Metaphysics and class reunions

I don’t have much time because I’m off to the airport heading to New York City (yes, I know it’s only 3:30 a.m.) for my 40th High School Reunion (you can do the math, it’s not a secret).

I haven’t seen any of these people (except one) for 40 years and never really thought I’d care to see them either. But after my best friend from school convinced to go, I’m very glad I’m going. I was shy and not really part of the “in crowd” so I don’t have many of the memories the others do. But a very interesting thing has happened as we’ve all participated in a Yahoo Groups these two weeks.

We’ve learned so much about each other and seen that we’ve all become adults (well, most of us). But as one person said “I’m still expecting a bunch of adolescents”.

I have realized that Anne repeatedly talks about identifying “who’s your authority” on issues that pop up and are not necessarily the truth. Figuring out what your beliefs are AND where they came from is an important step in growing. Once you realize where they come from, you have to ask yourself “who’s my authority” on that and then ask yourself “is that person still your authority”?

I looked at my high school picture and saw that I was NOT always fat as I had thought and been told. I then looked at it and immediately knew that my mother had been my authority on this – she was putting me on diets all the time. I was probably heavier than the other girls but I was very athletic. I am now sure that my mother deeply ingrained my subconscious that I was always going to be fat. And you know what? It worked. It’s now my job to change my authority on that.

There’s much more to write but I have to head on out. More when I get back. This should stir alot in the pot.

Have a great weekend.

The Fourth Agreement

OK, this is the last info Pre-Four Agreements! But I hope you’ve gotten something out of tem regardless of whether you join us on the teleseminar.

Yesterday I talked about not taking things personally and not making assumptions.

Today it’s “Always do your best”.

If you know you just want to register, do it now

The Fourth agreement is “Always Do Your Best”. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

Everything is alive and changing all the time, so your best will sometimes be high quality, and other times it will not be as good. Your best will depend on whether you are feeling wonderful and happy, or upset, angry, or jealous.

In your everyday moods your best can change from one moment to another, from one hour to the next, from one day to another. Your best will also change over time.

If you try too hard to do more than your best, you will spend more energy than is needed and in the end your best will not be enough. When you overdo, you deplete your body and go against yourself, and it will take you longer to accomplish your goal. But if you do less than your best, you subject yourself to frustrations, self-judgment, guilt and regrets.

Doing your best is taking the action because you love it, not because you’re expecting a reward. Most people do exactly the opposite:

They only take action when they expect a reward, and they don’t enjoy the action. And that’s the reason they don’t do their best.

When you do your best you learn to accept yourself. But you have to be aware and learn from your mistakes. Learning from your mistakes means you practice, look honestly at the results, and keep practicing. This increases your awareness.

When you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.

Every action then becomes a ritual in which you are honoring God. After that, the next step is honoring God with every thought, every emotion, every belief, even what is “right” or “wrong”. Every thought becomes a communion with God.

The 2nd and 3rd Agreement

I talked about being impeccable in your word.

Today it’s the second agreement – “Don’t Take Things Personally” and the third agreement – “Don’t Make Assumptions”.

If you know you just want to register, do it now

https://www.gettingunstuckllc.com/sermonreg

Anne spent an entire hour last week on “Don’t Take Things Personally”. But basically it’s that nothing that others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

The third agreement is “Don’t make assumptions”. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

We make assumptions about what others are doing or thinking – we take it personally – then we blame them and react by sending emotional poison with our word. That’s why whenever we make assumptions, we’re asking for problems.

When we make an assumption, we misunderstand, we take it personally, and we end up creating a whole big drama for nothing.

Because we are afraid to ask for clarification, we make assumptions, and believe we are right about the assumptions; then we defend our assumptions and try to make someone else wrong. It is always better to ask questions than to make an assumption, because assumptions set up for suffering.

We only see what we want to see and hear what we want to hear. We don’t perceive things the way they are. Because we don’t understand something, we make an assumption about the meaning.

The Four Agreements have changed my life and made me alot happier so think what it can do for you.

The first agreement is “Be impeccable with your word”. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Pretty simple, huh?

Whenever we hear an opinion and believe it, we make an agreement, and it becomes part of your belief system. If you accept an opinion, it becomes an agreement and you put all your power into that opinion.

These types of spells are difficult to break. The ony thing that can break a spell is to make a NEW agreement based on truth.

The truth is the most important part of being impeccable with your word.

The Four Agreements!

Everyone has heard of The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz.

This week’s teleseminar will be based on that book but as most of you know, Anne puts an entirely different spin on all material so who knows what she’ll be saying that will add to what you’ve already learned by reading the book.

She spent an entire hour discussing “Don’t Take Things Personally” this past week.

See you Thursday
