thanks a lot for sharing this text with the public.
As I have recently learned as well, it is important to feel the feelings that come up. In fact, it very much appears to me as if life actually - if necessary repeatedly - presents us with opportunities to feel those unresolved feelings from the past, in order to be able to release and resolve them. Only then we can liberate ourselves from these unconscious programming that our subconscious mind has created to avoid having to deal with these bad memories and related feelings from the past. Unfortunately, these programs / established avoidance mechanisms limit us in our free choice and creative power to make the best of the lives that we live.
So yes, next time a specific situation, song on the radio or movie you watch or whatever else that causes you to feel a specific feeling, accepted as is ... be angry, sad, frustrated, disappointed or whatever else, and know that if you allow yourself to release and dissolve this emotion, you are likely able to remove some sort of "stop sign" (as Brian Ridgway would put it) and open up a new opportunity for your to grow and expand.
As you know, I am a big fan of the "Conversations with God" trilogy of books, and there it says repeatedly that Life is not a school and we're NOT here to learn lessons. The God voice continues to say that we do not have anything to learn, in fact all we have to do is re-member (with that knowledge that we already have). What we are here to do is to find out and express who we really are, that is "children of God" or little fragments of "God's body". I believe that those trapped emotions that we did not allow ourselves to feel in the past, are currently in the way of recognizing the magnificence of who we truly are. In order to re-discover this, it requires us to remove those "stop signs" that I mentioned in my previous reply, such that we can realize, grow and expand into more of who we truly are!
A very raw and personal piece which balances the recovery and learning you’re clearly travelling through, with the gratitude and courage it’s taken to get this far. Keep going, keep writing, keep forgiving

I am looking forward to reading from you again.

Thanks Joerg. Yes I try and see what is being presented and where I need to heal. Life is always giving us lessons.

Thank you Rachel. Writing is certainly very therapeutic isn't it?
