The Train Wreck
Things will never be the same ...and truly, you don't want them to be!
Just last week, I found out that one of my friends has been separated from her husband for over six months. She had moved out because she had been experiencing something on an energetic level that was having a tormenting affect on her psyche.
Thinking herself to be in mid-life crisis, she tried anti-depressants. However, she had an undesirable allergic reaction to whatever she was given. So she decided to remain off all medication and get herself into counseling. In her work with a counselor, she began learning to take care of herself. And as she continued her work, she finally decided that, with her husband being so disinterested and despondent toward her in any and all ways, that to honor and love herself, she needed to move out. Her family (parents and such) all thought she was crazy, and held the view, “No wonder her poor husband is despondent toward her.”
About 4 months into the separation, her husband called and asked her to come over. Hearing a sense of urgency in his voice, she wondered what could possibly be so pressing, and why she was even going over there. He hadn't needed or wanted her for so long, and had been totally despondent toward her for more years than she cared to remember. But here she was, jumping to his call, as if he still cared about her.
Upon arriving, he informed her that he'd been seeing another woman for two years, and the woman’s husband had just caught them together in public and punched his lights out. Now, being afraid of losing his reputation and his job (he and the woman worked together in the same work place,) he was ‘fessing up.
Two years! He insisted that it was more of an emotional affair than physical - due to "getting it up & keeping it up" problems, quite likely related to his feelings of guilt. They had, nevertheless, had each other to connect with emotionally and to do things with for over two years. No wonder she was “last man out” in her own marriage! Her husband had allowed and sought out the other woman, and she invaded their marriage and was literally taking her husband’s attention from her!
My friend was blown away. She simply could not get her mind around such a bazaar betrayal. The fact that she had no knowledge of it -consciously - was mind-altering, as it should be. However, she did have knowledge of it - at a “cellular” level (and she later acknowledged this to me, upon further discussion). This phenomenon will be explained shortly in the first session of this course.
Today, two months later, she lovingly refers to the night that her husband got his lights punched out and fessed up about the affair as: "The Train Wreck." You may be wondering why she would be loving about it? How, you might be asking, did she come to view this event differently? That night, she eventually realized, was the night that a Train Wreck miraculously brought them back together again
Nothing is the same for the two of them ... and everything she'd ever wanted in her relationship with her husband is now occurring. New ground is being explored and new communication is being learned. We now have two willing partners standing in agreement for their marriage.
Train Wrecks throw everything and everybody off track and interrupt all mindless, hurtful activity ...and this is a good thing! I suspect that you may have purchased this course because there's been a Train Wreck in your marriage, and you are currently hoping that there is a way to get your marriage back on track. There is. And that's what this entire course is all about.
The personal work you are about to do, in combination with a support person and the power of MasterMinding, will immediately begin to transform you and your fear about your situation. It is this work that will energetically reach out over your situation, causing new connections to unfold for you and your spouse.
This is not a "get-it-all-fixed-quick" promise. This course is about you being willing and commited about doing the work that it will take: 1) to alter how you have previously participated in your marriage, and 2) to begin to use “high vibrational language” that will dissolve the hardened barriers between the two of you. Your hearts have been shut down, and we are going to open things up through new perspectives and getting deliberate about what we want and how we put the energy for it to occur in motion.
It's time to let go of limited ideas, memories and beliefs from the past - especially those having to do with it being more important to be "right," than loving and being loved.
When you feel defenseless, do not rush about trying to meet the situation head on with some outer action. Become quiet and work inwardly to attain an uplifted state of mind. Then observe circumstances as your "no" power of mind to cut off fear. When you no longer feel fearful, you are well on your way; you are well on your way to achieving successful results in what you had thought was an im'possible' situation.-Catherine Ponder
My MasterMind support for you . . .
In this moment, I am seeing for you that you are not defenseless, because the two of your spirits know perfectly how to deliver you through this, right now. All obstacles and barriers to the supremacy of spirit are now dissolved in this situation, quickly and in peace. The divine plan now manifests for the good of all concerned. Nothing is impossible with Infinite Intelligence, so I do not accept or see this as an impossible situation. With the visioning power of two people - two spirits - in agreement, the impossible now comes to pass in this situation.
