It is impossible to let go of any painful thought or troubling feeling until you see the parts of yourself that are secretly clinging to it.

Classroom Talk: 3/31/2019 - The truth that sets us free -- but not until we see the fact of it -- is that we are never powerless; our first, and ultimately greatest limitation is that we don't know what real power is... let alone how to enter into its stream.

Part 1 Giving your mind over to any thought that wants you to revisit something painful in your past is like taking your dog for a walk and, before you make it back home, finding yourself on the leash.
