The Blame Game




When was the last time that you blamed someone for what they did and it worked for you?
As we watch our current chosen leaders the only thing that seems to be consistent is the fact that each side accuses the other of wrong doing. This reminds me of watching my children in grade school.


When we were in the fifth grade, the only choice we had to get our point across and stay out of trouble was to blame the other side.
It worked well for my brother when we were growing up, each time he did something that was inappropriate, the only tool he had was to blame me. For him it worked because my mother never doubted what he had to say. Some families have the “golden child,” in my family it was my brother. What actually takes place is that when something works for us, we continue to repeat the same pattern.

Our lives are formed and lived with a series of repeated beliefs, behaviors, patterns and habits. As individuals we never change what works until or unless at some point our choice stops working. Then we have to consider another way of believing or behaving.
As children we model our parents even when we do not like what they do, it is the only role model that we have. This continues throughout our life with our choices and how we create our values and our morals.

I know that for me, my choice for a life partner was based on the role model of my mother. My father died when I was fourteen so there was not a lot of time to model his patterns and behaviors. However, one thing I learned very well from my mother was that the world, according to her, was a very simple black and white world. It was either her way of doing or it was wrong. There never was a middle ground. I knew from the start that I wanted to be different, I did everything I knew to be “not” like her. I wanted to find people in my life that viewed the world with multiple colors, lots of choices and perspectives.

I found a man that I thought was more like what I had envisioned than what I knew. I think many of us follow this type of reasoning. What I was completely unaware of however, were the unconscious beliefs, patterns and behaviors that were deeply embedded in my psyche. Consequently, I chose what was familiar to me. Like it or not we tend to choose what is comfortable and familiar to us; I chose someone who was more of a missing father and more of a true black/white thinker than I knew. My husband was 16 years older and he definitely had beliefs, patterns and behaviors that were akin to my mother’s.

As an example, this was in 1971 and I being a product of the 60’s, an era of definite change in our America youth’s ways of life, had my own views and wanted to work. I always had worked, I am what some have called a workaholic. However, my husband, being of a different mind-set believed that women from his family background did not work. I was not one of the stay-at-home barefoot and pregnant type of women. This was the very beginning of a long and deep learning curve for me. What it was for him I can only surmise was complete discomfort and unrest.
Because each of us was steeped in our own beliefs, patterns and habitsit became much easier to blame the other one for our turbulence and unhappiness. While my marriage continued on for 15 years, the road to happiness only got dimmer.

Over the last few decades of my life I have had many opportunities to reconsider how I view my life and my choices. I have come to know that as much as we want to change and alter our beliefs and patterns, they are steeped in deep and long held habits. At some point in our life, each of us consider what is important. What do we actually believe and hold to be true for ourselves?
When I teach a class on Ethics, for instance, I always ask my participants what do they believe for themselves. Do you go to the same church as your parents because that is how you were raised, or is what that particular religion preaches actually true for you, deep in your Soul and your own true knowing? What morals and values do you hold as fact and non-negotiable for you? Is it absolutely impetrative that those in your world are honest? Is it OK for those in your life to tell lies? Most of my class would say it is never OK to be dishonest, yet for some it is OK to lie; they don’t view it the same as being dishonest. Are you of the same political party because your family has “always” been a…

I ask if it is OK in their world, their circle of influence, for people to steal? For some it is OK if it is just a little thing, for others never steal a thing; and yet we have people all of the time stealing our ideas, our beliefs and getting away with it. Why, because it is easier for them to blame the other guy than to stand up for their own morals and values. The excuse we give its that is has always been done this way. It is our tradition!

For centuries it has been the norm to steal a woman’s or child’s virginity and self-respect. It was considered “normal” because women and children were possessions; women and children were property. For many of us globally this continues because it is once again tradition. Some actually believe it is spiritual and based in their beliefs.
What I know for sure is that we are in a time of crisis. Each of us is at a point in our life where we must choose for ourselves what we think, how we believe, what our values and our morals are. There is no right or wrong in your choice; you simply choose what is right for you in your Soul knowing.

We are living in a time where the world as we once knew it is disintegrating before our very eyes. I know this because I watch it every day in the actions of those in power and who we chose as our leaders. The fighting and the squabbling get louder because it is how it has always been done. For some reason the more we blame the other side, the more correct we are. The louder we get the more accurate it is. Like children, we resort to what we remember as ways that worked for us as children; but it doesn’t work because the blame game is dying along with our old traditions. As humans we cannot stay the same. It is the anthesis of who we are as Soul.

