The Past: Nostalgia or Sorrow

Many of us occasionally relive the past, enjoying the sense of nostalgia. However, it can also bring to mind sentiments of pain and sorrow. Reflecting on and identifying the joyful events that you have experienced develops a healthy sense of appreciation and gratitude. Occasionally, we drift to those memories that are negative and extremely painful. When that happens, it is important to avoid dwelling on the experience, reliving the event, or wallowing in the old pain. Doing so activates creative thoughts that will manifest similar experiences in your life. It is normal for old wounds to pop up from time to time. The key is to let them go, put them out of your thoughts. Failing to do so will create additional unwanted pain and sorrow in your life.

It is okay to have wished that things were different. Knowing what we would do differently sets the tone for our course of action in our daily lives. Knowing what went wrong allows for avoiding making the same mistakes again. The past is finished, and life is always flowing forward via change. It is important to maintain a healthy attitude, meaning it is good to be penitent about previous wrongs you may have committed or regrets for having lost opportunities. But it is critical to avoid dwelling on any negative emotions resulting from these experiences. Chronic focusing on negative emotions results in a continuation of negative events. Therefore, you must continue to move forward daily in a positive manner.

Creation and life are not static; creation is constantly moving forward through change. You must adjust your mindset to go with the flow of life. Choose with determination to move forward with living. Dwell in the present moment with thoughts and plans for experiencing a positive future. Your ability to focus your thoughts and to remain aware of your life’s desires is creation via willful intent.

Your Present Reality

It is healthy to learn from our past, and unhealthy to focus your thoughts and emotions on it. Reliving painful and negative emotions serves to fuel the fire of creating similar experiences in your present reality. When looking back on your past, try to focus on the positive instructional aspect of your prior attitude and actions. Direct your thoughts on the shedding of any anxiety of gloom and doom. Your present reality, your life is better served by positive planning for the future in a conscious manner.

The past is simply a memory, and nothing will change what occurred. Your future is only a potential that exists within your imagination. However, your present day is where you live and experience life. The future is continuously forming itself into the now.

What you believe, think, feel, and do today creates your tomorrow, and the future instantly becomes your past. While the past is but a memory, some folks allow themselves to be held hostage. They hold on to the pain and emotions, the need to feel validation, and the insistence on placing blame on others. They feel victimized and dwell on the emotions and the belief that they are victims

Letting Go

Letting go requires you to tap your inner strength, focus your thoughts positively on your daily events, with emphasis on your future of an improved life. Refuse to dwell on the false belief that you are a victim or unworthy. Living life with these false beliefs will keep you in that reality. Allow reflection to discover what you need to learn from your past experiences. Remember, your today creates your tomorrow. And that you are a physical manifestation of God expressing itself through all that you are.

Escape The Darkness of Life

The ability to escape the darkness of life has been a yoke around the neck of man since birth. Our lives from birth is as varied as the billions of individuals existing on this planet. We have been divided and separated by geography, culture, language, religion, and belief systems. Our perception of the world and the people around us has been influenced by all the above. Our parents, teachers, religious leaders, and those in government influenced how we perceived our faith or lack of it. They shaped our beliefs based on what we were taught in school, in church, and by the rules of society and government.

We accepted what we learned from our family, as there was no reason not to. Our parents were passing on what they had learned and believed to be correct. Unfortunately, some of us grew up in unstable homes. And what was experienced as life was passed on from one generation to the next. Yet many who come from loving homes can develop a feeling that something in life is lacking. They attempt to resolve this feeling of inadequacy through improper behavior. One can come from a loving home and perceive that they are unloved or unworthy.

There are many reasons for someone to feel bitter, angry, and hateful about how life has treated them as a child. Over time, these negative emotions fester and feed your thoughts, making your life extremely miserable. Ironically, some folks may perceive a minor life event negatively. The event will replay chronically in their mind, consuming their daily life. Creating and experiencing life in this way is not what our divine parents intended for their children.

