Let’s change the vibration and say Happy April Wise Day! Let’s live as a real human BEING!
Caller asked for support. She contacted a detective today, an incident happened 6 months ago, someone borrowed money from her and will not keep his word and repay it. She decided to hold him accountable through the law yet has fear that he might go to jail because she calls the detective, she really does not want to punish. Holding someone accountable is protecting self and the community not “punishment.” She has fear that there will be a retribution due to her action. Now that the fear is triggered, do wake-up sheets on the fear. MindShifter: “It is safe and healing when I speak up and hold men in my life accountable. And they honor and cherish me for that.” Resonates a big issue in her life, been single since her divorce. Dr. Tim suggested that clients he has worked with who make statements like she made in this call usually is due to abuse…then the person who is abused is told they are the cause of a bigger problem. Example, letting the authorities know what the guy did and not taking on the blame that if they go to jail it is not her responsibility, it is the result of the guy’s behavior. Captain called in regarding his accident and how the other people involved raged at him. Rex added that in his own experience when he stopped raging at others he saw (more times than he wanted) other people raging towards him. It offered the opportunity to clean up the part that was still there that might have raged back. Michele shared how her building manager raged at her the other day. |

What would life be like if no matter what happened that you could remain connected to your BEING, Love? When we are “upset” towards someone it is because we have a goal for them that they are not achieving. But it is because we have that form of upset within us that we experience it – it has nothing to do with the other person and what they did or did not do. It is always our choice whether we maintain the condition of love by forgiving everything unlike love that is within us.
Jeanie requested assistance / guidance in converting CDs and DVDs to MP3s and MP4s. Also reminder that HeartLand season is coming up … help in getting ready and send people our way. Not traveling this year may impact our attendance. The Reality Wake-up Sheet is how to remove the capacity for any form of hostility or fear to be generated in your life. You will realize you have “come home” to who you really are. Chatroom comment following the example of a 5 year old beating their own face, how many of us continually beat ourselves up in the emotional, mental areas of life. Linda called near the end of the show, facing challenges within her family and needing guidance. First with her Aunt Esther, the family is all medical minded and told Linda to stop with intoducing her aunt to this work, they want to follow the institutionalization process. Then with her father and siblings – how does she keep drawing this in? (out of time, begin the show tomorrow) |

Topic on heaven and near life experiences (the world considers it near death experiences). Suggested readings.
Anita Moorjani, book is “Dying to Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing” (has a TED Talk video) Eben Alexander III, book is “Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife”
Mary C. Neal, book is “To Heaven and Back: A Doctor’s Extraordinary Account of Her Death, Heaven, Angels, and Life Again” Kogi people is an indigenous ethnic group who do not view death as tragic but as fulfillment of life. Invisible and invulnerable to Death, the soul wanders for 9 days and then they believe the soul goes through rebirth. The elders videoed a warning to the world about Mother Earth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vLaeenrGpY) Marlo Morgan, book is “Mutin Message Down Under” Linda called back in. Out of a state of upset and disturbance one cannot find the solution to the issue. She felt sadness because her family is not “a family” – michael stopped her to see truth is sadness is there because it is in her. Great conversation and support. |

