Circumstances vary. I do not think I have got this quite right in practice myself; but then, I started before I had properly thought it out: I sent off my statement of facts before I had really come to terms with it (i.e. righted myself), I think partly out of fear that I would forget what should not yet* be forgotten; although I did feel a great relief afterwards, I am not sure that my statement was the reason for this relief,** as I suffered periods of bitterness about it subsequently. The end of bitterness does not bring an end to remembrance: in fact, funnily enough, it does bring an end to the guilt feelings which perhaps are a reaction to the strength of the bitterness; so that one is enabled to see clearly, and without passion, and to go forward, come what may.***

***There were relapses even subsequent to this.... They ended with Forgiveness. {890930} [Later general statements of never having felt bitter about anything are clearly wrong, but not dishonestly so: perhaps a testament to the success of the process.]