Religion teaches us that we are humans with a soul experience; that as humans we each have a soul. This my friends, is also the anthesis of truth. Each of us is Soul a Divine Loving, Creative and Joyful expression of perfection. Each of us was gifted with the greatest and most powerful gift imaginable. We each have FREE WILL. We each are free to create our own life according to our self. Never is there a Divine Energy that will tell us what is right or wrong, it simply never existed and never will. Our gift of free will and creativity is how we are fashioned. We are created out of Diving Love, an unconditional all expressing, all consuming love that is everything, everywhere. We are created of Compassion, a Divine Wisdom that says we each have the compassion and soul-knowing to do and to be what is in right order for our self. We are created from the Joy of the greatest energy of Divine Love because that is all the Godhead energy who created each of us knows, pure joy. Each Soul is a co-creator Being a living, breathing expression of perfection. In this perfection we are all issued one direct edict. DO NO HARM.


It was the first edict issued by the Godhead energy and the Godhead Council of 12 Masters who are responsible for this universe that we inhabit. This, my dear brothers and sisters is who each of us are. Divine Energetic Co-Creator Beings with the Divine Love of all that is. There are no mistakes, no failures, no one to blame because each of us has the free will to create our life according to what is in divine right order for each of us.

We are now remembering who we are and all of the fighting and the discord that is prevalent in our world today is how we as humans are choosing to lay down and dissolve the past world of having to have more, be more and claim power over another. This was the old third domain world we created to learn what power and more was like. What was it like to live apart from Soul-Truth and Soul-Knowing? What was it like to have humans declare that some were more powerful, more important, deserved more or are more loved and accepted by our Creator that others? We are done with that now. There is no one to blame and the blame game is over. There is a Universal Supply in the energy of Divine Love and no one is left behind or without, it is impossible. This is true Soul Living and when you quiet yourself and listen to the voice within, you too will know it.
Now we are in the new fifth domain; a world being created by each of us based in the truth of Divine Love, Divine Compassion and Divine Joy in a world where there is never harm to another living expression of life. We have for eons asked for a world of peace, first we have to release, dissolve, the old ways before we can create what we choose. That is the way of it. My question to each of you is are you ready to reclaim yourself? Are you ready to lay down the past and live in the new world that we are creating together?

What is Spirituality and Self-Realization?




In Sanskrit, Spirituality means Adhyatma. The word ‘adhyatma’ is derived from two words – adhi meaning ‘pertaining to’ and Atma meaning the ‘Soul’. Therefore Spirituality means ‘pertaining to the Soul’.

Spirituality is the process of leading the total energy of the body to the Soul. It encompasses the “sat” i.e. “eternal truth”. It gives answers to a lot of questions like who am I, who runs the world, what is karma, what is liberation, how are karmas charged, etc...

Many a times, people tend to mix spirituality with religion, although they both are completely different. Religion and religious practices help a person to refrain from doing bad deeds and instead encourage him to do good deeds. Good deeds helps one bind merit karmas which in turn bring worldly happiness and bad deeds bind demerit karmas that bring difficulties and suffering. While spirituality raises one above good and bad deeds and directs one’s journey towards liberation which means freedom from the bondage of good or bad karma.

In spirituality, one becomes separate from all good and bad deeds as he realizes he is really a Soul. Unless and until one knows Soul (one’s original identity) one cannot attain liberation. One needs to realize their true Self. Right now what one knows is all about his/her worldly identity. The way in which one is identified in the worldly life is different from person to person, but everyone’s real identity is the same i.e. each one is really a Pure Soul. To know who we really are is called “Self-Realization”. Spirituality and Self-Realization go hand in hand.

