“The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same
level of thinking with which we created them.” - Einstein
Last night as I was reviewing memories of the past, I thought
about what most people say about being in the present moment,
rather than living in the past. However, it is only human to look
back at events & experiences. There are good memories & bad
memories. I started this with a quote from Einstein, because
when an upsetting memory comes to mind, which is a trigger
for negative emotions, I feel the need to offer the thoughts to
what I believe is my Higher Power. It is a belief that something
greater than my own consciousness can take the triggered
emotions from me. It usually always works; at least until I start
doubting in the process, & feel bad from the associated memory
again. As much as I like to be in the present moment, or
imagine the possibilities of the future, the past can be a source
of strength, or a struggle with areas I’ve been hurt. So, the
strategy I mentioned is suggested, to work with whatever or
whoever you may see as a greater consciousness known. Some
say it is the Universe, the Divine, God, Jesus, Buddha, etc. This
all helped me last night, & maybe it will help you too, if you
need to heal & make peace with the past.