SESSION 1 > The Physics of the Love Connection
And we are put on earth a little space.
That we may learn to bear the beams of love.
―William Blake
This first session is pivotal for your understanding of what needs to happen right now ENERGETICALLY to stop your divorce from going forward, assuming, of course, that this is what you truly want. In it you will be learning how to create with your mate a love-filled, happy, harmonious life.
This session's exercise will build the foundational piece for all else that will follow. Be sure not to skip over the exercise or the thought expander sections of this session. This entire course is built upon the science of what happens energetically in relationships and why things go sideways, repeatedly and without any apparent end.
You MUST understand fully how you are participating in what's happening - without beating yourself up or making yourself any more wrong than you already have been.
As you read the information in this session, and as you come to understand what's happening at an energetic level, you will become more and more aware of what you are doing while you are doing it, and then at that point you are at choice. Your choice will be to either continue to hold that attitude of yours the way you've been, or allow new perceptions and energetic vibes to come through you to heal your relationship through your new decisions and visions of the relationship you are going for.
By learning the science behind what's really going on, you will then understand why all the politically correct language you've been trying out has not been successful. You can use all of the right words . . . but that attitudinal vibration of yours may very well be what’s getting in the way.
And that's why this course is specifically guiding you to new scientific knowledge, perceptions, understanding and language, so that you can begin MasterMinding right away.
In the upcoming sessions, you will begin learning how to ask for things that it never occurred to you to ask for before, with the energy to bring in what you want. Doing your personal work in combination with a MasterMind partner is truly an amazing process, one that will grow you into your own authentic voice, into your power and into the life you most want to live.
We all desire to be kind and compassionate, but it's easy to allow the challenges of everyday life to throw us off track. To get back into alignment, ask yourself: “Am I kinder today than I was a year ago?” “Do I treat people as if they were precious or problematic?” Just for today, vow to act kindly toward everyone with whom you come in contact, and then try to make your experiment a daily habit.
- Mary Manin Morrissey
Let's Begin
YOUR FOCUS: ONE OF YOU BRINGING THE TWO OF YOU TOGETHER
In life and in love, there is only this moment, the now.
The only reality we know is what we experience this very second.
Reality is not what has passed or what has yet to come into being.
Grabbing hold of this simple idea makes life magical, because it brings love alive.
-Leo Buscaglia, in Handbook for the Heart
The first thing we are going to do is slow everything down. There is nothing to rush around about, even if you are being pressured to sign divorce papers; even if you have been left for another; even if you have children in trouble; even if your partner is moving out with all of his or her things; even if - even if - even if.
You have invested in this CyberCourse, and therefore you have decided for your marriage. By immersing yourself in the work of each session, you will be taking in the knowledge that will begin to alter and transform your attitudinal vibration. In doing your work through what I am recommending, you will begin to interrupt what's happening that is now having a devastating effect, and start charting a new pathway for healing and reconciliation.
In this course of work you WILL ultimately get your marriage headed in the direction that will be healthiest for all concerned . . . provided you do your work to make your life--not just your marriage, not just your job--the best it can be. The rest will naturally unfold.
By now, people may be telling you to just “get over” the ending of your marriage and get on with your life. That's because they have their own extremely limited beliefs about what is possible and what is not. They, like you, have been taught to judge people in a situation from a limited perception, and decide whether or not a marriage is viable.
So, when those limited perceptions, fearful thoughts and bad news come from "well meaning" friends and acquaintances, I want you to remember this: No matter how bad it looks in this moment, you have sacred entitlement to your marriage. Your marriage vows are sacred. You have "first dibs" on your spouse, period. Remember this throughout anything and everything that may or may not occur in the upcoming months.
Do not be deterred by appearances.
This course will walk you through the darkest nights of your soul and bring you out on the other side, into the light . . . if you choose to turn this around.