Recovery Wednesday! Gail shared the momentum building in her life by doing the Laws of Living’s 66 days of homework. It is about integrity with self. Just like recovery, it is about changing the cause (the bigger problem) not just addressing the effect (the behaviors, the addiction is a symptom). 90% of problem is my thinking…thought first, followed by feeling, anesthesized by a drug. The substance impacts the thinking which is the starting point of the vicious cycle.
Bill Costantino announced that on May 22nd he begins the next 30-day Forgiveness Adventure. He also is working to clean up his own addiction to sugar. Notices a strong association of food as a reward, especially that contains sugar. He attempts to convince himself that he has worked hard and deserves the reward so it is ok to indulge oneself in the pleasure of partaking. michael offered new stats on just how addictive sugar is and that awareness is the first step and willingness is the key. The wake-up sheet. A 12-step program is one way to assist. Mitzi offered Chromium is a mineral supplement that reduces sugar cravings and helps balance insulin levels. michael talks about Dr. Amens and his process of doing SPECT imaging of brain functions from normal healthy function to use of alcohol, pot, cigarettes, crank, etc. (see brainplace.com) The worst looking image is a kid on 2 years of pot use (poster on JM_Ryce facebook). A lady michael has worked with in the past commented on the poster and this opened the conversation about her addiction to pot. She has lots of stories about why it is acceptable for her to continue using pot and she likewise eats out of control. She has come against an issue bigger than previously faced. Anesthisizing herself. Admits she can’t keep a commitment or self-control but is aware she is destroying herself. Terry B. says the person has to get to the point where they realize it is not working for them. AA says one must take responsibiltiy of their own life and FIRST step is to STOP using THEN you can work on the CoDependent issues that are connected. Simple but not easy. Move through the crap then recovery is on the other side. The forgiveness work is a way of keeping the mind clean and change the Why Again events in life. Gail goes through the AA 12-steps quickly and what’s required to change. Four things in common if an addict (regardless whether it is an addiction to porn, meth, pot or alcohol or whatever). Each thought they could control their life and control the drug. The four common things is the addiction, thoughts, feelings and the solution. |

Continuation from yesterday: Young woman unwilling to go to a 12-step program and even offers 10 reasons why she will not go. 1) Be with a bunch of wierdos – Don’t want to hang out with those other addicts (better than?) 2) I’ll be around others with worse addictive substances (addiction is addiction) 3) I’ll waste time going back and forth etc that I could be using doing all the tasks I need to get done 4) 5) I’ll be ashamed if people I know find out 6) Fear of losing my business licensing if they find out 7) those addicts have real issues, using worse drugs, I am using a natural plant 8) I can function and most of “them” can’t 9) the sponsor or teacher won’t know what I need – I know better 10) it’a all on me to do my work and have a full lifestyle.
She did find an app for her phone called Marijuana Annonymous (MA) which she found supportive. Gail offered her experience with the same excuses. Shared her resistance to going to AA yet she was at the bottom and on the verge of losing everything. She was given the advice to “find your tribe” and she finally found a group that was mostly women who also were single moms, experienced spousal abuse and child sexual abuse and were able to support the painful areas in her life that were driving her to the alcohol. michael spoke on denial and the stories given blaming someone or something outside themself. When awareness keeps cropping up and denial alone does not work then alcohol and drugs are a physical denial – push it down to not face and deal with the issue. Community of Love is needed – we can’t do it on our own. To undo the old traumatic pain. During those extreme abusive experiences one develops an alternate personality to survive and this disassociated personality often comes up and takes over. The wake-up sheet can dissolve the multiple personality. Dr. Andracki offered we are all able to go beyond where we are or have been, those in addiction included. He speaks of an epidemic in our country of addicted teens, pregnant young women, overdose, and death. Many began by taking medications in the family medicine cabinet but street heroin is cheaper. There are many means of recovery assistance. One medical method is Suboxone which is known as the magic pill, it is used in treating opiate addictions. It is a way to make them feel “normal” but is not an easy transition, they have to be in withdrawal first. They can actually function in a job and avoid their prostitution, theft, illegal use of drugs to get their drug. AND Dr. Andracki requires they are participating in their recovery – he runs a weekly support group on forgiveness, and he has meetings weekly on recovery – there is also AA, NA, etc. Parents need to talk with their children. He holds the space that each patient can live life fully and recover from either diseases or addictions. Dr Tim Hayes, some of the best therapy techniques are right in alignment with what is found on www.whyagain.org – identify patterns, signs, the trail left in the wake to uncover the driver behind the behavior. Use the wake-up process and other tools, find a group (a tribe) and if still stuck find a therapy method to assist with your break through. Technique is only as good as the practitioner and the relationship between the client and the practitioner: such as, coherence therapy, EMDR trauma reduction, TIR traumatic incident reduction, DNMS developmental needs meeting strategy. |

