Nightmares

It’s happening again! A week or so after practising what Ariel and Shya Kane wrote in “Working on Yourself Doesn’t Work” plus using the Waki blanket to bed, I have had nightmares again.

This could be an effect of Kane’s first principle: what you resist, persists. It could be that the electrical charges emitted by the Waki blanket energizes my subconscious to create havoc in my thoughts. It could be a kind of shaman’s sickness as described in Martha Beck’s book.

For 2 months or so I had a peaceful life living according to Joe Vitale’s “Zero Limits”: the Ho’oponopono paradigm. In my desire to hasten my recovery to be able to walk again without a cane, I have searched my numerous books for a non-traditional type of healing. I want to know how my thoughts may be sabotaging my healing. I want to know whether I am affected by the Law of Perversity I wrote about in May of this year.

“Structural learning and spontaneous intuition are not really at war with one another.” So wrote Jim Gilkeson. This is comforting to know as I continue to temper my rational thinking with awareness and education of the senses.
“The more truly differentiated our knowledge base and the more tools it has at its disposal, the greater the variety of our intuitive repertoire.” Jim Gilkeson continued.

Untrained Mind

     Laura Bushnell wrote:” the untrained mind is held back by all the negative thoughts that are clamoring about inside.”
     This is the Monkey Mind that Maria Nemeth discussed in her book “The Energy of Money”.We are better served when our minds are still and quiet so that we can listen to our hearts. Bushnell continues: How can a whisper of truth or understanding find its way in when there is already such noise and disharmony going on in the mind?
     When we are stuck in the mind, it’s easy to get caught up in analyzing things, viewing them in a positive or negative way. The mind has been taught to operate in a mode of fear and anticipation. It loves to have problems to analyze.
     Every problem has a solution, but one can rarely find it by holding on to a problem and going over and over it in one’s mind.

Artistic Living

Uncanny but my thoughts about general education curriculum have been inspired by terrorism and the terrorists as discussed by Robert Sardello.

     Terrorism turns fear into a god – invisible, all powerful, a great and mighty punisher, the lord of death himself.
     The terrorist is no longer afraid of death. His life means nothing to him, and thus neither does anyone else’s.
     Terrorism kills the sense that we have a future, a life destiny… It views people as objects, and we become objects, even to ourselves.
     The potential for each of us becoming our own terrorist can be found in the loss of faith in life.
     An antidote to terrorism according to Sardello is artistic living which consists of developing the
the ability to display through our actions and attitudes, the power of soul and spirit.
     Furthermore, Goodness consists of the capacity to go beyond ourselves, beyond our self – interests, and into the lives of others.
     Personally, I pray I can see this coming into reality in my lifetime.

According to Robert Sardello,” we divide, separate, analyze, scrutinize, take things apart, break them down into smaller and smaller pieces, rationalize. What we know in this way are abstractions, not the fullness of reality. This way of thinking loses sight of the whole and makes the world of concepts cold and devoid of a healthy feeling component.”

But this was exactly how I went through school, from grade school to the doctoral lvel. And I believe I had my share of success.

However, after reading Martha Beck and especially after watching “The Secret” several times the purely rational way of thinking makes me feel inadequate in the 21st century.

So much of technology can’t be tamed through rational thinking especially as the supporting structures fail to allow the latest technology to perform its promises.

There are several, make that many, disruptive occurrences that make life harder in spite of the many conveniences related to banking, communication, transportation etc. Even the simple procedure of claiming one’s ID from the security guards of buildings can be hazardous especially if one suffers from hypertension!

How can the Law of Attraction or the Energy Paradigm explain why I get a texted message at !:15 am in the morning by somebody from FACEBOOK INVITING ME TO JOIN? But I have an account! Or what about utterly exasperating agents from a certain bank calling our landline at various times of the day for months, trying desperately to locate a very bad debtor?

One explanation for my disasters with technology is that I still see the world in the Newtonian way. What I fail to consider is that “solid particles are mere energetic patterns until observed by consciousness.” so Martha Beck explained.

For almost 2 months now I have been practising the Ho’oponopono process that uses “entrainment”. This paradigm is the best for me because apparently it can be applied to all issues. The beauty is that I do the changing of myself and let the world be.

Sometimes it works; but it takes time. There is another solution. Martha Beck recommends going into WORDLESSNESS and ONENESS. This is even harder than the Ho’oponopono because I believe it requires going into ASC or altered state of consciousness.

     According to Mark Nepo, “More than anything, fear blinds, and only by stepping without hesitation into the next inch of the unknown can we build confidence in the life we are about to live.”
     Had I listened to my fears I wouldn’t have ventured walking around our condo without a cane a month after my mild stroke.
     At first I hesitated; I calculated. I rehearsed which pieces of furniture to hold on to. I even counted the steps from the bedroom to the bathroom. I pictured in my mind how a normal person would walk. Was it heel, toe first? Or was it toes and then heels?
     When I finally dared I forgot completely about the counting and the style of steppings. It was a liberation, not to think at all.