It's your choice, even if right now it feels like it isn't at all possible. You are never without power and you are never without choice. You can choose to save your marriage, and you can decide that this is, without a doubt, what you want.
There must be no more ambiguity, or you will not succeed. Providence moves with commitment: a decision for your marriage. We may have a few mountains to level, but hey, that's simply the work at hand.
The Physics of the Love Connection
Since performing and understanding the following “Energy Illustration” and exercise is PARAMOUNT to your understanding of exactly what you will be doing in the course of this work, you’ll need to read it all the way through . . . because the conclusion will not only surprise you, it will explain everything you intuitively knew, but wouldn't let yourself know . . . until now.
This exercise, in combination with the following THOUGHT E X P A N D E R section, will not only explain what this course is about, it is the very thing you MUST be mindful of from this moment forward in order to stop “checking out” of the marriage, i.e. withholding love and love-making--in whatever way you’re doing that, be it attitudinal condemnation, judgment, threats, filing for divorce, martyrdom, “walking on egg shells,” being the bitch from hell or the jerk from Uranus, etc.--and transform all that has gone before into what you prefer it now to be.
Know this: Until you let go of being so right about what you think is happening and become willing to look at things differently, nothing will change in your marriage.
We all have two lives: the life we've learned to have and the life that wants us.
Whatever you put your attention on grows and becomes your intended experience. Intention is powerful in getting you what you want . . . as well as what you don't want. It all depends on what you put your attention on, over and over and over again.
Preparing to Explore the Physics of the Love Connection
Whether or not you can get your spouse to do this demonstration with you is not the most important thing that can happen here.
When one of you understands the implications of this, a new energy will be conveyed vibrationally and it will have an affect on your spouse, whether he or she is present for this or not.
The upcoming THOUGHT E X P A N D E R section has specific research that will explain the science behind exactly what is happening in this exercise.
What is essential is that you understand fully how you are participating in “energy-sending” and “energy-receiving” in order to successfully affect what's been going on in your relationship up to this moment.
For now: Get with your support person, your MasterMind partner, and/or your spouse, if they are currently with you on this. The two of you will take turns using a technique called “Muscle Testing” following the examples and method I have described in this section.
I will describe now in detail a demonstration that I have done with literally thousands of people during live performances, which I do to drive home the reality that what we think literally and instantaneously affects our world.
After you have read this entire section, get a blindfold and perform the Muscle Testing exercise, exactly as I have described, with your partner, taking turns with whatever substances you want to put in the zip-lock bags. Just make sure that one of the baggies has sugar in it, so you can both see the instant transformation of what we have been told is an “unhealthy” or “negative” substance.
In this Muscle Testing exercise, you will experience the feeling of energy coming into your body as a result of thinking and/or receiving certain thoughts.
Most people have felt the effects of negative and positive energy. But, because it is invisible to the eye, and we don't exactly get a “computer read-out,” we can talk ourselves out of knowing what we know or feeling what we feel. You will now have concrete information that you probably thought you were delusional about before.
You simply cannot have an attitude and keep it a secret!
And, if someone has an attitude about you, well, you've known it all along. What this demonstration will substantiate, is that you really are not crazy! It's true, it's happening, and you don’t have to be taking it on. But to not take it on requires that you send back different vibes than what you probably have been.
Vibes of resistance, anger, avoidance, fear, less-than, better-than, arrogance, condemnation and “attitude back at you, Jerk/Bitch” - all of these are only vibes that will get you more of what you've been participating in with your spouse!
You must change the vibe to change the experience. Don't expect your spouse to do it or to "get this" ... you are now deciding to step up and be in your most adult self i.e. a living example of what humanity can be!
Know this: Your thoughts, attitudes, judgments, etc. have an immediate and scientifically provable effect on your world, in an instant!
AFFECTING YOUR WORLD IN AN INSTANT
The Body Electric and Magnetic
Discover Magazine featured an article* which included a series of brightly colored electronic photographs showing the illuminated flow of electrical activity throughout the entire system of nerves and blood vessels in the human body.
