Holding onto negative thoughts of the Past prevents us from reaching our full potential, feeling the happiness at the moment, and becoming our true self of Unconditional Love. Fear from the Past creates negative thoughts, which enable unwanted elementals (see our Blog posts titled, “Fears” and “The Source Of Disease” for an explanation of an elemental). When we experience a negative thought, it is best to distract our focus on the thought, as you would distract a toddler from danger. Negative thoughts energize unwanted elementals, which keep us in a state of uncertainty. Love from the Past energizes joyful elementals keeping our thoughts positive, and enhancing our spiritual growth.
