I have learned that there are some old psychological scars and bad memories from the past that one can never forget, and never seem to move beyond.
Forgiving is helpful and obligatory. Forgetting is a whole lot harder, and is perhaps impossible.
It occurred to me that maybe I was going about this the wrong way. Rather than get over it, maybe I should just live with it, and seek to convert a negative into a positive. How could that be done?
1. One should adopt an attitude of neutrality towards ancient injuries. If one is neither euphoric or saddened by old wounds, then they are there, but are not very relevant.
2. If one can come to grips with old injuries, and resolve to learn what one can from the incidences, and then to be at peace as much as one can, then perhaps one is approaching a mental state of well-being.
3. By loving the self and others, one uses psychic energy to increase self-appreciation and decrease self-loathing.
4. By praying to God, De's divine healing energy flows through one's entire being.
5. By adopting a positive attitude, old burdens become bearable, and one can commence building a new life for the rest of one's life.
6. By individuating, all that is one's past is grist for the mill churning out artistic wonders to share with the world. Start churning.
