Free To Be You
I can remember numerous occasions when I came home from work and suggested
that my wife and I go to San Francisco for a 3 day weekend. The answer was
always, "No I can't do that, I would need 3 days to get ready". I was the
adventurer and my wife was not.
Helen Keller once said, "Life is a daring adventure, or it's nothing." I want
you to see that life can only be a daring adventure if you are totally
unattached to the outcome. And if there was such a thing as "sin" and if I
believed in it, I would call attachment our greatest sin.
You, as an individualization of god, when in the space of being a God in your
own life, will not be coming from need for anyone or anything; you will be all
powerful in that moment because you are detached and totally free to be you in a
brand new way.
If you truly want to live as a God and be in charge of your own life, you'll
want to fall in love with the detachment process.
Every fear, worry or self-doubt is a form of attachment to the outcome and
each of those moments of contract are an opportunity to detach from the outcome
and make a new BEING choice. When you can recognize all contrast as a choice
point you will be a long way down the path toward being a free soul.
DOING vs BEING
New Year's resolutions are seldom
kept when they are doing commitments made without the transforming benefit of a
new BEING pledge. Without the BEING commitment, a smoker would just be a smoker
who was temporarily depriving him or herself of a cigarette. I quit seven times
before I wised up and made the necessary BEING commitment to BE a non-smoker.
We do what we do as a result of who we are. We don't become a non-smoker by
choosing not to smoke, but by first choosing to be a non-smoker. By changing our
mind about who we will be, we are transformed into the one who will
automatically be inspired to do the doing that belongs with that BEING choice.
We avoid BEING choices because our ego fears change;
your ego knows that the
old you must die in order to be reborn into that new way of being you.
To keep
you safe from harm your ego avoids BEING choices. Your ego keeps you confined in
the status quo by having you believe that DOING is the first step in the
creative process and that DO BE HAVE really works.
DOING coaching works only when and if the person being coached first chooses
to BE the one who will do the DOING. Believe me, no matter how hard you try, you
can't really make DO BE HAVE work. You'll make many DOING choices every day that
do not seem to have been preceded by a BEING choice. But it only seems that way.
You DO the DOING because you already know who you are as a result of an
earlier BEING choice. Believe me, whatever you DO every day fits within the
context of your BEING choice. What you DO must always BE a perfect match for who
you are BEING.
You are and will be a God every day of your life, but you'll have amnesia and
live your life as your ego until you reawaken to your power and make a new BEING
choice. As your ego, all your power will seem to be in the DOING and when in
that trap, to regain your God power you must rediscover your power of choice. By
recognizing that is there is something in my life I don't like, I can change it
with a new BEING choice. Of course in order to create a new reality I must first
create the space for that to happen.
Space is created for the new by detaching from
whatever I had been attached to in that relationship.
Detaching is spirit's way of creating space for
something new to happen. But your ego's way of
detaching from the old is to DESTROY that relationship before it moves on.
And for our ego the CREATE PERSIST DESTROY
process is usually a long drawn out and painful process.
So this coming week:
-
Take a long hard look at any
attitude, relationship, situation or position to which you've become
attached and see if you can say "no" to what isn't working without
destroying the relationship
-
See if you can figure out if you
are saying "no" to something that no longer works for you or if you are just
resisting the resistance.
-
Are your choices out of fear or
love?

Chapter 29 - Unconditional Love
"To God Or As God" - Pg. 211
"Sin" is a French word meaning "without"
If you're hung up on the word "sin," it might help you
to know that the word "sin," originally meant "missed the mark" as in, I
aimed and missed, or Oops I made a mistake. In the adult world, we're
not punished for missing the mark (for making a mistake), but we must live with
the results.
In all of life, we learn by reaping benefits from wise
choices, and suffering consequences when we've chosen unwisely. If you love
yourself unconditionally, you will make your mistakes, smile, move on and be
free to choose again. You're not bad because you shot yourself in the foot; you
just made a mistake.
But if you don't love yourself unconditionally, you'll
tend to beat yourself up for your mistake, judging yourself a bad person.

Chapter 5 - Be Do Have
from my book
"So, Why Aren't You Rich?" -
Pg. 125
Creating Space
According to our BE/DO/HAVE formula, choosing who to BE
is the first step in the creative process.
But there's always a barrier to taking that first step.
Before we can create a new reality for ourselves, we
must first create the space for that to happen.
We can't mold a new self-image until we've broken
the mold of the old one. The caterpillar must give up life as a caterpillar
before it can become a butterfly.
When you create your new self-image
you are not fixing the old you.
You are discarding your old self-concept so that you
can replace it with a new one. You are creating the space for that new reality
by first rejecting the current one. When you break the old mold, don't expect to
put it back together like it was. You will be creating a new mold for an
expanded concept of self.
