Message:
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."
The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?"
"That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them."
"For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.
You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
SO, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

My feet feel like they are on fire. I feel the flames from my ankles to my knees.

May be good here to ground properly to the earth by releasing some energy right out the bottom of your feet...you can do this simply by visualizing the energy slowly & naturally moving down your legs and out the bottoms of your feet. You can also calm your energies / vibrations by using Carl Jung's "active imagination" technique where you imagine yourself going onto a beach, YOUR beach that you have created in your mind...which is more real in the Ether that the ones off the coast of Florida in the physical. Once there, look around to find a crystal-clear, cool pool of water. Stand in it. Let the cool water put out the fire in your feet. Don't forget to breathe in and out of you solar pexis when you do this.

Is it alright if you feel a strong pain at those points. Cause I sometimes feel like I can't take it no more. What do you think about something called the second mind? What does that mean? Ever heard of it?

Yes, many feel the pain that you describe...all associated with various chakras...and all point to blocks that need clearing. Patience, this takes time. Again, breath work & purposeful meditation (Jung).
Remember, when the k energy starts to rise, as YOURS is just awakening / uncoiling, you begin to clear not only things in this life......but, all the tombstones of past lives. Takes courage to face, and not all will understand its path, as it is not meant for everyone at this time. THE SOUL MUST BE READY.
I have never heard of "the second mind." Could simply be a way to tap into the unconscious mind, intuition, or mind maping.
May your path to enlightenment be full of divine love & may all the messages you receive be for YOUR highest good.