Dr Tim mentioned the book “Whatever arises … Love that!” by Matt Kahn. It goes along with this work and Guy Finley work. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said
“If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.”Caller, David, shares his support of a friend who is institutionalized (refer to March 30th show). michael acknowledged David for taking on the “tall order” to stay and breathe his friend. While medication can calm her it will not heal her so for her to have David there to teach her real healing. As a reminder, David had also been institutionalized years ago and this was resignated by the current event with his friend. He also had an interaction with her father which resonated his own issues with his own dad and recognized it was his own stuff. David said it reminds him of a story, he is willing to put on the white belt (even though he has a black belt) and just learn today. “Secrets of Being Unstoppable” by Guy Finley – you must be willing to step in and face the situation instead of creating demons about the event and running away. 1)Start, 2)Stick with it, 3)See What Happens, and 4)Start Again. This allows one to be in the middle of their life fully present. Another caller feeling guilty for not sticking with a friend who’s son committed suicide after the war. michael advised her to do wake-up sheets around the guilt in herself and open the space for the friendship to bloom again. It is a cultural outcome of the collective mind energy that supports war – that mind energy needs to be healed. Another caller, Mary from IL, wants to invite the previous caller to Tuesday night support group in Woodstock and Thursday night in Crystal Lake. |

Recovery Wednesday! Gail offered input towards sugar addiction from the AA perspective. She herself remembers sugar being her first love and it anesthesizing the pain of a child. Yet needing a good body image to connect with people she would turn to bulimia. It became a revolving door of needing to connect to men, driving to sexual promiscuity, then shame which would lead to binge eating then guilt for that would lead to bulimia…etc. The molecular structure of sugar is so similar to that of alcohol and cocaine. The ability to stay away from sugar is such a challenge unless in a situation like at an intensive where it is unavailable. She discovered the common thread was sexual abuse and her drive to cover the pain.
michael suggested people watch the movie “Thanks for Sharing” which is about sexual addiction but is accurate for any addiction. One first goes into pain or fear, then they turn to hostility and when that is not enough then one goes to their drug of choice. Dr. Andracki wants to discuss an opiate issue. He has a 25 yr old man who started using pills at 11 yrs of age when he had a shoulder energy and later moved to using heroin, behaviors that sent him to prison, etc. and yet during his intake interview he told Dr. Andracki that he knew there was something wrong with his brain. Regardless of the consequence, his desire for heroin is greater than his desire to stay out of prison. He says AA does not work for him, he probably won’t take part of the support group, perhaps if there was an archive of one of these shows that offers him (and others) an explanation of what is wrong with his brain. Perhaps it would encourage him to be involved in the forgiveness work. michael offered there is nothing wrong with his brain, yet unresolved goals lead to behavior disorders. We are never taught to manage our own mind. One needs to strengthen the ability of Will (a Spiritual faculty – not willpower) which frames, sets, maintains, cancels goals, and selects a goal for immediate attention. Goals create stresses and without cancelling the goals the stress builds to unbearable levels and they turn to their addiction. Dr. Tim added, just sitting and tuning into the physical sensation of the craving and breathing and adding tapping or another energy point acupressure, then ask what is going on inside instead of reaching for the drug of choice. This can demonstrate to themselves that it is not a brain issue but an entire energy flow issue. Feelings connected to thoughts connected to addiction and behaviors and when there is a disconnect there is pain. He directed listeners to Gary Craigs site at www.emofree.com … also to Robert Smith YouTubes on faster EFT at https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=229+spiritually+speaking%20 for greater explanation. Caller Captain offered his discovery of having a sexual addiction. Realized that relationships go well until sex is involved then when he feels the sex declines he begins to accuse and his behavior deteriorates. Not sure what the driver is behind the sexual addiction. Terry called, first, you must stop using. He feels differently about the use of Suboxone and “weaning” people off their drug (michael offered Terry listen to April 7th show where Dr. Andracki explains his use of this with patients). michael said Dr. Andracki hands his patients “real healing” along with the use of Suboxone. Terry said he had been addicted to alcohol, opiates, needles, etc. and his turning point came when he almost died. He went through a detox process. Have to cross the threshold to be willing to do what it takes, including the experience of the withdrawal pain and move to the other side. One of the points Dr Andracki made last week is that the Suboxone offers the patient who is not strong enough (haven’t hit the wall yet) the option: a point of getting off the opiate by removing the “need” to steal or prostitute themselves to get the drug they feel they need to hide their pain. |

