Within each of us, in our hearts and in our minds, there lives a
special kind of light. In truth, it is... [continued]

Not Good Enough
Is it ever true that you aren’t
good enough?
What would being truly good
enough bring you, if you were?
Safety, Ease, Empowerment, Rest
and Relaxation, Gratitude, Joy, Worth.
A clear image of the Perfect Me,
the one who is Good Enough.
This imagined-one-that-is-enough is
in the future, or hanging over your head in an imagined ghost ideal version.
So is it true that you are not
good enough right now, in this present state (even with that blunder you made,
or with being mediocre)?
Are you sure you are lacking
safety, ease, joy, peace, empowerment, joy, worth, gratitude….or whatever you
think you are missing?
No.
Who would you be without the
belief that you aren’t good enough, even though you just put your foot in your
mouth, even though you have debt and no job, even though you aren’t your ideal
weight?
Without that thought?
Such peace and joy, to think of
it not being necessary to do ANYTHING to be good enough.
"There is something whispering to you at
every moment, whether in home or office, in both success and failure, regardless
of age and environment and background. It is the faint but persistent whisper
that _everything can be different_. .Listen, and you can hear it right now, at this very moment, even
while you read this blog." VH
Can YOU remember a time when you were really GOOD
ENOUGH,
Close your eyes and fully associate with that memory by going back to that
time,
putting yourself in your own body,
looking through your own eyes,
seeing what you saw,
hearing what you heard and
have the feelings of being really GOOD ENOUGH.
The Silva Method is pretty neat. It uses anchoring, a secret place, future pacing and representational systems
(similar to those of NLP which were derived
from Virginia Satir). ACIM tells us the only problem is a belief in separation from God. Which puts a new spin on the blue-far,med mirror. The Silva Centering Exercise Meditation -
Silva Method is on YouTube @ thesilvamethod
The
Three Finger Technique is just creating appositive anchor. We all have anchors.
Some negative.
"Anchoring"
refers to the process of associating an internal response with some external or
internal trigger so that the response may be quickly, either consciously or
unconsciously, reaccessed. Anchoring is a process that on the surface is
similar to the "conditioning" technique used by Pavlov to create a
link between the hearing of a bell and salivation in dogs.
When
the phone rings do you jump? Be glad and grateful you can hear the phone ring. Make
a mental image of that experience. Now, remember the sound of a cash register
going ka-ching and visualize the phone. It is tricks like that you can use to
associate negative anchors with positive anchors.
David Seabury, in
his new book, "Adventures in Self-Discovery," speaks of "psychic
pus" as we would speak of a boil, a cancer, or any other morbid secretion
in the human body. But this means a subjective, a subconscious, and primarily a
mental state. So while the physician and the biological chemist are telling us
what is good to eat to compensate for our chemical deficiencies, we can go a
step farther and co-operate with them in providing a mental diet, for without a
proper mental attitude, a physical diet is seldom complete enough to do
anything other than produce a temporary cure.
We affirm that causation is
invisible and, like the psychologist, largely emotional. We also affirm that
spiritual inspiration and spiritual realization are necessary to a
well-regulated psychic life. The physician diagnoses the body and prescribes a
remedy; so does the psychologist. Both are good, each is necessary, but I
thoroughly agree with Seabury, Link, Jung and some other leading
psychologists, that unless the soul or the psyche is more nearly spiritualized,
there cannot be any permanent healing. There is a growing tendency in the field
of psychology to return their patients to some field of religion. This is an
amazing confession that the psyche does not live by bread alone.
