Vejn Dajer - Četiri pravila življenja

Pre nekih 2.500 godina Lao Cu je govorio o četiri kardinalne veštine I objasnio da kada ih primenjujemo kao način življenja, mi spoznamo I pristupamo istini univerzuma. Ove četiri veštine ne predstavljaju spoljašnju dogmu, već deo naše originalne prirode – njihovim praktikovanjem, mi se poravnavamo sa Izvorom I pristupamo moćima koje Energija Izvora poseduje. Prema učenjima Lao Cua, četiri kardinalne veštine prestavljaju najsigurniji način da napustimo navike I izgovore, I povežemo se sa našom originalnom prirodom. Što je više vaš život u hramoniji sa ove četiri veštine, to ste manje kontrolisani od strane nekompromisnog ega.

Prva kardinalna veština: Poštovanje za sav život

Prva kardinalna veština se manifestuje u vašem svakodnevnom životu kao bezuslovna ljubav I poštovanje za sva bića u kreaciji. Ovo uključuje I to da činite svesni trud da volite I poštujete sebe, kao I da uklonite sav kriticizam I osudu. Shvatite da ste vi deo Boga, I obzirom da morate biti onakvi kakvo je ono od čega ste došli, vas je lako voleti, vredni ste ljubavi, I imate božije osobine. Afirmišite ovo što češće možete, jer kada sebe vidite na načine ljubavi, nemate ništa osim ljubavi da šaljete od sebe. A što više volite druge, to vam manje trebaju stari izgovori I obrasci razmišljanja, pogotovo oni vezani za krivljenje drugih.

Druga kardinalna veština: Prirodna iskrenost

Ova veština menifestuje sebe kao iskrenost, jednostavnost, I vernost; I sumirana je u popularnoj mudroj uzrečici: Budi iskrena prema sebi. Koristiti izgovor kako bi objasnili zašto vaš život ne funkcioniše na nivou na kojem biste vi hteli, ne znači da ste iskreni prema sebi – kada ste potpuno iskreni I otvoreni, izgovorima nema ni traga. Ova druga veština obuhvata življenje života koji reflektuje izbore koji dolaze iz poštovanja I ljubavi prema vašoj sopstvenoj prirodi. Učinite istinu vašim najvažnijim atributom. Živite ono što pričate; drugim rečima, postanite iskreni u svemu što pričate I radite. Ako vam je ovo veliki izazov, zastanite na momenat I afirmišite: Više ne moram da budem neiskrena, I nepoštena. Ovo je ono ko sam, I ovako se osećam. Kada znate I verujete sebi, vi takođe poznajete I verujete Božanstvu koje vas je stvorilo. Ako živite iz iskrenosti, poštenja, I vernosti prema pozivima vašeg duha, nikada nećete ni imati priliku da koristite izgovore.

Treća kardinalna veština: Nežnost

Ova veština personifikuje jedan od mojih omiljenih I najčešće korišćenih izreka: Kada imate izbor da budete u pravu ili da budete prijatni, uvek izaberite prijatni. Toliko mnogo vaših starih navika razmišljanja I njihovih izgovora koje poseduju, dolaze iz potrebe da dokažete svima kako ste vi u pravu, a drugi nisu. Kada praktikujete ovu treću veštinu, vi eliminišete konflikte koji rezultiraju vašom potrebom da objašnjavate zašto ste upravu. Ova veština se manifestuje kao nežnost, obzirnost prema drugima, I osetljivost na duhovnu istinu.

Nežnost implicira da više nemate snažanu želju, isnpirisanu egom, da dominirate ili kontrolišete druge, što vam omogućava da se pokrenete u ritmu univerzuma. Vi sarađujete sa njim, poput surfera koji se vozi na talasima, umesto da pokušava da ih nadjača. Nežnost znači da prihvatate ljude takve kakvi su, umesto da insistirate da budu kao vi. Dok praktikujete ovakav način života, krivica nestaje, I vi uživate u mirnom svetu.

Četvrtakardinalna veština: Podrška

Ova veština se manifestuje u vašem životu kao služenje drugima bez ikakvog očekivanja nagrade. Još jednom ponvaljam, kada sebe naučite da se opustite u duhu davanja, pomaganja, ili ljubavi, vi se ponašate kao što se Bog ponaša. Dok razmišljate o mnogim izgovorima koji su dominirali vašim životom, pažljivo ih pogledajte – videćete da su svi fokusirani na ego: Ja ne mogu ovo da uradim, Ja sam prezauzeta, I preplašena, Ja nisam dovoljno vredna, Niko mi neće pomoći, Ja sam prestara za ovo, Ja sam preumorna za ovo. A sada zamislite da svu tu pažnju premestite sa sebe I da pitate univerzalni um Kako ja mogu služiti? Kada to učinite, poruka koju šaljete je sledeća: Ne razmišljam o sebi, I šta mogu ili ne mogu imati. Vaša namera je da učinite a se neko drugi oseća dobro.

