You are always encouraged to live in the present
moment, but at times it is necessary to dip into the past in order to
heal.  Go back in your memories to a
painful time … one which if you dreamed of it now you would call it a bad
dream.  Why do you call it so?  Because of what was missing at the time.  What is missing in all events that cause you
intense pain is a focus on the greater reality of which you are a part.  Perhaps at that time you did not know that
you are an eternal soul, born in this world for a temporary experience so that
the soul may grow.  This awareness
changes one’s perspective greatly.

If you found yourself in a nightmarish situation
with no other perspective than the human viewpoint, then of course you would
despair.  There is such aloneness when
you do not remember that you walk with angels. 
As you awaken to this Truth, you can go back to the bad-dream memories
of your life and relive them through the eyes of the soul.  Infuse them with Christ-love, Buddha mind,
soul awareness.  Feel how the dream would
have changed had that awareness been present in you and others. 

No longer carry past pains to your now-moments.  Rewrite the past with soul awareness and heal
the present.
