Confess or Criticize ?
Memories of events and actions also drift when they don’t fit the mental structure I use to make sense of the world. If my belief of who I AM won’t accommodate things I experienced or acts I committed, that belief will drift around in my mind.
Secrets and hidden agendas are kept adrift by dis-aligning beliefs like, “I can’t reveal this.” I have to keep sending it attention energy so I don’t reveal them by accident. The more secrets I have, the more mentally crippled I will be.
Confessing instead of criticizing will free up stuck bits of data. The move to more self-honesty is the handling of any transgression of any period in the past:
1) Repent by saying: “I’m really sorry”.
2) Confess by saying: “I did it”.
3) Start to repair the damage the transgression has caused.
4) Decide to responsibly follow the guidance of your intuition.
Rumi quote:
“What strange beings we are!
Sitting in hell at the bottom of the dark,
we are afraid of our own immortality,
afraid of our power to heal the suffering in ourselves!”
