Lesson 8 - Lessons in Positivity
Abstract: This lesson covers topics of Positivity, Self-Worth and Forgiveness. Their meaning and relevance in implementing positivity are explained.
Take good look at the picture below. We will cover topics appearing in this picture from bottom to top.
It uses a power tower to represent the items. At the bottom are five necessary aspects before we deliver the assertion. These are much like the foundation of the tower.
They are capacity to implement positivity, having self worth, capacity for forgiveness (using the duster), having requisite skills of communication, and freedom from handbrakes. These the the primary requirements. Once we have capacity for all of them then the process beginning with structuring an assertion and ending with delivering it to our subconscious mind takes place. So essentially we need to acquire 5 = 7 skills at least by practice to make assertions work all the time. Most important is to change the nature of our mind talk.
In this lesson we are covering item 3. It is about forgiveness.
Forgiveness as a duster
Let us say I make a statement: "I want to reach the station in time to catch the train." This message to my Subconscious Mind may not work, so I recast the message, as "I am catching the train to …….scheduled to leave at…." or "I am reaching the station well in time to be seated in the train to……… scheduled to leave at…. ." The latter two messages my be garbled delivered as the previous statement – "I want to reach the station in time." (as above written ) is not wiped out. The process of wiping the previous statement is called forgiveness hence forgiveness is a duster. This I do by saying "I let go, release and relinquish in content and intent the statement about reaching the station I just made" and say one of the other two messages observing the other rules of messaging.
Forgiveness as a process
We have seen earlier that there is a consensual reality situation. There is subjective experience of that reality situation. There is also the I, when there is a conflict between the subjective experience and the I, and I cannot heal this conflict, what results is hurt, pain, anger, hatred, resentment, guilt, jealousy, bickering….. . We are unable to bring to mind the person, or the event, or the experience, or the behaviour allowing peaceful and safe, harmless passage. The peace of our experiential mind is disturbed putting this to peace or restoring peace to it is forgiveness. The process is simple. The dynamic will be learnt later. Let us see and use the process.
- I am willing
- I am willing to let go
- I am willing to release
- I am willing to relinquish
- I am willing to let go, release and relinquish
- I am willing to let go release and relinquish the need and or desire to be affected by the recall to hold on to the feeling generated by recall of (person, event, behaviour, occurrence, experience.)
Benefits from Forgiveness
Forgiveness gives us opportunity to move ahead in life leaving the baggage behind. Forgiveness helps to break the back pulling, non productive, damaging effects of the past affecting the present and the future.
Forgiveness helps to get on in life, move ahead in life, unburden.
Forgiveness is affording oneself to giving in to change for the better.
Process of Forgiveness
We have already done one process for forgiveness. The other two are:
- Sit on a milestone of a past age when you could forgive with ease. Bring the person, the event, the occurrence causing hurt, anger, resentment, hatred, pain, insult, jealousy to mind. Carry out the forgiveness exercise, fill the vacuum created, by making this statement. I love peace, harmony, love liking to prevail in my mind with regard to, I am free, I am free, I am free.
- Imagine yourself as a child of six months age or one year or two years age. Imagine yourself standing in front of yourself. Miniaturize yourself to the size of the infants fist. Place yourself in your heart. Next bring the person to be forgiven before your. Miniaturize the person to the size of your fist. Place the person in your heart. Now get yourself to shown love, affection, harmony, to shower on the other and also yourself. Relax and let that love, that harmony spread over your entire body. Now open your eyes.
- Forgiveness is also shedding the cloak.
- Forgiveness: Write a letter you don't post or post with incorrect/incomplete address
- Two chair method.
Summary : We have seen many dimensions of forgiveness. It is perhaps the most significant capacity to make positivity messaging work. The process of forgiveness and using it as a duster have been covered.