* DISCOVER Vol. 14 No. 02 | February 1993 | Biology & Medicine The Body Electric -New computer models reveal patterns that spring back from the heart. By Carl Zimmer
Think about this. If a person’s heart stops, modern medical practitioners apply an electric jolt to get it started again. The brain uses electricity to issue its commands from neuron to neuron. When these signals reach a muscle, they set up a wave of electricity throughout the muscle. Each cell of the body has a positive and negative charge, so there is constant polarity. Each cell has a magnetic component. Which means the body is not only electric, it's magnetic. In essence, we are moving electromagnetic fields of living energy.
The human mind and body creates a magnetic field, a measurable field arising from electric charges in motion. As well, every cell in the body has it's own intelligence. It knows exactly what to do in any given situation or environment. There is even evidence that, at the sub-atomic level, each quantum particle/wave has an "intelligence" of its own! At the organic level of our bodies, embryonic cells "know" how to grow into higher forms of complex and distinctive systems. What is important to note is that each of these systems is responsive, in varying ways, to the electromagnetic energy generator of our minds.
Because the body is electrical, and each cell in the body has a positive and negative charge, we are magnetically charged in accordance with what our thoughts vibrate and transmit.
Being electromagnetic sets up certain conditions for how we relate, respond and receive experiences in our physical world. And as we've learned from quantum field theory (the “cutting edge” of physics), this means that whatever we send out comes back again, showing that we get to be right about whatever we are holding in mind for as long as we choose to be right about it!
Thoughts magnetize an energy field around us. As an illustration, if you put metal filings on a piece of paper and put a magnet underneath it, the filings will form a pattern in accordance to the magnet. The filings have no will of their own. And so it is with the substance of our lives. Electrons conform to the consciousness of the experimenter. Matter must obey consciousness: it always has, it is right now, and it always will.
So there are three things we can infer from what we know about electromagnetic energy of the body, coupled with the implications of scientific experimentation in the field of quantum physics:
1) electrons are constantly reading their environment
2) thoughts are constantly directing electrons, and
3) thoughts magnetize an energy field around us.
An analogy that illustrates this best is to imagine that the energy flow from you is like a signal or wavelength being transmitted from a radio or television station. Each of us emits very precise vibrational signals based on what we believe and think.
Everyone and everything in our environment has the capacity to pick up certain aspects of these signals. However, only those who are tuned in on the same wavelength can respond to them, as only those radios and television sets that are turned on and tuned in to a particular station will pick it up.
Have you ever picked up your TV remote control and randomly started flipping through the channels when something on one of the channels made you stop and watch? You were in tune, or in alignment with what was being shown or said, and that's why you wanted to stop and watch. Or the opposite can happen, and you can be in so much resistance to the information being presented that you turn to another channel immediately.
When you get deliberate in guiding your intentions--let's say from an existing situation of infidelity, to a totally devoted, mentally and emotionally monogamous spouse--you are literally tuning into another channel. By individually doing the work to bring the two of you back together, you are in fact tuning into another channel. Then, when you take your desired vision into the MasterMind experience, you are asking your partner's support in "knowing" together with you, that another “station” does in fact exist.
Setting relationship goals and MasterMinding with a support person IS deliberately deciding to “change channels.” The power of two or more minds in agreement--deciding to tune in to more pleasurable, life-enhancing frequencies and mental images of happy, rich, fulfilling relationships, enjoying prosperity, healthy lean bodies, fulfilling and fun work, etc.--opens up infinite possibilities immediately.
When we've been existing within a frequency of fear, anxiety, attitudinal condemnation, judgment, withholding love as a means of self-protection, lack and limitation, we must simply stop ourselves and interrupt habitual thinking with:
How do I prefer it to be? or There's got to be a better way.
And there is! You ask your MasterMind partners’ support in helping you to either: 1) help you decide differently about this false evidence appearing real, or 2) look around your world with the intention of finding someone who has what you want and then tune into their channel. In doing this, you acquire a mental equivalent of another field of probabilities different from (and better than) the one you've been existing in.
