Many of our patterns primarily address the habits we consider dysfunctional, negative or destructive … the patterns we wish to change. The principle of patterns is important for anyone who tends to break resolutions repeatedly or who has as patterns of incompleteness or repeated failures (such as three or four marriages or quitting smoking 5 times). Any pattern tends to repeat itself until we closely examine what’s going on and intervene and break the pattern by doing something else. This principle highlights our conditioned habits and tendencies and helps us take responsibility for them … not by endless struggling against old habits, but by doing something different.
Ever wonder if “you’re not suppose to have this or that, or perhaps God or your higher self does not want you to have that?” Or maybe you think, “it’s better just to let God decide what you should have? So perhaps, you really shouldn’t ask for anything?”
Why would you not deserve a wonderful and abundant reality? Why are you creating such a reality for yourself? There is also no reason, Christ spoke about this when he said, “What Father would give stones to his children who are asking for food.”
We are all divine beings and we project our consciousness into these temporary illusions. Each of us is worthy of all the good of this world. In fact, we are creating our reality in cooperation with the Divine and our fellow beings. Having stated this, another truth is that we are here to learn to create ever more positive realities that simulate the harmony, abundance and love, in Oneness with all that is.
… Is the Grass Greener on the Other Side?
NO, the truth is that we always take ourselves with us; even over the fence! Each of us create our own reality and we are all creating realities which offer us the most opportunities for personal growth.
For example, when we are unhappy, sometimes, we feel we would be happier living in a different place, in a different job, or a different relationship. Other times, we envy others for what they have or their good health or other life factors. The truth is that we are forgetting that we and they are the sole creators of our realities.
When living within our created reality, there is a distinction between who we are and our life changing experiences. For one, we need to realize that we are a constant immutable unchanging essence we call our Higher Self. It is this higher Self that pays witness to our life changing events and experiences. Even though, we create our reality, it is important to understand, that we are not the stories we tell ourselves. Our self-worth and security are not dependent on the aspects of our stories or how they change in our lives.
We all have Writing on our Walls and at some point, if you’re fortunate, you’ll hit the wall of truth and wonder what you’ve been doing with your life. At some point in our lives we are ready to set down our bags of stuff we’ve been carrying for so long. At that point, you’ll feel highly motivated to find out what frees you and helps you to be kinder and more loving, less ego driven and confused. At that point, you’ll actually want to be present—present as you go through a door, present as you take a step closer to your true self, present to being triggered and understanding why, present to simmering, present to the ebb and flow of your emotions and thoughts. Day in and day out, you’ll find that you’ll notice sooner when you’re hooked, and it will be easier to react with emotional intelligence. If you continue to do this, a kind of shedding happens—a shedding of old habits, a shedding of being run around by pleasure and pain, a shedding of being held hostage by other worldly concerns.
Each year I take a walk with 10 beautiful souls who seriously desire change and transformation in their lives and I have a couple of openings left for this year. We begin our journey in October and end at the end of June. Our walk together is intensively focused on both the self-discovery process and emotional intelligence and it requires a nine-month commitment. A lesson will be sent to you by email each week and please note there is homework involved. The participants will also have a one-hour one on one intensive session with me each week to review any assignments, answer any questions or anything else related to the homework exercises, to your personal discovery work and transformation.
