dark into light

Great healing occurs when we see every aspect of our experience fully, without the movement of thought coloring and narrowing our perspective. We say that we see clearly until we perceive an attack from another. Staying awake at night, endlessly replaying the offense in our minds, spiting the person, and identifying with the victim. Ask yourself- if the goal is unconditional love, to be like Christ, then is it possible to hold grievances against yourself or another? Love cannot flower where fear is cultivated. If fear is the unknown, bring what is dark within yourself into the light so that you may be liberated.

How does one go about this transformation, not just reading words on a screen, but actually? You may understand it intellectually and verbally but have not gone into it alone.
