Status Updates From Letting Go: The Pathway To ...

296--
I don't agree -
"Ignore thoughts. They are merely endless rationalizations of inner feelings."

295:
"-Beliefs that are unconscious can manifest as illness even though there is no memory of the underlying beliefs"

295: Basic Principles (Healing) - good summary (would have been better if every chapter had a brief summary of important points like this).

-"The mind (thoughts & feelings) controls the body; therefore, to heal the body, thoughts and feelings need to be changed.
-What is held in mind tends to express itself through the body.

293: "...They do work they love, so they feel continually inspired & creative. They do not seek happiness; they have discovered that happiness is a by-product of doing what they love. A feeling of personal fulfillment comes naturally from their positive contribution to the lives of others, including family, friends, groups, and the world at large."

293: "A mind that is concentrated on a positive thought has the power to increase the likelihood that the positive thought will materialize in the world of events. The most successful people in the world are those who hold in mind the good of all concerned, including themselves..."

266: "We like to pretend that our innermost feelings are unknown to others, but are they? We are all connected to each other on the psychic, intuitive level; so, our feelings are read and known by others. We may not be consciously aware of it, but their behaviour toward us reveals they know our inner attitude and feelings toward them."

261: anger, affecting people & counter-anger
Guilt - unconscious wish for punishment - when feeling guilty about something in particular, the next interaction with the other person will frequently elicit a critical response from the other person; our low self-esteem is channeled back to us through others in the form of their invalidation of our life"

227: "...The quality and enjoyment of these activities increase. Most people are too exhausted to bring a really high quality into their experiences unless the negative programs opposing them have been resolved."

226-227:
"Repressed and suppressed feelings require counter-energy to keep them submerged. It takes energy to hold down our feelings. As these feelings are relinquished, the energy that had been holding down the negativity is now freed for constructive uses. Consequent to letting go, there is an increase in available energy for creativity, growth, work and interpersonal relationships..."

161: your perspective of God based on your level of consciousness

107 - I marked this for some reason

101:
"Remaining unconscious of guilt (repression) does not solve it. The guilt re-emerges in the form of self-punishment and through accidents, misfortune, loss of jobs, relationships, physical disease and sickness, tiredness, exhaustion, and the multiple ways the ingenious mind figures out how to bring about the loss of pleasure, joy and aliveness."

101: Guilt
"Guilt is really self-condemnation and self-invalidation of our worth and value as a human being"
"A part of our mind says we ought to be doing something else. We should be doing 'better'."
"In between the fear of living and the fear of dying is the guilt of the moment. We seek to escape it by remaining unaware of it through suppression, repression, projecting it onto others and escapism."

87: (fear) - on manifesting
law of consciousness: "What one holds in mind tends to manifest. Any thought which we consistently hold in mind and consistently give energy to will tend to come into our life according to the very form in which our mind has held it."

83-84: 'Where am I looking to get love rather than give it?' The more loving we are, the less vulnerable to grief and loss, and the less we need to seek attachments... when our internal joy comes from the pleasure of giving and loving, then we are really invulnerable to loss. When the source of happiness is found from within, we are immune to the losses of the world.'

"...The greater our attachment to that which is outside of ourselves, the greater is our overall level of fear and vulnerability to loss. We can ask ourselves why we feel so incomplete. 'Why am I so empty within myself that I have to search for solutions in the form of attachment and dependency on others?'
(2/2)

83: preventing grief
"Looking at our lives, identifying those areas of attachment, and asking ourselves: 'What internal needs are they satisfying? What feeling would come up if I were to lose them? How can my inner emotional life be balanced so as to decrease the extent, degree, and number of attachments on external objects and people?'