You Have Within You the Power to Affect Worlds Muscle Testing
Understanding that the human body is electromagnetic, combined with some insight into quantum physics, will help you to see how energy affects communication, and how we continuously affect our world, our reality and our connections with other people.
It also helps you understand that you are not crazy, because it is likely that you've been aware for some time now that you know things before you think you should know them. Most importantly, we can understand at long last that we all have the capacity to connect with anyone anywhere in time and space, and therefore bring any desire into form.
There are many experiments that show that the mind or consciousness is not restricted to our bodies, nor is it restricted to any kind of locality.
In my live presentations, I use "Muscle Testing," which is also known as a form of Applied Kinesiology called Context Reflex Analysis (CRA), to prove that our bodies "read" energy in our environment. I demonstrate the immediate effect our attitudes have on other people whether they are secret and underlying or right out there, loud and clear.
First I explain that the body is electromagnetic, and that every cell in the body has a positive and negative charge. Because of this, the mind/body energy can be “tested,” i.e. the body can give me yes/no “answers,” through the utilization of the strength of resistance in the muscles of the person's arm, as a way of testing the body's reaction to various forms of energy. Then I ask for a volunteer to come up from the audience. I ask them for their permission, giving them a brief explanation of what I am going to have them do. I also inform them that they will be receiving both positive and negative energy.
When they have given me their permission, I explain how I use the participant’s arm to test and to get a yes and a no answer. When the volunteer has a good reaction, feeling, or sense about something they are thinking about, or when some energy is affecting them from the outside in a positive way, the muscles in the arm are strong. When the opposite happens, with bad feelings or negative external energy, the muscles are weak. I explain that I will have them hold their arm up, straight and out to the side in order for me to try to push it down. I push down on the arm to test for a "yes" or a "no." Strong is yes, weak is no. In the demonstration, I will hold various substances in a plastic zip-lock bag close against the midsection of their body.
If the electrical impulse within the intelligence of their body is in agreement or harmony with what I am placing in their energy field, their arm will remain firm, and I will not be able to push it down, no matter how much force I try to use. If the energetic intelligence in their body does not like or agree with the energy source I am bringing into their energy field, their arm will go down easily when I test it by pushing down on it. Firm and outright is "yes, this is good." Down and limp is "no, not good."
Next, I ask the person to close their eyes (or use a blindfold) and keep them closed until the end of the illustration. Now, with their eyes closed, I hold an apple in a plastic bag against the midsection of their body. This puts the apple, which has it's own particular energy, within the energy field of the person's body. This person's body reads the energy of the apple.
I test to see whether or not it would be good for their body to have the apple. The body always knows what is good for it and what is not, energetically. I picked an apple for this experiment because it is one food that is generally good for everyone. I ask the person holding the apple to let us know, by the answer of yes or no coming through their arm, if this thing that they are holding is good for the body. The body knows. We are working with the energy.
In almost every case using an apple, when I push down, the arm stays firm, no matter how hard I push down. One notable exception was when I had tested a diabetic person. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, until someone in the audience whispered the information to me. She would have been out of balance with her insulin had she eaten the apple! The experiment had not "failed," but rather had proven itself correct!
Next, I take refined sugar in a baggie, hold it right next to their mid-section and ask the body, again, if this would be good for it. The arm, in most cases, goes down. Most people believe that pure sugar isn't really good for you, right?
The next thing I do is tell the audience that I want them to send an attitude to the person I'm testing. Without the person being able to see or hear what I am doing from that moment forward, I signal the audience that I want them to think negative thoughts and project their negative attention toward the person I am testing. After a few moments of negative attitudes being sent, I push down on the person's arm.
Every single time I have done this, the person's arm is lifeless, limp. They can't even will themselves to keep it up. That's how dramatic and instantaneous a negative attitude is on the person you are having a “problem” with. Whether you mean to or not, you are sending your attitude and they are responding to it energetically.
