"Be still and know that I am here with you. In your stillness shall you find your way". Your emotions are bringing a healing. They are feelings that you have not had permission to have or feelings that you have tried to ignore. The issues are concerning your self-worth and your self-respect and creating an environment to live in that reflects those conditions. Therefore anything that will not support you self esteem, your self-respect and your honor will be stripped from you. Continue to let go...even if you have no logical reason why even if you are unable to comprehend the process you must trust, in faith, that what is being removed from you now is no longer necessary and in fact may not be contributing at all to your well being, You seek security in stability and sameness but nothing is static or stable; things are in a constant state of change and of growth. Your choice is to accept such growth. It is when your resist the growth that it often becomes painful and confusing and definitely difficult to comprehend. What is occurring now is a pruning process- those things that would take life and energy from you rather than charging you and giving you more energy and ability to give to the world and have that energy return...these things that would drain you are being stripped away, released. These things are- people, patterns, beliefs and physical things that no longer are necessary for your growth. Release them and let them seek their proper place in the world. When you have used something and no longer have a use for it you dispose of it so that it can serve another's purpose. It is most specifically hard to release people and patterns that you identify with. Meaning, that you believe you are these patterns or these relationships. But, patterns and relationships merely reflect who and where you are at any given time. As you grow and change so must your relationships in the world as well as your relationship to your own identity. You are urged to look within to see who you truly are rather than to consider yourself as your patterns your achievements your failures or your relationships. There is so much more than you can see. Be willing to set yourself free from the past and the things and patterns and people you so desperately cling to because you believe you need them and that they are your identity. Let yourself be purified by letting go. Let yourself not be held a prisoner of your past by holding to your fears or your sentiments or your beliefs. You are not in need for you have everything you require in each moment, if you could but look and see clearly. There is no need to fear for your safety. Danger appears when you lose sight of your true identity and your true nature. Danger is the illusion that someone other then your Self (God) has power over you. Indeed that is not so. What you have created has been for your learning. Trust that whether you can figure it out or not that indeed a lesson has been learned. Do not torture your mind to discover what the lesson was or is. In time all is revealed for its truth. And, that is nothing to be afraid of. Take refuge and comfort in the holiest part of your Self that remembers who you are what you are here to learn and what you are here to teach. Be receptive to ALL of your feelings as you would be to a frightened child who knows not that he need not fear. Your feelings will lead you to the truth of Self. Though they may not be "comfortable" feelings they are ultimately comforting to the truer you for they serve as a reminder of the truth of your being.
Anger, frustration pain...all are necessary parts of your equation because you believe they must be. And so, such belief perpetuates the pattern. They are natural feelings because you have taught yourself that this is your "nature". Let your learning open to reveal and even grander nature of you. Larger than your anger or your frustration or pain...for indeed you are larger than your feelings. You are not your feelings, expand to hold them and you will see what wonderful teaching tools they can be. Welcome them...whether you "think" you want them or not. Let your feelings come as blessings for indeed they are.. Rest sure that you are larger than anything you have created....you did not come here to triumph so you need not fight. You came here to learn...chose the way of your learning now by welcoming your Self in peace.
