At times, when I meditate, unbeneficial thought of the past try to invade my mind. I instantly take charge of myself. I focus on the truth and sing: 'I leave the past behind,' and/or 'I love life, I live my dream, and my dream is blissful.' I return to the presence of my indwelling god self, for my latter days are better than my former days. As i take time to know me, I get the opportunity to bless and restore myself to my original wholeness, perfection and purity. Today, I heard an actor say, 'If you ever really own who you are, no one can ever use you, against you.' This is an amazing revelation. I am responsible for my actions. I am master of my life. I live in the present, and in that presence. Be present.
