some of these points were brought up during ALS. when attending ALS, there were some topics that were not clear. but over time, as i experience life, i gained more clarity.
it is true. we are all more similar than you can possibly imagine. attending this course simply enhanced awareness. experiencing life allow one to go deep. as we progress through life, meeting many different personalities - they only seem different at a glance. as one experience the person, they inevitably fall into one of lessons in the course. it is magic!
then again, it may be the case of thinking yellow cars and all of a sudden yellow cars appear every where....
whatever the case may be.... there are a few note to self. i should go through this list every morning (so i say today! know myself better than to make such a commitment)... anyway here goes....
- say less, listen more
- do NOT interrupt mid sentence (most recent lesson)
- victim story: do NOT find a reason for failure (it wouldn't matter anyway, might as well spend the energy and time looking for ways to succeed) - the story can be repeated a million times, broadcast for the whole world to see, and it would not matter - because to you, you failed
- intention: when this is unclear, nothing will happen
- focus: when you are clear and single minded, you will succeed. the people you need will appear. the path to success will be clear. resonance. vibration. energy. it is amazing. (the last dance) (the secret)
- be brave. it is truly better to apologize than to ask for permission. just do it!
- mirror: when we dislike something in another person - remember to look a little deeper. resolve the issue. until the lesson is learnt, it will persist. what you resist, will persist. because the universe is more stubborn than you. when the universe wants you to learn something, you will learn it eventually....
- surrender: plant the seed. water the plant. and trust it will grow. if one think of drought, drought may come. no need for such control. if it comes, it comes. and if it comes, perhaps a new tools will be created due to the drought. but no need to attract the drought!!
- we already have everything we need to succeed inside us. some books say god is inside each and everyone of us. some say god is everywhere. i am not particularly pious (getting a feeling of de javu - so i may have blogged on this before), and i am not claiming to be right. this is just how it seems to come together for me. if we have to believe in something else... the powers up above, to enable surrender.... then we actually do have everything inside of us to succeed in the first place. the entire concept of religion seems to be allowing surrender. you do what you can and surrender. so prayer works because as one pray, one is believing it will happen instead of attracting the wrong energy by thinking about all that can go wrong. disclaimer: i did not read the books that may have the above title. so, i did not mean to quote them!!
- contract: brave, passionate, honest
(i have probably forgotten some of the lessons learnt and i will not be blogging those i have not quite understand. so this post - to be updated periodically)
- 1 sep 2020: an update. a lesson learnt from yesterday. again, we are all the same! we all seek happiness. the only thing different is the level of awareness that happiness is a mindset and for the unaware, what we think we need to be happy. many would think money would bring happiness. some say prominence or a sense of importance would bring happiness. some wants to be married or to have found a soul mate to be happy. some thinks being married or having found a soul mate would make their parents happy (this is worse, because if the parents are unaware, then after you have gotten married, you would need to get a baby for them to then want another grandchild and then would want to see you have a big car or a big house, etc.... to be happy!) i suppose that may be why most gurus would ask those who want enough money to be happy - how much would be enough? because there is no quantum. you are happy or you are not. be.do.have.
- also very linked to victim story. i suppose if one is unhappy, and if one does not believe it is his or her mindset, then it must be somebody else's fault! and of course the whole world must know the same! and so the story goes.... everybody is always thinking i am not important.... everybody takes advantage of me.... everybody bullies me.... you get the idea. also linked to post on "patterns". if everybody is always doing something. the problem is likely self.
- realization - that all the self development courses is very simply providing awareness of what is. there is really no secret. is it there, plain and simple. but we need someone we trust to know, to tell us. or we need to undergo a process to be aware. a process we believe worked because we saw the change in someone else.
- 3 sep 2020: How can I forget thinking in abundance. one of the toughest thing to do as we are programmed to be the opposite. but amazing how a simple paradigm shift can bring one so much more.
