Therefore, they continue to produce, throughout, the same kind of experiences.<\/p>\n<p>When a person does not take responsibility for his actions, he experiences a certain kind of blindness.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t notice that in fact he is living in the dark. He lives with pain that has been carrying with him &#8211; unable to release it.<\/p>\n<p>It all depends on the way you interpret what happens to you &#8211; in essence, you are &#8220;inviting&#8221; the experiences to come to you.<\/p>\n<p>You can hate everyone and blame everyone for the darkness that you have created.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s just like applying a band-aid to settle your wound &#8211; all the disorders originating in pain and darkness &#8211; the wound will not heal and continue bleeding.<\/p>\n<p>One&#8217;s inability to break free from the symptom &#8211; the very reason the disconnection from the light has occurred &#8211; causing him to remain in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, he puts the blame on everyone but himself.<\/p>\n<p>All the interruptions I am experiencing are the result of being disconnected from the Light, from Source, from who I really am.<\/p>\n<p>One must realize, that the current problems he is experiencing, are in fact a chronology of things he had not yet addressed.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t deal with the real problem &#8211; you will continue chasing your own tail.<\/p>\n<p>The solution lies in awareness &#8211; identify the response &#8211; do not be tempted to blame &#8216;the situation&#8217; or another person, for being the cause of your pain and discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>Focus deeply inside and find which emotion it was that triggered you &#8211; what brought you to respond as you did.<\/p>\n<p>Search inwardly until you find the first time you felt that same emotion.<\/p>\n<p>When doing this inner search, often what is revealed to us, is an emotion that comes from an old pain. Possibly with someone in our past.<\/p>\n<p>If we are not aware of that emotion\/old pain, and we don&#8217;t treat the root of the problem, throughout our lives we project our pain on every person who pushes the same buttons.<\/p>\n<p>Other people are never the problem &#8211; they are the catalyst that brings things to the surface.<\/p>\n<p>No one can awaken something in us, that has not been there before.<\/p>\n<p>Once you connect to your own darkness, deal with it and inject it with Light, suddenly the problem disappears, and with it all your undesired future responses.<\/p>\n<p>Right here is the work; we are to turn every dark occurrence into a bright light in our lives &#8211; we had turned the bitter to sweet, when taking responsibility for our thoughts and feelings, and struggle bravely, facing the real problem.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, who created the darkness?
