I am deeply saddened to learn of Robin Williams suicide. He was one of my favorite entertainers ...a comic genius in motion. I have so many feelings and thoughts flooding my consciousness upon this news. I have met thousands of spirits who have committed suicide and as many parents, siblings, lovers, children and friends whove lost their loved ones to suicide. And Ive experienced the dark grips of debilitating depression first hand. As a young woman I came close to death from depression and my self-destructive actions. Today, I feel the utmost compassion for those who experience the unrelenting grip of sometimes paralyzing force of suffering. Unless youve experienced it directly or witnessed its hold, it may be difficult to understand how deep the despair can run. My personal healing journey has required me to understand its presence and surrender myself to a Spiritual Path that would support me through these moments. My healing remains a one day at a time process. This past weekend I witnessed 2 people that I love dearly slip into this darkness. When we heard the news today, we wondered if that same darkness pushing him to this despairing choice may have been felt by those linked to his soul group some how? We wondered if this was a call that we were somehow not fully appreciating. Is this even possible? As I write, I keep hearing yes. When we feel this energy coming, it can be so important to tell someone how depressed you are feeling. And it is equally important not to judge yourself or another. Or take actions to numb or stop the pain with a price. Do not minimize or criticize someone who cannot shake their dark mood. Seek professional support for yourself or the one in need. There are many avenues to healing....western medicine, alternative and complimentary healing modalities. I know for me, taking personal responsibility for this orientation has not been easy. I was often judged for not snapping out of it . My spiritual practices have created a strong support for me. By cultivating a direct connection to Spirit, I am able to find my way through the caves that my soul sometimes tends to linger within. I am able to discover the peace of the immutable spirit beneath the suffering that at times eclipses that light. Tonight, I send my loving compassion, prayers to Robins soul and all impacted by his tragic death. I send my loving prayers to all souls who suffer in silent despair that the clouds may lift, that the light may emerge into a meaningful momentum of freedom. May all suffering cease. May all beings be free