Spiritual knowledge or spiritual science is required for attaining Self-Realization. When one knows ‘who am I’ and ‘really who is the doer’ in this world, he is able to come out of sufferings and miseries of day to day life. By attaining Self Realization, people not only become happy and peaceful in their worldly life, but also those who are really seekers, they develop a goal for themselves to be free from all karmas and direct their life towards attaining liberation from the vicious cycle of birth and death. Through Self Realization, the ignorance gets broken and one can experience the Self by the direct light. Lord Mahavir, Lord Krishna, Lord Rama, Lord Shiva achieved a state which is beyond our intellect and ego and hence they are worshipped as God.
The ultimate purpose of life is to get Self-Realization, complete all the karmas and attain ultimate liberation. But in this fast paced lifestyle is it really possible to do so? How? There are 2 paths to liberation : 

1. The step-by-step path of Self-Realization which includes penance, fasting, meditation and leaving the worldly comforts; and
 2. The stepless path to liberation through Akram Vignan which is the new age spiritual science, whereby one gets Self realized only in 2 hours by the grace of Gnani Purush.

The need of the scriptures is only until one meets a Living Gnani and Self-Realization is attained. Once we achieve this spiritual knowledge, we can be free from all worldly sufferings and attain ultimate salvation.

How To Connect With Your Inner Happiness And Feel Great For The Rest Of Your Life



The only place to find true happiness is within yourself. The reason why there are so many unhappy people is because most people try to find happiness outside themselves and they never look within.

Happiness is always with you and you can access it anytime – even if you are deeply depressed. However, if you keep looking in the wrong direction you simply won’t be able to feel and experience happiness in your life.

Acquiring wealth, prestige, power, fame… may be exciting the moment you get those things, but it is surely not a recipe to happiness. You fight and struggle for years to get your dream villa and once you have it, you realize that life isn’t much different than it was before.
So, was it really worth, wasting all those years fighting and struggling just for a short moment of excitement?

On the other hand, if you follow your heart and do what you love, you will feel great every day and you will be connected constantly with the happiness within you. On top of that you may acquire wealth, fame… and all sorts of other little gifts at the same time without really making any particular effort.

You are already happy, fulfilled, abundant… within, you may just not be able to experience it, because all sorts of negative thoughts and beliefs may block the doorway to your inner treasures.
What can you do to push away those clouds of negative thoughts and beliefs in order to access your inner happiness?

Calm down, relax and let go. Let go of everything for a moment – your past, what needs to be done today, what may happen tomorrow… dive within and disconnect from your mind for a moment.

Once you let go, you will suddenly feel it – a glimpse of happiness, a deep inner peace, a sudden strength you never experienced before…
That’s Who You Really Are: Happiness, Love, Peace, Freedom… Anything Else You May Think About Yourself Is A Mind Created Illusion. An Illusion You Have Started Taking For Real And Therefore Became Reflected In Your Outer Experiences And Circumstances.


Take a few moments every now and then to go within and become aware of your true nature. Close your eyes, calm your mind and dive within. Simply observe and BE. Don’t expect anything in particular and don’t judge whatever might or might not happen.

The Easiest Way To Experience Your True Nature – Happiness, Peace, Love, Fulfillment… – Is In Deep Silence, When Your Mind Is Absolutely Still.

It is not complicated, but it will need some practice to calm your mind. Every day, take a few minutes and go within. Make it a daily routine, even if it is difficult sometimes and even if you have the impression that nothing special is happening.

All you’ve ever been looking for in life is already within you and that’s also the only place where you can find it. It’s impossible to fulfill your deepest yearnings on the outside.
Once You Connect With Your True Nature Within, Abundance, Love, Fulfillment… Will Also Manifest In Your Material World, Because Your Outer Circumstances And Experiences Are Only A Reflection Of Your Inner State Of Being.

A long as you are not aware of your “inner happiness”, accumulating material things, titles, honors… won’t make you happy. Even after you have done all the hard work and accomplished whatever you desired, you will still feel more or less the same. For someone on the outside it may look like your life has changed completely, but to you it won’t really feel that different.


Once again, make it a habit and go within, into deep silence for at least a few minutes every day. Just watch and observe without spinning your mind, without judging and reflecting – simply BE.
Within, in deep silence you will find whatever you have been longing for and even much more.

4 Little Ways to Improve Your Well-being and Happiness at Home or at Work




1. Inside Out

What you say to yourself on the inside will have an impact on how you act on the outside. So, try to be your own coach by advising yourself in the way a good friend would talk to you. If you were advising a good friend, you would use positive words and ‘big them up’ because you care and want them to do well. Talk to yourself in the same way and resist negative language, as sometimes, these thoughts can become self-fulfilling prophecies. Beating yourself up about something on the inside is not going to be as productive as asking yourself, 'what have I learnt?' and 'what can I do now or differently next time?’.
We all feel low sometimes and get emotional and sad, which is natural and human. How you deal with these periods on the outside will be directed by what you say to yourself on the inside. Give it a try, because when you realise how powerful your internal voice is, you’ll try to resist from ever thinking a negative thought again!

