Past Experiences VS Present Moment

YOU  MUST SEE THAT YOU HAVE VALUED [PAST] EXPERIENCES MERELY BECAUSE THEY OCCURED WHICH COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF THEY WERE VALUELESS IN YOUR BELIEF.  EXPERIENCING BEING FREE OF THE EFFECTS OF FEARFUL THOUGHTS REQUIRES THAT YOU RELEASE THE VALUE OF THEM TO SEE THAT IN THIS MOMENT, ONLY THE BELIEFS OF THE MOMENT INFLUENCE THE EXPERIENCE OF THE MOMENT.  PRACTICING STAYING IN THE MOMENT THEN REQUIRES PRACTICING UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
