Once upon a time, there was a Thought, Awareness and a Water
Drop…(Part Five): DAY 474
Here we come to the
FINAL step – the Practical Corrective Living, where one in fact APPLY the
change in REALITY consistently, until eventually, the self-change is noticeable
within oneself and one’s behaviour – which will be the moment where the green
water drop, will change entirely to purple. We’ll continue with this process in
the next post.
As explained in the previous post – Writing, Self Forgiveness
and Commitment Statements opens up the POTENTIAL for actual self and living change,
for change to become REAL, constant and consistent within self and self’s
living. So, let us have a look at the three dimensions again – this time from
seeing what it would mean to apply / live
change until the change becomes self within and without:
One have to understand that, changing oneself in relation to
a point / dimension within the Mind – will be a process, because one had
initially automatically lived-out a particular reaction / self-definition and
now one has to move out of the automation and at the same time redefine and
change oneself. We will show how this works as we walk through each individual
dimension we had walked as examples within the posts thus far.
Dimension 1: Word
Definitions
Automated Mind Program:
Initially, the moment the words “handsome / beautiful” would
come up in the Mind – many images / projections would come up within the Mind,
along with emotional reactions that would lead to comparison and self-judgment.
Practical Application
Process and Change
Now, every time ANY reference of “handsome / beautiful”
comes up within self – self deliberately in the moment, immediately REMIND
oneself that one is deciding to not participate in such definitions of “handsome
/ beautiful”, but that one had decided to focus oneself / one’s life on one’s
own personal process and not be distracted by such definitions and reactions to
words in the MIND. So, instead of ‘following the Mind’ when images /
projections come up the moment one see/ hear the words handsome / beautiful –
one in real-time, in the moment speak a self forgiveness statement, for example
“I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to in this moment
want to follow my thoughts / projections and the images that came up within me
in relation to the words handsome / beautiful. I commit myself to no longer
participate in such distractions in my Mind.” Then you breathe in and out and
let the point go within yourself and continue focusing on what you were doing
in your world.
So, one continue walking this point – changing SELF IN THE
MOMENT, from stopping continuing following the mind / participating in the Mind
and bring your focus back to yourself, to breath, to the physical and your
immediate environment.
Dimension 2: Comparison
Automated Mind
Program:
Here one found how comparison activates within one’s Mind,
because when one looked at others in real life and/or in magazines / TV /
movies – one focused more on their external appearance and how it compares to
one’s own external appearance. So, because one’s Mind was preoccupied with
external appearance – this became the focus of what one sees in one’s external
world, which leads to the activation of comparison in one’s Mind and so also
the emotion of jealousy.
Practical Application
Process and Change
Now, as one is walking around a lot of people, reading
magazines and/or watching TV / Movie and one find in a moment a comparison
comes up in the Mind: one IMMEDIATELY stop within oneself, speak a quick self
forgiveness statement for example: “I forgive myself that I have accepted and
allowed myself to access comparison – wanting to compare my external appearance
to that of another. I commit myself to stop this comparison, realising that I
decide to not preoccupy myself with external appearances and comparison”. Then,
one change oneself in the moment and instead of comparing external appearances
– rather see what you can LEARN from another by observing them. Meaning, change
how one see others from comparing oneself to them – to seeing who they are as
individuals: how they dress / walk and express themselves through words /
behaviour. Realising that the person you’re looking at / observing is an
INDIVIDUAL that is expressing themselves through words / behaviour / dress. The
moment we start comparing – we stop realising that human beings are individuals
and instead start seeing them as ‘competition’,
instead start using them in our minds to fuel our own issues / problems with
comparison and jealousy. So, this is an practical application to consider when
working with comparison – to in the moment stop the comparison in the Mind and
look / observe the individual for who they are.
Dimension 3: Self
Judgement
Automated Mind
Program:
Here one found that the moment comparison activates,
self-judgment also comes up in the Mind – where one starts bullying oneself in
one’s own Mind with the focus of the self-judgment primarily directed
to/towards external appearances.
Practical Application
Process and Change
So, every time a self-judgment comes up – before you take it
any further in the mind and continue participating in it and generating
judgmental emotions / experiences: one speak a self forgiveness statement, for
example “I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to in this
moment judge myself. I commit myself to stop this self-judgment as I have
decided to stop bullying myself in my own mind and instead work on supporting
myself – rather than attacking myself.” Then one breathe in and breathe out –
stabilizing oneself in the body, for a moment just being there with you and the
body, no mind interference: to start assisting
and supporting yourself and the body to develop an equal relationship,
where you assist and support the body as the body assists and supports you to
live/exist within this world / reality. So, in the moment you stop the
self-judgment and stabilize yourself within and with the body – it’s like in
this moment you remind yourself to be gentle with yourself, with the body and
not attack / bully yourself and the body with the Mind.
Here are some examples of practical application and self
change in the moment. Obviously, there are many different ways to approach a
point in the Mind with using the tools of forgiveness, commitments and breath
in real-time – but what I wanted to show here is how one change IN THE MOMENT.
So, with each practical application process – where one CHANGE
IN THE MOMENT, one will find with remaining consistent in one’s application,
the thoughts / reactions will start becoming less and less intense. Until
eventually, the thoughts / reactions will come up ever so slightly and will be
really easy to simply breathe and stabilize oneself within. This is because, if
one would have continued participating in the mind in the dimensions of the
words, comparisons and self-judgment – it keeps on generating the necessary
energy / emotions for the Mind to keep such programs / dimensions / reactions
in the Mind “alive”. So, if you start stopping participation and not follow the
mind, but instead change and stabilize yourself – the mind’s points has less
and less energy / fuel to charge the programs / reactions, because you are
stabilizing YOURSELF in the PHYSICAL, instead of charging up the Mind.
We’ll in posts to come explain this change from Mind
participation to Physical stability, specifically focusing on why it is not
enough to simply just ‘stop thoughts / emotions’ and just breathe / stabilize
oneself – but one has to have SPECIFIC self-change applications in relation to
the mind’s programs / reactions.