Najveća radost dolazi od služenja I davanja, I zato zamenite svoju naviku fokusiranja izričito na sebe I šta je vaša korist u svemu tome. Kada učinite promenu da podržavate druge u vašem životu, bez da očekujete išta za uzvrat, razmišljaćete manje o tome šta vi želite I naćićete utehu I radost u aktu davanja I služenja.

Četiri kardinalne veštine su mapa ka jednostavnoj istini univerzuma. Da poštujemo sav život, da živimo sa prirodnom iskrenošću, da praktikujemo nežnost, I da služimo drugima, znači da udvostručujemo energiju koja je ispunjena onim od čega smo I sami potekli.

You'll See It When You Believe It

Pazite na rečnik!

Da li ste ikada obratili pažnju na fraze i izraze kojima opisujete neku situaciju ili cilj pred sobom? Da li ste razmišljali o tome da male razlike u načinu izražavanja mogu da stvore velike razlike u stavu prema nekoj pojavi i da time mogu da odrede celokupan dalji ishod. Evo odmah ću da pojasnim na šta mislim… Toliko puta u govoru koristimo reči koje nas automatski onesposobljavaju i stavljaju u pasivan položaj. Govorimo, na primer, da je nešto “katastrofa”, “strašno”, “užas”. Govorimo “ne mogu”, “moram”, “nadam se da”… To su sve izrazi koji nas stavljaju u podređen položaj u odnosu na situaciju i predeterminišu naše dalje ponašanje. U ovom tekstu ću pisati o tome da kada umesto ovih fraza, koristimo izjave koje će nam dati moć da možemo da preokrenemo situaciju.

Jedan od najčešćih načina da opravdamo situaciju u kojoj smo se našli je da kažemo da nismo mi krivi za to što nam se desilo. “Nisam kriv zato što sam ostao bez posla”, “nisam kriv zato što nemam slobodnog vremena”… Prvo, suludo je u svakoj situaciji tražiti krivca. Ako se brzo pomirimo sa nastalom situacijom, imaćemo više vremena da se posvetimo njenom rešavanju. Zato kada se dogodi neka negativna situacija, umesto da se pravdate da niste krivi, preuzmite odgovornost i pristupite rešavanju. Kažite: “Ja sam odgovoran zato što sam ostao bez posla”, “Ja sam odgovoran zato što nemam vremena”. Time ste sa pozicije jadikovanja i kukanja prešli u poziciju kada tražite rešenje bez dodatnog otežavanja u vidu samosažaljenja.

Često u svakodnevnom govoru koristimo fraze kao što su “ne mogu” ili “moram”. Na primer, “ne mogu da se danas vidim sa tobom jer…” ili “moram da odem na rođendan na koji mi se ne ide jer će se prijatelji naljutiti na mene ako ne dođem”. Nemojte da koristite ove izraze jer oni jednostavno nisu tačni! Nije tačno da ne možete da se vidite sa prijateljem, nego je to vaš izbor da se ne vidite. Zamislite da taj prijatelj treba da vam donese sto hiljada evra. Da li i tada ne biste mogli da se vidite sa njim? Nije tačno da morate da idete negde gde ne želite da odete. Ništa vam se neće desiti ako ne odete. Ali da ostavimo na stranu to što korišćenje navedenih izraza ne odgovara istini. Mnogo veći problem je to što nas njihovo korišćenje unapred stavlja u bezizlaznu situaciju. Kada kažemo “ne mogu”, naša podsvest to tumači kako smo slabi. Ako kažemo da nešto ne možemo, onda to nikada i nećemo uraditi. Zato je mnogo bolje da umesto “ne mogu”, koristite “neću”. Neću više odgovara istini, a sa druge strane vam stavlja do znanja da je to vaš izbor da nešto nećete i pokazuje da vi imate kontrolu nad situacijom. Isto je i sa “moram”. Umesto već unapred rešene situacije koja nam ostavlja prostora jedino da se žalimo na situaciju kada nešto moramo da radimo protiv svoje volje, mnogo je bolje da koristimo izraz “mogu”. “Mogu da odem na rođendan, a mogu i da ne odem… izbor je na meni”. Kada imate moć nad situacijom, potpuno je drugačiji način gledanja na stvari, imamo više samopouzdanja, jači osećaj kontrole, izbegavamo osećanje beznadežnosti i bespomoćnosti.

