to God, life and spirituality. I have tried to tackle some of these issues by putting forward what I see as a viable way to look at our problems. I filter my behaviors through the core drivers in order to determine which of them are missing. The best advice I can provide is this: you know you are on the right path when your own solutions encompass love, joy, unity, understanding and freedom for everyone, including yourself. Especially yourself. Your feelings around how much you have expanded into your core drivers is an indication as to how well we are succeeding. Your feelings are signals that guide you along your path. We all know when something feels right for us and when it does not. Now, more than ever, it is important to get in touch with your feelings. Especially those emotions that are not in harmony with love, joy, unity, understanding or freedom. Get in touch with those emotions that arouse discomfort such as guilt, anger and hatred. Examine your past through your feelings and emotions. Feel out those areas that cause discomfort. Re-experience those events and release those long held emotions you have bottled up inside. Scream, if you need to (best done in private), or punch the daylights out of your pillow. Release your emotions, accept them and forgive yourself for letting them fester and control you. This will open up those dark emotional spaces and once opened to your awareness, you can let in divine light and love. This brings that dark emotional part of you into harmony and balance. Each time we do this it brings a partial understanding as to how controlled and unconscious we have allowed ourselves to become. Our emotional darkness has developed from what we have experienced, what we were taught and how we have been trained to react and think. Opening up to your darker emotions aids in gaining the ability to throw out the false supposition that we are powerless to change the world or ourselves. Through our actions, lack of action and fear, we have created deep layers of dark emotions. In not facing those emotions and their causes, we have buried them deep inside our subconscious. Whatever their original cause, they continually trigger us to emotionally react to any and all similar events. We can no longer claim to be a victim when we realize it is us who create the situations that lead to our self created reactions of guilt or anger. We have turned a blind eye to our emotional problems for far too long and the time has come to take responsibility. Feel your fears, your guilt and your anger. Find their root cause, accept them as part of who you are and forgive yourself for allowing them to continue. Understand your dark feelings, let them be free and embrace them with the love in your heart. When you open up to these past experiences, you may cry, scream or rant, and that is O.K.. Give your feelings the freedom of expression they require. Then joyously accept them with the love in your heart. Let them know they are honored and accepted by you. Let yourself know that there was no shame in allowing your past hidden emotions to control you. Forgive yourself for believing otherwise. This has the potential of being one of the most personal and liberating things you have ever done - but recognize that you are not alone, as life is a boat we all travel in together. This is an instance where you are unique, yet much like everybody else. There is no reason to harbor guilt or to feel anger or hatred. Nonetheless, it takes time and effort to realize who we are and to throw out our old mental constructs. In the end, it is bal ancing Divine Will with Divine Love. I now understand the illusions of guilt, anger and hate cannot exist in a place of love, joy, unity, understanding and freedom. Always be conscious of what works for you and what does not work for you. Become aware of who you are, who you want to be and why. Bring love, joy, unity, understanding and freedom in to your life, especially to your shadow self. Love, joy, unity, understanding and freedom are the signposts that you are on a path to your higher self. For this I am grateful.
