<P class=MsoFooter style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 210.0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold">It is possible to be aware of vestiges of shame that are like a cloak, not [resulting] from anything real for which a person with conscience should feel bad, but from the sense of shame that is passed like a hot potato back and forth and around and around on this planet.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Most children have been shamed.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And shame is an emotion that is “stuffed”, ignored, hidden, that often results in other reactions [such as anger] while the shame remains hidden.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is possible to be aware of experiencing this unpleasant, uncomfortable emotion while interacting with others and being of good cheer.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so, it is through an ongoing connection through[out] your day, with periods of one-on-one when you have the time or the place, that these emotions can be brought to the Father and offered up, that He may relieve you of them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Rather through the process of experiencing and releasing to the Father these emotions, they dissipate and are cleansed over time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Just like an air cleaner does not instantaneously clean the air in a room, the emotions of a lifetime are not instantaneously gone through a single decision, they are removed through a process of honoring the emotion, while deciding you no longer need it and offering it up which then allows space for more until the process is completed.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Does this answer your question, my dear?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