Next, I signal the audience to send the person I'm testing some LOVE. Within a few moments, their arm becomes stronger and stronger, until I literally cannot push it down. This explains why we never have problems with the people we love or like or have great appreciation for. There's no attitudinal push or pull.
The energy of LOVE instantly transforms and heals the human body, mind and psyche. Yet, it is usually the very thing that we withhold when we are angry or upset with someone, which gets us a reaction that fuels an already existing problem into higher degrees of difficulty. Right? We literally put ourselves between a rock and a hard spot with our attitudes, which come in the forms of hurt, resentment, condemnation, judgment, rationalization, defensiveness and on and on. And, as you know, nothing changes in these difficult relationships until you have a softening of the heart. Once a softening, an understanding or forgiveness occurs in one of you, the entire relationship can realign and get back on track, or on a new track.
But we are not done yet. Remember the sugar?
Now this is going to blow you away! I bring back the sugar in the baggie and place it back in the test person's energy field. I silently signal the audience that I want them to send a loving attitude to the bag of sugar. We take a few moments and mentally send our blessings and LOVE to the sugar. I push down on the arm again. It remains up and firm. I cannot push it down.
We have transformed the “negative” energy of the sugar to “positive” energy instantly, before our very eyes.
By altering your own thinking, perceptions and attitudes, you will be changed at depth and your partner, like the sugar, will experience this change energetically.
Your attitude, prejudices and fears about your partner will be transformed because of your intention to experience a more peaceful and productive relationship with them, because both he/she and you will feel the effects immediately.
You can't have an attitude about anything in your world, and keep it a secret.
You cannot continue to condemn, judge and label someone and have a harmonious outcome with them.
You must understand that whatever you decide for is going to have an effect energetically on this situation. You can now, through study and completion of this course, begin asking that your intentions be powerfully guided through the MasterMind process, so that the fulfilling relationship you’re deciding for manifests.
Know this: you are sending deliberate, intentional energetic communication to the people you bring into any MasterMind request. Therefore, when we go for the highest intention: peace, love, joy, harmony and good will - we are essentially blessing people and situations in our lives. It will be felt, energetically. And as with the initial “negative” energy of the sugar, the negative in you and in them becomes transformed immediately.
There is nothing stopping us from blessing the people in our world at any given moment of any day. There is nothing stopping us from having a dramatic affect on our world with all those we know, meet or whose lives we touch. It's all just energy and we have dominion over our world. Which means that we can initiate and affect change any moment we choose.
The Implications for STOPPING HOW YOU WITHHOLD LOVE
Mental concentration upon love will produce a positive love current, which goes forth to break up and dissolve opposing thoughts of fear. The thought of fear about anything can and will be dissolved, not only in the mind of the thinker, but also in the minds of those with whom he or she comes in contact or thinks about.
The “love vibe” is not a projection of the will. It is simply a setting free of a natural, equalizing, harmonizing force that has been dammed up and unused. Most people think that when they love a person, they have a right to dominate and rule that person's life. When people try to rule and dominate others, calling it "love," they often cause the reverse of what they want to have happen.
Love is the drawing, attracting power of the mind. If you have used visualization previously without attaining the desires you hoped for, it may be because you did not "love" your imaged desires into expression.
Love is the magnet that draws and fills with life your vision of a loving, harmonious marriage. Loving your pictured desire is the secret of making it a visible result!
Indeed love heals, but being loved does not.
Being loved merely holds the door open for healing, for happiness,
for fulfillment, for 'getting our needs met.'
But to walk through that door, we must love.
If being loved healed, all creatures great and small would now be perfect,
for God has loved them all and always will.
-Hugh and Gayle Prather, in Handbook for the Heart
And this is how 1 of You CAN Bring the 2 of You Back Together Again
Let's face it . . . the two of you have likely been arguing, fussing and fighting verbally and most importantly, non-verbally, for some time now. And if your spouse has essentially cut off all communications with you, your only recourse is to learn now how to communicate something different on the non-verbal, energetic plane . . . that is, if you are ever to open the doors of verbal and physical connection again.
