It's Time to Just Let ... It... Go!

We have programmed in our DNA something called cell memory. We carry with us, even though we don't consciously realize it, the memories of our ancestors, especially if something was very traumatic. And as we know, over the course of history, there has been many traumatic events. So there is a need to go deep into our cells and release all those memories, heal them and transform them. If we do this we can actually cause our DNA to evolve. We will no longer pass on our past traumas and pain and hatred to our children and their children. If those traumatic memories are released and transformed, then only the good stuff will be passed on in our DNA and the world will evolve into love.

This cell memory keeps the hate and pain, the fear, the racism and the intolerance alive because even though three generations may have passed who didn't actually live through the horrors of slavery or war or the holocaust, etcetera . . . the DNA remembers. Instinctively we remember the pain. Remembering this pain may cause a person to hate simply by noticing someone's appearance. What happens next? Then that hate will cause some sort of vengeance. The vengeance may not be something big. It could be something small like refusing to yield space in a grocery store aisle. Large or small, that vengeance will cause more pain and thus more hatred and the cycle continues. A continuous cycle of pain, hatred, violence, revenge and more hatred. The cycle must stop. Mankind must evolve.

So how can we transform these cells in our bodies? How can we let go of old pain and stop the hatred? It's actually an easy task that takes mere seconds and yet, it is one of the hardest things humans can do.

It is forgiveness.

Oh, yes, humans certainly can hold a grudge. I mean, we are real hardasses. We are proud and stubborn and we demand retribution. When we are faced with great pain, we have choices on how to handle it. Most of us immediately want revenge. We crave it. We must have it.

Even our laws reflect our need for revenge. It used to be that when someone made a mistake, like a car accident or losing their child in a department store or leaving the rake in the yard, it was just... a mistake. Now, it is reason to file suit, take their child away or put them in jail. Why? Because when we hear of these little news items it makes us feel bad, it makes us hurt and for that we want revenge. We think making the people who've made mistakes hurt will stop the hurt we feel. Now, I'm not referring to those who are negligent in their driving or their parenting. I thoroughly believe that we all must be responsible for our actions and accept the consequences of those actions. I'm speaking of the majority who have merely made a mistake or an error in judgement. If their err in judgement makes us feel bad, then we want to make them feel bad and so, we have passed laws to help us get our revenge.

Those laws, however, are another entire story and I use them here merely as an illustration. There is a much bigger picture here, like race against race and country against country. One does the hurting, the other wants revenge. The other gets hurt and now they want revenge. It's a vicious cycle. As long as we continue to seek revenge, humankind will remain stuck in hatred and pain and the mire of unconsciousness, in other words, in the dark. That just won't work well for our future. However, on the bright side, there are some people who are evolving, who are beginning to awaken, who want to put a stop to the madness. They are realizing the power of forgiveness. Forgiveness and Vengeance'" two sides of the same coin.

Through forgiveness we can resolve cell memory. Like I said earlier, it's so easy and yet so difficult. It can be done in seconds, yet it's so hard to do. Forgive. That doesn't mean you have to forget. History, true history, is always something to learn from so that we can make sure certain things never... happen... again. So, don't forget. However, it is time to forgive. In other words, LET IT GO, ALREADY! I don't ask this hard thing, this forgiveness, for the sake of those who have harmed you. I don't ask it for those who have been your enemies nor for the enemies of your ancestors. I ask you to do this for YOU, for yourselves and for the world so that both can move forward into the light. It is the only way to evolve and move forward. There is no light when there is hatred, pain, violence and of course'" intolerance.

When you are mired in pain and hatred, you are literally chained with dark strands. These strands cloud your thinking, and work with your ego to keep you in the dark. Your ego believes you are safe there, in the dark, where you are comfortable, where you are used to being. Your ego is afraid of the light for it will change your world. And then what? You will have to realize and admit that things are not really as they seem and that is a scary thing. So, thinking to protect you, the ego urges you to stay in the comfort of what you've always known, to stay in the dark. Yet the light is the only way to feel true joy and to attain your fondest desires. Therefore, we must forgive those horrors that have been done to us and to our ancestors and we must do this for our OWN sakes. We must rip ourselves free of the dark strands and stand in a blissful, enlightened state of being.
