Dear remedios:
I want to thank you for your learned and wise response. It gives me a lot of food for thought and is very helpful. I think you are right on about how I create more blockages with my feelings of disappointment and fear of the pain. Your suggestions for how to cope with this are very good and I will try them. I have historically had difficulty feeling loved (and feeling lovable) and now is no exception. I find it hard to imagine that the universe loves me unconditionally. I cannot come up with any person who has loved me unconditionally or at least I never consciously experienced that. I also relate to what you said about pushing love away for fear of mistreatment. That resonates a whole lot. I am going to try the visualizations which you suggest. Everything you said touched a place in me--a place of truth. I am very grateful to you for responding.