What we must learn to remember is that we are Spiritual beings having a physical experience. We, our souls are an aspect of our divine parents manifested into the physical. We were given our own identity and God’s Free will to co-create life according to our desires. We exist so that God can discover all probabilities and possibilities within experiences, so that they can know themselves. God is not a physical form, but a vast field of energy, intelligent, conscious, and aware of itself. However, how can one know themselves without experiencing contrast, opposites, with no points of reference?

We are all extensions of this field, individualized with our own sense of identity, talents, characteristics, and emotional sensitivity. Our world is one of duality, opposites, and contrast. Everything has an opposite, such as up and down, hot and cold, and what we term good and evil.

However, there is something more important than just experience. It is how we experience life. It is living life from a state of harmony and love with our creator. God is pure love and compassion, we have free will, but with the caveat of do no harm. We are meant to create a full life while overcoming the challenges of darkness. The dark and negative events of life that get in our way. Incarnating into this world of duality results in our forgetting our divine origin. Our primary goal is to awaken to who we are and to live life accordingly.

Escape the Darkness Through Awakening

How does one escape the darkness? Part of the answer lies deep within yourself. Your mind is the builder of your life, your thoughts, words, and actions, fed by your emotions, bring it into reality. Develop a state of gratitude. Repeat to yourself throughout the day what you are thankful for: Dear God, I am thankful for my children, I am thankful for my medicine, I am thankful for my beautiful plants. Do not allow yourself to be distracted by the chaos in the world, by ego pride, or materialism. Do not be concerned with what others may think or say about you. While difficult, accept that it is they who have a problem, ask God to bless, and live your life with confidence as God intends for you.

Spirit Guides

We are not alone in this world. What is known as Spirit Guides, humans who have advanced to the fifth dimension, are part of our support system. Each of us has a primary guide who works energetically by giving us intuitive nudges or urges to follow a specific direction. Sometimes your guide can create an event in your life that appears negative, like losing your job. However, that may be necessary in guiding you to a better position.

Okay, you know you have help. But in many situations, such as this author., You have to hit rock bottom first. A point where pain and desperation is so severe you break down and ultimately call out to Jesus. When you call out to Jesus or God, do so with sincerity, and they will respond. The key is to remain aware and watch for their answers. It is not always a quiet voice in your head. It could be something as simple as words of a song, a message in a show you are watching, or being guided to a book or article. It can also be in a dream, a recurring thought, such as a strong feeling that you need to do something.

Bad Habits

Bad habits will block your progress. Many people are stuck in their misery and have difficulty breaking the chain of feeling like a victim, that the world and God are working against them. Your ego, your false self, feeds you thoughts of fear, doubt, anger, and all that’s negative. When your energy is vibrating at a low frequency of negativity, it only attracts more of the same. Some relish feeling angry; they incorrectly believe that they feel better when they have someone to blame. Blame never solves anything. It only fuels the fires of darkness through the energy of anger, hatred, and fear. Dwelling in pain and sorrow only brings more of the same.

You are a loved divine expression of God. You must fight to alter your thinking to what’s positive in your life. Focus on the little things first. It is normal to fall back to a moment of negativity. But you must respond to it with a feeling of love, or a small positive thought. Doing so minimizes any negative effect.

When you are exhausted, fearful, tired of living in pain, tired of illness, or any struggle that makes you negative. My advice is to find a quiet spot, call upon God or Jesus, talk as if speaking to a friend, tell them how lousy you feel, how bad things are. Ask them for help in letting go of all your troubles. After asking, try to think about one positive thing every day. It could be something as simple as saying, ” Wow, my rose plant is beautiful and pleasant, or my dog loves me unconditionally, I am grateful. Sounds silly, but it opens the door to feeling better when you look for the little positive things. Gratitude, which is sincere, works wonders in one’s life.

