These things do not belong to me and I do not belong to them.⁣
⁣
I do not give these emotional states my energy.⁣
⁣
I do not feed these burdensome thoughts.⁣
⁣
I do not kneel before this fear.⁣
⁣
None of these heavy feelings are mine and must leave my spiritual home.⁣

The spirit of evil is fear, negation, the adversary who opposes life in its struggle for eternal duration and thwarts every great deed, who infuses into the body the poison of weakness and age through the treacherous bite of the serpent; he is the spirit of regression, who threatens us with bondage to the mother and with dissolution and extinction in the unconscious.

For the hero, fear is a challenge and a task, because only boldness can deliver from fear.

And if the risk is not taken, the meaning of life is somehow violated, and the whole future is condemned to hopeless staleness, to a drab grey lit only by will-o'-the-wisps.”

C. G. Jung, Symbols of Transformation

You go through the experience again and again until you give up your attachment to it.

It makes no difference what the experience is.

The only thing that matters is how you react to the experience.

The experience is very necessary or you would not be going through it.

When you understand this, you can only be happy.

Robert Adams

Cheer up thumbs downers!

In the time it took you to express your negative reaction to this idea you could have used those mental resources to massage your mood.

You’re always talking yourself into the way you are feeling.

There are ways out of feeling bad even if you aren’t aware of what those ways are.

If this idea offends you there are plenty of other channels to follow that will reinforce whatever you believe is true.
