Hitting the Wall

Here I am with this decision to be a sentinel at the gateway of consciousness, a mighty commitment indeed! And I suddenly found myself knee deep in the sludge that lies at the base of a new creative mountain.

I was going into the video studio to do a series of demos for our anti bullying program, Breaking Out of the World Game. And I was in a panic. I felt like a total failure. I didn’t know my script (which I have taught in nearly 500 hundred schools).

Like the Magic Eight Ball where words keep surfacing out of the black ink, my feelings and thoughts exploded out of the dark onto my mental screen. My world spun out of control. ”Not good enough!” “I can’t do it!” “I feel lost.” ”Where do I start?”

Here I was touting mind management and I couldn’t even manage one thought. What happened!? I hit the wall and I found myself back in my own ground zero.

The only viable thought in the whole thing was really, “Where do I start?” But it took me a while to get there.

When I finally did get there, I took a proactive stance. I went back to the creativity template I had burned into my mental hard drive 30 years ago.

  1. Preparation – Engage in the process. Be willing to concentrate fully on the subject. Struggle with it. Visualize it. This feeds everything into the sub-conscious mind. (In my case I had to review the material and think deeply about how to do the video without an audience.)
  2. Incubation –  Let it all go. Relax. Change the subject. Play and sleep usually work for me. (In this case, I went to bed. I was going into production the next day.)
  3. Breakthrough – This usually comes as an ‘AHA’ experience, like Archimedes ‘Eureka’! This breakthrough cannot be forced and arrives in its own time.

In my case, I got up on the day of the shoot and I was in ‘the zone’. I had an extremely successful day in the video studio.

But I could have done it without all of the panic and the negative self-talk. I could have had more wisdom about it and caught it by the tail before it caught me.

I was reminded of Ashley in The Operator’s Manual for Planet Earth. I had fallen asleep and lost the plot again!

I’ve recommitted to my initial goal. Staying awake on Planet Earth is a challenge, especially when the old deep habits kick in!

I’d love to hear you experiences…. I’m going to keep tracking mine and sharing the experience!

Weeding My Mental Garden

This is the year of opportunity for all of us. For myself, I’m choosing to make a quantum leap in consciousness. I have laid the groundwork for a quantum jump for some time now.  A significant leap of transformation is available based on a firm foundation of the fundamentals.  I have been on the path of positive change for more than 35 years now. Yet I have noticed that weeds still crop up in my mental garden.

These are little petty indignations, irritations, worry, fear, criticisms and even judgments that have not been fully uprooted. True, I stop them quite quickly when they arise. But I find that their roots are hidden from plain view yet deeply entrenched in my mental soil. They are like little insidious habits of thought that recycle periodically. They seem to catch me unaware from behind and then I become the effect of the emotion it creates.

I have chosen this year to be a year of conscious intention and choice. I am choosing to weed the garden of my mind again! This time my intention is to eradicate the roots of any negative thinking.

I know it’s a mighty intention and will require a a huge leap in self-awareness. I will need to be a sentinel – standing guard at the gate of my own consciousness, observing my every thought as I am thinking it.

In my book, The Operator’s Manual for Planet Earth -An Adventure for the Soul- the biggest challenge the young protagonists face is how to stay conscious on Earth. They would vow to remain aware and conscious yet every time they entered Earth’s Atmosphere in a physical body their light would dim. They would forget to remember their vow.

Now I feel like the protagonist in my own book – choosing to remember to remember to stay awake. It’s a challenge, but I’m excited about it.

Now I’m not saying that I’ve stopped having fun. I’m still enjoying life, swimming, going to movies, getting together with friends – playing as well as working. The difference is that I’m now wanting to uproot all of the lower negative thoughts that float in and take control of my mind and my emotions periodically .

So far, I’ve forgotten to remember at least 13 times since commitment day on January 1st. I caught the slippery thoughts quickly, stopping them before they turned into an emotion. But I am resolute, inspired and committed to the game!

So here is my 30 day game plan:

  1. Ten minutes of meditation in the morning – I’ve shortened it a bit for expediency sake.
  2. Two minute visualization and positive mental activation daily.
  3. Stay alert and aware to my thoughts and emotions during the day.
  4. Two minute reflection in the evening in which I review, renew, rewrite and re-envision any event or thought that caught me unaware and in a negative frame of mind.

I’ll be reporting periodically on how I’m doing. BTW – I would love to have you join me and we’ll rock the world one person and one thought at a time!

Thoughts Turn Into Things

Thoughts are things!! Every repetitive thought that we think eventually becomes reality.

Our brain is magnificent! In fact, neuro-scientists tell use that the human brain is the most powerful processor and solution generator on the planet.

We know that human intention can and does influence material and properties in a significant way. We are all equally powerful in our ability and our creative capacity to shape the world around us and to have a direct impact on our planet. We affect the world around us whether we are consciously intending to or not.

When we we utilize our heart and combine our thoughts with our feelings, scientists tell us that this energetic combination is more powerful than a radio transmission. With constant random thoughts and repetitive patterns of thoughts and feelings we are accidentally or unintentionally creating our reality all day long.

It is time to practice a higher heart wisdom and practice mind management.

This will allow us to direct our energies in a significant way so that we can consciously create a life of our choosing.

Remember to remember that you will rise to the level of the visions that you hold and the conversations you have with yourself. Consciously or unconsciously, your inner visions and your inner voice direct your reality. So lets be conscious!

  1. Envision the life you would like to have.
  2. Create a powerful positive present tense mantra that states that you already have it
  3. Repeat the mantra every morning, every evening and whenever you think of it.
  4. Energize it with gratitude that this new reality is happening now.
  5. Continue to do this every day and your world will begin to shift from so-so or even good, to sublime

Here are two simple examples:

  • I am so thankful and happy now that money is coming to me consistently and on an ever increasing basis from various sources.
  • I am ever grateful for my personal presence and energy in working with my team as I inspire them to achieve our team goals.

So there it is! Keep your heartfelt emotions and thoughts positive. Create  a powerful positive mantra for your success in an area (one at a time). Repeat the mantra as often as possible. Act as if it already is what you want it to be. “So be it as I speak it,” is the thought that activates and attracts the energy of success!
