hey people,


many of you have heard before the idea that one can change one's past in various ways -- through perception changes, through pov changes, through understanding/accepting it, etc, but little did i know how much one can change one's present by changing one's past until my online friend shared with me a diamond of a gem of a bit of wisdom, so now i am sharing it with you.


my friend, i'll call her "swc" to protect her privacy, had a bad childhood, a really bad one. her adult life was defined by her bad childhood and her constant reference to it as a "bad childhood". she finally got fed up with all the negative, draining drama that was happening in her adult life, so she decided to do all the hard work in changing her view of her childhood and to cherish the diamonds in the rough good parts of her childhood and to define her childhood primarily through those good parts of her childhood.


she did not denigrate, nor ignore her bad/negative parts of her childhood; she just simply focused on the good parts of her childhood and used that re-definition to re-define and re-shape her adulthood, so that took a lot of hard work in re-thinking her own thinking of her own self. she accepted the negative parts of her childhood, but simply did not use those bad parts to define her own being-ness now.


then, sometime last year, she met a psychic who proceeded to tell her that she had a good childhood and swc said "um, no, i had a bad childhood", but the psychic was reading from swc's current energy signature and it literally said "good childhood". the psychic insisted that she had a good childhood -- the energy signature of the "good childhood" was so strong that even a psychic was reading that and not getting it that swc really had a predominantly bad childhood. they actually were having a debate on this topic, to swc's huge surprise.


so, in other words, swc's current energy signature had changed, thanks to her changing her pov of her "bad" childhood past.


so, it is clear to me that, if you do the hard work of really changing your past by focusing on the things/events that define the part of who you really are, then you'd be able to change your current energy signature -- and your future -- in positive, fantastic ways that few of us had even really dared to imagine.

the older you get the harder it is to change your.. ego gets constructed or molded over the top of those first impressions of self in an attempt to protect ones self which in effect stops healing from taking place its a hell of a system that we are under.

[mods suggestion for conundrum: try some of the meditation offered? all is your choice of course]

whenever i think of something in my past that am.. lets say "unimpressed" with, i think back to a few things. one, we always have a choice, i made that choice and therefore it is a part of me. so i need to be able to accept that.

second, and more important, everything happens for a reason. everything that has happened in everyone's lives, we have chosen to live through these experiences to gain knowledge and experience. so even though some thoughts may be unpleasant, they taught us a lesson. and if we are learning, how can we possibly look at any experience as a bad one?

nice! and good for swc! i think i have heard cognitive behavioral therapy can help to reprogram yourself like that.

i think i have experienced something like this before. i remember when i ran into my girlfriend i had in high school and it was sooooo weird. it's like i never knew her. like this person was a total stranger. i just wasn't the same person at all. and when i hung out with her a bit it was like all the old foo came rushing back to me.

i have felt before that my life is like broken up into several different foo's.

i don't know if that is the same thing but it is great to know that this sort of thing is possible and know that someone has been able to accomplish it.

very uplifting, thank you.

to conundrum:

i think it is exactly the way you say it is. but i think it is still possible to open yourself back up. i know it is hard. but it can be done and it is sooo worth it. trust me.

i very much agree. even the 'bad' experiences, have helped shape who we are today. i would not get rid of them.

but i do agree that i would dispel any remaining negativity caused by them, and not let them rule my life. i dont believe in paying forever for past mistakes, when you have already learned that lesson.

foo's... lol
