The future must become the present
in the imagination of the one who had wisely
and consciously creates circumstances.
I think right now everybody wants to create circumstances
becuse they don't like the ones they find themselves in.
But you see,
you cannot change the circumstance you find yourself in.
You can only change your perception of them.
And when you do that, you change the circumstance.
So we say here,
the future must become the present
in the imagination of the one
who would wisely unconsciously create circumstance.
We must translate vision into being.
If you can observe how you're thinking,
notice how you're acting
and pay attention to how you're feeling.
The moment you become conscious
of what you're unconscious to,
it means you're no longer the program.
Now you're the consciousness observing the program.
And this is when we begin to objectify
our subjective selves.
And the more we can look at ourselves
through the eyes of someone else.
The more conscious we can become of that,
the less unconscious we're prone to be in our normal life.
Everybody is born with various levels of willpower,
but one thing we never get taught to do
is to actually develop willpower.
And willpower is like a muscle.
I call it a mental biceps.
If I could draw biceps around my mind,
that would be my willpower.
The three ways to develop willpower.
One, finish what you begin.
Two, finish it well beyond your expectations.
Three, do a little bit more than you think
you're able to do.
All of these three ways require effort,
and that effort is willpower.
When you pray for something, in other words,
when you want something, believe that you have received it.
Now, what does that mean?
You have to feel in this moment, the fullness
of life that is there when you go deep enough
into the being of you.
Then you feel there's the fullness of life
and you feel there is a sense of joyful aliveness.
There is a sense of power in you that you sense
that is the presence in you
is there is a power in that presence.
And that power is
there's a something that you could solve.
There's a fullness in it already.
When we begin to take conscious charge
of our thoughts and words,
then we have tools that we can use.
I know this sounds simple, but remember,
the point of power is always in the present moment.
It is important for you to understand
that your mind is not in control.
You are in control of your mind.
The higher self is in control.
You can stop thinking those old thoughts
when your old thinking tries to come back and say,
it's so hard to change.
Take mental command, say to your mind,
I now choose
to believe it is becoming easy for me to make change.
Don't give up until you get where you want to be.
however long that is.
Step by step,
piece by piece,
book by book,
seminar by seminar.
Do it until.
Go for it.
Until is a very important word.
It's magic.
It means that you'll never give up.
Can you rise above situations also
and become free of that reactivity that,
for example, the continuous complaining in your mind
about what's wrong with the world.
Some people continuously claim
what's wrong with the world.
Others com complain more
What's wrong with their life?
And that's a very seductive thing
because, uh, the ego likes that.
It inflates the ego.
If you complain about other people,
you experience an ego inflation.
Why?
Because
the ego feels
itself to be superior
when it can complain about others.
It's implied.
You are having, you are a judge of the other,
and you pronounce the other as
delinquent, insufficient, not good enough or bad
wanting in the old sense of the word,
there is seductive to experience ego inflation and all that
As you away conspiracy, become more free
of this reactivity, then
what the words you speak,
the actions you take in your immediate surroundings
make the world a better place.
and you break the karmic chain,
which is action, reaction, action, reaction.
Some people who are, who come into this world,
into a very dysfunctional family environment,
and there are millions of people
who are born into a very dysfunctional family environment.
And it's a huge, huge challenge
because if you are, if you're not given enough love or
attention, you're not encouraged as a child.
If that is missing in your early years,
it is a huge, a huge burden or dysfunction that you
carry in many cases for the rest of your life.
And in many cases, you inflict the
same thing on your children
that your parents have inflicted on you.
There has not been enough
consciousness to break the pattern.
So those patterns that we inherited.
It's only through waking up,
through becoming aware that
these patterns can be transcended.
That is our task here, and that's how
you make the world a better place.
You have to the, the dysfunctional patterns
in your own life, you have to look at them.
In terms, and I know many people who've had very
dysfunctional upbringing
and then have suffered enormously because they were forced to,
because of their unconsciousness, not enough awareness.
They were forced to reenact the
same patterns that they experienced.
And then they bring more
suffering into this world.
Are you bringing more suffering into this world
or are you bringing healing into this world?
Healing is not weakness.
Healing is power.
Remember, you are the only
person that thinks in your mind.
You are the power and authority in your world.
Your thoughts and beliefs of the past have created this moment
and all the moments up to this moment
What you are now choosing to believe and think and say
will create the next moment
and the next day and the next month and the next year.
Yes, you darling.
I could give you marvelous advice coming from
my years of experience,
yet you can continue to choose to think the same old thoughts.
You can refuse to change
and keep all your problems.
You are the power in your world.
You get to have what ever
you choose to think.
This moment begins the new process.
A new beginning for you is
right here and right now.
Isn't that great to know this moment
The point of power is where the change begins.
Stop for a moment and catch your thought.
What are you thinking right now?
If it is true that your thoughts shape your life
Would you want what you were just
thinking right now to become true for you?
If it's a thought of worry or anger
or hurt or revenge or fear,
how do you think this thought will come back to you?
It is not always easy to catch our
thoughts because they move so swiftly.
However, we can begin right now
to watch and listen to what we say
If you hear yourself expressing negative words of any sort,
stop in mid-sentence.
Either rephrase the sentence or just drop it.
You could even say to it ou
imagine yourself in line at a cafeteria
or perhaps at a buffet table in a luxurious hotel
instead of dishes of food
There are dishes of thoughts.
You get to choose any and all thoughts you wish
These thoughts create your future experiences.
Now, if you choose thoughts that will create problems and pain,
that's rather foolish.
It's like choosing food that always makes you ill.
We may do this once or twice,
but soon we learn which foods upset our bodies.
We stay away from them.
Let us stay away from thoughts
that create problems and pain.
There's nothing in the world wrong with pursuing anything
as long as you stay consistent with the truth.
The truth is the most important thing you can have in your life
if you become a person
If you want anything to work on in your life, work on this.
Everything that comes out of your mouth,
every word that comes out of your mouth,
is exactly as it is and exactly as you are.
That's a wonderful place to try to get to.
All right.
Now that can be construed as a goal,
all right, in the goal setting sense.
But each time that you slip doesn't mean you're less than valuable,
that you're unimportant.
It doesn't mean that at all.
It simply means that
You have something to learn from slipping and
so in this moment, appreciate what you have
to learn from slipping rather than saying,
I shouldn't have and I failed and that makes me bad,
and now I'm deficient, and so on.
You see, the more you operate from goal setting in the sense of
repairing deficiencies,
the more your life becomes one of striving
your life becomes a striving
And when you arrive at the place where you want it to be,
you don't know how to be there
because your whole life has been striving.
If it's a week from Thursday that you're looking
toward whatever it is, that
party or the bank account that you're going to now have the
amount of money that you wanted in it,
and you finally get there after all the struggling,
and then Thursday arrive,
you don't know how to deal with that because your whole life has
been an anticipation of,
and so when you get there, you suffer from this disease called more.
And I've gotta get more of that
