You Can Destroy It Every Time

You can destroy the old pattern every time, and put yourself in your new place of choice.

Whatever the old pattern is, it cannot move forward with you, because where you are now is a contradiction of it.

So, if the old pattern gets your attention once in a while, simply notice it;  after all, you may have gone for a short ride with it, but then you can move to the new place you have built.

I found myself torn apart after a ride with the old pattern, until I began creating a small graphic by simply writing “happy” all over it.

After a while, I realized that I could move into my wonderful new great place in my mind, which has now manifested into a wonderful, comfortable place with great surroundings.

My choice, ride breakneck along with terror, or climb off and walk down a beautiful and peaceful path.

The adrenalin fear and excitement generated by terror is no longer compelling.

I have much more powerful feelings along the lines of joy.

They let me take my tiny, repetitive steps to build my new career and product line.

My new feelings of joy and peace let me guide my choices of experiences and companions.

They let me live in a new way, one which I enjoy.

I am in touch with and immersed in joy every day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Really Good Care

How am I taking really good care of myself?

I am surrounding myself with beauty.

I am giving myself easy access to all my projects.

I am getting so many of them done!!!!

It feels so great.

I am eating really good quality food which I cook myself.

I am in a comfortable environment.

I am doing what I love to do, creating beautiful things.

I am basing my life on what is happening now, not the past.

Immediate and Remote

My immediate past has nothing to do with my remote past.

As I have dealt with the issues of the past, I have replaced the way I approach things and the way I view things.

Therefore, I have replaced my past.

I can now move forward from a firm and healthy footing.

My immediate past is full of good.

Good friends.

Good occupation.

Good food.

Good exercise.

Good marriage.

Good family.

Good.

The old attachments have been loosened and replaced.

Any loose straggling thoughts can be dealt with effectively.

I have a happy and resilient way of living.

I do things I love and that I was meant to do.

That is the meaning of my life.

Wholeness

I am thinking about wholeness.

What we do to achieve it.

As though we are broken.

And yet, those experiences that tear us apart are only our feelings, our reactions to difficult situations.

One I get enough distance to recover, I realize there was a trigger, and then an escalation, and then I assigned certain meanings to those events.

When I back off some more, I realize that I am whole and always have been.

I momentarily lost my true sense of who I am.

Sometimes it seems as though its been years since I lost my way.

But then, when I find it again, I am restored immediately.

I am now starting with wholeness.

Whatever events from the past distracted me from my wholeness are now irrelevant.

I can rethink my way through them if that is useful.

But mostly, I just need to calm down and feel my wholeness.

I am related to the Infinite Creator of the Universe.

I am like that.

I am created without lack.

I have everything I need right where I am, right now.

I am whole.

Intensity and Laughter

I was in a very intense mode, as I processed various things that were happening in my life.

I became aware that this process was making my body very tense, and that it was not a healthy line to pursue.

After a short conversation with my husband, resulting in a continuity of tension, (which he had nothing to do with), I changed course.

When he commented, I cracked a pun.

That set us both to laughing, which, of course, broke my tension.

I have decided that, although some things may be as true as it is possible to be, they are not worth thinking about.

I can move myself into a place of happiness and laughter, and as trite as that may sound, it is actually a very wonderful practice.

If I have a choice about what to think about, and I always do, I can choose the happy thing.

At one recent point in my life, I was up against a situation which I could not affect in any way whatsoever.

I was finally given a message.

Anytime I thought about it, I was to chant “gratitude, gratitude, gratitude” to myself.

I found I was able to do that.

After another couple of months, there was a change in the situation which I did not initiate.

When I think about it at all, I chant the message back to myself, and I am able to go on with whatever I need or choose to do.

That is freeing, but I enjoy the laughter even more.

Rev. Holliwell and the Law of Attraction

I am rereading “Working with the Law” by Rev. Holliwell. 

(https://www.amazon.com/Working-Law-Raymond-Holliwell/dp/0875168086/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1471221281&sr=1-2&keywords=working+with+the+law)

It is about the eighth or ninth time.

This time I read it from the last Law, forward.

When I came to the Law of Attraction, I was very interested in his combination of the words “desire and expectation”.

He says to “consistently expect that which you persistently desire”.

I felt a sense of conviction behind the idea of persistence and consistency.

He continues that “your ability to attract becomes irresistible”.

I think it is the fact that I was first introduced to this book about ten years ago, and that I keep coming back to it, to be a convincing statement of its effectiveness in my life.

Halliwell talks about our having “mental equipment” and “inner power”.

I am so grateful to hear about this power and where it is located.

Our Western culture is so media driven that it feels as though we have to crowd out a lot in order to even hear our own desires.

Knowing that I can be consistent and persistent about expecting the fulfillment of my desire gives me good work to do.

I can use my “mental equipment” and “inner power” to accomplish my desires.

And yes, I can accomplish them.

Now that I am listening inwardly and admitting them to myself, I realize they have never changed.

I can consistently and persistently attract my desires.

Small Commitments

Honoring small commitments will bring unexpected benefits.

Ahead of a quilt guild meeting, I ordered some cotton clothesline to make a basket.

At the beginning of the meeting, I found I had what I needed to work on a different project, so I decided not to get the clothesline.

Later, during the meeting, I realized that I had made the commitment to buy it, and even though the guild member said she would be able to use it, I decided to follow through on my commitment.

I didn’t use the clothesline for  that project, but I did need it to set up the brake for my weaving loom a couple of months later.

I was grateful that I had what I needed in what turned out to be ahead of time.

I have no idea what other specific things have been made convenient for me by honoring my small commitments.

Some, I suspect, have to do with repeated practice.

I know the benefits I have received in music from honoring lots of small commitments while learning to play an instrument well.

I am finding the long-term benefits in honoring my small commitments in spiritual practice.

Honoring small commitments can become a really good habit.

Continued Strong Practice

My new affirmations, thought, stated, and written, given with deeply and conviction, finally came up against a powerful, internalized child memory.

As I journaled to resolve it, I felt an immediate recognition and relief.

Over the next couple of days, as I continued with my peace, I began seeing a noticeable difference in several important aspects of my life.

Not until there was a strong enough replacement and commitment practice did the old memory surface with a resolution, although it has surfaced unresolved many times.

This time, the new practice overrode the old results.

I feel like a new person.

Give Yourself Compassion

When you know that whatever you may do, you will not be hard on yourself, it can be quite a relief!

You are taking a lot of new steps just because the world is changing so fast.

Your role is changing and you are confronting many new challenges.

So, when you decide to be nice to yourself no matter what happens, you are acting with great compassion.

Of course, you will figure things out.

It may take a few tries.

You may be late, or feel unworthy, or be judged or evaluated.

But do not let that be by yourself.

Right now, give yourself the freedom to figure things out.

Fiver yourself the space in which to try different directions as needed.

Love the life you are building for yourself when you do this.

You are an infinite creation of an Infinite Creator.

You have no limitations.

You can work out the puzzles of your daily life and even of your grand existence step by step.

The inklings and intuitions that you receive are beckoning guideposts to a different kind of life.

When you try them, as you seek for a higher existence, be generous to yourself.

Give yourself compassion.
