Life has its good sides - and its drawbacks. And to assist the man into a dark hours, schriebt Eckehardt be liber benedictus - The book of divine consolation. Eckehardt sees a tripartite structure of the suffering - and he says:
"There are three kinds of afflictions that touches people and oppressed in this misery. One comes from the damage to the outer well, the other from the loss of his relatives and friends happens to the third from the damage of the self happens to him in contempt, inconvenience, physical pain and heartache. " (M. Eckehardt, Liber Benedictus, island Paperback, page 11)
I feel terrible when I lose something. Because I want it to be. It is in my thoughts, my mind and my heart. But what if I want to realize that they have lost it? Including Marc Aurel says something like: If something bad happens to you, and you can to develop the attitude that you have basically always been the case wanted to, you develop the strength to deal with these very different things.
We are not fine, if other - we like to - badly. Is now a crisis shared a problem halved - or double Sorry? A sorrow for the suffering in each case: for in that he sees I'm not alone, he finds it somewhat easier to deal with his experience. I'm on hold. There is someone who likes me despite all that know and love is in my area. An adviser, so to speak.
And I feel bad when something happens to myself that I did not. Is the one hand. On the other hand, an old friend told me this recently: "Things seem just as bad, as long as they do not occur. Then you go to it somehow. It is the fear of fear that makes us really scared. "And I can also confirm. I was always terrified to get a serious illness. Until something happened and I had longer hospital. Then it was just so - later became my way to cure this disease - and today the memory of a source of strength for my life. Sometimes you have to be maybe just lost once - so one can (to) find themselves.
And for all the suffering that befalls one - there are at least a way out. And there are techniques and assistance that we can make our grief bearable. In Buddhism it is said: All of life - is suffering. All suffering - but also experience. And all know - is to learn. Life is so also simple to learn.
result in specific disease situations, much like simply by themselves else seems tough and extremely hard. And to help the people to be suffering in the truest sense of the word to learn, writes Eckehardt a three-part book, against the three-part form of suffering.
exciting that it has the number 3 is very important. 3 is actually a great number, we believe in a triune God. Freud says, the human psyche consists of 3 parts. And a friend of mine says: 3 is the true unity. Jesus says: Where two or three of you are gathered in my name, there am I in the Middle. Three words is something special, and has - considered structurally - a huge impact on our lives. It seems to me Eckehardt suggests the outline of his work: There are three causes for your pain - and you have three antidote for it.
And are these:
a) this or that truth can comfort people in their suffering
b) 3sig pieces and lessons available in which each man can utter comfort
c) specific examples from the life, suffering and learning from great people and role models - and the words they spoke when they were in suffering.
For me, this means that Eckehardt takes man in his suffering - his personal pain seriously. He does not know-all: Do stop this and that or: you have to stop the do it. Or: Do not you know that ... or the like. No. He says rather: It's Ok. Bad has happened to you. You are allowed to be violated. You have every right to feel you bad. But stay are not there. Go on. And even more: it offers concrete spiritual help from the suffering to get out again. to see light in the darkness, if you will. He also knows that this process needs the spiritual healing of his time.
And therefore: Take Time. Even if you are in suffering. Take time for yourself time with you. Time with your feelings. And perhaps it is for you, even time with God. If the light, the energy of the consoles you will come to you, and welled up spontaneously in your heart. Namely, when you do you ask yourself. To say yes to his suffering, also means: to say yes to his salvation. And not just in a religious sense - but in a tangible sense. Salvation that is to be released in this context about his problems for me. This inner detachment from pain is a liberation that wards off the experience is not easy, but it integrates into one's life. But by this record into one's life, the pain all at once from something negative into something positive. Something that enriches us. Not for nothing that The strongest characters, who even the deepest scars. And after every night, start of a new morning.
