Locked on



You can't take a subject and just because it's
important get Law of Attraction to respond to you
differently. If you feel bad, you're locked off
of your signal, which means everything you want
is now being jeopardized because you are choosing
a topic - and you say, "Well, it's really, really
an important topic!"

And we say, well, it surely must be because you're
giving up life force, you're giving up clarity,
you're giving up health now and in the future,
you're giving up your bodily conditions functioning
properly, you're giving up the mate that you're
wanting to attract, you're giving up the dollars.
You're giving up every single thing - for this moment
in time (not forever). But for as long as you're
choosing this "important topic," you are holding
yourself apart from what you want.

And it's not any one moment that is so important,
it's that you develop such habits and patterns of
doing that. You get whole philosophies built around it
- you call it "the sacrificing servant." You call it
"the willingness to be there for a friend." You call it
"tough love." You call it all kinds of virtuous,
good-sounding things, and we call it 'locked off'.

This is amazingly true. One does not always realize they are developing into a habit of moments like this.

The "important topic" not necessarily a bad thing except one can block one's path by holding one's self apart. In my case I would have said my willingness to give my daughters more than they needed by cushioning them. I feel I was deflecting my signal.

Now that I've seen this I've been able to free myself - letting me evolve further. I believe this is very healthy for all of us.

Hi Jimmy James,
the concentration in the cats eyes as he focuses and gets ready to pounce
actually a vulnerable moment as he discounts distraction from other things around.
Focused on his prey, he is at the same time the vulnerable prey, though he has few enemies to fear.

Just like each animal lives his life in different ways, every human chooses how to enjoy his day.

Sure, choices in a supermarket are limited by what's on the self, and choices in life are limited by what's on our plate.

But I'm often caught in a paradox of letting the actions of others spoil my day - sure if I see injustice, I must have my say

But I cannot presume to know what is right or best for all, I can only search for what is right for me. Those who care for others I esteem, volunteers over paid carers above all.
For paid workers do good,but they do it to pay the bills, volunteer workers do good to do good.
But it is not always, I can not pretend to be happy and help others when I cannot even help myself.
Thus it is often said that one should seek what is best for one (not in some selfish way) but as in a wholesome way, then maybe what is best for one may not be the best for all, but can be shared by all - painting, art, music, leisure, entertainment, housing, transport, health care et al

Thanks Katie,
What is healthy for you is also healthy for everyone elese imvolved in your life. For as you evolve further, you also raise the bar and bring others along with you to that higher level.

Yes, it may have been deflecting your signal, but in my mind, your signal was involved with your daughters. They needed you and your example to grow. So your energies, love, and life were focused on them. The key that just popped into my mind is "being in balance."
As the kids mature and leave the nest, then parents have time to explore new areas and rediscover who they are and redirect their focus and energies into new discoveries.

Quasar,
That is exactly right. I could and hopefully never presume what is "right" for someone else. Everything that happens in my life is a result of a choice that I have made. It is always an "inside" job. What happens outside of me is colored by my stories, my hurts, my pain, and my loves. That is why two people can see the same thing and have two different perspections. They are both right.
That same realization also empowers me as now I know that my thoughts, my choices, my loves create my life. I need to take care of "SELF" 1st to be as healthy as possible to be able to give some of it away.

So true. I'm not the same as I was then. I, through my experiences have evolved int another version... although their are many possibilities..I chose this one.
