At your suggestion I have started doing Neale\u2019s \u201cHow To Have Your Own Conversation With God\u201d process on CWG TV. Today was my third CWG and it continues to be of tremendous help. I am still working on going deeper, but even now it is so good to go there, if that makes sense.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

When I first went to CWG TV the other day, I watched Neale\u2019s introductory video, where he talks about re-contextualization. I immediately put it to use in regard to my ex-husband because I have continued to go on believing that somehow I just didn\u2019t measure up to him, that I was somehow an inferior person and he wanted to move on to someone better than me. I have been divorced for over a decade, so this is kind of embarrassing to admit, but it\u2019s true.<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, the truth is I don\u2019t know that for sure\u2026 and well, I guess you could say I just made it up and chose to keep believing it. So, like Neale said, why not make up something better, more to your liking. So I did. And I am sticking to it and feel so much better and am leaving that old \u201creality\u201d behind. Do you have any insights or suggestions you can add to this? Thank you\u2026 Lee<\/em><\/p>\n

Dear Lee,<\/p>\n

You hit the nail on the proverbial head when you said you \u201cchose<\/i> to keep believing it.\u201d A belief is only a thought that we\u2019ve continued to think over and over, and the great thing about this is, we are always at choice as to what we will think about now! Yes, if this has been weighing on you for over a decade, it is high time for a New Thought. Change your thinking, change your life.<\/p>\n

While you are re-contextualizing this event, I invite you to remember that Conversations With God<\/i> says, \u201cI have sent you nothing but angels.\u201d The relationship with your ex-husband wouldn\u2019t have existed were it not for your ultimate expansion and highest good.<\/p>\n

My prayer regarding difficult situations is this: \u201cThank you, God, for helping me to see this through the lens of my soul, rather than through the filters of my mind.\u201d Knowing that nothing happens to<\/i> me, but that everything happens through<\/i> me for my highest good, helps me rise to my God-perspective about things.<\/p>\n

An attitude of gratitude changes everything. If you can try hard, with your own CWGs\u2019 help, to find things to be truly grateful for about the entire experience with your ex\u2014the good, the bad, and the ugly\u2014the leftover memories and confusion can begin to release their hold on your deep psyche.<\/p>\n

Now, about those personal CWGs: I am so glad you are doing them because they are enormously beneficial. Please, though, don\u2019t feel you have to \u201cwork on going deeper\u201d. Simply allow<\/i> more information to come through as you become more comfortable with the practice. Different people have different depths of detail and some people\u2019s CWGs are longer than others. The length of the response doesn\u2019t matter, as long as you receive the clarity you desire.<\/p>\n
