Greetings All, The Words that have been projected to me have been soothing. The Love I feel is tremendous. Based on the sound advice presented, I have gone "inside" and found the memories of those moments when I was met by negativity. Now having a means of understanding the nature of emotions and more importantly knowing that I can control those emotions, I have changed those emotions. Before I sought to "Know", I allowed those moments to justify my own negative thoughts about others. After beginning my pilgrimage, I sought comfort on the inside, the words/acts of others could not affect me. Today, I remain Master of Self, but I now choose to willingly project divine, compassionate, unconditional Love and Peace to any and all who have knowingly or unknowingly hurt me. I thank you all for the guidance, wisdom, and the sharing. Peace and Compassion, Kokayi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
