All your thoughts of yourself or another are based in the past. All distressing emotions that are felt are rooted in the past. Within all these past thoughts there are attempts to keep something that you feel is ‘good’ and keep away something that you feel is ‘bad.’ The amount of energy that is used for this creates much emotional fatigue.
Your disgruntled feelings want you to believe they are real, permanent, and that your judgments are based in fact. There is no need to grab a shovel, dig around in the past, find someone to blame, and start from what you think is the beginning in attempts to prove your false ideas. The mind always returns to the past, no matter how deeply you have buried your emotions. To attempt to analyze the past and hold onto it for safe keeping only serves to keep your feelings playing an endless song while keeping you stuck and unable to move forward.
Healing from the past means releasing this energy and recognizing that you are not any past experience, and neither is anyone else.
Your purpose is to awaken and heal from a past that is no longer here. It takes emotional and spiritual maturity to recognize that the mind has a great fear of losing something, even when this appears as holding onto old and uncomfortable beliefs of a past reality. Every time the story of the past is retold it changes. It takes a lot of energy and attention to keep the past alive and causes you to miss what is truly in the here and now.
Reflect on everything you think, as a false, limited perception you impose on the world, and how you forgot you are connected to everything. Everyone wants to be loved. Everyone fears loss. The more you learn about your Self, your Light expands and joins with the Light of others and remembers that the Love that you are has never left you.
Begin to free the past from your grip by untying the ropes that have tethered you to something that is gone. You have the power and ability to change the way you feel about this game of life you are playing. When you entered this form you forgot how vast and unlimited you are and how much knowledge you have within you. Pull back the shades and let the Love shine in. You are an amazingly unique creation. Be curious. Be innocent. Be relaxed. Be confident, and just for a moment embrace the feelings you have been running from. They are not here to harm you only teach you. Smile, breathe, and feel the Heart Centered Joy that has never left you. And So It Is.
