22 - Eat, Don’t Hate!
There are so many things we don’t like, we reject or even hate outright.
Whenever we do that, we automatically create further shields and barriers
between us and that which we don’t like – yet often the very things we most
reject are the ones we really need the most.
A wonderful story comes from a lady author, who was most bitter and disappointed
because she could not find a publisher for her works, no matter how hard and
long she’d tried, for many, many years.
She had attended an EmoTrance seminar and learned about energy, how that relates
to our emotions and one day, on a visit to a bookshop in her home town, she
became aware just how deeply that bitter pain of envy, jealousy and
disappointment had taken hold of her as she passed the shelves with the “Top Ten
Bestsellers”.
“I realised that I would have tried to deny these feelings, try and push them
back because to be so jealous of other people’s successes is a serious character
flaw and I don’t want to be someone who is like that.
“But this time, I faced the truth of it, let myself really feel it and admitted
to myself, yes, I’m so bitterly envious, I could scream and cry and tear the
whole shelf off the wall!
“I stood there for at least ten minutes, my hands on my heart, and thought over
and over again, it’s only an energy, that’s only my old wounds, I want to heal
that, I want to be free of all that pain and jealousy and hatred and envy, I am
better than that!
“Slowly, slowly the knot in my chest began to soften up and I could feel the
energy starting to move. And as it did, I could see the books on the shelf more
clearly, it was as though the colours on a TV had been turned up, they were just
books and I thought, wait for it, my friends, my colleagues, my fellow authors –
one day I will stand here, and one of MY books will be on this shelf, right next
to yours!
“And that felt so fantastic, I let the energy of the bestsellers run into me,
get a taste of that, that’s what I want to write, that’s who I want to be, and I
couldn’t get wait to get home to start writing something fresh, something new. I
know already and with all my heart, this time, I am going to make it, I’m going
to find a publisher and I WILL be successful!”