2. Being + in a - Situation

When you arrive in what appears to be a - situation either at work or at home, immediately put aside any - comments or - references from people. The ‘I said this would happen’ or ‘so and so should have...’ approach from those involved is not going help you spot the route out of the problem. Instead, start asking questions to reassess where the project should be? Then find out how long is left to get it there? What actions are absolutely essential to the project and can they be completed now? What actions are desirable and could be included if time allows? By ignoring the - crowd and always having a + ‘can do’ attitude you’ll find the path out of the problem and others will soon follow too. Once you’ve helped find the best possible solution, given the circumstances, you’ll need to evaluate the process, and encourage those involved to learn from the experience so they can avoid the problems in the future. Remember ‘Being positive in a negative situation isn’t naive, It’s leadership’.





3. Up the Happy %

‘Do more of the things that make you happy’ is a phase you have probably heard and you know that it is right, but find it hard to make it happen. Try to look at it as a % of your day, your week or even the next hour. Start with the small things that make you happy and plan in the bigger things for dates in the future. Although exercise and sleep should be the foundations of your overall well-being, it’s the small things and those that are more personal to you, that will have an immediate impact on your happiness. It could be making time to go outside on a nice day, as this will put you in a positive mood and broaden your thinking. Perhaps take up a new hobby.Try turning off the news for a while and have breaks from social media, as this will encourage you to connect with the world in front of you more! One thing that really helps is developing your relationships with others. Staying in touch with family and friends makes a big difference and even spending money on them is good for your happy %. Listening to music is a good place to start, because it is so influential on the brain that it has the ability to change the way you think and look at the world. Whatever you do, you can start increasing your happy % almost immediately, so act now and up your Happy %.

4. Your Distance Travelled

We all fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. We let it distract us, sometimes to the point that we forget how far we have come in our own life. Before beginning a new personal journey, consider where you are now. If you have already started, look back at where you were. Visualise yourself and how you’ll feel once you have completed the goal. Praise yourself for what you have achieved already and focus on the next step. Remember these are your steps, at a pace that works for you and your other commitments. If you over compare yourself to others you will lose your focus. Break your journey into smaller manageable chunks, and before you know it, you’ll have reached what you originally visualised for yourself. You are even likely to start exceeding your expectations. Make the journey more about you and stop competing with others and start competing with yourself. Sometimes you have to play a 'long game' and usually the journey is as much fun as the destination!

Critical Thinking: Is ‘Toxic Masculinity’ The Problem?




A number of days ago, a brand released a short film that was aimed at men, and this was there to remind men of their “toxic masculinity”. In addition to this part, it showed men how to act in a more civilised way.

In the past, this company would share adverts that were radically different, with them being right behind masculinity. Now, however, they have changed their tune and have basically jumped on the ‘masculinity is bad’ bandwagon.

The Other Side

A number of people, both men and women, have thought about whether the same company will do a video aimed at women, taking a closer look at “toxic femininity”. This would make sense, considering there are positive and negative traits associated with both energies, and especially if this company is actually interested in doing the right thing, as opposed to just using this issue to make more money.

It is unlikely that this would take place, though, due to how men are generally demonized by the mainstream and women are generally idealised. Ultimately, it is easy to lay into men; they are an easy target – this must be part of ‘male privilege.’

A Little While Earlier

Before this short film came out, the American Psychological Association (APA) released its first-ever guidelines designed to help mental health professionals assist men and boys with their ‘toxic masculinity’. It was said that traditional masculinity was, in general, harmful, and this related to traits such as: stoicism, competitiveness, personal ambition, self-reliance, courage and aggression.

Taking this into account, it is not just toxic masculinity that men and boys need to root out; they also need to root out every other trait that is associated with masculinity. Still, as this is a respected organisation, they must know what they are talking about.

Back To Reality

Another way of looking at this would be to say that the reason this organisation has come out with all this stuff is because they have a hidden agenda. On one level, it can seem as though this organisation is there to actually help people with their mental and emotional challenges but, this is just a facade.

