Which side of the tree of life are you living on?
Posted by: | Comments
When you see a tree what comes to your mind? Pleasant memories growing up as a child? A place to go for shade or gather cover from the rain? A great piece of fruit, vine ripened and juicy waiting to eat?
For most of us the tree symbolizes a happy time, a place of exploration and freedom.
As you look at the tree of life what do you immediately notice?
Can you see there are no leaves and the branches are dead on the left side and there is growth and green leaves on the right?
Just like a tree that has a root system, we as people have a starting place many of us call our family roots. Our personal history. Those experiences and events that shape and determine who we have become today.
As children all we wanted was the love and acceptance of our parents. As we grow up we discovered that what it took to get Mom’s approval often times was different than Dad’s.
If both of your parents were not around or one or both having there own issues trying to survive growing up themselves there was little time and attention for you. So you learned quickly what you needed to do to get the love you have always wanted.
Understanding Barksdale’s Law of Consciousness Part 3
Posted by: | CommentsStep #1. Choose
Conceive exactly what it is you want to achieve, whether it be control our temper, improve our personality, find a congenial mate, achieve success in our business, heal ourselves of disease, or build our self-esteem. The only thing that can limit or defeat us is a lack of individual consciousness that our specific desire is attainable.
Basically, what do you really, really, really, really, really, really, really, want? In order to achieve this all important consciousness, our objective needs to be something that we want intensely, that we can clearly conceive ourselves being or having, that we have a clear conscience about its righteousness for us and that it is something to which we are willing to devote unrelenting time and effort.
However, before we can choose our outcomes, we need to know our long-range outcomes. What is of most importance to our lives and what is our most pressing need. In so doing, we need to keep in mind that a balanced life is vitally necessary to our peace of mind, health and happiness. This will impact our individual desires in all areas of our lives – social, mental, physical, financial, spiritual, career and family. In order to determine exactly what is most needful to our progress and happiness we need to make a specific detailed written description of our outcomes just as if we were placing an order.
Step #2 Affirm
Construct clear and concise affirmations so that the desired things or characteristics you have chosen are now yours. This identifies you with your desire and provides the pattern for the Law of Consciousness to fulfill. Therefore, write each affirmation down in present tense and in minute detail, in emotionally charged words, power words, and make the description warm, colorful and exciting.
Before working with your affirmations, consciously relax your mind and body. Preferably, just before you arise in the morning and immediately after retiring at night. Repeat each affirmation for 2-6 minutes preferably aloud, and at the same time vividly visualize your outcome and the conditions resulting from its achievement as accomplished facts.
