Yesterday a woman came to me with a situation in which she was suffering. Maybe you read about that in yesterday's diary. Today a man came whose problem seemed to be just the other way round. And I find it important to show this side, too.
He told me that he had left his girlfriend last August. There was not really an appropriate reason for leaving her and he had just said her that it 'did not seem right anymore'. She cried, asked him for a real reason and wanted to talk about it but he was blocking all attempts from her side. He even told her not to contact him anymore. Now he sits there and feels guilty as though he had cheated her. He cannot find peace inside himself and suffers from this feeling of guilt. He said: "I said her so many times: please never leave me! And then I left her. I was begging her to always stay with me and then I did to her what I was so afraid of that she would do to me. Now I do not know how I can face her, how I can go and beg her pardon. I don't even know how I can call her and talk to her after I said I did not want to talk about anything. I want to say sorry for all this but I can't."
Since he has stopped her from contacting him he thought about her a lot and missed her much. At the same time when he thinks of her it feels like carrying a stone in the heart and he said he cannot find peace if she can't forgive him. He said: "I feel horrible for hurting her in this way. I don't know what feelings she has for me now. Maybe she hates me because I gave her this pain."
I gave him healing and after that I said to him: You did this and you feel guilty. This means you realize your mistake, you see that you did something wrong. This is the first step, you are facing the reality. Okay, maybe in that time your mind and your energy was confused but you realized later that what you did in this energy was not good. It is the first step to get healed. Maybe she really feels that much hurt that she would not even like to see you but you are feeling this guilt like a stone in the heart. You need to get relief from that.
So I will suggest you to go to her in person, not on phone, and beg her pardon. This will give you relieve. You want to say sorry but your ego keeps you from doing it. You think it makes you small if you beg somebody's pardon but it does not. Overcome your ego and apologize for what you did. Do not expect anything from it and least of all that she would like to be together with you again. Go there without expectations. I believe you when you say that she loved you very much and this is why I believe that she will forgive you. love never finishes and there is much forgiveness in love. But even if not, you will have peace in the heart.

I always wonder, if there weren't terms like "boy friend" or "girl friend" would it hurt so much when separated? would the separation even feel like a separation or would it just be movement? If you didn't have the title and the role to fill you could come in and out of each other's lives without having to and or begin anything. and it would just be movement.

Dear Terrance, I don't think labels or titles have much of anything to do with it. If you shared amazing times with someone, it will still be sad to let them go. If you developed love for that person, you will be hurt if they never want to talk to you again...whether it's your friend, mom, girlfriend, or daughter. Just my thoughts. Blessings to you.

Relationships can be so tough sometimes. I understand his guilt, and I think he should search inside himself for the reasons why he left her... there had to be something, even if it had nothing to do with her. I think he definitely deserves forgiveness, especially from himself. All he can do is apologize in order to get it off of his chest...but he can't expect anything in return. But it will help him relieve his guilt at least.

I feel so bad for this dude, but he really needs to talk to her.

Oh man, I really feel for this guy. It's not like he was trying to hurt her, maybe he just wished they could both thrive in their lives and knew they couldn't thrive together. it is probably because he cares that he allowed himself to become so scared that he stopped communication. and she is hurting, he should go to her and afford her some peace by letting her know that he is hurting too. If they could both be open about it... approach each other without fear... well, I just hope they got some peace in the end,

I think it is selfish to ask for forgiveness! he is not thinking of her he just wants her to make him feel better about leaving for now good reason. Which is essentially just him trying to take more from her.

In the history of mankind, many religions have died and with time, the present religions will become a part of history as well.
SourceYou should not trust god completely because if you do, you will die, waiting for him to come and help you! Fool god, tell him that you believe in him and have full faith while you would never actually trust him that much!
SourceEverybody is spiritual in his own way. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church or are not sure about god, you are spiritual if you believe in love.
SourceThe problem in a discussion with religious people is that they do not only think their belief is the best but quote their scriptures as proof in their arguments and then get confused and can't believe it when somebody doesn't accept their quotations as the truth.
SourceWords are not the only way to communicate. A look in someone’s eyes can express feelings in a much deeper way.
SourceDon’t be overprotective. Lack of self-esteem, indecision and also problems with getting into company of others are the consequences. Don’t overprotect, give freedom and let them make their experiences. They will shape the world of tomorrow, so don’t try to press them into your world. Let them free.
SourceDon't try to convince others - they have to make their own experience.
SourceLove is the soul of our soul. Without it, you can be alive, but your soul is dead. We need love, it is the essence of our essence.
SourceA lot of doctors close their practices on Thursday due to superstition! People and doctors both think a doctor's visit on a Thursday means another doctor's visit later! They study, they learned a lot of science and they know about the body, its diseases and cures – but that does not keep them from believing that Thursdays are bad days!
SourceIf you don’t receive what you wished for, accept that it is God’s wish for you not to have it. He does what is best for you.
SourceLove at first sight happens because you have love inside you. Something triggers it, it starts to flow and you fall in love.
SourceNo, money is not everything and you cannot express the value of everything in Euros, Dollars or Rupees!
SourceLet your children grow up without learning violence in video games. Teach them instead to play with each other, not against each other. Show them that a child of another nation and maybe with another language is just as valuable as they are themselves.
SourceYou are the creator of your world. If you want to make yourself small, you can, but you can also realize your strength and see that we are all human, all the same. There is one love and one god for all of us.
SourceWouldn't it be best if we all could just be humans and not let religious leaders earn a lot of money through their manipulation.
SourceSome people who believe in reincarnation neglect their own responsibilities. There is always a very convenient excuse: that happens because of my past life!
SourceYou are more than a body and not only your body. People should love you not because of your body. Your real freedom would be if you did not use your body as a medium to attract people’s attention.
SourceIf you experience fear, it doesn’t make me afraid. If you eat something, it does not fill my stomach. In the same way, I don’t believe in God just because you do!
SourceWhy would God want women to be worth less than men? If men can read a book that you consider holy, why would women not read it, too? Why is it a sign of impurity when they go through their cycle, the most natural process on earth which makes life possible? There is nothing wrong in believing in the good aspects of different religions. Female suppression is however one of those aspects that can happily be left behind. Gender equality and fairness is something that you don’t need a religion to teach you.
SourceIs this not a funny attitude that some hours of bad mood have to exist in one day, too?
