NULLIFYING THE PAST

"Change your mind about your past, and you nullify its effects instantly." – Alan Cohen

The question is how does one change one's mind? With effort? With prayer? With determination? Turning it over to God? Going through therapy? Coming to an understanding that the experience was actually an opportunity to become awake, aware, compassionate? All or any combination of the above?

Past experiences do not have to be baggage that weighs you down. They can become stepping stones to better things if you want them too. But a stepping stone means you step upon it and advance to the next one. You don't put them in your pocket and then try to swim a deep river. ;)
