Well it seems there's great support for the article - thanks guys, it really helps in bringing these challenging topics to light.

Jenny you ask...

"is it possible for me to go into a review of these patterns as they have been named, labeled and acknowledged (many more of course than I realize yet!) in my journals and release them by sitting with them and feel behind them, drop into the feeling now, even if it is not being stimulated by a present situation?"

Yes it is indeed possible to explore the pattern by sitting with it once you recognise it. Just like we do on the courses. But you have to be really clear you are going into the depths of it. That's why we use facilitated meditation to take people as deep as possible - actually getting them to relive it and catalyse the buried soul fragments - that's what really makes it work.

And it is also about living this in day-to-day life. So what you may find is that you're able to access the pattern to a fairly deep degree, but you're likely to still need to manifest some physical experience to challenge you. That is after all why we are incarnated in physical form.

There comes a point down the path, when you realise that if you already know the issue, then it is difficult to be caught out and truly tested. Like for example trust in your spirituality. Trust is not an on/off thing. It's more a sliding scale. And so no matter how far you've traveled, you may be tested at even deeper levels of trust. For example I'll experience the benevolent team I know disappear, perhaps for months. I'll know they're there, but I'll need to keenly watch whatever retraction there may be, because of their apparent absence. Then when I've dealt with whatever it was, they'll reappear like a choir of angels!

So yes you can process by going into meditation on the issue. But it's highly also likely that you have to live it too.
