Dear Sandy,

The way I am reading it is sort of what we have talked about. Understanding the problem situation, emotion and then letting it go. I think that is what is meant by forgetting
OK, so then my approach and the Teacher's may well be in-sync.

Beautifully written! I totally agree based on the expressions on people's faces when I've worked on them on relieving guilt, anger, resentment & sorrow.
It appears to be a really deep experience.
One lady actually had a mild headache for a few days after my session with her!
It must've been a profound psychosomatic reaction.
Moreover, do not rely upon the understanding of another mortal, but search always for truth in any matter. Truth is to be found in all persons, as all have part of truth within them, depending on the level of understanding at which they operate.
Urantia Book says that the Truth Spirit was endowed to all those who believed in Jesus.
I don't know if it was for everyone (hope it was!) but what I'm finding is that in protecting myself
from joining any cult & blindly believing anything 'spiritual' anybody tells me,
I'm having to exercise that Spirit Of Truth to see if it resonates within myself. To TRUST myself & my truth response in these matters.
I think people, including me, that trust themselves in their jobs/skills also
need to learn to trust themselves in spiritual matters & fear less.. till fear disappears.
This is a new way of thinking for me because it uses feeling versus logic.
This is something that strikes home today...I have been struggling with a dilemma. It really isn't mine, but I am in a unique position to possibly help... Our neighbor, whom I have mentioned before in a post is mentally challenged. Yet at twenty five she finds herself alone in a small flat when she has the mind of a thirteen year old. She misses home and family and just simply longs to be loved by her mother...who to all appearances is ready to wash her hands of her. I have tried very hard to encourage her to look slightly differently at her mom...to be understanding of the emotion and stress she too has most likely been under. But even though she nods and says she is trying and hour later she is still broken hearted and wishing to borrow my phone to call her parents because they will not pick up when she uses her own. I need to find Donna's own personal level of understanding... and to do that I suspect I need the help of my TA and her own... Maybe I have not been looking at this with the eyes of God and instead been using my own resentful reasonings.
It's difficult though and I am physically powerless to protect her from this pain...
This is indeed a unique opportunity to assist another soul.
Firstly, there is no doubt within my own experiences that an intent/prayer said
in a meditative/hypnotice trance gets heard by celestials. So, I would do that for guidance if I were you.
I love working with people in such situations because I feel it brings out the best in me
& forces me to exercise a deep level of compassion & provide support for the troubled individual
by thinking outside the box for solutions when they themselves are unable to think straight.
I have 2 first-cousins with schizophrenia & I've talked to them for years before & after the disease took hold.
One group of parents handled it extremely well for their son, the other group wanted to wash their hands off their daughter.
It is extremely sad that Donna's parents ignore her calls.
It must be gut-wrenching when your own parents do that to you yet it must still be difficult for them to do that as well.
They need to read all the UB papers on Jesus' life.
It changed my reaction to angry people & I found reason to exercise compassion & recognition of the fact that
"Forgive them father, for they know not what they do."
When I was diagnosed with a memory disorder in my twenties, it was heart-breaking for me when my beloved father upon seeing
the psychiatrist's report didn't believe in it & didn't believe me either. The stress on me that caused it was initiated by
a very negative & selfish elder sister of mine & he never bothered to support me to have the family sit down and talk it out.
Additionally, all that I told him went on in the house in his long absences, he totally ignored. I couldn't believe it!
This was the first (& only time) in our lives I felt he failed me as a father & my protector.
He raised me to face challenges head-on yet he himself was avoiding assisting in resolving this situation.
So, I totally connect with Donna in that regard. I've seen both sides of the coin.
Please allow me to provide assistance on her case in whatever way I can.
OK...to the point,
1) What is the diagnosis of her condition; Is she schizophrenic, autistic, etc.?
2) Does she sleep properly?
3) Does she bother to dress well when she wakes up?
4) Is she open to changing the situation?
5) On a day to day basis, is she sane-enough to be a productive citizen?
6) Does she hear voices in the head?
A) Do you consider her depressed?
