Feeling The Negative Thoughts
I sent my Mom the video with John Bradshaw on Opera, about the affirmations for the baby self coming into the world. She left me a message saying that she does understand how my feelings affected me as a child, and knows I deal with a lot of pain because of it. She sounded so worn out and helpless. I had a bad vibe about it so I did not call her back. She never acknowledged the truth of it before, and now she's acting like she was always there. No thanks, she was not there and cannot make it all right now. Especially after I see how she changes her mind like a willow tree.
I especially like the concept that we can only be there for our child when we are real with our own. Otherwise, I will just replay my own programming from childhood in raising her. So I keep stopping and asking myself if I am being authentic with her. All feelings we experience of ourselves in our childhood stick with us, unless we acknowledge them, and they color how we see the world. It is a lifelong process to fix it.
Ralph Smart said today in a video about how to deal with negative thoughts, that all feelings are important, negative or positive. If we try to shut out the negative, we experience extremes of duality and we do not know how to deal with the growing negative emotions.
