Greetings, and Welcome to the next
edition of my newsletter. I hope you have enjoyed a week filled with
opportunities and success. In last week's newsletter I examined how ego
resistance often times sabotages our efforts to make changes in our
lives. I also briefly mentioned the importance of Powerpacts, and how
being a part of one will provide the foundation of support necessary to
not only maintain the momentum to continue towards your goal, but also
to ultimately reach your goal.
Transformation is the key, if we
want the quality of our life to change for the better we must first
change our mind about who we are. In order to change what we have in our
life we must first change the "rules" by which we live our lives. The
"rules" that I refer to here are simply the consciousness you have
chosen for yourself. We are a product of what we believe, and not what
we have in our life right now. Before life can get any better we will
have to change our mind about what we believe. Once we have
changed our reality concepts, we will have been transformed, and what we
want will come into our life without our realizing what is happening. Of
course we won't fully believe this could be the simple until we have
proven it to ourselves through manifesting the results we want.
So What is a Powerpact? A
Powerpact is a support group, made up of at least two individuals
of like minds who meet for the common purpose of mutual support. The
word "Powerpact" combines two words that help to illustrate the purpose
of the group which is to support and empower each other through each
person's individual transformations in consciousness. But the Powerpact
is much more than that! It is actually an awesome power source for each
member of the group to draw on. A great force called into BEING by their
coming together which allows each of the members to tap into the power
of Spirit.
The miracle of transformation will
take place during each Powerpact meeting and this happens because the
partners we have chosen to be in our Powerpact will create the space of
unconditional love for us. Having the ability to work through issues in
an environment of unconditional love is the true catalyst for change. To
change the quality of our life, we must change who we are being. But
before we can get from where we are now to where we want to be in
consciousness we must make where we are now okay. Strange as it may
seem, before we can change who we are being we must first make it ok not
to change. The Powerpact can be one of the most powerful tools we use
for dealing with ego resistance.
To receive optimal results from
being a member of a Powerpact it is important to meet at least once a
week to discuss what issues each member may be working on. The weekly
meetings are also an opportunity to recharge our batteries. It is also
an opportunity to celebrate successes and discuss any ego resistance
that maybe surfacing against any changes happening in life.
Our greatest need for support will
be at those times when our ego has us backed into a corner and in an
emotional funk. Our Powerpact partners are there to remind us that we
are not our ego and we will be sufficiently empowered by their support
to make it past our ego's fears and self doubts.
Here are a few guideline in
creating a new Powerpact. It is important that each member feels that
they are suitable for one another as part of a mutual support group.
There must also be a place and time that will fit everyone's schedule,
this can simply be arranging a convenient time for everyone to meet on
the phone. Each member of the Powerpact will need to have an
understanding of the true purpose for meeting. I would suggest having a
"trail run" meeting with a new Powerpact group. This will allow everyone
the opportunity to decide if the group is right for them. The test for
any Powerpact is whether we feel empowered or do we like ourselves more
as a result of our participation in the group.
This has been just a brief
overview of Powerpacts. I am including the link to Chapter 22 of my
book, "To God Or As God" which explains this concept in further detail.
I hope the newsletter has sparked your interest in forming your own
Powerpact. Perhaps it has given you suggestions on improving the group
you already belong to. I hope you have a relaxing and safe weekend.