This non-verbal bickering - attitudinal judgments and criticisms - with each other is probably the largest percentage of what you've been doing and sending energetically. This is a foundational reason for the breakdown of your connection to each other.
Whether you mean to be sending negative vibes or not, does not matter - because in all likelihood you have been. And that's what the two of you have presumably continued to do, even though you think you are out of radius with each other . . . you're not! So let's be perfectly clear here: you are communicating with each other right here, right now.
So, the question is, "What are you communicating?"
And more importantly, "What are you now going to intentionally and deliberately communicate?"
OK, now . . . maybe you are still pretty pissed off, hurt, destroyed, betrayed, etc. The question is, “How long do you need and intend to feel this way about what all has occurred?”
I am reminded of the friend I mentioned in the beginning of this course, who found out her husband had been having an affair for nearly two years. Part of their reconciliation was their agreement that he needed to tell their two teenage daughters the whole truth about his participation in the destruction of their marriage. When the girls had fully gotten their minds around the magnitude of what had happened, the youngest one, 15, said, "It will take me a year to forgive him!"
I thought that was great. Out of the mouths of babes! She had decided, somehow, that it would take her a year . . . and then, that would be it! Amazingly simple.
So, what's it going to be? A week, a month, a year . . . or are you thinking you’re going to leave it "out there" until you think they've suffered enough for how they've hurt you?!
Most of us have been raised with this idea that we have to "teach people a lesson" by withdrawing love, humiliating / shaming them, scaring the dickens out of them with threats of abandonment or whatever, in order for them NOT TO DO IT AGAIN! Yeah, that really teaches people a lesson. How has it worked for you up until now?
It's in human relationships that we get to see evidence of whether we're coming from fear or living in love. When fear speaks to us, it never says, "I'm going to wreck your relationship." It says, "I'm going to keep you safe. I'm going to make sure no one hurts you in any way." We want to be safe, to be protected. But love, the voice of faith, says, "Go ahead and take a risk. Open your heart. Take a step in love." Seize your opportunities to respond with love. To believe the best is a faith move.
--Mary Manin Morrissey
Trying to force people to conform so we can delude ourselves into believing that we are safe, while we continue to hound them to keep them "controlled" so they won't do it again, will literally get us MORE OF THE SAME! It is not what works for a happy, safe and loving relationship, or it would have worked by now!
I will tell you unequivocally that, the quicker you get your focus turned upon what you prefer to be your future experience, and the quicker you can get off all of the pain and suffering that has gone before, the quicker you can have a nice, safe, loving life!
The more you elect to hang on to it, or hold it over their head, the more you are now consciously contributing to the destruction of your marriage, and producing more and more and more of the same. Yes, you are participating in the future you are creating with your spouse.
Question: What will it get you to continue to suffer and feel hurt about what's happened?
Answer: More of the same . . . and no, it doesn't keep you safe!
So with that as your answer, why then would we want to continue to do the thing that doesn't work and causes us pain?
Answer: Well, we've been taught that if we just forgive and forget then it "might" happen again, because what's to stop them from doing it again?
Well, that's exactly what this entire course is about: retraining your thinking about what you believe you must accept and expect. You must learn new ways of being in relationship . . . based on quantum physics and the science of energy, based on what to practice, and based on what you now must let go of in order to make way for the “new” that you want to be your marital experience.
That's right. You must let go of what's not working. It doesn't work to hang something over someone's head. Forgiving and forgetting, without re-framing your decision for the relationship, without changing your intentions and your expectations, in fact, guarantees that it will happen again. So what will fix this?
I'm telling you now, and I will be repeating this a bazillion times throughout this course:
You must rigorously put your focus on the future you want to create as your experience.
Anything less than this will get you what you've always gotten. All of your answers lie in what you think about, what you hold as your vision, and what you ask another to hold with you and for you in this process of getting your life and your marriage back on track.