Open the show with Alanis Morissette’s song “Madness” – the ideas of this work in song. Recognize that if I have hostility or fear I am looking at myself, the madness in me lives on when you are not in the room. To change the madness I experience I must go to cause level.
michael is changing the Schematics of the Mind sheet (http://www.whyagain.org/images/PDF/_Getting_Stress_You_Need_diagram_filters3_rev2011.pdf) to include behaviors. Rakhma is a filter in the mind over intentions which are the raw material of which we select and form our goals which drives behavior. Rakhma is also the gateway for Love to enter this human form…Love is a state of being. The other two filters are Hostility or Fear. Rakhma is the filter when active intentions are Constructive + Khooba filter over goals is Loving and produces a quality of behavior that is “caring”, when Hostility filter is active then intentions are Destructive + Hostility filter over goals is Irritating and produces a quality of behavior that is “viciousness”, when Fear filter is active then intentions are Negative + Fear filter over goals is Threatening and produces a quality of behavior that is “timidness”. Dr Tim offered for newbies that perhaps after watching the “Why Again?” DVD (which should be first) then perhaps going to “Empowered to Heal”. Support Group update, his group said ETH was less triggering than some of the others. A student, Ron Bleakney, has offered to watch the new Why 4-hr DVD and pick clips from it to put on YouTube for us. Caller, Ann, called in for support around anxiety/fear during a recent dental visit. Bottom result may be “not being taken care of properly”? |

Jeanie shared two emails received from Arjan Blad from the Netherlands who just translated the Why Again book and the Commitments and Reality Management Wake-up Sheet into the Dutch language, testimonial of the changes that happened for him during this time and his personal work toward healing. He shared his desire to know “who I am, and how this works, and now claim my birthright” Go to Why Again in Dutch for his contact info and the Why book in Dutch. Commitments at https://whyagain.org/my-commitment/
The Rukha Group is working on developing an app to do the wake-up sheets on mobile phones. Caller Brenda, resonated with the letters from Arjan, she is also losing her home due to staying vigilent with what she feels is right/not right. Staying on the path and realizing who she truly is. They may take her home but they cannot touch her joy and peace. Rex acknowledged Brenda’s commitment and courage and wanted to express how inspirational she is. To have the ability to express love in the midst of this unjust action. He suggested she contact a group who represent situations like hers – The Southern Poverty Law Center – their theme is justice / responsibility. He also spoke of the powerful reflection of Arjan for doing the translation work in Dutch. Experience of the community element of like-minded people and the personal growth and allowing things to flow. We heal together. He was riding his bike the other day and the wind was really cold and was blowing in his face no matter what direction he rode (north, south, east, circle)…he realized that nature was reflecting his internal resistence. Shared an experience he had 3-1/2 years ago when his son (Journey) died and he was asking God why is this happening. A moment in time the divine answer was “because you can” and he asked “I can what?” the answer was “because you can presence love for all humanity for all times.” I am able to embrace all things and all things are available for me – I don’t have to figure it out. Just be present in the moment. I seem to attract people and situations into my space so I can learn and support transformation and healing in myself and them. I could never done this alone … community assists the process. |

