Your past is an imagined condition&#8230; no matter what happened to you! Did it happen? Yes. Is it happening now? <i>Only if you re-dream it.<\/i><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>You can choose a higher view by realizing that whenever you hear or feel yourself thinking something like, &#8220;I&#8217;m terrified of this situation,&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;ve been through something like this before so I know just how bad it&#8217;s going to be,&#8221; you&#8217;re adding (without knowing it) one more bar to a prison that, as it&#8217;s being built, is promising you that when you finish it, you&#8217;ll either be safe or have new possibilities. &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><i>Shatter it!<\/i> It&#8217;s simple.

You actually have to deliberately leave that world of thought &#8212; the world of dreams. And what world do you enter into? Don&#8217;t worry about that! Leave the one, and the willingness to leave the one is the entrance into the other. The new world will educate you about every subsequent world that exists concurrently.