B) Does she consider herself depressed?
9) Does she have friends & are they positive or negative?
10) Does she go to school or work?
11) What's her flat like? Does it have flowers or paintings...things to appreciate?
I believe that no amount of talking you can do is going to help her....in my humble opinion.
Her feelings are overpowering & her grief/anguish/sadness has a total grip on her.
At most, you may be able to dilute them a bit.. but not change them significantly.
I predicted that my strongly positive & assertive best friend would 'dilute' some of my sister's negativity after they got married.
When I found forgiveness in my heart for her after 7 years & met them...I was right.
Expressing to Donna more than once that her mother has also been stressed by the daughters difficult behaviour
is just going to cause more guilt in Donna...in my opinion. And that will just make her feel sadder & her thinking more clouded.
There is a slim chance that negative entities may be clutched onto her.
I had to deal with that recently for a friend of mine.
I asked some of my more powerful friends (who do energy healing, curse removal, etc.)
to work on him based upon my diagnosis & he reported a total transformation in his thinking pattern that was
noticed by his friends & his "luck" had also changed.
He went from scraping for money for food for his family, being at suicidal stage (was about to slit his wrist,) & depressed
to walking tall, having confidence, having money suddenly come in & business coming his way again.
This transformation of his life happened in just 2 weeks.
So, that is a possibility to gently consider.
Perhaps, some of our other friends on this board can check her energies/aura or perform an akashic reading on her.
Perhaps you can give Donna's info to George for the healers among us.
Now, hypnotherapy can help Donna as well.
However, we are taught not to work on mentally unstable patients.
That's why I ask how stable she is.
I don't know how familiar you are with Hynotherapy but in my own work with others,
I can assert that it can
-Give her deep, refreshing sleep that will help her think clearer the next day
-Physically & mentally help her feel 'lighter' & more peaceful.
-Rid herself of guilt, anxiety for her welfare & future, forgive herself & her parents
-Allow her to step into her mother's shoes in situations she would recall to deeply understand her mother's actions
thus re-framing her own point of view. You need a local hypnotherapist for this.
-A local hypnotherapist can also give her a "trigger" to bring back consciously
a memory of when she felt she was the happiest. This memory would be instantly recalled in her waking state by using the trigger.
I did a session on a teen last summer who had an inferiority complex about her body (yet she is beautiful) &
would regularly cause trouble for her parents - who in turn made her unhappy by grounding her (not surprisingly)
& she would put herself in situations & with boys that would abuse her. I was shocked & heartbroken when all of it surfaced during the session.
It was a difficult session for me as she's a relative & I've seen her grow up & thus it was tough to remain impartial & having to keep patient confidentiality from her parents.
In deep trance, after relieving her of the 'feeling' in the bad memories, I associated the squeezing of her palm by herself to a memory of
when she remembered being the most happy & most beautiful/pretty in her life.
Upon waking, She's able to use that in waking state anytime she feels down.
(Her friends were tickled!...hee hee)
Hmmm ...maybe I need to ask for a higher level of understanding in this situation
...and maybe there is a lesson for Donna and me too, huh?
Will give it some prayerful consideration.
No harm in asking for higher guidance. I usually do so that I can make the best decisions to help a troubled soul.
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that this troubled child is your neighbour for a reason.
It is a valuable opportunity for you to assist her and for you to further your spiritual attainment.
. Yes they came with better equipment than generations before her but we all have the ability to know as she does but we just have to learn it the hard way.
. You know how you dont want to raise Zara, so another lesson was learned, no guilt about that.
I often wondered why one person's Truth could be so different from anothers, each Truth moving the individual to greater and greater spiritual things but each one pursuing very different methods. I am thinking now perhaps it does have a great deal to do with our current understandings. Is one greater then another? I don't think so. I think as we grow and develop in this world and the next (and on into eternity) we will be ever more capable of understanding advancing Truth. These powerful understandings if shown to us right now might send us flat on our back in surprise and wonder... 
Until those time distant days... we each use tools of understanding appropriate to our chosen direction and "spiritual age".
