I let it go too. I let go of addiction to the emotion of anger.
Just the other day, dear Brook, a thought came to me: Be a light unto yourself.

Closing Circles
by Paulo Coelho
One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.
Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened.
You can tell yourself you won’t take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that. But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister.
Everyone is finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill.
Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away.
That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home.
Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them.
Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood.
Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.
Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the “ideal moment.”
Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back.
Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need.
This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.
Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life.
Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust.
Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.

BRIAN ENO - Thursday Afternoon (1985) (1:00:51)
This is an absolute masterpiece & probably the best ambient music ever made.
'Thursday Afternoon' was among one of the very first CDs I bought - somewhere around 1989.
For the past 21 years I play this CD at least 10-15 times a year.
Please take the time to enjoy this magical soundscape.
(BTW; did you know that you can play YouTube music vids, while reading the forum posts in another window at the same time?)

No one is coming to save us from ourselves.
We are each endowed with the capacity to be responsible for the quality our experience. However, until consciously impacted with our compassionate awareness, our unintegrated fear, anger, and grief continues to function as the unconscious causal point of our outer disharmony, discomfort, disease, and delusion. By continuing to suppress and sedate our unintegrated emotional condition - and instead allowing ourselves to be emotionally carried and provoked by anyone or anything - we remain a species that is inauthentic, out of integrity, and lacking in the emotional capacity to intimately contain an awareness of what we are or what God is for us. Only by consciously developing our capacity to feel are we delivered beyond this predicament.
Blaming others for the quality of our life experience is futile.
Victim and victor mentality is denial and delusion. Mounting earthly chaos and increasing outer human drama is a deliberately initiated and unfolding planetary cleanse intended to address our inauthentic, unconscious, and programmed approach to living. All outer conflict triggering us emotionally in an uncomfortable way reflects our states of unintegrated inner turmoil. Our only choice now is between engaging reactively in outer drama, or allowing the play of outer drama to facilitate us into a responsive and compassionate awakening to, and integration of, our inner turmoil.
The present moment is valid - entering it consciously is a portal into authenticity, integrity, and intimacy.
Present moment awareness is "being fully present within each unfolding moment just as it is - without interference - without binding it with the resonance of fear, anger, and grief arising from our unintegrated past". Only when we are present are we vulnerable to receiving, and therefore able to contain, each unfolding encounter as a divinely ordained opportunity to intimately explore the profound possibilities of our humanity. Entering the moment fully requires a behavioral transformation - a shift from unconscious reactivity into deliberate responsibility. This transformation is only authentically accomplished through integrating the underlying imprinted emotional signatures that consistently distract us from being present. No one can accomplish this on our behalf.
This unfolding moment in our human evolution is not "The End Times" - it is the invitation to "end living in a time-based paradigm" so we may real eyes peace.
Our task is not to "make peace on earth". Such an intent is born of perceptual delusion. Our evolutionary task is to accomplish the capacity "to real eyes peace that is already given" while we are here. When we develop the capacity to authentically real eyes peace - we radiate this resonance throughout our experience. Authentic peace is felt. We are only at peace when we truly feel at peace. Peace is only realized through responsively awakening to, and hence fully entering, the felt-resonance of this unfolding moment. If we cannot feel the peace that is already given, it is because our unintegrated fear, anger, and grief is distorting our felt-perception. Only by consciously integrating our imprinted fear, anger, and grief do we reawaken our felt-perception and open ourselves to the naturally peaceful resonance of the heart.

The adamantine particles - the sacred magnetic heart by mudra
http://projectavalon.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18436
The words “Adamantine Particles” are used for the first time in English in Glenda Green’s book “Love without End” published in 1998. However, the word “Adamantine” has been around for thousands of years.
In the Buddhist tradition we can find one of the first references to this word; in Sanskrit “Vajra” means Adamantine, and "Vajradhatu" is a Sanskrit word which means "adamantine sphere”. But perhaps, the most important finding was that the word “Vajrasattva” means “the Adamantine Being” who represents the Buddha of purification and healing.
The Vajrasattva Meditation is a special practice recommended by Vajrayana Buddhism to their practitioners who wish to cleanse themselves from impurities accumulated and caused by negative feelings, thoughts, words and actions.
In English the word Adamantine means “something extremely hard or unyielding”, in fact “adamant.” It is also an adjective to qualify something as “hard and brilliant as a diamond”. The term particle is used in the context of subatomic particles, thus adamantine particles are subatomic in size and nature.
The Adamantine particles form all elements of the Universe; in other words, they are the smallest indivisible particles that assemble the atoms of all original substances like oxygen, nitrogen, iron; therefore, all that is, including our bodies.
We can say that “Adamantine particles” mean “pure particles”, not combined with anything; particles so pure, small and simple that cannot be divided and therefore are, and represent, an “absolute”. They are one of the constants of the universe.
Adamantine particles are fundamental particles, Adamantine particles are fundamental particles of matter and energy that are not yet properly identified by scientists; most probably, quantum physicists have already discovered these particles and have named them differently; it is also quite possible that our current scientific approach does not allow them to fully understand its characteristics.
Adamantine particles are crystal-like particles of infinity, which contain stored potential to manifest any original substance or element. It can also be said that adamantine particles are encoded with a kind of “universal DNA” that allows them to form any possible type of atom.
The power of Love
Adamantine particles require “power” to build the other particles and atoms. There is, however, only one type of energy (not energy generated by friction as we know in 3D) that is compatible with them. This energy is the magnetic power of Love, which pervades the Universe in the form of Universal Life Force. Love is not only the most beautiful feeling, it also is the power which ignites and directs adamantine particles into manifestation.
We can also call Love and its magnetic power, Potential; pure and infinite potential to command the adamantine particles to form infinite numbers of forms of expression of such potential. Love is the ultimate force in the Universe; it holds every galaxy, star and planet in its place. In the presence of Love, patterns of beauty, perfection, harmony and efficiency manifest spontaneously.

