99% is a bitch and 100% is a breeze

What is it, it’s all about commitment to be committed is to accept all facets of a project, from start to finish. First step to live consciously, that start a journey of wonder through the real world. Entering a sacred path of total practicality. Committing to the journey make us totally aware. Expressing gratitude for the gift of life.
Interview with Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell,
Moyers: “In this sense, unlike heroes such as Prometheus or Jesus, we’re not going on our journey to save the world but to save ourselves.”
Campbell: “But in doing that, you save the world.
Moyers: “Do you ever have this sense when you are following your bliss, as I have at moments, of being helped by hidden hands?”

Campbell: “All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time—namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.”

When we give 100% commitment to anything, we will see miracles happen just like helping hands coming to participate in the effort and it becomes “effortless effort”. Announcing to the world at large our commitment enhance the likelihood of success. If we want to unexpected magic we need to throw away our baggage, commit and let the invisible hands guide us on our quest! :)
A key aspect of living consciously is to BE PRESENT. We can’t do that if we’re constantly churning through the negative stories of our past. We’ve gotta let it go and become present to the joy of this moment and the thrill of our glorious future.
We all have watch a terrible movie we didn’t like, we might even sat there and painfully watch it to the bitter end. I doubt greatly that we would watch that movie ever again, correct? Now why are we playing the same movie over and over again in our mind of something that cause stress and unhappiness? Why? It is time to let go of those “bad” movies.
Let’s reflect on that wisdom again and see if we can’t shake the habit!
First, how about some old school Vernon Howard wisdom from his classic The Power of Your Supermind He says: “A chief cause of unhappiness is what I call mental movies. Mental movies are a misuse of the imagination. You know how it goes. You have a painful experience with someone, then run it over and over in your mind. You visualize what you said, what he did, how you both felt. As awful as it is, you feel compelled to repeat the film day and night. It is as if you were locked inside a theatre playing a horrible movie.”
That’s just like driving your vehicle staring at the rearview mirror, risky isn’t it? Another powerful element, to commit to self esteem, accepting the whole of ourselves not just part is the best principle to achieve self esteem, the first steps of healing and growth are awareness and acceptance. Not enough can be said about the subject of accepting and loving oneself as we are. Carl Yung says fine the gold in the darkness. Living in harmony with the way things are grounding ourselves in reality and choosing those things we want to change about ourselves, but first embracing things as they are.
The Stoic from 2000 years past knew the principle of growth listen to what they have to say from way back.
Epictetus: “We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.”
Aurelius: “Your mind will be like its habitual thoughts; for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Soak it then in such trains of thoughts as, for example: Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible.”
And Seneca: “As it is with a play, so it is with life—what matters is not how long the acting lasts, but how good it is.”
Stoics rock.
Setting goals with a total open mind to all possibilities and not in an either/or duality conflict, instead accepting both/and. Its weird how we thing in either/or when actually we need to thing inclusively of everything. Expressing our spirituality through our work and our meditation/prayer time. Not a matter of being successful in business or being spiritual expressing both, live both one through the other. Surely a different concept of what we are use too.
Ninety nine percent commitment is not possible only one hundred percent or not committed at all.

99% is a bitch and 100% is a breeze

How responsible are we?!?

Have you watched the news? I mean really watch and implicating yourself within the stories? Crime, murders, wars, bombing, destruction, greed, fear, desire for power and on and on.
Witnessing this from a distance and being totally detached of responsibilities and outcome is dysfunctional collectiveness. And as a member of this society we are individually responsible for the outcome. It is time we seriously start to consider our involvement and recognize our individual actions as part of the whole result and own it. Only then can the situation changes, it is up to each one of us to claim responsibility for what is happening in the world.
Scientific research proved that it only takes the square root of 1% of the population to create a change. That’s 100 volunteers per 1 million people. “If you can find one person among then I will not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah”…
The great tradition has named this dysfunction of the mind. Christianity of the western world call it “sin” and also point into the direction of “salvation” or “enlightenment” in the eastern beliefs. Whatever our individual beliefs are we all know what the answer is. What needs to take place is for us to embrace fully the role that we are playing in the production called “life”. Only then can change take place.
To recognize one’s own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence. Eckhart Tolle. A new earth.
We all have our own beliefs and act accordingly; we might attend religious ceremonies, go the church, one a week, and then resume our everyday life full of controversies going against our beliefs. Expressing our feelings of hate, anger, frustration toward anyone in our way. Our level of spirituality as nothing to do with what we believe, but everything to do with our state of consciousness and that’s what determines how we act toward each others. Taking the time to ponder the facts will bring to light our own responsibilities and allow us to bring about the changes we like to see in our society and in our world, back to us individuals.
Haven is not a place somewhere out there, it’s a realm of consciousness. By transforming our human consciousness will bring about change in the physical world.
Ego is no more than this: identification with form. Which primarily means thought forms. If evil has any reality-and it as relative, not an absolute, reality- this is also its definition: complete identification with form- physical forms, thoughts forms, emotional forms. This results in a total unawareness of my connectedness whit the whole, my intrinsic oneness with the Source. This forgetfulness id original sin, suffering, delusion. When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs what I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create? To find the answer to this, observe how humans relate to each other, read history book, or watch the news on TV tonight. From A new Earth Eckhart Tolle.
This really need to be reflected upon. The reason for so much suffering in the world “MY” My car, my house, my toys, my, my, my. Just imagine for a minute that someone’s watch was stolen, somebody’s car was wrecked, someone else’s wife cheated on them. Unfortunate but not a big deal, right? Now imagine that “my” watch was stolen, “my” car was wrecked, “my” partner cheating on me. Take on a whole new meaning doesn’t it?
Life will give us the most helpful experience we need for the evolution of your consciousness. How do we know it’s the experience we need? Just because it is the one we are having now. Byron Katie says “ how do I know the wind should blow? It is blowing now” And she adds “when I argue with reality, I lose but only 100% of the time” Powerful stuff indeed.
The stronger the judgment of someone else’s action, the greater the mirror image there is. When I strongly dislike something in another it points out to my shortcoming. Carl Yung call it “the shadow” Coming to the realization of our own fault, by looking at others, and then bringing about the change that need to take place is the beginning of the change that in turn will take place in the whole human race. If I am annoyed when people express greed or anger or anything that I identify in them, I need to look at myself and own the same faults or qualities, yes it works both way. Powerful, uplifting exercise. Give it a try next time and see what happen.
We cannot choose external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond. Epictetus in his Enchiridion.
There is nothing good or bad, but what we make it. Hamlet.
Are you victim of your circumstanced, or do you realize that you have the power to choose how you respond to a situation.
With all my love.
