It's not easy undoing the mind. Particularly, when we have built up
so many concepts of limitation. But, each of us who has taken the
Abundance Course has embarked on that journey to undo all our limits
and move into having, being and doing all of our highest and most
noblest desires.
There is nothing noble in hanging out in lack, limitation, and
suffering. It is base, ego, unworthy of the Being that you are. Are you
ready to rise up and finally CLAIM, in a bold and courageous way, your
birthright of Abundance, Freedom, Inner Peace and Security, and
Unlimited Love? If not now, ask yourself, when would you be ready?
Stop "playing" with your goals
As I sit down to write this article, I have but one intention. That
intention is to jolt you out of complacency, just in case you have
inadvertently settled into a comfort zone with releasing, as sometimes
happens.
How often do you "play" at releasing? Do you release a little bit
here and there and then stop?
Often we play with our goals, unconsciously not really wanting or
expecting to actually achieve them.
Most of us are often afraid of both failing and succeeding in
achieving our goals, and so we don't really make the decision to shift
our consciousness into the consciousness of having our goals. We fear
the ego backlash. We fear the "beating ourselves up" that has come so
many times in the past when we tried and failed. Or, we fear the
Being waits for us to identify with It, instead of with the mind and all
its limits.
The power of decision
We allow ourselves to be trapped in the status quoa lukewarm
comfort zone that is neither here nor therethat is literally our
deathbed, while we claim we "live."
I must challenge this assumption. How can we truly LIVE if we are
not actively and constantly pushing past our limits?
We don't need to push past our outer limits, as that is futile. But,
we must push past our perceived inner limits. Truly, that is all we can
do.
We do this not with an efforting "push." But with the power of our
DECISION. We stand boldly and claim as ours now that goal that
before seemed way off in some distant "hopeful" future.
With the DECISION to have your goals now, and by releasing
whatever your ego throws up at you by knocking out the three primary
"wants", you collapse time and space and do away with all effort.
You take the path of least resistance and move on to "hit the mark"
and inwardly achieve your goal by assuming it is already achieved.
And soon, the outer world matches up with the inner.
Instead of moving through time and space and "waiting" and
"hoping" your goals come to you "someday," you immediately and
bodly assume the attitude of HAVING, BEING, or DOING that goal
now.
Call it "having faith" or whatever term you wish to use. I like the
term impudence, which means to boldly, daringly and almost
offensively ASSERT that what you previously desired is yours now,
and that you absolutely, positively HAVE it NOW and won't settle for
any other option.
That's what a decision is. It is cutting off all other options and
settling on only one. It is a concentrated thought. All concentrated
thoughts are extemely powerful, like a laser as opposed to an
incandescent bulb.
If you are not doing this, then you are stuck in resistance. You are
sheepishly going about "trying" to achieve your goals. The Goals &
Resistance Course will help you move past that stuckness.
Instead of standing in having the goal, and releasing the
underlying wanting approval, control and security that get stirred up,
we shy away from the goal entirely and get stuck in futilely "hoping" it
comes to us. But, it never does come.
Goals, goals, go away!
Most of us hate goals. Why? Because they stir up our aversions,
our dislikes. But, that's the point of doing goal charts in the Release
Technique---to bring these aversions up to the surface so they can be
released. There is no other way to release them. Continuing to
suppress them sure isn't going to do it.
Our passive timidity towards our goals is like boat drifting on the
high seas without a sail, oars, or an engine. We are simply adrift.
The Stand
Are you ready to take a stand with me? A bold one?
I made a personal decision on a goal today and now it is mine. It
is mine for no other reason than because I have claimed it. Not
because of dumb luck, an accident, a stoke of good fortune or
anything else. The cause is always within.
I'm not sure what took me so long to claim it other than an
unconscious doubt, but when I began claiming it today by
assuming it was mine and releasing any thoughts or feelings that
came up contrary to having it, what a powerful feeling flooded through
me. What joy and freedomand knowingness that it was already
mine. I felt it as a "done deal" the moment I made the decision.
Want to know the decision I made?
I made the decision to never, ever "have to" work for a living
every again.
