Every now and then certain thoughts or images will arise from our subconscious mind that will cause some adverse reactions. We may feel pain, suffering which may result in a sense of fear, lack or loss.

It could be that in your childhood or during your upbringing you may have experienced some difficult times and those memories would come back once in a while and play the drama of all that took place in the past.

Perhaps you were involved in an abusing relationship, or maybe you grew up in a dysfunctional environment. Whatever it maybe our integrity, our soul which comprises all that we have experienced in this lifetime thus far, will cry out for help, for salvation.

I have heard someone once says: “life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it”. Some things happened to us that may have been entirely out of our control. However it is up to us to take charge and responsibility for our lives by how we react to them.

Some things do happen to us however that somehow we have attracted into our life experiences. Those things are the ones we tend to ignore the most because the ego would rather keep us enslaved by not recognizing the part we have played so that we may blame, accuse and find others guilty.

The ego’s sole purpose is to keep us in darkness through unawareness. It does not want us to become aware of the truths that will make us free. And unfortunately many people have fallen into its trap. They are experiencing many emotional hurts and sufferings as a result of past events or circumstances but are unable to change their current life conditions. They feel disempowered because they are not aware of the true cause of their pain; for they are looking for it where it cannot be found.

The truth is we all have been affected by one enemy. It is the same ego that multiplies itself through diverse personalities in different individuals. It is this false personality that has made us blind to our true nature; first in us then in others. This is the ego we must transcend in order to allow our true essence to arise.

You can heal yourself, thus save yourself. First you must recognize that whatever it is that you think others may have done to you, they have done out of ignorance, for they too have been deceived by the voice of the liar in their heads, which is the voice of the false personality. Whatever you acknowledge you may have done to cause pain and sufferings in your own life experiences you also have done out of ignorance.

You can repent through this acknowledgement and forgive and heal yourself. You may also ask the infinite source of wisdom and love within to lead you and guide you from now on in all your decisions making.

Secondly you must release everyone from your heart, thus releasing yourself from the ego’s grasp. Commit them to divine grace and wish them well by sending positive vibrations towards them through your thoughts and prayers. Trust infinite spirit to lead them to the way of true salvation and perfect happiness.

Thirdly focus on saving your own soul. That is the sole purpose of your soul journeying on earth. You are here to make yourself happy, to realize your true self. This is your destiny; this is your life’s purpose. You can’t be happy if you are not free. Your divine nature, your true self, your integrity will continuously seek for salvation until it is set free. It awaits your awareness and your awakening. You know what you must do, simply do it and be free.
