As we become more skilled at anything we generally get quicker and more aware of what we are doing. Again, it's 'reading the recipe and then baking and eating the cake' theory again, miles apart ;-) Agree with you both, definitely a case of practice makes perfect.

Maybe it's an " ageing " thing. LOL.

A long overdue visit to an aging parent this weekend was occasion for revisiting my past. Many things clicked into place & healing took place. Sad/funny that knowing all *this" (info in this blog) doesn't mean you can always put it in effect & diffuse the emotions events will trigger. I am finding it takes less time to do so, as time goes by. Possibly partly from realizing just how precious time is, especially that spent with loved ones - even if you didn't understand 'love' way back when. Again I thank you for a meaningful, helpful blog.

Outside influences are upsetting when we feel powerless or betrayed or let down by other peoples behavior. This lesson is not saying that we should not be upset. My interpretation is that as we are made up of millions of thoughts we are also made up of millions of memories, most of which remain forgotten and unhealed. So when the train is late or a credit crunch arrives via bankers and politicians, yes we are upset but " I am not upset for the reason I think " as the present moment triggers off past hurts, therefore piling more wood on the fire. It is the unhealed parts of our past that flame the fire of the present. Thankfully I am not responsible for the mishaps of others but I am responsible for my response to them. The Princess Di effect illustrates this well. When mass grieving broke out people thought it was about her death when in fact in was more about the unexpressed losses of death from each individuals past that made such hysteria sweep the world. They were not upset for the reasons they thought. Most healing is silent. A Course in Miracles wisely suggests this lesson as an IDEA so that we can see that when the past is cleared ( it holds no purpose ) and the future is ego led we only have the present moment to adhere to. I find that unravelling present upsets allows me to move forward quicker in peace. This lesson does not stop me from being upset at outside actions but does allow me to see that present upsets are not attached to the past ( that hold no purpose ). I like the slogan that AA uses sometimes FEEL IT. CLAIM IT. DUMP IT. This allows me to express freely then let go of it, ( when I remember ) LOL.

The ego doesn’t want the key.

Take it anyway, eventually you’ll need it.
