The path of enlightenment has brought you to a place of self-discovery. Old wounds are re-opening as a way of transforming pent-up energies. They are now being transformed into acceptance and peace for tomorrow. If you had a barrel of molasses, where someone poured oats into the barrel, that clean-up job would be no fun what-so-ever. Your ‘stuff’ from the past is no different; it takes time to clean out the layers of sticky messes you once found yourself in. Don’t be afraid, the past is in the past. However, it’s important to take inventory and responsibility for what is yours and what isn’t. Let the rest go.
