Rejection: The Negative That Works
In my previous post, "On The Law Of Assumption," I created two lists: single, a criminal, a victim, an avenger, in this catastrophe or that, in one bad situation or another; and holy, just, and righteous. The items in the first list (and their ilk) are rejections of the items in the second. What you reject will go away. Maybe I should have included peace, love, and serenity in that second list. Anyway, if you do not believe me, try criticizing, judging, berating, and constantly "correcting" your spouse, child, friend, boss, employee, neighbor, pay, job, co-worker, customer, etc. Sure gets lonely, doesn't it? If you imagine or engage in illicit fornication, unrighteousness of any sort, or react unfavorably to external stimuli, you won't find holiness, justice, righteousness, peace, love, or serenity in your world except as a beacon trying to call you out of it.
You have to ask yourself, What am I rejecting by what I think, say, and do? That good list? "Think on these things."

I did this to my partner and he left. I am creating a new situation. What are your thoughts on amending the old?

Like God, because he or she is God, every individual is sovereign, and we cannot judge them. Be that as it may, as Neville said, "What you did, you can do again." A person can feel loved, successful, joyful, appreciative/appreciated and secure AGAIN. I trust you have read Neville's experience moving from his bed to being INSIDE the picture on the wall. He said, "I am going exploring," and went for a walk inside the building. That might have been taken as a rejection of his life on the bed. He found himself stuck, as it were, in this new imagined life. "I know I am in this building, but I am also lying on my bed at home." To return, he imagined he was lying on his bed. It wasn't easy, because his bed-body was catatonic - as much as dead. But he determinedly persisted and regained his bed-body senses. So there are two paths we can go on: resurrect the past, or go bravely into a new future. Maybe a non-rejecting future. I believe the Bible says somewhere to not be unequally yoked; i.e., find someone who believes the same things.
I wish you every happiness.
