When we smash thru the illusion of thoughts and accept them as just thoughts offering love and forgiveness to all of them it doesn't mean that we are fine and dandy with all of those things that haunt us. Nothing could be further from the truth. When we break thru the veil of illusion and see whats really there we find that we were lost and caught up in delusional thinking. The same holds true for those that harmed us, they may have been even sicker than we were and even more caught up in the dream world of such thinking.
If you think about it, when you see thru a con artist and know he's selling you snake oil you can no longer be fooled by his seduction. Isn't our mind and thought process much like that?[/QUOTE]
That is well put. Many of us have been so hurt we really do have to smash through. It is something we can not do when we are drinking. And it is something we must do when we stop, so we can heal. Thank you Backtosquareone.