Primetio sam kod drugih, ali i kod sebe da smo skloni da sasvim obične situacije u životu okarakterišemo rečima “katastrofa” ili “strašno”. “Strašno kakva je gužva danas u saobraćaju.”, “Katastrofa kakva kiša pada”… Slažem se da je to deo žargona, ali trebalo bi da se kontrolišemo i trudimo se da izbegnemo ovako pogubne i oštre kvalifikacije za nešto što je sasvim uobičajeno. Naša podsvest neće registrovati da se radi o žargonu, već će registrovati opšti užas i katastrofu o kojoj pričamo.

Tipičan jezik gubitničkog mentaliteta predstavljaju i izrazi “nadam se” i “samo kada bi”. “Nadam se da će biti bolje”, “Nadam se da ću dobiti povišicu plate”, “Samo kada bih imao više vremena u toku dana…”. Korišćenjem ovakvih izraza se stavljate u pasivan položaj iščekujući da će nešto da se desi što nije u vašoj moći. Time prestaju sve mogućnosti da bilo šta promenite, da uradite nešto što će da promeni situaciju. Na primer, za povišicu plate možete da pitate šefa, a pre toga da se potrudite da on shvati kako vi stvarno zaslužujete veću platu i da je srećan što radite sa njim. Vreme uvek možete bolje da organizujete i da stvorite prostora za željene aktivnosti. Zato umesto “nadam se” i “samo kad bi”, koristite “znam”. “Znam da će biti bolje”, “Znam da ću dobiti povišicu plate”, “Znam da mogu da imam više vremena u toku dana”.

Sve dok životne situacije tretiramo kao probleme i dok ih kvalifikujemo kao loše i bezizlazne situacije, bićemo nemoćni da ih promenimo. Svaku nastalu situaciju posmatrajte kao priliku da steknete novo i poučno iskustvo. Probleme smatrajte izazovima! Izazovi nas teraju da stalno nalazimo nove pristupe, nove načine za rešavanje situacija. Posle svake rešene situacije bićemo osnaženi, pametniji i iskusniji. Mnogo je bolje da život ne smatramo kao borbu, nego kao avanturu. U borbi nema pobednika, već samo onih koji su manje ili više izgubili. Avantura nosi sa sobom zadovoljstvo prilikom rešavanja situacija. A kada se uplašimo od budućih nepredviđenih situacija, jednostavno sebi treba da pružimo podršku i kažemo da ćemo se izboriti sa svim izazovima. Zato kad god sebe uhvatite da izgovarate ove gubitničke, onesposobljavajuće fraze, zastanite, pa preformulišite rečenicu. Otvorite sebi mogućnost da se uspešno izborite sa svakom situacijom.

Prihvatite odgovornost za svoj život

Često razmišljam o tome kako većina ljudi nije spremna da prihvati činjenicu da su sami odgovorni za sve što im se dešava u životu. Iako su čitali knjigu Tajna, ili gledali film, iako uveravaju sebe da veruju u zakon privlačenja, i dalje su u stanju da se žale na neke više sile koje im ne dozvoljavaju da napreduju u životu.

Ranije nisam ni primećivao to stalno kukanje. Nekako mi je bilo normalno da ljudi kukaju i da se žale kada im nešto nije po volji. Ali sada, kada sam spoznao drugačiji način razmišljanja, strahovito mi smeta kada se neko žali. Naučio sam i da ne privlačim često takve situacije, ali desi se ponekad da i meni nepoznata osoba iz čista mira priđe i krene da kuka na svoju zlu sudbinu. Vaspitan sam tako da budem ljubazan prema svima i mislim da to zaista jeste vrlina. Ali u ovakvim situacijama ne postoji ljubazan način da prekinete tužnu priču, a da ne ispadnete bezosećajni, surovi, loši.

