I feel like I am making some breakthroughs I saw someone the other day a person who's energy I have been having issues with and I have been working hard to clear. I steared clear of the individual because seeing these people in the past has created some energetic drama that I have had to deal with and it is has proven to be challenging for me. I have hardly thought of it and so it is a breakthrough for me!! YEAH!!
I have questions about what is occuring within me and how to further shift it. I was reading from this book that internal struggling and "suffering" is from the attachment I have to my surroundings. I was thinking that the reason for my struggle is cause I am clinging to the bad and the good of my thoughts. I figure the more that I shift this the BETTER!! Is it my ego that is clinging to this and so in creating the suffering I experience? Is it a few things??
From this book: "bad tendancies continue to exist in the depths of the mind so long as the aspirant clings to good tendancies. It is attachement to the good tendencies and aversions for the bad ones are given up that the mind reaches the highest state of samadhi"
I was just thinking to continue what I am doing as to untwist the thougths that linger and persist. so as to achieve peace and samadhi?? How do I find the thoughts and unravel them? How to I keep up with this breakthrough? I figure continue with what I am doing.
any advice thank you!!

Hi there, I've recently gone through some spiritual breakthrough as well so maybe I can give my two cents worth.
I think you're definitely on to something as you're now aware of breaking old negative patterns that are holding you back. We're all bounded by our karmic bonds, be it from this life or the past (usually the past plays a huge part). To be able to "wake up", we first have to cut off all these old bonds that are perpetuating the bad habits and preventing us from seeing things the way they are.
Meditation helps. Just 10 or 15 minutes of it a day will do a lot of good if you're consistent. Also, you need to work on releasing your karmic ties to things. What you could do is to write down a list of all the negative patterns that are limiting you and causing negative energies like rage, anger etc. And you work on these by identifying the root cause and making peace with it.
I'll give you an example for myself to make it clearer (hopefully). I've always had a lot of rage and anger in me and I flip out very easily over small things. This really isn't just because I'm merely an angry person but it comes from the fact that I have a lot of pent up anger over my shitty childhood where my mom was very physical with me and she wasn't very loving. So I've been making peace with myself and forgiving all that happened before as I realize this is the path the universe has chosen for me which lead me to my awakening. Understanding it is part of the plan helps and accepting and being at peace is key. So I also reached out to my 10-year-old self (which was the most affected by childhood trauma) and explained to my 10-year-old self that it's all okay. Basically, it is to pacify your past self. I know it sounds crazy but just try it cos it works. It has worked for me on such profound level and I've been a much calmer person and have changed for the better.
You'll have to continuously work on releasing old karmic entanglement and free yourself. It might help if you can find a spiritual teacher to guide you as I did and it makes a lot of difference.
Hope this helps.
Love & Light
