   I wonder how many people are unaware of holding onto resentments? 

                I see a lot of angry people, and hear alot of them denying it...

I see a lot of angry people, and hear alot of them denying it...

In personal & addiction recovery programs, resentment is known to be deadly, and must be dealt with positively to move on. I see it as cunning & powerful as any addiction and highly toxic. But I need to be convinced of that to let it go. I have seen anger consume people, but I cant convince anyone of that. They must find that truth in their own reflection, maybe writing, & more. If one looks truthfully, the pain of carrying anger must convince one of its toxicity and fruitlessness.

 All the spiritual books say anger is deadly. The remedy is the honest reflection, and the willingness to let it go - I need a Higher Power for that.

Spirit can give me that, I cant do it without help.

Denial: A Killing Disease      

  Most of us are much more attached to our ideas and opinions than to any person or thing— but that can and does harm us. Denial is a hidden enemy attacks under cover of what is accepted or even seen as "right" & good, normal & natural...

   ...often involve the turning away from truth... For example, not facing our own weaknesses or our life situation honestly keeps us more deeply wrapped in our behaviors & difficulties, adding to them .Truth is the only way out.
      Whatever we tell ourselves that helps to shut out truth does nothing but cause harm, for to turn away from truth is deadly. Tests and trials often come to us to point us back to truths we have missed or turned away from in the paths of our lives. If there is something we need to see, we ourselves— the spirit part of us— can actually draw difficulties to us until we become humbled enough to be willing to see.Many who conform to accepted standards, and many who don’t conform may pride themselves on their own clear & independent thinking, but beware, for denial is a master of illusion, hiding well its shape....

   I agree with Andrew that the world is going nuts with all the disunity & materialism. That’s why I’m active in promoting Unity & Spirituality (by whatever name). They are the vital remedies needed. My inspiration is from the Baha'i and all the great faiths & Prophets of the world. 

Andrew's interest in investigating into truth was so powerful that he was willing to put his own life radically into it, really trying & learning all he could on each faith with sll his heart for the 30 days. The world needs more of that? Not just believing but following and really giving heart to it, to me that is the way to know most deeply.

It's easy to judge something from the outside, but it is what's INSIDE that really counts!

Many Blessings to Andrew & the truth- seekers of the world!