Nedavno se jedan dekica u čekaonici kod lekara zaleteo ka meni da me pita nešto. Nije mu smetalo što ga pre toga nisam ni pogledao, ni to što imam slušalice u ušima. Ljubazno sam se nasmešio i skinuo slušalice očekujući pitanje. Postavio je najopštije moguće pitanje, kao uvod u svoju tužnu priču. Odmah je nastavio sa istorijom svoje bolesti i šta mu je lekar rekao, pa šta je onda on njemu odgovorio, pa kako mora da kupi lekove, a ne može da ih dobije na recept i da mu je penzija 16.000 dinara. Kada je došao do penzije, rešio sam da prekinem razgovor i slagao sam kako ga ja potpuno razumem iako ja imam platu od 200.000 dinara i kako preko interneta zarađujem još toliko. On se zbunio, kiselo se nasmejao, rekao “svaka čast” i okrenuo na drugu stranu.

Koliko god vama sada izgledalo surovo i bezosećajno, ja nisam smeo sebi da dozvolim ometača u vidu dekice koji traži sažaljenje. Svi mi moramo da se okrenemo pozitivnim stvarima i pozitivnim primerima. Moramo da pronađemo način da ne završimo isto kao pomenuti dekica.

Da li možete da prihvatite činjenicu da ste sami odgovorni za sve što Vam se dešava? Baš sve!

Možda još uvek ne verujete da je tako. I ne morate da verujete, ali, bar do kraja teksta, prihvatite ovo kao činjenicu. Kada to stvarno budete shvatili i prihvatili, desiće se ogromne promene.

Niko nije kriv

Nemojte da pomislite da treba da preuzmete odgovornost da biste se osećali krivi zato što ste privukli neki događaj. Niko nije kriv. Iako ste privukli nešto loše, niste Vi krivi. Radili ste kako ste tada najbolje znali. Sada znate bolje i više. Sada znate da sami privlačite događaje, pa ćete se kloniti negativnih misli i osećanja da Vam se ne bi dešavale negativne stvari.

Ja imam kontrolu

Zar nije najbolje kada sami imate kontrolu nad svojim životom? Vi određujete šta ćete da radite, čime ćete da se bavite, šta će vam se događati, kako ćete se osećati… Ako smatrate da su spoljašnji događaji izvan vaše kontrole, osećate se tužno i bespomoćno. Ima li goreg osećaja nego biti bespomoćan?! Ali ako kažete sebi: “Da, ja sam uzrok. Daj da vidim kako mogu da promenim situaciju”, onda automatski dobijate kontrolu. Ako ste nešto privukli, onda sigurno možete i da ga se oslobodite.

Kada prihvatite odgovornost, više niste žrtva. Znam da je mnogima u podsvest usađeno da budu žrtve. Kao mali su najviše pažnje dobijali kada su bili bolesni ili povređeni. Onda se vremenom izgradio podsvesni program koji kaže: kada ti treba pažnja, ti se pravi da si jadan i ugrožen. I tako mnogi prožive svoj život glumeći žrtvu i očekujući pažnju drugih zbog toga što su jadni i bespomoćni. Ne, ja neću to! Ja hoću da maksimalno utičem na svoj život i zato preuzimam odgovornost!

Tako je moralo da bude

Do sada smo mnogo puta pominjali da se sve dešava s nekim razlogom. Kada budete prihvatili odgovornost za događaj, počećete da tražite i razlog njegovog nastanka. Shvatićete da je to što se desilo sigurno nastalo radi nekog višeg dobra, da vas nauči nekoj životnoj lekciji, da vam ukaže put za kasnije. Dakle, situacija koju ste doživeli je morala da se dogodi da biste kasnije postigli nešto više, bolje, drugačije… Koliko god vam se činio težak i bolan događaj, sigurno iz njega mogu da se izvuku neke pozitivne pouke. Samo je na Vama da li ćete to uraditi ili ne.

Ništa negativno ne mogu da privučem

Kada imate u vidu sve što je napisano, onda možete da izvučete zaključak da, u stvari, ništa negativno i loše ne možete da privučete. Sve što Vam se dešava je dobro i pozitivno! Možda će neka situacija izgledati katastrofalno drugima, ali ne sme i Vama tako da izgleda. Vi znate da svaka situacija nosi nešto dobro, da Vas svaka situacija uči nečemu novom, da je to prilika da promenite neke stvari u životu, da krenete drugačije ispočetka, da radite, napredujete, budete bolji i srećniji.

Razmislite samo koliku moć imate! Samo treba da kažete: “Da, to sam ja privukao! Odmah ću da ga se rešim!”

Koliko u sebi nosite negativne energije i kako da je se rešite?

Nekada je negativna energija majstor sakrivanja. Mnogi je nose, a da pri tom toga nisu ni svesni.

