positive feelings is just coping with the fear of your inferiority. That is the greatest deception of our times...and it keeps you cycling through and perpetuating abuse in this world.

I've found it to be most effective to face the dark emotions and simply forgive them. In this way you forgive and forget...it's not a coverup by just going to the flip side of the polarity of energy by like getting high on a feeling...that is a form of cognitive dissonance and it most unfortunate that it is widely parroted as an acceptable thing to do.

Many of the "gurus' in this world are examples as the 'pinnacles of self-deception....the ultimate self-compromise'. It's a real shame.

best regards to you.
