I find that memories come up and, inevitably, accompanying issues. If they were resolved, they wouldn't come up. They are here to be addressed and transmuted. Some of these memories have haunted me for years. With ho' oponopono, I can receive these uncomfortable guests with a compassionate heart. At least I really do try to do this. My impressions of these "other" people are, after all, my creations. So I allow myself to embrace them as part of me and ask for forgiveness. Whatever I think they did to me, I ask for forgiveness. Whatever I think I've done to them, I ask for forgiveness. Whatever they think I did to them or they did to me, I ask for forgiveness. I can't say that I am yet eager to greet these parts of me - especially since they seem to flood my brain before I even open my eyes in the morning, making it difficult for me to greet the day with joy. I awaken with a sense of anxiety and depression. But every day I take responsibility for that creation and go to work with the shadowed past. I allow each sorrow to speak. The words they say are, "I love you, I am sorry, please forgive me, thank-you." In a past dispensation, we used to pray for "all whom I have ever wronged and for all who have ever wronged me." And now, since I know that all of this is inside of me, I have a way to contact and connect with those memories and issues and release them. "I own them, so I can heal them." I have this ability and power through the recognition that we are, indeed, one. This is God's grace and compassion in action. I will continue to clean, clean, clean until the tears have all been shed and the joy of the Christ clearly and resoundingly greets me every morning. in the Tibetan Shambhala tradition, they call this the "rising sun consciousness." I pray for it to fill me and ds-place and replace the dreary qualities of the not-self. I am very grateful for Ho' oponopono, for the Hearts Center, for my Beloved Heart Friends, for David and Mona and for this Blessed new dispensation and opportunity. Thank-you Masters and Angels and Elemental Beings. How I love you.