We watched the movie “Criminal” – there is a CIA man who gets killed and the Agency needs to find someone they can implant their guy’s memories into – to obtain some information that he had before he died. They take a criminal who is a sociopath and psychopath, who is in chains in prison, no morality or empathy for anyone and vicious in his behavior. When the CIA’s memories come into expression the criminal begins to “feel” for the first time. It begins with a memory of the birth of the child – the newborn experience and his behaviors begin to change. He develops empathy and love towards the guy’s family whose memories he now has. He comes into contact with Love and Love overcomes every viciousness in him. Changes his mask – his persona.
Doing the work and going layer by layer. Captain called in regarding his “bipolar” diagnosis, which is potentially holding onto opposing goals. He discovered he only takes his medication when he is in relationship and realized his relationships are usually pure ecstasy or pure agony – two sides of same coin – two opposing goals. He knows he is drawing in people who have the matching bags of both ecstasy and agony and that he is working towards changing that dynamic and is thankful for this work. Mark called in about pain that is up for him around a pending second break-up with a lady in his life. michael reminds him the pain is his and not due to the break-up…that is simply the trigger. |

Gail called to share her early experience with this work and her gratitude to now be part of this community, especially on Recovery Wednesday from a 12-step perspective. michael gives the definition again of what we call addiction.

Hold the space for a friend who is working toward moving back out of the depths of what world would call a terminal disease process. Also for another friend who is checking into a treatment center to get assistance in moving past a big challenge.
michael shared a conversation he had this morning with a gentleman in Africa who felt “he was suffering because of….” instead of looking inside and confronting the energy of suffering that he carries inside. Stuck in a lie. The construct we call our perception is based on the goal we hold for our object of attention, when we cancel the goal the disintegrative energy dissolves and we can reconnect with our being. We saw the movie “The Huntsman” and it is all about people in pain and trauma and rejection of love and how they create/see a reality that absolutely is not true in actuality and yet they believe it and it almost wrecks a relationship. And how out of the pain they behave in vengence and hate to keep from looking at the loss that lay underneath. Chatroom question. How do you let go of the guilt and shame for doing things to your kids? michael and Dr. Tim offer Power Person dynamics and pardoning yourself for what you did, realizing you did what you had learned and if willing to take responsbility can respond differently in the future. Repairing the damage and recreating a different relationship is possible. They found it hard to believe that that could happen. michael gave an example of a man at HeartLand who was estranged from his son for years and one day they spoke on the phone and communication was reborn. Julie, caller from Pahrump NV, new to the work, part of Dr. Andracki’s support group. The newborn IS LOVE. Recognize that is your essence too. Thumb prints shut us down and we begin looking for love in all the wrong places. Walked her through a worksheet on guilt, seeing myself as bad, recognize that message is not true, realize I lost my way and I did behaviors that were unacceptable or off-base, I hold a goal for myself to be perfect, now tap into that newborn energy and cancel my need to be perfect. My mind will go crazy but there is a power within me that I do not have to do this alone, Rukha will assist us in the change. Surrender I don’t know how to do this. |

When Truth shows up, the mind in blockage of truth has an elevation in stress. The stressor inside will be blocked from view and they will see someone or something outside of themself as the problem. They literally create an image and stories as cause and it may not be even close to actuality. Example: Hatfields and McCoys feud began in 1878 over the ownership of a pig and escalated continuously. 125 years later, on June 14, 2003 signed a proclamation declaring an official truce between their families. Generational inherited patterns must be undone.
What behaviors support your mental, emotional, spiritual and cellular health? Y’Shua said the most important in the law is to hold the condition of Love active in your mind when you think of God or neighbor in order to maintain self. Julie Haverstick called in. Question towards assisting someone in finding the driver (the goal) behind the output of their mind. Support helps one to feel safe enough to look at what they’ve hidden in the unconscious (perhaps for a long long time). Example of someone who seems to not be able to locate the specific goal in a relationship issue could be because looking at the goal of wanting to be looked at or touched with integrity and loving intent triggers when they themself had been out of integrity (they can’t face a time when they cheated on their spouse). The culture has devolved so far from truth and integrity so transferring the skills of looking inside is necessary. Thank you to everyone for their part. |

