Dwelling in Past Patterns

We are drawing on the compassionate and timeless wisdom of The Gabriel Messages to provide insight and inspiration that we can apply every day of our lives.

For this week, the message from Archangel Gabriel talks about accepting the choices we made in the past with neutrality and moving on.

 The Gabriel Message Card for this Week   
Do not allow yourself to dwell in past patterns.
Simply accept those choices and move ahead.
 
Does it seem like all your old patterns are in your face right now?

I certainly have noticed this phenomena in the past two months especially. It seems we are being given a chance to clear the way for some healthy new choices.

What I also have noticed is that if I don't give these old patterns any juice when they show up, they go away very quickly. In fact, they disappear without my being able to remember what it was that felt so in my face a moment before.

No, I don't think it is just my advanced age. I am hearing about this forgetfulness phenomena from many people of all ages and from teachers I respect as well. When we are suddenly aware of old patterns, they are actually in the process of leaving our consciousness. They won't stay unless we grab hold of them with our emotions. We really can let go of memories and patterns from the past much faster nowadays. It has to do with the emotional energy we apply to that memory and doing our best to look at the uncomfortable stuff with much more neutrality than ever before.

Emotions have a strong magnetic resonance, which means they will attract situations to you with the same vibration. The emotions from the past have no bearing on our present time unless we choose to bring them into our world. There is a very fast manifestation process going on now between our strong feelings and what we experience in our lives.

Unless we want to repeat the past, it is exceptionally important that we not bring the old baggage into these new times. We have a chance to experience a level of freedom now that we have never had before. Things have become more simplified since 2012. Where we put our focus of attention is what we receive. Simple as that. It is our habits that continue to drag our old ways into the present time and future events.

I am having surprising success at looking at some of my most painful patterns (yet again) and finding that I really can let go, and forgive myself if that is needed. There is a new level of neutrality around the situation that was never there before for me. Of course I would have done things differently at that time if I had been more evolved. But now there is a new level of acceptance, willingness and a capacity to move ahead with my life without dragging the past with me.

We are all being given an exceptional opportunity to experience True Freedom within our lives. My life has taken on an almost magical quality, as old burdens are lifted and new opportunities continue to abound. This is true for everyone. It is a special creative moment and we have lots of support as long as we stay present. This may mean paying more attention to thoughts and emotions so we do not get swept into turbulent waters.

It may mean paying more attention to our spiritual practice. When we bring a strong element of prayer into life right now, there is more awareness of the massive supportive energy available during the Earth's ascension process. It really can be as easy as Aligning ourselves with Source energy and Allowing past patterns to fall away in this new resonance.

Moment to moment, may we all awaken and recognize the gifts being offered to us for this powerful time of New Life Awakening.

Divine Presence,

Thank you for helping me to bring more Wellbeing into my life by aligning me with the wisdom of my Soul's highest reality in this time. Thank you for helping me to look at old patterns from a place of neutrality, allowing them to dissipate into the Light of Divine Love. I gratefully receive a new level of Freedom, Resourcefulness and Stability into every area of my life right now. Thank you God and so it is.

Do not allow yourself to dwell in past patterns.
Simply accept those choices and move ahead.
Dear One,

As you move through your life, you are given many opportunities for growth. There may have been times when you chose ways of behavior which now seem inappropriate, and may even cause you great pain when you think of them. You may also have a sense of guilt for the pain you feel you caused others. You are here at this place and time, reading these words, to know that it is time to accept the choices you made in the past and to move on with your life. You were doing the best you could at the time.
    
What occurred in the past is over. To continue to beat yourself up or wish you had done things differently serves no purpose. There comes a time for forgiveness, and this is what is necessary before you can make the changes you want for your future. When you continue to relive past experiences, it keeps you dwelling in those patterns of behavior, even if you are no longer acting them out. It is necessary to clear those patterns through compassion and forgiveness.
    
Forgiveness is love in action. It is a cleansing balm which can soothe the tattered places of your mind. There is no person on earth who, as a child of God, does not deserve forgiveness. All that you have been through and all the actions you have taken up to this moment, have taught you lessons you have needed to learn. This is true for everyone. You will continue to receive the same lessons over and over, even if there is a slight variation in the form, until you do learn them.
    
It is helpful to remember your life is a huge school, where learning experiences are given in every moment to bring you to the peace and light of the Divine Presence within you. At a certain point in life, the peace of God is more important than anything else. All the choices you make will be made from the inner awareness: Does this bring me closer to peace? It is helpful to pray for others that they too might also find this place of peace within themselves.
    
Joy is found in total forgiveness. It can free you to live your life in the present moment, because you will no longer be looking back at what occurred in the past, or worrying about the future. When you find yourself living wholly in the moment, an energy is released within you. You can find passion for living, and a connection to the Source of all your good. From this place, all the decisions you make and the actions you take will be for the highest good of all concerned. From this place, you can find the peace you have been searching for. It is in this moment right now, and it is within you.

Practice:
    
Take the time to look at what is worrying you or what things in your life cause you pain when you remember them. It can be helpful to make a list, or write a letter to God or to the Angels and say all that you want to about that subject. Don't hold back. It's OK to go on and on, and repeat yourself. The important thing is that you clear your mind and emotions.
    
It may be helpful to picture yourself as a small child who did something which was not appropriate. Forgive this child of God, for if you had known how to do it differently, you would have. This is true for others involved in any situation. Forgive their inner child, even if you cannot forgive their actions.  
    
When you feel complete, sit quietly and breathe balanced breaths. Call on the Angels of Light and Love to be with you and guide your way. Next, pray to your Higher Power, and ask for forgiveness for those actions that may still cause you pain. Ask that you might feel God's forgiveness at the deepest level of your being.
    
Have an intention to heal all experiences within you from the past so you may now live in peace. When you have this intention, the flow of energy in your life will move in the way that will reflect your highest good. In this truth you can trust. Free yourself by forgiving the past, accepting the present moment as it is, and allowing miracles to be your future.

This is as it shall be when you remember your inspiration for today:
 
Do not dwell in past patterns.
Simply accept those choices and move ahead.
