Whether we know it or not, we are creating the lives we live all around us.
Whatever dominates in our thought, consciously or unconsciously, comes out in the life we are living.
I found this very disturbing.
There were many issues which I prayed about constantly, and although I could see improvement in many of them, there were still situations in which my otherwise effective prayers had no control whatsoever.
As I watched with deepening horror my utter inability to change the very slow progression of my life in certain important areas, I was finally led to some other conclusions.
Through reading and workshops and persistent rigorous attention, I finally was led to the understanding of deep unconscious influences.
These are the types of things that we simply grow up with.
They are in the atmosphere around us when we are born.
Or certain shocking, tragic or traumatic events can be buried.
While we appear to be able to function after their immediate effects disappear, we may still have deeper work to do to destroy their influence and effects in our lives.
With no other options, I took on the work of redirecting, and even rebuilding, my mind.
It has been trial and error many times, but gradually, I have gained some techniques and tools which have aided me greatly.
I have learned to create the images which will benefit me instead of causing me repeated despair.
I have learned to release even the most treasured of desires and relationships in order to gain my peace within.
No treasured association is worth the pain it can cause if things are not going right.
I required uplifting thoughts around me as well as from within.
And so, I have reshaped my life, both within and all around me.
I am greatly encouraged by my progress and look forward to expanding it.
