Our Stories
Many of us are stuck in the status quo.
Our ego is dragging its feet, with one foot on the shore and one in the boat,
and we're wondering why the boat isn't moving. The reason why any of us are stuck is
because we are attached to our story.
When we were kids, we created a story
about life that turned into an act and in playing that role, we've been trying
to prove something all our lives. Sometimes our act can make us very successful
and sometimes a story like "there's never enough" will sabotage our every
attempt at success.
Somehow the on/off switch (the can do /
cannot do switch) gets flipped when we're kids and we spend the rest of our life
proving that the original flip of the switch was the right one.
My story was that I didn't need anyone.
My act made me self-sufficient and self-confident in a way that fueled my
success.
But for as long as I was trying to
prove I didn't need anyone, I couldn't allow anyone to get close and know what
was really going on with me. The real Darel stayed hidden for 40 years behind
that story. Believe me, that whole dumb act was created out of an erroneous
conclusion made by a 4 year old feeling sorry for himself; I used my on/off
switch.
We've all got a story; what's your
story?
Some examples of stories:
I have to prove I'm as good as:
-
As long as you need to prove it, it
isn't so.
-
If it were so, you wouldn't need to
prove it to anyone.
There's never enough money.
-
You can't be prosperous until you
have both feet in the prosperity boat.
-
Even when you create more, no
matter how much money you acquire, there'll never be enough.
-
Even when you're about to manifest
more than enough, you'll spend it before you make it in order to maintain
the reality of never enough.
My parents labeled me a failure.
-
My parents are good people, I can't
make them wrong.
-
Even if I begin to succeed, I'll
sabotage my success.
To give up the need to prove something,
your act, you'll need to realize that your story is just a reality illusion you
created as a kid, and you've been living out that need to prove something all of
your adult life, up until now.
To free yourself of the childhood
conclusion that has run your life up until now, you'll have to admit that it's
just a story you made up. Once you've recognized it as the story of your life,
you can detach and move on to the success you said you wanted, but couldn't have
because you were stuck in your story.
Or that story fueled your success, but
you were trying to prove something that will never be so, until you no longer
need to prove it. Please get how attached you are to your story.
The apostle Paul said, "Be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind."
Transformation is about changing
your mind about who you are.
You've been doing that all of your life. Every time you
step out of that box to create a new reality, you've grown in consciousness,
you've become a little more consciously aware of your true identity.
You'll double the speed of the
transformation process once you've learned the art of detaching from, rather
than waiting for your ego to destroy in order to move on. In the process of
detaching, you might want to begin by asking yourself:
-
To what story am I attached?
-
What am I trying to prove?
-
And to whom?
-
Why do I need to keep proving that?
-
What would be the benefit if I no
longer needed to prove it?
-
Am I ready to detach and move on?
You'll be in awesome wonder of how
great life can be when you no longer have anything to prove.

Chapter 6 - What's Stopping You?
"To God Or As God" - Pg. 58 & 59
So, you've spent your whole life, up until now trying
to prove you were good enough, loveable and worth something or that you weren't.
You might want to notice that whatever you were trying to prove didn't really
need proving.
So, all this time, you've been a Don Quixote fighting a
windmill. You chose your battle, your windmill, when you were just a child. You
decided, back then, that there was something you needed to prove, and now, for
as long as you keep running your act, you'll still be trying to prove it.
You Were Always Good Enough
The joke is that you were always good enough, smart
enough, and loveable if you could only have accepted that as your reality. So,
your windmill was a figment of a 4-year old's reality concept. But that child's
fairy tale will still be running your life, until you no longer feel the need to
prove what didn't need proving in the first place.

Our Resistance To Change

"So, Why Aren't You Rich?" -
Pg. 41 & 42
The Reasons Exercise
On a ruled pad, draw a vertical line down the middle of
the page. On the left side of that line, list the things you want from life that
you've been thinking you couldn't have. On the right, give the reasons why you
think you can't have those things.
They Don't Hold Water
Reasons are ego's excuses for our lack of wealth. But
ego's reasons don't always make sense.
Using reasons to explain why we're poor
is like using a wicker basket for a water bucket.
The basket won't hold water, and neither will your
reasons for being poor. Reasons dissolve and disappear when exposed to ordinary
common sense.

Chapter 1 - Poverty Is A State
Of Being
from my book
"Being The Solution" -
Pg. 7
An Erroneous Conclusion
...The
following was once my own victim story (my box).
When I was four years old, I idolized my oldest
brother; in fact, you might say I worshiped him. One morning when he
left for school, I followed him. Four blocks from home, he noticed that
I was following him and he chased me all the way home, angry that I was
making him late for school.
Feeling hurt and sorry for myself, I pouted for
a while and then decided I would never be hurt again! As a result of
that obviously insignificant and meaningless incident in my life, I came
to the absurd conclusion that nobody loved me. And then, to make matters
worse, I compounded my error in judgment by deciding that I didn't need
anyone. (Talk about dumb conclusions!)
Although no real basis existed for my erroneous
conclusion, that decision controlled much of my life for many years to
come. So, while growing up, whenever anyone tried to hug me, I pushed
him or her away. A loving hug did not fit the victim role I had chosen
to play. If you are feeling sorry for me, you've missed the point. By
now, you should be playing your own imaginary victim-story violin.
But that was my box, my story, and at first
glance, you may not relate my victim story to your own. I suggest you
look again. I'm saying that you could have anything you want from like
if you were not rejecting it the same way I was rejecting love. If you
are lacking anything, anything at all, you live in a self-limiting box
that prevents you from having your wants fulfilled.