Ima ljudi koji neprestano privlače progrešne ljude, situacije ili osećaje i sve to pravdaju ’životom’, ’sudbinom’ ili ’sticajem okolnosti’. Sebe često nazivaju ’surovo realnim’ (jer je za njih život upravo takav) i one što se svako malo nešto smeškaju i ni oko čega ne paniče nazivaju ’naivčinama’ sa glavom zabijenom u pesak. Ali, od kada to biti realan obavezno znači da će se stvari odvijati u lošem pravcu i da to treba prihvatiti kao istinu? Istina je da ako očekujete loše, loše će vas i snaći. Pa, čak iako su realni izgledi da se neka situacija raspetlja u vašu korist, i tada će se verovatno nešto izjloviti i krenuće kako ne treba.

Te i takve negativne energije mnogi nisu svesni. Ona se mnogo dobro ’skriva’, deluje kao urođena i nikad se ne dovodi u pitanje. Probajte da odgovorima na sledeća pitanja procenite nivo negativne energije koju nosite:

Da li se žalite? Često ili povremeno?
Da li često raspravljate o tome šta je sve u svetu loše i to češće nego šta je u svetu dobro (loše vreme, loši uslovi za život, užasan saobraćaj, idioti na vlasti, glupi zakoni...)?
Da li kritikujete? Koga stignete ili samo pojedince?
Da li vas privlače drame i katastrofe (da li možete sebe da odlepite od televizora kada se emituje vest o nekoj nesreći ili raspadu porodice neke od poznatih ličnosti?)
Da li krivite? Bez prestanka ili u određenim situacijama?
Da li verujete da nemate kontrolu nad mnogim ishodima u vašem životu?
Da li se osećate kao žrtva? Da li govorite kako su vam drugi uradili ’ovo i ono’?
Da li ste zahvalni za život koji sada živite ili ćete biti zahvalni kada sve, po vašem, dođe na svoje mesto?
Da li osećate da vam se stvari dešavaju ili mislite da i vi učestvujete u dešavanjima?

Dva poslednja pitanja su veoma važna.

Ako ste zahvalni samo kada vam se dešava nešto, po vašoj proceni, dobro, negativni ste. Osećati zahvalnost za bilo šta, znači biti pozitivan i sigurno znači ’pozivnicu’ za dobru energiju.

Ako verujete da vam se stvari dešavaju, sebi kačite etiketu žrtve. Tačnije, za sve loše što vam se desi krivo je ’nebo’, ’život’, ’ono nešto’, a kada su u toku povoljne okolnosti i ishodi, zaslužni ste vi i vaš rad, trud, zalaganje. Zar nije čudno da za jedno krivite spoljašnje okolnosti i druge ljude, a za drugo vi kupite svo ordenje? Nije svakom prijatno da čuje, ali sami kreirate sve vaše životne okolnosti, i dobre i loše.

Ako ste odgovorili sa DA na bilo koje od ponuđenih pitanja, imate u sebi nešto negativne energije koja ima tendenciju da se raširi.Zato, postoje načini kojima možete da se ’očistite’ i dobra vest je da je to uvek moguće.

Prvo što treba bez rezerve da prihvatite da biste sebe očistili od negativne energije je shvatite da „...kada mislite da je sve što se dešava nečija tuđa krivica, mnogo ćete patiti. Kada shvatite da sve izlazi iz vas, upoznaćete radost i mir.“ (Dalai Lama)

Drugo, morate promeniti stav. Probajte da svet i događaje posmatrate sa tačke ’šta sve može biti dobro’ umesto ’šta će se sve loše desiti’. Za ovakvu promenu je potrebno vremena i posvećenosti, ali za kratko vreme dobićete iznenađujuće rezultate. Kad god uhvatite sebe da govorite ili mislite negativno, o lošim ishodima, okrenite ploču!

I, morate da prebolite sve loše u prošlosti, da ostavite iza sebe. Morate dozvoliti da mislite intuitivno, a ne samo ’realno’. Morate da vežbate da zamišljate događaje sa pozitivnim ishodom kako biste iste privukli u svoj život. Samo tako ćete sebe ubediti da sami kreirate svaki dan i svaku situaciju.

Izaberite pozitivnu energiju i ona će privući događaje sebi slične. Iznenadiće vas koliko će se brzo u vaš život useliti dobri ljudi, dobre prilike i okolnosti. Sličnosti se privlače, zar ne?

Seven Steps for Overcoming Ego’s Hold on You by Wayne W. Dyer

Here are seven suggestions to help you transcend ingrained ideas of self-importance. All of these are designed to help prevent you from falsely identifying with the self-important ego.

