How do we overcome our grief, pain, and our fears of our memory of abuse that traps us in time?... The way to do it is to give it up; do not identify with it. Ask yourself: "Am I this memory?” Obviously you are not. While you identify with your memory and pain, your grief, with the abuse that is trapping you. (Benjamin Creme)