Running through the heart of this organisation will be the intention to indoctrinate the masses. This is then just another arm that the establishment uses to direct the masses in a certain direction.

The Perfect Outcome

According to this organisation, then, a well-adjusted man will be someone that has removed all of his masculinity - a castrated man. Unlike a man who has embraced this side of his nature, he will be an example to others.
But while this will be seen as what a man should be like, it is unlikely to lead to a very fulfilling existence for the man. For one thing, man like this is going to end up being very passive and to lead a very reactive life.

An Important Point

What also can’t be overlooked here is that masculine traits are not only found in men; both men and women have them to varying degrees. This comes down to the fact that men and women are made up of both masculine and feminine energy.

This is the plane of duality after all, which is why it is not possible to have one aspect without the other. Naturally, the key is to make peacewith both sides and to integrate these two energies.
A Strange Scenario

So, as both of these aspects are an important part of life, there is no point in trying to demonize one aspect. Also, if women also have the masculine energy within them, it means that they can display ‘toxic masculinity’.

If one aspect is demonised and it is believed that only men embody this aspect, it is going to be normal for men to be seen primitive beings that need to be domesticated by the more evolved fairer sex. When a society is made up of men who have been worn down and are drowning in their own self-loathing, it is going to be a lot easier to keep everyone in line.

An Easy Target

It is possible that the people at the top don’t give a damn about masculinity or femininity and merely want to enslave as many people as possible? Without strong men in society, women will be put in a vulnerable position, and this makes it easier for other ‘tribes’ to come in and to take over.

This is, of course, one of the reasons why men have aggression, so that they can protect women and children from predators and provide the energy that is needed to build a society. It might seem as though times have changed and that there are no external threats any more, yet a simple look at what has been taking place recently will reveal that this is an illusion.

Back To the Main Point

Anyway, when it comes to ‘toxic masculinity’, bullying, violence and controlling behaviour are often put forward. It could be said that these are all examples of what happens when a man is being controlled by his aggression.

Even so, to say that this means that aggression is therefore bad wouldn’t be accurate; aggression is an energy that is an inherent part of men (and women) and is neither good nor bad. What typically defines whether a man uses this force in a constructive or destructive way is what his early years were like.

The Big Question

Ergo, instead of purely focusing on ‘toxic masculinity’ and demonising men, what really needs to be looked into is why some men are behaving in destructive ways. Currently, the impression that is given is that a man consciously chooses to act in a violent manner, for instance.
Based on this, if they are given guidance in regards to how to behave, they will simply change. For example, a man who goes around beating people up will then stop doing this once he realises it is the wrong thing to do.

A Deeper Look

What has most likely played a part in why some men are unable handle their own aggression and to behave in a civilised manner is the lack of guidance that they received growing up. Their father probably wasn’t around during this incredibly important time in their life or if he was, he might not have been available.

The trouble is that in today’s world, it is often believed that the only purpose that a man serves when it comes to children is to provide the sperm and then to provide money later on. The guidance that a father provides in terms of showing a boy how to handle his aggression, amongst other things, is then not even going to be something that is considered.

Conclusion

So many children are being raised by single mothers nowadays, and this is means that there are plenty of boys out there that are not getting the guidance that they desperately need. Perhaps these boys will grow up to show signs of ‘toxic masculinity’ or maybe they will go to the other extreme, coming across as passive, depressed and lacking sense of direction.
With this in mind, if someone actually cares about men, and society as a whole, and isn’t just interested in using this issue to vent and to look virtuous, one of their biggest concerns will be to do what they can to keep families together or at the very least, to make sure that fathers are not cast aside. ‘Toxic masculinity’ is then an effect of a far greater problem - the breakdown of the family.

Overcoming Fear And Taking Action

Are You Still Struggling with Affirmations?




Many people struggle with affirmations. They find they’re not comfortable voicing them, or they aren’t sure what to say exactly because the words feel like a lie. Some people insist that specific words should be used while others should be avoided, and that because affirmations are typically about something that you want to change in your life, it’s important to “fake it until you make it.”
The most important aspect of the affirmation is how you feel about it. Therefore, if the words make you feel uncomfortable or feel like a lie, it’s probably a good idea to try rewording that affirmation.
Yes, in theory, you can repeat the affirmation that you don’t believe, but unless you can make yourself believe in the possibility of the words, you may actually be reinforcing the behavior that you’re seeking to change.