1. Stop being offended.

The behavior of others isn’t a reason to be immobilized. That which offends you only weakens you. If you’re looking for occasions to be offended, you’ll find them at every turn. This is your ego at work convincing you that the world shouldn't be the way it is. But you can become an appreciator of life and match up with the universal Spirit of Creation. You can’t reach the power of intention by being offended. By all means, act to eradicate the horrors of the world, which emanate from massive ego identification, but stay in peace. As A Course in Miracles reminds us: Peace is of God, you who are part of God are not at home except in his peace. Being is of God, you who are part of God are not at home except in his peace. Being offended creates the same destructive energy that offended you in the first place and leads to attack, counterattack, and war.

2. Let go of your need to win.

Ego loves to divide us up into winners and losers. The pursuit of winning is a surefire means to avoid conscious contact with intention. Why? Because ultimately, winning is impossible all of the time. Someone out there will be faster, luckier, younger, stronger, and smarter-and back you’ll go to feeling worthless and insignificant.

You’re not your winnings or your victories. You may enjoy competing, and have fun in a world where winning is everything, but you don’t have to be there in your thoughts. There are no losers in a world where we all share the same energy source. All you can say on a given day is that you performed at a certain level in comparison to the levels of others on that day. But today is another day, with other competitors and new circumstances to consider. You’re still the infinite presence in a body that’s another day (or decade) older. Let go of needing to win by not agreeing that the opposite of winning is losing. That’s ego’s fear. If your body isn’t performing in a winning fashion on this day, it simply doesn’t matter when you aren’t identifying exclusively with your ego. Be the observer, noticing and enjoying it all without needing to win a trophy. Be at peace, and match up with the energy of intention. And ironically, although you’ll hardly notice it, more of those victories will show up in your life as you pursue them less.

3. Let go of your need to be right. 

Ego is the source of a lot of conflict and dissension because it pushes you in the direction of making other people wrong. When you’re hostile, you’ve disconnected from the power of intention. The creative Spirit is kind, loving, and receptive; and free of anger, resentment, or bitterness. Letting go of your need to be right in your discussions and relationships is like saying to ego, I’m not a slave to you. I want to embrace kindness, and I reject your need to be right. In fact, I’m going to offer this person a chance to feel better by saying that she’s right, and thank her for pointing me in the direction of truth.

When you let go of the need to be right, you’re able to strengthen your connection to the power of intention. But keep in mind that ego is a determined combatant. I’ve seen people end otherwise beautiful relationships by sticking to their need to be right. I urge you to let go of this ego-driven need to be right by stopping yourself in the middle of an argument and asking yourself, Do I want to be right or be happy? When you choose the happy, loving, spiritual mood, your connection to intention is strengthened. These moments ultimately expand your new connection to the power of intention. The universal Source will begin to collaborate with you in creating the life you were intended to live.

4. Let go of your need to be superior.

True nobility isn’t about being better than someone else. It’s about being better than you used to be. Stay focused on your growth, with a constant awareness that no one on this planet is any better than anyone else. We all emanate from the same creative life force. We all have a mission to realize our intended essence; all that we need to fulfill our destiny is available to us. None of this is possible when you see yourself as superior to others. It’s an old saw, but nonetheless true: we are all equal in the eyes of God. Let go of your need to feel superior by seeing the unfolding of God in everyone. Don’t assess others on the basis of their appearance, achievements, possessions, and other indices of ego. When you project feelings of superiority that’s what you get back, leading to resentments and ultimately hostile feelings. These feelings become the vehicle that takes you farther away from intention. A Course in Miracles addresses this need to be special and superior: Special ness always makes comparisons. It is established by a lack seen in another, and maintained by searching for, and keeping clear in sight, all lacks it can perceive.

5. Let go of your need to have more.

The mantra of ego is more. It’s never satisfied. No matter how much you achieve or acquire, your ego will insist that it isn’t enough. You’ll find yourself in a perpetual state of striving, and eliminate the possibility of ever arriving. Yet in reality you’ve already arrived, and how you choose to use this present moment of your life is your choice. Ironically, when you stop needing more, more of what you desire seems to arrive in your life. Since you’re detached from the need for it, you find it easier to pass it along to others, because you realize how little you need in order to be satisfied and at peace.

