Spiritual Being with Human Experience

Bente Hansen: “You are a spirit being having a human experience and are here to learn who you really are and what your purpose is.”

I am originally SPIRIT. I became human to explore what it is to be made to the image and likeness of God. I don’t believe i was banished into this “Valley of tears.”

This explains why according to “Urban Shaman” I have to live at different levels.
“Operating at second level (SPIRIT) in a primarily first level world (HUMAN) is not easy but is the key to a shaman’s success. What makes it especially challenging is that you also have to hold first level awareness so you can communicate with others at that level.”

I just realized while typing this essay how taxing my life has been this 2017. Staying on the second level of awareness when I am alone in the condo is no joke while my Monkey mind is busy thinking of our daughter and my husband very engaged in their respective first level world of work! I know I have committed to allowing both our daughter and my husband to follow their respective pathways. Sustaining the two levels of awareness has taken its toll on my body!

Joe Vitale prescribes the Ho’oponopono way: “Too many people,myself included, were visualizing and affirming in order to MANIPULATE the world. I now knew that isn’t necessary. You’re better off going with the flow while constantly cleaning (Ho’oponopono prayer) whatever comes up.”

I am thankful I don’t have to visualize nor affirm but cleaning the Ho’oponopono way is just as tedious. Reminds me of constant repetition of formula prayers of religion!

I am still predominantly living in my world of limiting beliefs. More than 60 years of living in fear, control, management principles, social conditioning are a heavy load to be cleansed by the Ho’oponopono.

I often catch myself sabotaging my new world view which is not more han 3 years old.

i believe my mild stroke in 2012 and my hip sugery of 2016 are manifestations of my limiting beliefs.

Martha Beck: “Its the emotional quality of grasping, clutching and neediness that bespeaks an underlying expectation of loss and deprivation that causes us to create nightmares in he world of form.”

Bente Hansen wrote something about the self knowing what is best for itself.

I know I must discern and make choices. Principle # 7 teaches that there is always another way of doing anything.

I have no intention of adopting again the one-size-fits-all pit fall of religion. My dogma is: There is definitely a God and He/She is on my side!

Empowered Self

Bente Hansen: “You are a spirit being having a human experience and are here to learn who you really are and what your purpose.”

“The only way to truly begin to gain this insight is to listen to your inner voice.”

This goes with my belief that I chose to enter into this life to explore what it mean to be made to the image and likeness of God.

Only I can do this for myself.

“No one else knows exactly what is most appropriate for you”. (Bente Hansen)

“Someone else can only say what he or she thinks best. That judgment is based on their EXPERIENCES and PERCEPTIONS which are not necessarily in harmony with your
highest good.”

The above from Hansen explains why I believe I am my best doctor.

“When you possess genuine SELF-CONFIDENCE [it is] empowering and generates feelings of strength and wellness.”

The above explains why I have chosen to be guided by the 7 Principles of “Urban Shaman”.

“You have a specific purpose or path in this life. Living your life according to the expectations and demands of others will not assist you to achieve this.”

“When giving priority to the needs of others while neglecting your own, you are actually giving a message that you are not important.”

“This yet again, is another aspect of the limiting belief around lack of self-worth.”
(Something sustained by the RELIGIOUS virtues of FALSE HUMILITY!)

“This message is felt within your energy field as your energy is continually directed toward supplying the needs of other people.”

“You are literally giving your energy away in order to sustain their needs or desires
thereby depleting your own reservoir.”

“It is only when there is awareness of your purpose and you align your life accordingly that you are able to achieve real meaning, passion, and joy in all aspects of life.”

The above should calm religious objectors afraid that one who loves himself will be selfish and/or proud!

“When experiencing this state, it becomes easy to have more compassion, understanding and acceptance of others and their unique powers.”

“You come to value their special spirit without DENEGRADING or DEVALUING yours in any way”.
(Quotes are from Bente Hansen)

Self-Mastery and The Not-Mes

My self-mastery is not driven by the religious idea of salvation much less by martyrdom. It is motivated by the type of self-esteem/self-confidence used in shamanistic paradigm for a joyful life.

