FACING YOUR GHOSTS ...

The following thoughts are those of Reverend Jim Rosemergy: "Sidney Greenberg wrote in Treasury of Comfort, 'Where sorrow is concerned, not repression, but expression is the wholesome discipline.' This is a powerful idea, for as Longfellow said we all have our secret sorrows. The secret sorrows are not the difficulty, for they are common to us all. The difficulty is that we repress our sorrows and the repression robs us of life. You see, when we hold back a portion of our feeling nature that we find troublesome, we unknowingly hold back a portion of our true selves. Expression is a better way. The sorrow may hurt when it is expressed but shortly after its expression will come the emergence of our true selves, and this is joy."

This repression of sorrow or pain or anger is sometimes the result of what I call "New Age Sin."

When our Unity Founder, Myrtle Fillmore, went into deep meditation asking Spirit the question of why she had not yet healed her body of an intestinal disorder, Spirit answered: "You have looked among your faults, now look among your virtues." It was then she realized that she was so busy using positive affirmations that she failed to explore the truth of the repressed pains. She then committed herself to examining daily what may have upset her and going to the person, when possible, and releasing it before it became part of her cellular system.

Jesus, the Christ, said: "Do not let the sun go down on your anger." ... "Make friends with your enemies quickly." and ... there is an old Irish saying: "When you see a ghost and face it, it will disappear before your very eyes. If you run from it, it will chase you the rest of your life."

I have found it best to take a close look at "what is." ... and ... I discovered that's it ... "What IS just IS!" ... and that's ALL it is. ... then ... I am able to LET GO and LET GOD! take care of it.

What do YOU think???