The universal Source is content with itself, constantly expanding and creating new life, never trying to hold on to its creations for its own selfish means. It creates and lets go. As you let go of ego’s need to have more, you unify with that Source. You create, attract to yourself, and let it go, never demanding that more come your way. As an appreciator of all that shows up, you learn the powerful lesson St.Francis of Assisi taught:”…it is in giving that we receive.” By allowing abundance to flow to and through you, you match up with your Source and guarantee that this energy will continue to flow.

6. Let go of identifying yourself on the basis of your achievements. 

This may be a difficult concept if you think you are your achievements. God writes all the music, God sings all the songs, God builds all the buildings, God is the source of all your achievements. I can hear your ego loudly protesting. Nevertheless, stay tuned to this idea. All emanates from Source! You and that Source are one! You’re not this body and its accomplishments. You are the observer. Notice it all; and be grateful for the abilities you’ve accumulated. But give all the credit to the power of intention, which brought you into existence and which you’re a materialized part of. The less you need to take credit for your achievements and the more connected you stay to the seven faces of intention, the more you’re free to achieve, and the more will show up for you. It’s when you attach yourself to those achievements and believe that you alone are doing all of those things that you leave the peace and the gratitude of your Source.

7. Let go of your reputation.

Your reputation is not located in you. It resides in the minds of others. Therefore, you have no control over it at all. If you speak to 30 people, you will have 30 reputations. Connecting to intention means listening to your heart and conducting yourself based on what your inner voice tells you is your purpose here. If you’re overly concerned with how you’re going to be perceived by everyone, then you’ve disconnected yourself from intention and allowed the opinions of others to guide you. This is your ego at work. It’s an illusion that stands between you and the power of intention. There’s nothing you can’t do, unless you disconnect from the power source and become convinced that your purpose is to prove to others how masterful and superior you are and spend your energy attempting to win a giant reputation among other egos. Do what you do because your inner voice always connected to and grateful to your Source-so directs you. Stay on purpose, detach from outcome, and take responsibility for what does reside in you: your character. Leave your reputation for others to debate; it has nothing to do with you. Or as a book title says: What You Think of Me Is None of My Business!

The Power of Visualization - Gregg Braden interview

"How do you start your day?" by Louise L. Hay

How do you start your day? When you first wake up in the morning, what are the first words that come out of your mouth? Do you complain? Do you worry about the day ahead of you? Do you think about what’s not working in your life?

How we start our day is often how we live our lives.

What do you say when you first look in the bathroom mirror? What do you say when you take a shower? What do you say when you get dressed? How do you leave your house for work? Do you just run out or do you say something nice. And what do you do when you get into the car. Do you slam the door and growl that you have to go to work?

I would like you to start your day tomorrow with an affirmation. When you first wake up and open your eyes, here are some affirmations you can say:

Good morning, bed. Thank you for being so comfortable, I love you.

Darling (your name), this will be a blessed day.

I am a gift to the world.

There are great experiences coming my way today.

Life loves me!

And when you get up and look in the bathroom mirror, I’d like you to say these affirmations:

Good morning Darling. I love you.

We are having a great day today.

You are a magnet for miracles.

You have time for everything you need to do.

You look great today.

An affirmation is a beginning point. It opens the way. You are saying to your subconscious mind: I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is something I can do to change.

If you continue to say the affirmation, either you will be ready to let whatever it is go, and the affirmation will become true; or it will open a new avenue to you.

Open your eyes. Open the door. Take the first step. Say these affirmations tomorrow morning. Say them for the entire week. See how you can change your life by a single thought.

Let’s affirm: Every thought I think is creating my future.

How Negative Energy Affects Your Life and How to Clear It

You know that like attracts like, right? So here’s the deal: Positive people are drawn to positive energy; negative people are drawn to negative energy.

We tend to perceive negative energy as something other people have. Sure, sometimes we feel negative – as in, “go away and leave me alone, world!” but did you know that negativity can be so ingrained in you that it goes unnoticed?

That’s because negativity sometimes wears a disguise called ‘reality’. It’s easy to rationalize that you’re ‘just being realistic’ in not daring to act on a dream – and believe it!
You may assume that positive people are not being realistic – that they’re being naive, that they are in denial with their heads stuck in the sand, that they put on fake smiles in the face of difficulty and so forth.  But are they really happy idiots or is there something to their positivity?

Consider this: since when does ‘being realistic’ necessarily mean that things will go wrong and that you have to accept that as the truth?

