Writing as self Therapy

The amazing thing about writing is that we are always changing. It might not be obvious as we move from day to day but it is happening. Every relationship we have, every place we travel to, every book we read or movie that we watch changes us. Sometimes these changes are for the better sometimes for the worse. But, writing I find and keeping what I write and then re-reading what I wrote days, weeks, months or even years later I find to be very healing. It is one way to meet all your selves through the years and then say to yourself, "OH. Did I really believe that then? How funny!" And as I read things I have written since about 1980 now it is amazing to me that I'm 65 and can now read things about back as far as 1980 still. It isn't that I didn't write before then, it is because my mother and my 1st wife  (at different times burned the things I wrote). My mother though she was an intuitive was scared by what I was capable of because I was an intellectual in addition to being an intuitive. So, even though she saw angels and masters too, she didn't write about it. So, she didn't really understand that one of the ways I survived awful things in my life without committing suicide between 1969 and 1974 was by writing down my experiences. When you can remove your feelings from yourself by writing them down it can be almost as if those experiences belong to someone else. And then you can be more dispassionate in making decisions in your life.

My father said to me growing up, "Don't ever worry about decisions son. Many people do and it just ruins their lives. You need to just keep making those decisions with whatever information you have at the time. It is sort of like driving down the road making navigation decisions. Life just comes at you and you have to make decisions often on the fly. Don't worry. Just keep making those decisions and if you get better information later make different decisions then. just keep moving. Just keep making decisions. And being a man (This was the 1950s) you are going to have to make decisions every day so just keep making them and don't worry about it." These were really wise words. But one of my tools has always been to write down things that are bothering me and I find this helps me more easily make the decisions I need to some of the time.

I suppose you could make videos or tape recordings but for me that just makes it too real and unfathomable whereas I need some distance to be able to make a better decision in my life. However, writing for me is very intimate as well. So, I like to read what I have written years later because it can be wonderful meeting that part of me again and thinking, "Wow! This is pretty neat. That's a really good idea the way I expressed that."

I don't claim to be a professional writer but I do know I am a Seer, an Intuitive and a visionary. And for me, sometimes that's enough. So, happy writing everyone!
