You're welcome. Again, the ones I have found to be richest are the ones about identity - who you know yourself to be, like "I am ____."

It can take some genuine, focused self-inquiry to find it, because a gremlin is squirmy -- it doesn't want to be found, it doesn't want the light of day to be shone upon it, because it knows (you know, at a deeply unconscious level) that conscious awareness will weaken or eliminate it.

And: it has a positive purpose! It is there for a very good reason, to protect you and keep you safe and alive, even though it is a little outdated and you have developed far more effective and sophisticated resources for handling the stuff you originally created the decision or command in order to handle.

You were just a little-bitty kid when you made this decision, after all. It was the best resource you had available, at the time. Do your best to let go of making it wrong or resisting it -- because that will keep it powerfully in place, not to mention feel pretty frustrating. Be grateful to your unconscious mind for creating this resource to keep you alive! It worked, didn't it? You are alive right now! (And I'm glad.)