That doesn’t mean that being realistic is automatically negative. When you view the world from a ‘realistic’ standpoint, you can’t help but be negative IF your version of reality is negative.
If your version of reality is negative, you are conditioned to believe that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong and whatever can go right, will probably go wrong too. Your unconsciously held beliefs make you into a negative person without your being aware of it!
So – if this negativity is so ingrained in you that you don’t notice it, how do you determine whether you’re stuck in a cloud of negative energy that is attracting the wrong people, wrong situations and wrong feelings? And how can you be sure you’re not perpetuating that negativity?

Here’s a quick quiz to gauge the level of negative energy within you:

• Do you complain? All the time or just sometimes?
• Do you often discuss what’s wrong in the world more than what’s right? This includes the ‘terrible’ weather, ‘horrible’ traffic, ‘idiotic’ government, ‘lousy’ economy, ‘stupid’ in-laws, etc.
• Do you criticize? All the time or just certain people?
• Are you attracted to drama and disaster (can you unglue yourself from the TV when there’s a news story of a disaster and can you avoid getting involved in the lives of dysfunctional celebrities?)
• Do you blame? All the time or just certain situations?
• Do you believe that you have no control over most of your results?
• Do you feel like a victim? Do you talk about people doing things to you?
• Are you grateful for what is or will you be grateful when things finally start going right for you?
• Do you feel like things are happening to you? Or do you feel that they are happening through you?

This last two points are important:
If you’re not grateful except when things go right, you are negative. Gratitude is positive. If you are grateful for what is (including the unpleasant school of life lessons, then you can invite more and more positive energy into your life.
Believing that things happen to you puts you in the role of victim; then it’s easy to be negative because it’s convenient to give up that power. So consider this alternative: who or what is to blame when GOOD things happen to you? Do you acknowledge that you are responsible for the good things – as in, you worked hard, you earned it, etc… but blame external events or other people for your failures? So how come, when good things happen, they are a result of what you do, but when bad things happen, they are not your fault?
Nobody likes to hear that. It takes courage to accept that you create your life experience!
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you are holding on to negative energy to some degree! To clear your negative energy and raise your vibration, you will need to retrain yourself to choose a positive attitude.
Here’s another interesting idea to consider: have you noticed that positive people seem to get what they want out of life, and even if things don’t go their way, they still enjoy their lives… while negative people whine and moan about their misfortunes and even the good things in their lives?
To clear negative energy, try this 3 -step process:
1. Take ownership: “When you think everything is someone else’s fault, you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy.” – the Dalai Lama
2. Cancel negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts. This takes practice, dedication and making a decision to see the world through the eyes of “what can go right” instead of “what can go wrong.” You’ll have to catch yourself anytime you are acting out or speaking out your negativity, and immediately change your tune.
3. Use the Love or Above Spiritual Toolkit to clear your energy and bring more light and love into your life;  visualize the positive instead of getting sucked into negativity; overcome past conditioning; think intuitively from the soul instead from ‘reality’; create a new, desired reality in your imagination and manifest it in the outer world. Nobody wants negative energy to permeate their lives, yet many of us allow it. But we allow it unconsciously, based on past conditioning that suggests an inevitable outcome to certain situations. When you overcome that conditioning and realize that the future is NOT cast in stone but that you have more control over your circumstances than you believe – then you can begin to consciously design your life.

What’s going to happen then? Your positive energy will magnetically attract what you consider to be good and right for you: people, situations, things… and you’ll notice a huge, huge increase in your happiness and inner peace.

Why not choose positive energy? Make some changes within, and you’ll quickly see positive changes in your life. Enjoy the good feelings and abundance!

Attitude Makes All The Difference!

Robert De Vincenzo, the great Argentine golfer, once won a tournament and, after receiving the check and smiling for the cameras, he went to the clubhouse and prepared to leave. Some time later, he walked alone to his car in the parking lot and was approached by a young woman.

She congratulated him on his victory and then told him that her child was seriously ill and near death. She did not know how she could pay the doctor’s bills and hospital expenses.

De Vincenzo was touched by her story, and he took out a pen and endorsed his winning check for payment to the woman. "Make some good days for the baby," he said as he pressed the check into her hand.

The next week he was having lunch in a country club when a Professional Golf Association official came to his table. "Some of the boys in the parking lot last week told me you met a young woman there after you won that tournament." De Vincenzo nodded. "Well," said the official, "I have news for you. She’s a phony. She has no sick baby. She’s not even married. She fleeced you, my friend."
"You mean there is no baby who is dying?" said De Vincenzo.
"That’s right," said the official.
"That’s the best good news I’ve heard all week." De Vincenzo said.
