Do you know what that means?

It means erase all of your personal history, so nothing will get in your way of living for moment.

You can't remember that so-and-so used to call you a dummy -- and therefore your are.

You can't remember that your teacher told you you couldn't write or spell, and therefore you can't.

You can't remember that your school mates told you you were ugly and therefore you are.

Do you understand how important that is? If you want to live in moment, you can't let something that is not IN THAT MOMENT be IN THAT MOMENT.

Let's say you wanted to compete in a contest. You're getting ready, but suddenly you remember something that was said long ago that doesn't support what you are doing now.

Well, you know what? That *something* is not who you are now -- that something is MAYBE who you were then. (And, actually, it really is just a MAYBE.)

Are we interested in who you were then? No. Are we interested more in fact that you've trained for this, you can do this, you are going to do this? Yes.

Then why are you thinking about what was? Why aren't you remembering everything that supports who you are or want to be NOW, and letting old memories dissolve and disappear.

Can you do that?

Yes!

OK. Let's do it now. Here's how:

Put that old thought in a cloud -- a cloud covered with a fine mist.

Now mist is raising cloud. That cloud is rising higher and higher. It had something in it, didn't it? What was it? You can't see it, can you?

Oops, it's trying to poke through.

Cover it with crayons of different colors on all sides. Now, you can't see it, can you?

Ooops. You say it's still coming through?

Do you do fireworks? You know what fireworks would do to that, don't you? Kabam!

If that doesn't work, use a suction cup. Attached to suction cup is a long string. Light bottom of string, and watch as flames leap up and whole thing burns to nothing.
