Feelings Buried Alive Never Die
by Karol K. TrumanTruman writes: "In the 90's self-examination of feelings and emotions began receiving a focus that is contributing to an emotional cleansing and healing of major proportions. At long last, humankind's willingness to retreat from denial, to own the source of their problems, accept responsibility for them and become accountable for the feelings and thoughts which created them, is establishing an energy that is opening the channels for bringing the inner peace people are so desperately seeking. People everywhere are questioning, seeking, and striving to understand what makes them tick. They want to find the cause of their suffering, their pain, and their problems. They also want to learn how to alleviate these problems and heal themselves. Perhaps what we have not comprehended before, is that our experiences in life are actually our own state of mind being projected outward. When we have a state of mind that indicates inner peace, joy, love and well-being--then peace, joy, love and well-being is what we naturally project outward and, consequently, these positive states of mind bring us positive experiences."
