A practitioner asks: “Can Creator offer advice or a tutorial on what to do and how to best manage the fear and doubt and regret in our minds while growing and becoming stronger from what we have experienced, especially with the revelations and changes, and hopefully healing, that is coming soon? As events come to pass, I imagine that a lot of people will be feeling similar to how I feel now.” What is Creator’s perspective?

As we have said, this is a common reaction along the way from being on a healing journey. We would say the main thing to hold in mind is that the pain you feel causing you to judge yourself is simply an inevitable symptom of being a work in progress. The extent to which you are uncomfortable with who you were, is a measure of your insight and discernment and the goals you now see as worthwhile and needed to become something more and have a more fulfilling life in the bargain. Those are strengths and soul attributes serving you well. If you think of these as growing pains, you will realize this is a transient phenomenon, kind of like a mile marker that is only showing you that you are not there yet in reaching your ultimate potential. But you are also on your way, because you know that more is better, and can be achieved, ultimately. That achievement will be its own reward and will eventually become the perfect antidote to resolving things like guilt and regret and the many emotions that serve as reminders of your struggle to surmount the challenging circumstances you faced. One day, that sum total of pain and suffering will be a measure of the badge of honor you will wear in coming out on top.