Perhaps you would like to shed 10, 20, 50, or even 100 pounds. One affirmation could be to repeat “I am beautiful and slender.”

Most people I know who want to lose weight would struggle with this sort of affirmation. When they look in the mirror, they’re seeing the fat instead of a beautiful slender person.
Similarly, people who suffer from chronic illnesses may wish to attract health into their lives. They dutifully repeat, “I am healthy and strong and filled with energy,” while feeling the pain throughout their bodies.

Another person sees a stack of bills and no money in the checking account to pay for them, yet states, “Money flows to me, I am prosperous.”
The trouble with the “fake it until you make it” concept is that even in the moment that you’re repeating your positive affirmations, your mind is still whispering negative messages like, “Who do you think you are kidding,” “Yeah right,” and probably several others to bring your morale back down.

Negative messages tend to build up over the years. You’ve probably had them drilled into your psyche until they feel true. It takes time and conscious effort to overcome them.
You may have post-it notes around your home and office reminding you that your perfect mate is there, but if you consciously or not retort, “Why would anyone be interested in me?” then your mate will never arrive. Or they do, but they will be far from perfect or treat you badly.
When the negative thoughts outweigh the positive ones, you’re not in alignment with what you want. You need to be in alignment with what you want in order to attract whatever it is into your life.

One of the greatest teachers of the Law of Attraction and using affirmations in your life is Louise L. Hay. Rather than suggesting you write or verbally repeat messages that you obviously don’t believe, she suggests you soften the language. One of the phrases that she recommends and that I have found works very well is, “I am open and receptive to….”

The reason this works is because it’s not setting you up in a lie as long as you are open to receiving what you’re affirming.

The individual facing illness can honestly state “I am open and receptive to improved health” just as the person who is short on funds can say “I am open and receptive to money from unknown sources.”

By declaring your openness to an idea of a healthier body or having love in your life, you can feel the shift in your energy. You’re hopeful and optimistic instead of feeling like you’re a liar. Once you’ve become hopeful, you’re much more likely to see the results you desire begin to manifest in your lives. Then as you lose a pound or two, are able to increase your physical activity a little, or you find a few dollars, you have increased faith in the possibility.

If you’ve struggled with using affirmations in the past, are you open to the idea that they can work? If the answer is yes, then play with some wording that feels good to you.


Write down several ideas and see how you feel when you say them aloud. If you hear little voices disagreeing with your words, try a different one. Keep writing and trying until you find something that feels good to you. Once you’ve found the words that feel right, you’re ready to start affirming manifesting what you really want.

Is Your Job Threatening Your Mental Health?





Without our jobs we can hardly make a living, it is important to work, but in some situations, changes have to be made to adjust and save your mental health. Working every day at a job keeps you active, you can sustain a better social life by interacting with others out there, and if you love your job then you are on a good lane. However, some people find it difficult to identify positive additions to their lives while working. Every day seems like a burden waking up and going to a job you hate. Over time it can take a toll on your mental health. Some signs that you need to change your job before it ruins your mental health have been discussed below.

The thought of resuming is depressing

If you do not feel excited about heading out to start your job in the morning, then it is more of a stress than a benefit. Many people content with deep anxieties at the thought of resuming work every day. In such situations, it is difficult to focus and have a good day at work accomplishing official tasks and sending those reports. If you feel wary about your job this way, it may be doing more damage to your mental health.


No time for anything else but work

According to Walter Smith some people have not been able to achieve a sustainable work/life balance successfully. As it seems, they hold pivotal positions at work and are needed before all decisions are made. You cannot have even a few minutes of quality family time; the absence of breaks creates a distance between you and family. Over time, you begin to regret and hate your job. At this point, it is necessary to consider some options as a change in your life.
You have no friends at work. Interacting with others at work can help you cope with the job. But in a situation where you develop a dislike for the office, it will be more difficult to interact with your colleagues. The outcome of such an attitude is isolation. Becoming isolated in the workplace is worse because it leads to depression and deterioration in your mental health. Staying much longer at that job will be bad for your mental health.

 Make money from home




It is a great idea to get help when you experience these feelings. Talk with the HR or simply find a job that you will enjoy.

