It’s all happiness to know that anything that was horrific in the past is gone. It’s logical. Yeah, we tend to cling to evil in memories and perceived injustices that others must pay for.
It’s the ego that clings to the illusion that the past is still now because it serves a purpose. The past is a place to lay blame for our pain and disappointments. For our wounded self-esteem.
The ego seeks retribution for offenses. Seeks vengeance. And even though we want to place blame on someone else, it returns to us as guilt. And because of guilt, inner condemnation, the ego demands vengeance on ourselves!
Yet how could we experience guilt without our own alliance with the past and with the ego?
How do we escape this vicious cycle?
These are questions we can ask ourselves to begin to be conscious and sane, instead of circling in the past, bringing it to the present with guilt and repeated thought patterns. 
In the present moment, in the Silence, we can recognize our freedom and Inner beauty. We need only make a small effort, spiritual intent to pause, take a deep breath, come to the moment mentally and be silent.
And a wave of gratitude can lift us into a higher level of consciousness and energies that brings us more freedom from the illusions of the ego. And we are happier.
This tiny step in our attitude and mental intent for Silence in the moment offers freedom. And the Great Law helps us expand and you can actually feel Universal Life Energy physically and/or mentally. You are communicating with The Universe!
In that instance is peace and love. The Truth is constantly now.
In the hope that you find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

If you think your life sucks at times, then it does. What most people don’t realize is that it sucks because we make it that way!
Our ego loves what is familiar and will keep coming back to the same emotions, even if they feel bad! Your emotions amply your thoughts, radiating out as your personality, body, and surrounding life conditions – in other words your reality.
You can lose a sense of your True Self and soul because of identification with illusionary feelings. The ego tries to overcome the confusion and emotional pain, by doing a lot of thinking about it, always trying to solve a problem it never can.
In this series we will discuss why your emotions shape your life, how to identify and benefit even by negative emotions, and how to center your emotional power for positive change.
Emotions manifest physically
It’s usually obvious when someone is angry. You may not actually see steam come out of their ears but: the rational part of the brain shuts down, the body tenses (tightening in the shoulders and chest), stress related hormones are released (such as adrenaline and cortisol), and the face gets red when the cardiovascular responses kick in.
Emotions release hormones related to the limbic system and chemicals in the brain and body …… and we can become addicted to these even if if they feel bad to us! We may not always be acutely aware of the emotions and physiological release of chemicals in our bodies, yet eventually we get a feeling. Our feelings, emotions, and attitudes are so tied together that we usually use these terms interchangeably.
Bodily Effects of Your Emotions
Your emotions can manifest in your life in precarious ways. People with an irritable disposition are 3 times more likely to have a heart attack than people who are less prone to temper tantrums. Plus, over time such high stress situations like anger can hamper the immune system, resulting in any number of illnesses.
Positive emotions like delight and gratitude also manifest in the body, reversing the effects of negative emotions, harmonizing and healing it. When you experience joy and love: the body relaxes, happiness chemicals are released (such as dopamine, oxytocin or endorphins) and sent to your heart.
Of course, matters of the heart are involved! We attract what we feel through our heart, the seat of Love and Magnetic Center of Attraction.
In those people who feel deep, abiding love there is a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, greater functioning of the immune system, and calmer, clearer thinking.
You Attract What You Feel – The Law of Attraction
Circling in negative thoughts about your feelings amplify them! You attract the same energy that you think about and feelbecause of the Law of Attraction (Love). You get what you put out there in the Universe.
So if you have a grumpy disposition then you attract more negative, low-frequency conditions, even if that is not what you desire.
The Law of Karma
The Law of Attraction and The Law of Karma, or Cause and Effect, work together. If you evaluate a situation negatively with dark thoughts and emotions you will be very tempted to act upon it, especially if you are unconscious of your motivation.
The Law of Karma is a compassionate universal law that works to help us get back to our natural state of harmony. You will have to face the same or similar life situation over and over again until you respond from a place of sincere love, consistently.
Emotional Empowerment
Thoughts are empowered to manifest physically as emotions and shape our physical reality; first, in our body, then our surroundings, then others around us and indeed the world.
Why do they have such power?
Because our emotions are empowered by our Soul! And, the dominating character of our Soul is Love. Love is our natural condition, but when Love is perverted in the subconscious ego by fearful thinking itt causes us, each of us, to suffer.
In the next study we will discuss simple ways to change your reality even when you are tempted by negative emotions!
