From Easter Sunday to around April 7 or 8 I had an outpouring of blessings. This made me believe in Urban Shamanism. Then I had a serious attack of ocular migraine plus challenges from my cellphone and Mozilla Firefox. By now I think I am better off with Sylvia Boorstein as my guide.

7th Principle
Effectiveness is the measure of truth. There is always another way of doing anything.

“I am totally convinced that suffering arises when i struggle with events in my life that i cannot change. Yet from time to time i persist in the struggle. Habits die hard.”

I struggle with events that i cannot change because of an erroneous interpretation of Hicks’ Law of Attraction and Martha Beck’s manifestation teachings. I feel a failure when I can’t create the reality i want!

Come to think of it even Urban Shamanism has led me to think I can and must have the reality I want.

“If my mind didn’t cling i would be totally fearless” Sylvia Boorstein makes my life so simple.

“But my mind still does cling, so I am frightened that i won’t have what i think I want.”

“It’s not such a big problem anymore because fear doesn’t frighten me as much as it used to.”

“I know it’s from clinging and i know it will pass. I can tell myself ‘I am frightened now because even though i know whay’s true i have forgotten it right now.’

How truly consoling. How very good Sylvia is for me.
“That possibility that conviction gives me a lot of hope in the middle of the biggest fright.”
If only I can remember this each time I am frightened!