Dimensions of Awareness of the Magnetic Heart
Each attribute corresponds to one of the concentric spheres of the artistic representation of the Sacred Magnetic Heart.
Zero Point is at the center of the Magnetic Heart. This is the spark of God. It is our point of Infinite potential, stillness, simultaneity and absolute silence. It can be experienced as our sacred place of synchronicity with the Creator’s Will.
Unity is a state of consciousness where judgment is eliminated and linear polarities no longer exist. When achieving this awareness, o ne understands that The All That Is – Is o ne.
Love is the highest power in the Universe and the source of primary magnetism. From this awareness, o ne can experience Love as the ultimate source of power, which holds All That Is in its place within the Universe. The mind registers Love as the most beautiful feeling.
Life is the combination of Unity and Love in perfect harmony, manifesting the Life Force or God’s Will, which permeates throughout creation.
Respect is the awareness that honors and directs the Life Force into harmonious and productive purpose.
Honesty is the awareness through which o ne sees o neself as Love, free from all fear; therefore, as o ne with the Source of All That Is. Honesty allows o ne’s heart to activate the innocent perception of reality as a manifestation of the Creator.
Justice is an equalizing awareness that allows o ne to balance what o ne gives to and receives from the Universe.
Kindness is the awareness of the perfect understanding of the true potential of all life. This frequency allows o ne to overcome the illusion of duality and separateness.
Compassion is the consciousness of Mastery. It is the combination of all Sacred Magnetic Heart dimensions of awareness that radiate outward from the concentric circles as high awareness.

Essentially we are all one. The feeling of our being otherwise is due to ignorance. Soul desires consciousness to know itself, but in its progress towards this Goal which it cannot realize independently of creation, it must undergo the experience which it gathers as the individualized ego and which is all imagination. Thus it is faced at the outset with ignorance instead of Knowledge.
Dual forms and illusionary creations are the outcome of ignorance: birth and death, happiness and misery, virtue and sin, good and bad – all are equally the manifestation of this same ignorance. You were never born and will never die; you never suffered and will never suffer; you ever were and ever will be, as separateness exists only in imagination.
Soul undergoes experience through innumerable forms such as being kind and beggar, rich and poor, tall and short, strong and weak, beautiful and ugly, of killing and being killed. All these experiences must transpire as long as the soul, though it is one in reality and undivided, imagines separateness in itself. When soul is bereft of the impressions of these illusionary experiences it becomes naked as in its origin, to become now fully conscious of its unity with the Over-soul which is One, Indivisible, Real and Infinite.
The soul becomes free of the binding of impressions through various paths. And Love is the most important of these
paths leading to the realization of God. Through this love, the Soul becomes entirely absorbed in God, ultimately forgetting itself completely. It is then that all of a sudden Knowledge comes as swiftly as the lightning bolt which burns to ashes all that it falls upon.
This Knowledge uproots illusions, doubts and worries, and apparent sufferings are instantaneously replaced by everlasting peace and eternal bliss which is the Goal of all existence. Soul now free from its illusions, realizes its Original Unity of Being.
Let us not hope, because this Knowledge is beyond hoping and wanting. Let us not reason, because this Knowledge
cannot be comprehended or thought of. Let us not doubt, because this Knowledge is the certainty of certainties. Let us not live the life of the senses, because the lusty, greedy, false, impure mind cannot reach this Knowledge. Let us love God as the Soul of our Souls and in the height of this Love lies this Knowledge.

Let ‘I cannot’ be eradicated from your vocabulary. Time is gliding away swiftly:
For a few days only lasts this reunion with friends and kinsmen. Gather up your possessions, brother, no one accompanies you on your final journey.
***********
Man may find himself in all kinds of surroundings, yet he must not allow himself to be driven hither and thither helplessly under their influence. It is his duty under all circumstances to preserve his individuality and strength of character intact. To drift with the current is easy enough, but to stand firm as a rock is difficult. He who is able to do this will keep his head without wavering even among a dozen people of different points of view and lines of approach. This surely is the attitude that befits a human being.
***********
Look, in order to pluck a rose one has to put one’s hand into the midst of thorns. But if the rose- is a person’s aim and he has a keen desire to pluck it, he will not refrain from doing so for fear of being pricked. Moreover, the Great Mother arranges whatever as necessary for each one .She certainly knows the real need of every individual. If one has at least this much faith, there is no reason at all to feel distressed.
***********
Try your utmost never to succumb to anyone’s influence. In order to become firm, calm, deeply serious, full of courage, with one’s personality wholly intact, pure and holy out of one’s own strength, one has to be centred in God.
