<p><em><strong>&quot;Spiritual progress is like detoxification. Things have to come up in order to be released.</strong> Once we have asked to be healed, then our unhealed places are forced to the surface.&quot;</em> &#8211; Marianne Williamson </p>
<p>We call it &quot;Processing your Feelings&quot;.&nbsp; We find them, we acknowledge them, <strong><em>we allow them</em></strong>, we FEEL them, we release them and thus, we heal them.</p>
<p>Try it.&nbsp; Go where you&#8217;ve been avoiding going, inside yourself.</p>
<p><strong>Who or What are you REALLY Angry at?</strong>&nbsp; core level.&nbsp; probably from your childhood or teenhood.<br /><strong>Who or What REALLY Hurt you, the very most?</strong>&nbsp; from the gut, where does the core of your pain lie?</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s in a number of places&#8230; ok, pick one and get started.</p>
<p><strong>You don&#8217;t NEED anything or anybody in order to heal</strong> your past, your pain, your unhappy childhood, your depression, your anger &#8212; to live a life of freedom and joy.&nbsp; You don&#8217;t NEED a thing &#8212; except some courage, and willingness, and maturity.&nbsp; You&#8217;ll get thru it.&nbsp; You will.</p>
<p>Give yourself the biggest gift you can &#8212; allow yourself to really FEEL your negative feelings &#8212; all by yourself if necessary &#8212; so you can live free, from this day forth.</p>
<p>you can do it.<br /><strong><em>- Matt</em></strong></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Never apologize for showing true feelings. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.</span> </em><em>– Benjamin Disraeli, 1804-1881</em></p>

<p>&quot;War&quot; is a mighty strong word&#8230; but it&#8217;s a strong message, too.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Ok, we&#8217;re going to war.&nbsp; We wage a:</span></strong><br />war against Shoulds.<br />war against perfection.<br />war against harshness, and cruelty, and unnecessary pain.<br />war against emotional ignorance and cluelessness.<br />war against separateness and isolation and making enemies.<br />war against aloneness and loneliness.<br />war against rage, replaced with good clean anger.<br />war against depression, allowing the release of energy that free us to live and breathe.</p>
<p>war against guilt: teach me, but don&#8217;t trash my life.<br />war against shame: stand tall and be counted, for you are one of God&#8217;s children.<br />war against molest and abuse: OPEN YOUR EYES and see the horror and devastation of your uncaring actions.</p>
<p>war against hunger: in a land of plenty.<br />war against stupidity: where we do NOT support our elected leaders.<br />war against cruelty: disguised as ignorance.<br />war against brutality: in any form.</p>
<p><strong>We&#8217;re marching for Peace.</strong><br />we want peaceful borders.<br />we want our leaders to TALK and keep TALKin&#8217; until you guys work it out so that everyone wins &#8212; NO MORE WARS, EVER!!!</p>
<p>we want LOVE to be the governing body.&nbsp; the focus.&nbsp; the goal.&nbsp; the intent.&nbsp; the glue.<br />we want HAPPY and FUN to be good things, not an annoyance or irritation.</p>
<p>we want Therapy and Personal Growth and Coaching and Emotional Intelligence to be honored and respected for the Amazing changes we are making for, and to, the world &#8212; changing hearts, one person or a small group at a time.</p>
<p>we want our government officials to be:<br />Honest,<br />Open<br />Sane<br />NOT money-focused<br />NOT Good-ole&#8217;-boy cliquish<br />NOT based on personal gain.</p>
<p>We war against emotional pain, by bringing awareness to the masses, and we fight for peace, and joy, and love, in who we are and all that we do.</p>
<p>march on&#8230;</p>
