If You Can't Release the Past





 

  Today
I take all my unhappy memories out of my body and place them in a
basket.

My pain, my anger, and my resentments are placed in this
basket.

I have an angel that takes this basket of unhappiness from my
hands and flies to the outer reaches of the universe and transforms it
into loving energy that will revisit me later today.

I forgive those
around me and ask for divine assistance to hold me in a state of
continual forgiveness.

I am trying to figure that out too, although with you sal I think you know the answer :) But, I am trying to let go of the negtive past circumstances (financial decisions)and all of that negative self talk that comes along with it, and retrain myself so that my future can be positive.

Now, when I think of the past and 'what not to do', I also have negative emotions that correspond with that. So, do I just move on knowing that I need to think successfully and think of myself as a wonderfully successful person and not let myself 'go-there'? Because in actuality, I believe the lesson is ingrained in my psychi now so perhaps revisiting my mistakes is not necessary. Hmmm.

Glad I have friends here who are better students of this stuff I am just learning.

You know Sal you're helping me figure this out :)

I think it is important to remember what went wrong and why so that we can prevent them from occurring again. Whether it be a situation where a business failed....or a break down in a relationship or personal financial collaps. Everything can be analyzed and we can make the changes to prevent the same kind of thing from happening again. Maybe we just should forget the things that tie us to the negative like fear, anger, emotions that corresponded to the problem. But remember the behavior that lead us to the problem.

As usual, thought* full* question.

We can release the past however this does not  mean we cannot take with us it's wisdom for future use.  Hey we paid highly for some of it for whatever reason(s)

May as well use it and pay it forward and honor our beingness.

As Rev. Doris stated for himself (Hi Rev.) I also do not regret anything that ever happened to me as without it I could not be who I am. 

Without the childhood denigrations or the marriage tribulations, I would not now have the info of the workings of the psych I now have from which to share from my compassionate heart.

I remember the saying "Release the past in the present to create the future in the now"

Hi Butch, Rev, Pam and all

I must admit, I can not honestly say that I do not have regrets.

There are times in my life where I feel that I could have handled things a little better. And I regret that I did not follow a path that would have made things easier for everyone.

I regret too losing my two brothers to horrible deaths, and not being the son that my father wanted me to be.

Yes, I can forgive myself, and I can release the fear and negativity associated with almost everything I have been through in my life; but can I honestly sit back and say, "I have absolutely no regrets over anything that has happened in my life?"

In truth, the answer is, "No"

I do not allow these regrets to overwhelm me or control my actions in the present, but they still exist
