11/23/11 THE HOLIDAYS: INNER HEALING AND DOORS
IN OUR PAST
VISION: I saw the man I have seen many times
but never remember His face close up (Holy Spirit) and
Daddy on their hands and knees on my kitchen floor
working on many pieces of something along the
baseboard. It was not very light in there and I saw
they were precisely moving pieces around and into
place. I came in and saw what they were doing and
turned on the light on the kitchen stove for them. Then
I saw the man take what looked like a tennis ball racket
(which was the final result of what was laying on the
floor) and move it back and forth in a fluid movement
with his hand and wrist. The racket was made of many
thin circular pieces of veneer, they were fluidly
interlocking and moved back and forth together making
different patterns depending upon which way the racket
was held. It reminded me of a finger print the way the
patterns and swirls appeared.
INTERP
-
Details
on the floor = floor plan
-
Turning
on the light = shedding light on the plan
-
Moving
pieces around into place = precise and deliberate
decisions
-
Tennis
Racket = debate, boomerang, bouncing ideas back and
forth but not truly giving or receiving or
connecting in a meaningful way.
-
Circles
and patterns = we have preset patterns that take
place in our minds and souls when we come across
certain painful issues in our lives. These are like
rings in a tree. I once wrote that soul giants are
like the rings in trees and when we get in close
proximity to a knot, the circles and patterns adjust
around it and affect the rings. When someone gets
close to a soul giant or wound, things become bumped
out of place and perverted as to our ways of
thinking and responses to circumstances or things
people say.
-
This
reminds me of the definition of insanity: doing the
same thing over and over again and expecting a
different result.
THE HOLIDAYS: INNER HEALING AND DOORS IN OUR PAST
I feel the above rhema is the Lord's response to the
below article on the research about forgetting what we
were going to do when we walk into another room. People
sometimes forget things when they walk into a new door,
but they bring back the memory when they walk back to
the other room.
As Wayne told me about this article yesterday and I
received the revelation of another application about
walking through doors from our past. Sometimes when we
walk through an old door, all the old behaviors and
patterns come alive once again and we get locked into a
certain way of responding to old pain. Many people have
this association during holidays when they connect with
their relatives from childhood.
This is also true when we suffer points of trauma
anytime during our life and when we move out of that
time in our life we seemingly have adjusted - but when
walking back into that place once again, we do not feel
adjusted at all. I mentioned this to Wayne and he said
that the way they help people get over old traumas is to
put simulations of the same events (like computer
simulations of war for veterans) and they see and
experience the events of war only this time in a safe
environment and they eventually associate the old
trigger points with a new a safe place.
This holiday season, if you are "triggered" to old (bad)
places when you walk through a door your past, consider
making attempts to reconsider the following ideas:
1. Re-evaluate how you and others have grown and/or
changed since the days when you were first faced the
traumas.
2. Learn to be thankful in all things through Christ
Jesus for this is the will of God for you. Decide what
to be thankful for.
3. Make efforts to discover how God turned those
traumas into good because He loved you. Observe the
good changes that have taken place in your life because
you overcame the traumas.
4. See how you may be facing the same old patterns as
before, but now they are without the personal threat
that you once experienced.
5. Understand that the old door you entered is a place
you are only visiting, you no longer live in that
painful memory on a regular basis.
6. You may not be able to change another person, but
you have the opportunity to let go and forgive the past
and forgive offenses. When you forgive it will release
you from anger, bitterness and fear.
7. Instead of retreating to old patterns of fear,
conquer them with God's love. Ask for more of His love
to cover the past and cover all the offenses.
8. Forgive and love yourself as God loves you. He
doesnt view you as having failed, He views you as a
child learning lessons where you eventually grown up and
overcome. Ask to be able see yourself as He sees you,
so that you will be able to love others as you love
yourself.
ARTICLE: Walking through doorways causes forgetting,
new research shows
Susan Guibert• Date: November 16, 2011
http://newsinfo.nd.edu/news/27476-walking-through-doorways-causes-forgetting-new-research-shows/
We’ve all experienced it: The frustration of entering a
room and forgetting what we were going to do. Or get. Or
find.
New research from University of Notre Dame Psychology
Professor
Gabriel Radvansky suggests that passing
through doorways is the cause of these memory lapses.
“Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an
‘event boundary’ in the mind, which separates episodes
of activity and files them away,” Radvansky explains.
“Recalling the decision or activity that was made in a
different room is difficult because it has been
compartmentalized.”
The study was published recently in the
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology.
Conducting three experiments in both real and virtual
environments, Radvansky’s subjects – all college
students – performed memory tasks while crossing a room
and while exiting a doorway.
In the first experiment, subjects used a virtual
environment and moved from one room to another,
selecting an object on a table and exchanging it for an
object at a different table. They did the same thing
while simply moving across a room but not crossing
through a doorway.
Radvansky found that the subjects forgot more after
walking through a doorway compared to moving the same
distance across a room, suggesting that the doorway or
“event boundary” impedes one’s ability to retrieve
thoughts or decisions made in a different room.
The second experiment in a real-world setting required
subjects to conceal in boxes the objects chosen from the
table and move either across a room or travel the same
distance and walk through a doorway. The results in the
real-world environment replicated those in the virtual
world: walking through a doorway diminished subjects’
memories.
The final experiment was designed to test whether
doorways actually served as event boundaries or if one’s
ability to remember is linked to the environment in
which a decision – in this case, the selection of an
object – was created. Previous research has shown that
environmental factors affect memory and that information
learned in one environment is retrieved better when the
retrieval occurs in the same context. Subjects in this
leg of the study passed through several doorways,
leading back to the room in which they started. The
results showed no improvements in memory, suggesting
that the act of passing through a doorway serves as a
way the mind files away memories.

PRAYER: Lord we ask that this holiday season
will be triumphant for us all through Christ Jesus. We
pray that You will give us a new and peaceful way of
responding to old triggered patterns so that we will
receive the inner healing that our souls crave. We ask
that You will give us a mirror to show our progress and
help us align with Your purposes in our lives. In all
things we ask for more of Your love so that we may cover
the failures of the past. May all things work together
for good because You love us and we love you.

11/19/11: the following QW came out this week.
RHEMA 8/02/011 NO MORE ROOM, THE PAST IS PASSED
Today I was thinking about returning to something in my
past and asked the Lord about the wisdom of such a
decision.
PIX: I saw a CD pop out and a sign that said
DISK IS FULL.