Dark Forces

Dark forces exist that feed off the energy that your negativity creates. They also work on you, telepathically placing negative or dark thoughts in your mind. From my experience, dark thoughts that life was worth nothing, as I was a failure. Fearful feelings of aloneness, that I was condemned to hell. I believe that my life was for nothing, that now all I had was old age and physical pain from my disability. Thoughts filled my head that I would be better off dead. But fortunately, something inside me fought back, allowing me to be angry because I wanted something more. I cried because I wanted a life of purpose, utility, and meaning. In desperation, I called out to Jesus, told him all that I felt. How I failed, that I fear God and condemnation because religion made me feel this way. That I desired to know God intimately but did not know how to relate, and that I desired to be of meaningful service.

Well, the answer that saved me mentally and spiritually came in a most unexpected way. I will say it now involves my ability to communicate with my spirit guide late in life.

Claim Your Inner Power

Inner power was something I never thought about throughout my life. Life for me was a chronic state of frustration, pain, and difficulties. While I eventually learned that thoughts and emotions are energetic and creative, I continued to create my life by default. Spiritually, I had my ups and downs, good days, and terrible days. Over the years I spent a great deal of time studying the Law of Attraction. Yet, I was stuck in a rut for decades simply because I failed to take corrective action. Why would that be? Was I lazy or just overwhelmed with the trials of a life filled with negativity?

Desire

We all desire a better life. We desire financial freedom, a loving spouse, and a meaningful life. Yet we tend to do nothing about it. We either lack the knowledge or, more importantly, the motivation. Many times, we are emotionally exhausted, and we plod through life doing the bare minimum. For anything to change, your desire must be a burning one. Something that will instill a sense of urgency, allowing you to develop a disciplined plan of action. A plan that must be worked on without fail. Easy for me to say, it’s the doing that’s tough. Desire is the first step into creating change. You have to desire it intensely.

Thought, Attitude, and Perception

Your thoughts and perception as to how you view your life and the world around you is key to the development of your attitude towards people and life. Your attitude influences thoughts and the emotions that follow. Thoughts are things, and what you think about becomes your reality either by default or consciously. Your intentions and how you think about things are fueled into reality by your emotions. Negative or dark thoughts create negative and dark energy, which manifests into events and experiences most folks don’t want. Positive, pleasant, and loving thoughts bring similar events and experiences into your life. Remember, you reap what you sow, as like energy attracts like energy.

When you focus consciously with awareness on what you’re thinking and how it manifests in your life, you are in control of what you create. Your desire, coupled with your thoughts, words, and actions, creates your reality according to the Law of Attraction. On the other hand, ignorance of the Law of Attraction results in a haphazard means of bringing events and experiences into your life. You are then creating by default.

Emotions

You should develop a mindset regarding the terms right, wrong, good, and bad. We attach negative emotions when things don’t occur as planned. And we feel positive when they do. However, technically, there is no such thing as right or wrong, good or bad. It simply is what it is. Meaning, you either received the result you wanted, or you didn’t. Rather than let negative emotions take charge, simply consider a new course of action.

Results sometimes may not be what we desire, or things may not work out in our favor. We need to take the view that how it turned out simply is what it is, and we need to take a different course of action. We are trained to attach negative and positive emotions using the concept of right and wrong, good and bad. When things don’t go as planned attaching negative emotions to the outcome only feeds the negative, making situations worse.

If you can adapt to the adage that it just is what it is and move forward with alternative choices and thoughts until you achieve the results you desire, and life will flow easier. Retraining how you look at things creates a new perception, which is not negative. Detaching yourself from negative connotations defuses negative thoughts and emotions, keeping them out of your life.

Discipline and Perception

Discipline and perception are vital to your success. Don’t feel or believe you are a victim of life. Go deep within yourself, call out to Jesus for strength and guidance if necessary. Do all that you can to succeed. Attempt day by day to develop a system of discipline. Change how you see yourself, your life and the world around you. It’s all about perception. Change your current beliefs and attract new thoughts relative to those beliefs. Remember, when you keep doing what you’re doing, you keep on getting what you’re getting. You are a divine aspect of God; you are worthy of all things good. Co-Create with God a life of health, wealth and happiness, yes, you can do it with God, because you are loved.
