Decisions of Power, Part I:

Escape or Recreate—An Answer to Dissatisfaction

Lecture based Questions:

1. Why is life so complex? When we get a handle on one aspect of our lives, something else rears up and bites us in the ass!

The lower dimensions were designed to follow the law of entropy. In other words, Murphy’s Law is not just for pessimists. There is a reason for this. As we bump our heads on the hard surfaces of life, we learn to wear protection, avoid trouble, assess responsibility, foresee effects, and (best of all) command the environment. We need experience and discipline of the mind to get the hang of it all, and the journey to this wisdom creates a payload of personal power for each of us.

We are being trained to learn to manage several areas of personal life simultaneously. The Mental Body is capable of it, and needs incentive to flex the mental muscles that can make it happen. Nobody likes to work hard without a reason, and the effort of gaining these strengths is not facile. Hence the school of hard knocks that gives us the push we need to acquire higher levels of attitude and thought.

Being bitten in the proverbial ass is an attack. And, as we have learned from the attack chapter, the five elements of attack must all be in place at the same time for an attack to occur.

1) You are physically tired at the time of the attack.

2) Your energies and attention are scattered by responsibilities, concerns, people, and stress.

3) Your atoms are not pointed upward to receive Divine Light.

4) You are not focused on your success.

5) You have recently been engaged in negative or critical thinking.

6) At the moment of the attack, your guard is down, your body is relaxed, and your chakras are receptive.

By the way, being too full of yourself or too smug in your identity can cause your Guardian Angel to push the wake up button. Your earliest warning alarm is to feel dissatisfaction with your relationships or your circumstances.

2. What are the issues that we need to monitor in order to be aware of the whole gestalt of personal life?

The Four-Square aspects of life are a good place to begin.

1) Relationships

2) Supply

3) Health

4) Fulfillment

These are the main categories, but we can fill in some very important sub-headings under each. We can rewrite this list to look thusly:

1) Relationships

A) Romance:

My love partner and I make each other feel attractive, necessary, validated, secure, safe, and lucky.

B) Family:

My relatives all adore each other, we are a pleasure to live with, and we are good listeners and encourage each other.

D) Goals and Daydreams:

God gives me my happiest dreams to show me where to go.

3. When I want to escape or leave a situation, are you saying that my neurosis has caused the whole milieu? Will I create the situation over again if I change jobs or find a new relationship or move to a new city?

Yes. Specifically, you command your situation—how you feel about the people and the environment, how they and it respond to you. It’s all about you, Baby. Your words and your beliefs are very powerful and the universe responds. No matter where you go, your neurosis will attract people and situations that fit the order of your mind.

The ding in your car is there because you have a “hit me” sign on your back, and someone obeyed you. You were yelled at because you commanded others to be discourteous to you. The sour atmosphere of your workplace or your home is created by your personal mythology about people. The shyster who snookered you out of money is just hooking in to your ideas about money and people. The mess your family makes in the house is your manifestation of how you believe families behave. If you get low pay, it is because you associate this type of paycheck with yourself. The hard schedule clogs up your day because you overvalue being occupied and undervalue personal space.

You might get a payoff by kvetching about these things. You might not realize that grousing about them keeps the thought forms alive that manifest them. Even Soul Mates can screw each other with bad attitudes. Bad Juju can pollute the most perfect circumstances. The way out depends on several factors. Ask yourself the following questions.

1) Contract Check—Did my neurosis commit to this situation in the first place? Or is this something that could fit me if it felt better?

2) Reason Check—Did I choose this path because I was afraid of loss or lack or the opinions of others? Or, was this on my list of things I would genuinely like to do?

3) Behavior Check—Did I build up a dynamic of bad chi by doing any of the following?

•violating the territory of others •acting aggressively

•stepping on their emotional corns •poking at their sore points

•ignoring their primary issues •not listening

•doing it my way or the highway •failing to package myself properly

•making others feel insecure, impotent, or inferior

4) Discernment Check—Did I step on a rake by doing any of the following:

•fail to consider the feelings of others by my choices of expression

•blurt out information or talk about myself to people who didn’t ask or who shouldn’t ask or who might not understand me

•say Okay without taking three days to consider wisely

5) Karma Check—Do I feel that there is unfinished business here? Or has all sense of bonding or obligation been used up and dissolved?

6) Keystone Check—What is the single most prominent issue that I would like to see fixed right now? Is this a recurring theme in my life?

Now that you have assessed the situation and your feelings in some detail, you can start fixing things for the better immediately. Whether or not you decide to retreat and move on to a different venue depends on your results from the above check list.

If you find that most of the discord could be linked to your behavior, this can be easily neutralized by awareness and some retraining. If you feel that the situation has value to you, you can start transforming your relationship to the environment through affirmations. In these ways, you can make your present situation a light hearted and nurturing circumstance.

If you, on the other hand, find that your reasons for getting involved in the first place were questionable, then it is high time to get your life back on track. Every day that you are not doing your Thang is a day of procrastination. As George Eliot said, “It’s never too late to be who you might have been.” [from Bits and Pieces].

4. How does the Astral Body create these situations?

Neurosis does the job on your life. Through thought forms, you attract people and events that fulfill the idea that the neurosis has decreed. These thought forms are like magnets that attach to any person or circumstance that is in agreement with the neurosis.

5. Can clairvoyance help to make my life easier?

Not in itself, but it can be a tool in the toolbox of life. When you practice it in conjunction with self-awareness, then you can use it to help yourself to make good choices. This sometimes requires psychotherapy.

The most helpful clairvoyant tool or behavior is to dialogue with your Guardian Angel constantly and follow her urgings.

6. Draw or describe one of your helpers.

You may use a symbol or describe a fragrance, color, shape, or name to help ground the knowledge of your helper.

7. Exercise: Saying it and watching it happen

Sit comfortably so that your body does not distract you.

Breathe normally with your eyes closed.

Say the following affirmations with enthusiasm and humor. Do not worry about believing them.

I feel great!

I have a fabulous attitude!

I am cozy and happy.

I am always surrounded by good, loving friends.

Whoopeeœ! I’m having fun!

This is even better than I could have imagined!
