What I describe here is a really powerful process I seem to be experiencing that is taking me further and deeper into the heart of the Divine. It does seem to be something of a process, as I've been here before, but it seems, periodically, that Goddess brings me back here once again and says "now it's time to deal with the next layer." I don't know if that makes any sense, but it does seem to be something of a constant. <BR/><BR/>Control has played a major factor in my life, and it is something that I am free from in so many areas now, but clearly not all! You are right to mention the subconscious, and here again, I think, is some work I need to do with Younger Self. My path is a path of personal transformation and unfortunately that's not always a comfortable experience. I really do value your input because although I know no one can walk another's path, it's always nice to know I'm not totally alone!<BR/><BR/>The process you describe is one that helped me quit smoking some years ago, so I can testify to the fact that it really works.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being there, it's really appreciated.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474171962206192207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832825231349391049.post-66575027993551797062008-07-18T15:20:00.000+01:002008-07-18T15:20:00.000+01:00You know what occurred to me after reading your la...You know what occurred to me after reading your last two posts? You mention you are hanging on to control and possibly things from the past and you know you must let go and take that step forwards. Well, here's a question (or two) that you might find useful:<BR/><BR/>When you are examining you control or the things from the past that linger, ask yourself "Does holding on to this give me any benefit in the present?" Also, "If I let go and release control, what will change? Will the things that caused me to be so controlled suddenly start happening again, or have I left that in the past?" You get the idea - question the why and the value of what you are doing, because if you rationally know that it's not serving any useful purpose, that will help your subconscious cone to terms with releasing things (especially if you talk aloud, cos talking to your subconscious is a bit like talking to a small child).<BR/><BR/>Do feel free to ignore this old lady waffle, but it jumped into my head and I thought I'd post!The Shepton Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13112727851345880405noreply@blogger.com