[30:46] QUOTES: “Emotions are the end product of past experiences.” [3:20] “The best way to predict your future is to create it, not from the known but from the unknown. What thoughts do you want to fire and wire in your brain? What behaviors do you want to demonstrate in one day? The active rehearsing, then mentally closing your eyes and rehearsing the action." [13:15] “The moment you start feeling abundant and worthy, you are generating wealth. The moment you're empowered and feel it, you're beginning to step towards your success.

Mary Morrissey Reveals What Controls Your Results and How to Get What YOU Want via @marymorrissey ‏



Mary Morrissey shares the determining factor that governs our results. Many of us have had dreams or goals that year after year are left unfulfilled or maybe a portion of those dreams are fulfilled, but we are still left lacking and wanting. If you want to create the life that you love living on demand, then you must stop the way you are thinking, and have a paradigm shift in your thinking. Paradigms control our results in the quadrants of health and well-being, vocation, love and relationships, and time and money freedom. Understanding how paradigms do this will change the way you think and ultimately create the life that you love living. When you learn to shift the way you think about the control you have over your life, you shift your paradigms and you will begin to see results in your life quickly, and with greater ease than you've ever experienced. To learn more about shifting your paradigms with hundreds of like-minded people seeking to live lives they love living, I encourage you to check out DreamBuilder LIVE, an immersive 3-day experience with me, Mary Morrissey, and hundreds of other Dream Builders!



How Often Are You Aware Of Your Intent?





Learn to practice awareness of intent, to move out of your painful feelings and into your inner peace.

Those of you who have been practicing Inner Bonding know that the basis of the Inner Bonding process is the intent to learn about loving yourself and others.
It is the intent to learn that moves you out of your left-brain wounded ego self and into the connection with your right brain so you can connect with your essence and Spirit. Choosing the intent to learn is the bridge from the left brain to the right, from our programmed thinking to our ability to access truth, love, compassion and joy.

Remembering to Learn

We all have the ability to choose to learn at any moment. One of the challenges with making this choice is that the wounded self doesn't want you to make this choice. The moment you truly choose to learn about loving yourself, the wounded self is temporarily off-line and no longer in charge. The choice to open to learning about loving yourself and connecting with your guidance is what creates the loving adult, and in those moments when the loving adult is in charge, the wounded self is not operating.
Since the wounded self is afraid to be off-line, it does all it can to make you forget to choose the intent to learn!

While it is not hard to choose to learn and grow, it is hard to REMEMBER to make this choice, because of the fear of the wounded self. It wants you to continue going to your automatic, unconscious choice to protect/control - the choice we all learned when we were very young.
Therefore, it takes awareness to move into the intent to learn. It takes vigilance to be aware and present enough to consciously choose your intent rather than allow your wounded self to automatically take over.

How To Remember?
This is the challenging part. How do you remember to stay open to learning when your wounded self is determined to stay in charge?
The answer lies in Step One of Inner Bonding - being present and aware of your feelings. Your feelings are always instantly letting you know your intent. When you feel scared, alone, anxious, depressed, stressed, angry, hurt, empty, jealous and so on, you know that your wounded self is in charge. Your wounded self is thinking thoughts and taking actions that are causing these painful feelings.

What Do You Believe About Your Painful Feelings?

One of the problems with staying in Step One is that the wounded self generally has false beliefs about painful feelings, such as, "It's wrong to have these feelings," or "There is nothing I can do about these feelings so it is best to ignore them," or "I can't handle these feelings," or "I'm not the cause of these feelings - they are coming from people, events, or the past."
If you have these beliefs, then you are likely doing all you can to avoid feeling your feelings - ignoring them, numbing them out with various addictions, judging yourself for them, and/or making others responsible for them.

The truth is that these painful feelings are valuable INFORMATION that you are in your wounded self, thinking thoughts and taking actions that are not loving to you, not in your highest good, and not coming from a Source of truth.

When you are willing to feel your feelings - and choose to take 100% responsibility for them - you will then move into the intent to learn. Therefore, awareness of intent and awareness of feelings go hand in hand. Your painful wounded feelings let you know that you are in the intent to avoid/control. This knowledge gives you the choice to change your intent to learning about loving yourself. The moment you shift your intent, you will actually start to feel better, because even just choosing the intent to learn moves you out of your wounded self and into your loving adult.
All of this takes a lot of practice. I hope you all start to practice, and then keep practicing, the Inner Bonding process!
