CHAPTER 17- "TRANSFORMATION"
792. A quick little surrender can SOMETIMES bring about a MAJOR CHANGE in our life.
793. The mechanism of SURRENDER will have a major impact on:
Health, Wealth, & Happiness.
794. Keep a LIST OF GOALS & CHECK OFF THE GAINS as they occur.
795. THE MIND has a tendency to DISCOUNT THE VERY TECHNIQUE
that brought about the changes. (THE EGO WILL TRY TO GET YOU TO STOP USING
THE TECHNIQUE, DOING MEDITATION, YOGA, REPROGRAMMING YOUR MIND, ETC.
Its goal is to stay in power & keep you under control & enslaved to its programs)
796. Transitions from one state to a HIGHER STATE ARE NOT DIFFICULT TO MAKE.
797. They may only seem "difficult" to us because of current PERCEPTIONS.
798. What now seems IMPOSSIBLE will become old hat
after we have been practicing the technique for A WHILE.
799. As resistances comes up, we can BEGIN SURRENDERING them
& LETTING THEM GO RIGHT NOW.
800. WATCHING HUNDREDS of families, friends, patients, & ex-patients transform their lives.
801. Make an inner DECISION to LET GO RESISTING HIGHER LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
802. Make a DECISION to STOP DENYING THE HIGHER LEVELS TO YOURSELF.
803. Make a DECISION to LET GO OF ALL BLOCKS TO HAPPINESS, health,
ACCEPTANCE, LOVE, & PEACE.
804. The average person is PREOCCUPIED WITH THE BODY, its functioning, & APPEARANCE.
805. The AVERAGE MIND is beleaguered with worries, fears of sickness,
suffering, disease, & death.
806. With such INNER TENSION, by the end of the day the average person
frequently feels like a VICTIM: DRAINED, EMPTY, & EXHAUSTED.
807. There is a mental fixation on attitudes & approval of other persons
towards the body, its appearance & behavior.
808. "I Am A Body." is a VERY LIMITED level of consciousness.
809. BE AWARE of HOW MUCH ENERGY IS DRAINED by this
CONSTANT PREOCCUPTATION with the body.
810. After letting go of fears, concerns & belief systems,
physical illnesses begin to resolve automatically.
811. Shift "I am the body" to "I have a body."
812. When the mind is asleep, the body has no sensation.
813. PEOPLE ARE not really RESPONDING TO OUR body at all but to our INNER ATTITUDES,
our ENERGY STATE, & OUR LEVEL OF AWARENESS.
814. GUILT REQUIRES PUNISHMENT, sickness, PAIN & SUFFERING.
815. DISEASES TAKE EPIDEMIC FORMS DUE TO TELEVISION & MEDIA PUBLICITY.
816. A person who is free of negativity & guilt tends to be free of disease & suffering.
817. A magazine publisher was in a HOPELESS STATE of advanced multiple sclerosis.
818. She began to undo all of her GUILT & RESENTMENT
through the mechanism of FORGIVENESS. The disease reversed itself.
819. HEALTH & well-being, are the consequence of LETTING GO of GUILT
& other NEGATIVITIES, as well as the letting go of our RESISTANCE TO POSITIVE STATES.
820. Through SURRENDER at great depth, such persons, have let go of SELF-PITY,
GUILT, & RESISTANCE TO LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES.
821. ILLNESS is a barrier to personal HAPPINESS.
822. This makes obvious our feelings, thoughts, & attitudes about MONEY.
823. To the mind that holds NEGATIVE THOUGHTS, MONEY IS A "PROBLEM."
824. It is a SOURCE OF ENDLESS WORRY & ANXIETY, HOPELESSNESS, & DESPAIR.
825. A feeling of FINANCIAL LIMITATION, LACK, & DEPRIVATION.
826. The feeling "I can't" due to fear & limitation is often skirted
by SIMPLY AVOIDING the whole issue of money & resigning oneself
to a LOW SOCIAL ECONOMIC STATUS AS "INEVITABLE."
827. If our VIEW OF OURSELVES IS SMALL, due to GUILT,
The unconscious mind will bring those ECONOMIC CONDITIONS INTO OUR LIFE.
828. MONEY stands for SECURITY, POWER, GLAMOUR, SEXUAL ATTRACTION,
SUCCESSFUL COMPETITION, SELF-WORTH, & OUR VALUE TO OTHERS.
829. DESIRE to be respected & valued. A feeling of INNER WORTH.
We may be searching for a feeling rather than for MONEY.
We may be looking for the feelings that MONEY will bring to us.
To get the money, we must first create those feelings
without first having the money.
