Who’s In Your Mental Space?

Although our experiences teach us about ourselves, we do not need to become our experiences or teachers. Whomever or whatever you identify with, you become. And with that, you have given someone access to your mental space.
The cycle of dark pain seeks others like itself to grow stronger. We interrupt the cycle of pain with the cycle of Light. We avoid and dismantle pain’s seductiveness by healing from the inside out and aligning with our True Self. We are not our experiences. What are we then? We are spirits in a human body.
We have internal programming that can transcend experiences, and we can call forth what we need when we need it.
I met many people along my earthly journey, and I focused on the characteristics I liked, including the two family members who misused my developing body. One of the family members has the gift of drawing. The other one has a sense of humor and an unwavering dedication to education. The family member who called us liars was a quiet observer.
I took what I liked, and I left the rest. I didn’t feel guilty about honing those characteristics that resonated with me.
We have the power to become who we want to be and can unite with the Truth within us at any time. We are creative beings who seek expression and joy. What I liked in others was already in me.
