When you look back with regret, that (regret, loss) becomes your focus. Then your focus directs you: you go back to that – again and again.Choose a new rudder: Look forward now – and focus on your passion with joyful anticipation.Then your passion will fill the empty space of your loss...and where you land up will amaze you!
The way you perceive your Self is what enables, or disables, you.
Any perceived 'rejection' is simply a 're-direction'.
We need not fear death, for it is simply the next phase of life. We never die, we simply change form - just as we have since the day we were born.
All religions, in their pure form, will tell you God is Love. And power, fear, division, judgment, oppression, hatred and self-righteousness are the opposite of Love. So going to war, for example, in the name of religion, is a complete contradiction. No pure religious leader would ever support this.
