The following text is to help you remove that particular thorn, that each of you are putting up with, in your own Life.
By now we have understood how to deal with thoughts without letting ourselves be either overwhelmed or disheartened.
NOW, we wish to remove certain thoughts, because sometimes there are situations that we carry within ourselves for far too long, until they become part of us: we see ourselves only through those thoughts, those events that have left an indelible mark on our Life.

NOW we will all transfer ourselves to the seashore, we will sit in a circle and with determination, decide to improve our Life, and to face the future in a different way.
We are sitting in a circle holding hands. NOW, we put some wood in the center of the circle, and light a fire, it will illuminate us, and we can use it to burn the thoughts that we don’t like.
This time, we won’t chase them away or let them into our minds, but with determination, we will take them and throw them into the fire. We are tired of being conditioned by our problem, and we are fed up of always thinking about the same thing.
Let’s take what is bothering us, and throw it in the fire, watching it while it burns, we must be sure that it is destroyed.
The fire is there, it is burning without problems, it is burning that part of us, that up to now, has always conditioned us.
Someone would like to get that part back, he feels naked without that problem, he identified himself with it, now he is without a shield, a justification, because NOW, that problem has been removed, we are no longer victims, we don’t have to put up with it any more: just with one act of will power we have freed ourselves of the problem.
It is no use thinking that the problem had been there for so long that it almost kept you company……………….
It was not good company, because it was a negative influence in your Life.
We are stronger now without the problem, but more fragile because we are missing something.
There is nothing left, only the ashes, the fire has burned up everything. Even if we wanted to, we cannot get the problem back.
It is only the Mind that wants to recreate it, insinuating thoughts that keep on saying that we should have that problem still. We cannot be so superficial to have forgotten even for a second, all the suffering we went through before…
How should we reply to this ominous Mind?
That you have no intention of suffering again, that you accepted the pain then, but it is over now, and this is your decision.
Do not leave the beach, you could lose your footing because you are not as sure of yourself as when you first got here. This is because, each person with a problem also had a role, and maybe hid yourself behind it, you could play the victim and talk about it; now that the fire has destroyed it all, you feel naked, but your spirits are lightened.
During the following days, remember that you have eliminated the problem, not because you are superficial, but simply because you have decided to be wise, and if after such a long time, the situation was not resolved and was only a source of suffering, then you really did not need it any more.
Do not think it is difficult: they are only Mind traps, tricks of the personality that make you say” What has been, cannot be cancelled in a second” Oh but it can! It can.
When love for ourselves takes over, everything that takes away our serenity, must go.
Love is a very powerful force, it is a vibration that includes all the other vibrations, and when we want to love ourselves, we are able to remove from our Life, everything that makes us suffer.
If the problem is old, if the situation has gone on for a long time, look on it as an old rag, full of spider webs, that exists only because you continue to recognize and identify yourselves with it.
Now it is destroyed by the fire, even the spiderwebs have been burned, nothing is left.
You have turned your back on the problem, you are leaving with the certainty that the force that sustained you all those years with the problem, is still there, and will NOW help you to live better, with great determination, making you aware that you have overcome the problem that caused you such suffering.
I say Force, not stubbornness, as sometimes we hang on to thoughts because we like to play the victim and look for sympathy from others, we feel interesting if we have problems to talk about. This is stubbornness, while Force helps us to get through problems, and put up with them, it will also give us the courage to eliminate them, then guide us towards a Life without the problem we have burned in the fire.
It’s gone. Remember, but don’t talk about it, see it as something in the past because NOW it is destroyed, so it is useless to search for it: there is nothing to find.
NOW, a little unsteady, feeling rather dreamy, but definitely with lightened spirits without your problem, go towards Life.