Healing can look pretty caotic at times. We are energetic beings and when energy moves then it expresses symptomatically whether in a disease process or a healing process it looks the same. We must be aware of the direction the energy is moving… is it disintegrative energy coming in or has one become vital enough to move the energy back out of the system. Same with a community, when people come together if there are energies less than love within the group, then it must be moved out in order to form true community with each other.
BELIEF – THE INVISIBLE PRISON! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCsRYr5KDs The prison that, because of denial, is unseen! Perhaps STRONGER, because of it’s invisibility, than a prison of iron bars! Caller Tabitha is having issues at work and home and wonders if she is heading in the right direction. michael invites her to go to the website and become familiar with the wake-up sheets. She then asked “Who is it I need to forgive?” michael proceeded to explain forgiveness. She also wonders if her Mom (who has passed on) is still supporting her. Caller Rex shares his experience with the gift of listening to his inner guidance. We always have that intuition (inne tutor) if we just listen (and not with our ears). Rex also shared an experience of how his mind created a reality that was not actuality. Jeanie shared how her mindset yesterday was not 100% love, there was fear activated around her Mom’s condition. Because of that what she “saw” wasn’t always accurate. Perfect example of removing what is less than love to have available the best information and guidance. Breathing through. |

Recovery Wednesday! Dr. Tim shared their experience in their support group last night, very powerful and there were 13 who went out together afterwards, great community has formed. One lady worked through wanting to be healthy and whole and yet she is in the position where the so called disease process could kill her physically. She was in despair. Needing to cancel the goal to stay alive and healthy and see what was driving from underneath. It was awesome!
Many people may not be recovering from a drug addiction yet most people are recovering from the “false belief that they are less than love” Gail shared a couple of experiences she had this week and her ability to “recover herself” and was more quickly able to get to the space of being Love and supporting other people even though they triggered an emotion less than love at first. A combination of using the forgiveness tools and what she learned through AA 12 steps. A Course in Miracles says “The holiest of all places on earth is where an ancient hatred becomes a present love.” michael gives the definition again of what we call addiction. Compulsive use…an anesthetic…root problem is the presence of an energy that hurts…the addiction is about covering that pain. Nothing has ever touched the truth of who I am (Love) while it may have been hidden or covered up. The active presence of love dissolves anything less than. Takes willingness to face, feel and deal with any energy less than love instead of covering it up. Mary in IL had read an article by Guy Finley “Drop the Weight of False Responsibilities” and it ties in with today’s conversation. http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/lettinggo/2014/11/drop-the-weight-of-false-responsibilities.html She realized she had a false belief that she could deal with anything in a relationship as long as they did not leave her. michael refers to it as the disease of premature positive thinking. Julie from Oregon, realizes she is so afraid of doing wake-up sheets because of what she will uncover so she resists doing her work and then things go from bad to worse. She is “sick” and has lost two students and thus a loss of income. Needs to change her paradigm of who she thinks she is. She denies the love she is and the good she is (her false belief). Dr Tim walks her through stopping, breathing and going through the process instead of talking on top of what was moving in the moment. michael offers the reminder that going back through and facing the past brings up a memory of pain but it is just that A MEMORY. |

