Reliving The Memories Of The Past (Part 3)
Can someone without spiritual power accept the negative happenings of the past easily is a good question to ask? Of course, without the help of spirituality, there are some who easily move on and look at the present and future with a positive vision after an uncomfortable event has passed in their life, but that is only temporary and only a few are gifted with the natural ability and power to do that. Perhaps their sanskaras or personality traits which may be their own ones or received from their parents are one of strength and stability but such souls are few. But let us talk about the majority of us who do tend to become sorrowful sometimes when past events which have hurt us or brought down our happiness levels are mentioned by our family members or are remembered by us or their memories are triggered in our minds on seeing certain negative present events in our lives when without us consciously deciding, our thoughts and feelings tend to drift into a negative mindset.
Attachment is the seed of all negative emotions. If you see some of the vices or the main enemies of the soul – lust, anger, greed, ego, jealousy, hatred, even fear – all have their origins in one single negative emotion of attachment. Obviously, past memories surface inside some people’s minds more than others because of a mind that is not able to let go of what it has faced or what negative experience it went through however long ago. The ability to let go or forget easily is brought about by sanskaras of the practice of soul consciousness and Supreme Soul consciousness or the remembrance of the Supreme Soul. Do you know that when we souls were completely pure in our initial births, we were in a state of such strong detachment that even when we left the body and took another body, we used to not experience sorrow? This is an external detachment from the physical body. Not remembering a negative past at all and a positive past excessively requires internal detachment. So, becoming a pure soul by visualizing oneself as a sparkling being or soul of light just above the eyebrows separate from this body throughout the day and even keeping an hourly chart for noting the amount of time I have remained in that experience in every hour while performing actions as well as in the midst of actions, every 2 hours for at least 3 minutes i.e. atleast 5-6 times a day, seeing oneself as a sparkling soul in the Supreme Soul’s presence in the soul world and absorbing His pure energy within oneself is the long term method of becoming internally detached from what has already happened in my life – either pleasant or not so pleasant.

Message for the day 03-06-2015
-----------------------------------------
The treasure of thoughts is the biggest treasure.
Thought to ponder: When I think negative or waste, there is a high speed of my thoughts. Such thoughts are not powerful. On the other hand, when my thoughts are positive, there are few powerful thoughts. Such thoughts create a positive impact.
Point to practice: Today I will check my thoughts. I will also create a beautiful thought that I will sustain throughout the day. "I have the power to influence my life" "I am the master" is a simple positive thought that will lessen the speed of my thoughts and make me powerful.