Self-mastery is a necessary ingredient in living my adventure to explore what it is to be made to the image and likeness of God – something I learned from RELIGION during my childhood years onwards.

Self-mastery is my personal response to frustrations/disappointments over unmet expectations. After all, “Urban Shaman” has a practical reminder:

“Things and people are going to deviate (from my expectations) …simply out of CREATIVE SPONTANEITY if nothing else.”

“Creative Spontaneity” is interpreted by me to mean that as everyone else like me has his own pathway from and back to Source.

I believe that everyone else like myself has a SPECIFIC and UNIQUE purpose for coming to this life. Each one is an individuation of God manifested in this life. I gotthis from Neale Walsh.

Dr Christine Page shares my idea of self-direction:
“Imagine if your thoughts, words and actions were not judged on the basis of someone else’s dictates and experiences but as your own sense as to whether they resonated with a deeper truth within.”
Bente Hansen has chapters about this in her book “The New World of Self-Healing”.

Several know that beyond man-made rules there is n inner knowing of what is right and what is wrong. Religion calls this CONSCIENCE but I don’t think RELIGION takes this seriously!

When one s aware of one’s divinity there is no need for man-made rules. This is my belief and my experience!

Lately, I have met several who not knowing about their divinity LIVE by their INNER sense of knowing and live far more exemplary lives than those with RELIGION!

Once more Dr Page has something that guides me:
“This may sound too radical but this is the way of the future, where PERSONAL and INNER morality guide an individual’s activities not man-made rules fully appreciative that there is nothing we do, say or think that doesn’t affect someone else somewhere and EVENTUALLY RETURN TO US.”

Self-correcting like the Montessorri tools for learning!

Self-Mastery, the Ho’oponopono Way

In less than a year I will be 75. Imagine the many limiting beliefs I have to unlearn. But I can hear the ever-optimistic Dr Lipton reminding me. To paraphrase him: why should I moan over the many things I have  yet to do? Why not celebrate what I have accomplished so far? And like Frank Sinatra- to it not in a shy way!

For example, I have found joy in my recent discovery. For unknown reasons I developed skin rashes in my inner right elbow. I was simply led to use papaya skin peelings on my rashes. After about 6 days, my skin exfoliated. New, clean skin!

Of course, now my diet has become even more boring. I stick to what from experience is good fr my blood pressure, sugar level and my muscles especially on my left side.

I marvel at my self-mastery. Not even the concerned reminders of my husband about my Spartan style can move me.

I follow the Ho’oponopono paradigm which holds me 100% responsible for everything in my life. This makes my life (especially my health) a business between me and Source. I believe I was given all I need to explore what it is to be made to the image and likeness of God.

I still need a cane. i believe I chose this in my subconscious. I have yet to discover the  programs/memories  that made me choose to continue walking with a cane. But this does not make me angry with God. In fact this has moved me to become even more creative – co-creator with God.

I Am Who I AM Because of Changes in My Beliefs

PRINCIPLE # 7 Effectiveness is the measure of truth.

Corollary: There is ALWAYS another way to do anything.

Lately, because of the correction by a Facebook user, I no longer believe I have a personal contract with God. Instead I have adopted Coello’s HIGHEST POTENTIAL as reported by Gary Zukov in an interview by Lilou Mace in the Alps.

God knows what I an be ultimately. I can choose to fulfill my highest potential or I can settle for less.

Recently, a female medical doctor engages my husband and myself in a lively conversation at McDonald’s. She claimed she was sent to change my idea of “I am my best doctor”.I can choose to give the doctors of her recommended hospital a chance or I can stay firm in my belief in self-healing. Will her doctors be driven by BIG PHARMA as usual?

On that same day, when I had my hair dye session, my stylist shared her self-healing practices. Inspired by her, I can go back to my tried and tested Turmeric capsules.

My personal experiences demonstrate how I have evolved spiritually as well as towards a healthy being.
