HOW TO GET RID OF THE UNPLEASANT PAST

In my previous article I told of the relativity of time, that realization allows to escape the needs and limitations that the common concept imposes therefore it turns useful to disintangle yourselves from the unpleasant past, or to keep alive the effects of past pleasant events.

You must always bear in mind that imagination is the only reality, the Creator of all, and since you always imagine in the present, it is now the only valid time. In your imagination you throw the seeds that will give as fruits events of their nature. Those seeds are your acceptances, namely your beliefs, and while they remain in your consciousness they continue to manifest themselves in your world with similar facts, maybe cyclical events such as: accidents, job loss, sickness, broken relationships, debts, insolvent clients, exams not passed, low grades, and so on, as well as positive occurrences like harmonious relationships, abundant business, money flowing, satisfied and satisfying customers, high marks, et cetera. Everything continues to live in your life only until you accept it as an accomplished fact and it's modified in your life only when you change it in your consciousness and this is for the following simple reason. By accepting an outcome you conformed yourselves to the state of being in that specific outcome and, since it's always your state of being, namely psychological state, to determine the nature of your physical experiences, only a change of your state of being can change its fruits. You can realize that yours is the choice to continue to be slaves of past unpleasant events with their related limitations or to rid yourselves of them and make a change for the better in your life.

The past is not fixed, nothing is immobile and hence immutable in this universe because everything is subject to man's consciousness, therefore there is not such a thing as  'forever' because consciousness is a flow in a continuous movement for it's dependent on Man's, consciously or unconsciously, imaginal activity. Your past, that is the facts of your past, are nothing more than your acceptance of them, your awareness of them. You created them through your imaginal activity and, failing to trace the link between the facts and your previous imaginal activity, when they occurred you accepted them. That's the power which is in your hands: as you created them, you can unmake them; as you accepted them, you can refuse to accept them, it is only a matter of will  from your part and then of action, but the only possible action is that of the mind because there is only one reality, one cause, one Creator and it's your imagination! It's the Alpha and the Omega, where everything begins and everything ends, the eternity in which everything exists, from which every thing comes and to which every thing returns.
Time on the outside is a facility for change because it allows consciousness to manifest itself in a serial manner in the visible but in reality everything is always initially established by man in his imagination in a present tense first person singular at the moment that a fact is accepted, therefore time on the outside is an illusion. Your past with its events and the meaning that you give them exists only within you, it is impossible to find a provable cause on the outside, the only provable origin that you can find is within yourselves and the way to believe it is through your own experience by using your imagination in a conscious way to change it, for this is foolishness to the rational mind but in front of a personal experience reason becomes silent. This is the law of liberty, the law that frees Man from any past, present and future condition and put him under his own will, therefore this is also the law of redemption because by it Man becomes his own judge and he rules over his world. My suggestion to those who are resenting past negative experiences, maybe who are also feeling to be their victims, is this: don't waste your time to regret, neither waste it in self-justification for that is the voice of hell (by paraphrasing William Blake), but remember that wearing the state of consciousness of the victim brings in your life more events in which you succumb. Now is always the right time for an inner change!
Test it, by your imagination you can maintain in your life the effects of past pleasant events, or break the recurrence of unpleasant ones and disintangle yourselves from their limitations by imagining and accepting them differently in order that they will give different fruits in your future, and through that experience you'll have proof of your own power and will no longer be subjugated to the external, neither to time.