It takes deep engagement to get the mind out of its old way of thinking. Premature Cognitive Commitment – when someone makes a presupposed conclusion that forms how the world (or circumstance) is seen and becomes a fixed reality, imprisoning the person in a fixed mode of perception. If we have committed to the belief that “they did it to me” instead of taking responsibility for what we experience in our lives then we can’t change the event. To heal we must realize that any anger, fear or pain is within and we have the power to let it go and change what we draw to us. Read interesting article http://everything2.com/title/Premature+cognitive+commitment with examples of elephants, flies, and fish and their cognitive commitment to the limit of their “prison”
Refusing to forgive (Aramaic forgiveness) the suffering will manifest in our physical diseases. Dr Tim commented on the protracted intro and asked “how many times will he say this same information?” Then answered his own question, with a laugh, “Hopefully enough times that it finally sinks in.” Referenced the book “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen. BELIEF – THE INVISIBLE PRISON! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCsRYr5KDs The prison that, because of denial, is unseen! Perhaps STRONGER, because of it’s invisibility, than a prison of iron bars! Caller Susan checking in. Intro was perfect for her. Encourage everyone to go to an intensive…and make a list of what you are ready to be done with…patterns in relationship or addictions. At HeartLand one’s vitality goes so high and clearing happens. Plus creates a community who supports one to get back on target. She shared how her MindShifter Group did a combined group wake-up sheet on vision (they all have to wear glasses) and then doing a group sheet on relationships. As a group, it opened the space for everyone to experience the change including those really shy. Use of amino acid glutamine for withdrawing from sugar. Caller Ron from Massachusetts. Acknowledged Susan as a power source. In transcribing the Why workshop, question on the holonomic model of the mind…quantum consciousness. |

The “something” that is driving the pain or turmoil is the goal one holds for the object of attention. The Course says, “Let go all the things you think you want (your goals), your triffling treasures put away (cancel the goal) and leave a clean and open space within your mind for Christ (Love) to come.” Your goal recruits the content in your carbon base memory and you construct your reality based on that content. Do you consider the cost too high to pay to return your mind to peace? The cost is cancelling the goal.
A Course in Miracles Chapter 21: Reason and Perception, Section II: Responsibility for Sight (depending on your printing of the book, either Pages 448-451, 502-505). “..the tiny change of mind by which the crucifixion is changed to resurrection. And being true, it is so simple that it cannot fail to be completely understood. Rejected yes, but NOT ambiguous. And if you choose against it now, it will not be because it is obscure, but rather that this little cost seemed, in your judgement, to be too much to pay for peace. This is the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain and the complete escape from sin, all to be given you. Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of salvation lies: I AM responsible for what I see. I chose the feelings I experience, and I decided on the goal I would achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me I asked for, and received as I had asked. Deceive yourself no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is done to you. Acknowledge but that you have been MISTAKEN, and all effects of your mistakes will disappear.” “Be willing, for an instant, to leave your altars free of what you placed upon them, and what is really there you CANNOT fail to see. The holy instant is not an instant of creation, but of recognition. For recognition comes of vision and suspended judgement.Then only it is possible to look within and see what MUST be there, plainly in sight, and wholly independent of inference and judgement. Undoing is not your task, but it IS up to you to welcome it or not. Faith and desire go hand in hand, for everyone believes in what he wants.” https://acourseinmiraclesnow.com/course-miracles-chapter-21-ii-responsibility-sight/ Caller Diane from Oregon – thinks she is a good example of “the other person is the issue” and finds herself seeing an issue in others and being a nurse she feels she needs to help them heal. She remembers her Mom being driven by perfectionism and the times when Mom wasn’t happy that she (even as a child) wanted her Mom to be happy. Diane sees that’s where her drive comes from to bring happiness to others over herself. Finds it sometimes challenging to move forward. michael offered Shakesphere’s quote “My words fly up and my thoughts remain below.” So, based on Diane’s own words that Mom was not rageful, a starting point might be around Mom’s raging…whether remembered or not…at a very young age boundaries are learned (often before cognition is fully developed). When a child can’t “fix it” for Mom or Dad they make up “it is my fault, I am a failure, life is hopeless and I am helpless” Caller Ann from Ocala – was raging and apologizing at the same time. Wake-up sheet at the bottom she saw that she perceived she wasn’t getting credit for something she did. She remembered when as a child she wasn’t to ask why she was just suposed to do it. She wasn’t given credit when she did come up with an idea. So this is driving her current position, she has linked her husband into her step-father’s file. michael offered the difference in discipline and punishment and to apologize instead of saying I’m sorry and to focus on what will be done different. |