Lost in space
lack and limitation, while your body sat in some tropical paradise? I
know which one I would choose. I'd go for the inner paradise whilst
my body was in a prison cell. How could the other possibly be
paradise?
"Doership" is a bunch of "doo doo"
Is it okay to work? Certainly! But, it should not be required for
survival. It should not be an "I have to work" or an "I should work,"
but rather an "I choose to serve and uplift others from a place of
love."
Our work should come from a place of non-doership, where we
feel we are being not the doer, and simply "allow" the work to get
done perfectly and without exerting mental effort. It is as if the work
is being done "through" us.
There's a saying along these lines, "I do without doing and
everything gets done." This is the state Lester was talking about when
he repeatedly said, "Be not the doer."
No more effort. No more time.
The time for the realization of all our goals is always only NOW,
and it requires no effort. It is simply a "now" assumption of having.
It's a DECISION. It is moving into being the person you wish to
bethe person who already has the goalwhether it be freedom,
prosperity, unlimited happiness, the perfect relationship, a career goal
or a new house.
How would it feel if you had your desire fulfilled right now?
If you can't get yourself to feeling it is yours now, then you will never
have it. It won't happen in ten million years.
Micro vs. Macro goals
We manifest "micro" goals all the time, but somehow always fall
short on the "big" ones.
I hear this all the time:
"I'm seeing a lot of great little gains, but I don't seem to be
achieving as many of my BIG goals as I would like."
how it feels now that you actually have the goal. Is there any effort?
No. Does it remain forever lost in some hazy distant future as
something that you someday "hope" to have? No. Of course not.
Because you already have it. It is yours right now. There is No Effort
and No Time needed to achieve it, because it's yours. This is precisely
the consciousness of having that you must assume to have any
goal. That is the only way you ever achieved any goal. Okay? So take
note of that feeling of having.
4. Now think of a goal you have been wanting very much. Allow
yourself to feel how much you want it.
5. Now picture yourself, as if in a movie, achieving that goal.
Keep it in the third person where you don't quite feel that you have
the goal, but rather the "movie character" version of you has it.
6. Notice the feeling of desire and effort is still there. You still want it.
It still feels like it is "out there" as you think "of it."
7. Now, begin releasing the clutch, the wanting, the underlying
wanting approval, control and security, more and more.
8. And finally, make an inner shift of consciousness where you...
DARE to ASSUME that it is yours RIGHT NOW. That's right. It is no
longer "out there" as if in a movie or in the future. You are it now.
With such an assumption, you've mentally collapsed time and
space. You've dropped all effort. The goal is no longer in some
distant future. It is yours RIGHT NOW. Feel the gratitude of
having it, knowing it is yours now. Feel the ease and happiness
knowing you can now finally REST from that painful desire. It is yours
at last. Get a sense of that. It may feel like, "Ahhhh... thank you!"
Notice the natural release that comes when you move from thinking
of the goal into thinking from the feeling of already having the
goal. Such is the difference between lack/wanting and
abundance/having. Thinking "of it," as most people do, is nothing
more than a weak wish and it will forever remain an idle daydream.
Thinking "from it" is being CAUSE via your
assumption/impudence and it will be demonstrated in your outer
world very quickly.
9. Got it? Feel it is yours now? Congratulations! You made the leap
across the chasmthe "gap" between wanting and having. It is no gap
at all when you do it... but it's an infinite distance if you don't do it. It
takes no time when you do it, and forever if you don't.
10. You're not quite done yet. Remember to PERSIST in this feeling
of HAVING or BEING your goal. If doubts arise, use the Release
Technique to let them go. Thoughts, tendencies, feelings and
resistance may still arise. Allow them up and release them and return
again and again to your controlled and focused feeling of having your
goal in this moment without any effort. Then, go about your day
without effort. Just keep releasing.
The more natural and sustained your feeling of HAVING your goal
now, the faster it will manifest in the outer world for you. It must. It is
absolutely inevitable as your consciousness is the sole cause for
everything you are experiencing. Everything!
All these steps can be summed up in just one step. I have broken
it down into the steps above to help guide you into the feeling of
having or being your goal, as I often see releasers failing to get to this
point---and instead they get stuck endlessly releasing "on" their goals.
The one single step that is required to have anything you desire
is simply this:
