We attended a beautiful BBQ yesterday at a new friend's (Fernando's) house. He lives on a 1/2 Hectar of land in the mountains, about 30 minutes outside of Santiago. Upon arriving we where pleased to discover his "mini-zoo" on the property. This zoo consisted of: multiple varieties of exotic birds - ostriches, pee-cocks, five species of ducks, deer, rams, fish.... you get the picture. His has a passion for his animals and spends considerable time loving them. You could see this from the animal's comfort level with him and his expressions while engaged.
Personally, I found myself throughout the day -- walking alone and sharing my light with the animals and sitting in my inner peace among the beautiful surroundings. The weather was perfect - the views were mesmerizing - the company was extremely hospitable (common in Chile) - very Positive Vibs.
We were very happy to find that he also has four children. Andrea 24 her sister 19, Fernando jr. 16 and John-Paul 11. They all spoke English and immediately extended themselves to our babies--> the younger ones played non-stop from soccer to the pool to indoor games. So much so, that as I am writing this - Nastassja just commented on how sore she is from yesterday's events! LOL. We were at his house all day. A very large BBQ that went late into the evening hours.
---------------------
The eldest daughter Andrea is attending Physical Therapy school here in Chile. She is preparing to complete her program within the year. Obviously we had things in common. We briefly spoke upon arrival about our career paths and shared stories / experiences from our own perspectives.
My initial impressions were very positive. She was tall, beautiful, intelligent, well spoken, confident, attentive to her mother and father and little bros/sis, she was bright eyed and apparently very happy and well rounded. She lived in a beautiful home with nothing to spare materially.
Towards the end of the afternoon I approached her to offer my connections in MIA for future school clinical opportunities or employment - fishing for her interests after graduation. She was very interested in the possibilities.
The conversation led into philosophies of treatment - confidence of a new grad - areas of interest (patient population / clinical settings) - when she unexpectedly commented on why she had chosen this particular career path......
She stated she was, in general, very shy and unhappy. Her thoughts have always molested her in some way or form her entire life and she figured that a career in physical therapy and then possibly a double major of psychology would help her learn how to heal herself.....
My mind was still - reactionless. I looked into her eyes and noticed her intensity and longing for relief - as well as her desperation reaching out to a stranger. A stranger due to her illusion of separations. Although she was sitting on the edge of her seat and locking gaze with mine. The table we were at - was full of conversations with approx. 12 other people. And at that very moment the entire world seemed to stop. All the noises of people talking and socializing drifted away and we were left.... We sat quietly for a moment - her wondering how I was going to react and what I might perceive of her and comment back- and I seeing the magnificence of an "Awakening" opportunity.
Humbly - I began to explain that her source of pain, fear, and suffering were products of her erroneous thought patterns. That her mind - the only creative source we possess - was miscreating. The truth is - that everything your mind creates --- you belief! Love or Fear. Happiness or Sadness. Completeness or Incompleteness. She went on to describe herself-- shy, weak, sad, not good enough, always feeling less than, tortured by her own thoughts of inadequacy.
Amazing- to be sitting across from her - anyone would see the complete opposite. Although this was not her experience. Like all of us - we "experience" our thoughts.We are NOT our thoughts - they work for us. We are addicted to thinking- although we are not aware that we are doing it constantly. Unattended - unaware.
The only missing element is consciousness to our mind's creative potential. Our minds become programmed throughout development - every so silently - bit by bit - perception by perception. Without someone "paying attention" to the process-- the potential for illusions of fear and non-perfection creep in and poison your thoughts and eventually your experiences.
My instincts were that there must be a "reason" for this moment between us. Our lives had lead us to this very moment. I am "right-minded" and humbly a messenger for healing. Mind correction. The cure was "total thought reversal". I could explain the concept and the process- but it was made clear that her willingness to the process was of her own. Total commitment to her healing herself. She would need to wake-up to her thoughts, and be impeccable.
We would need to use her "feelings" of pain and negativity to wake up to the NOW of her thinking and apply a complete reversal of her patterns of thought. One by one making new agreements with her untrained mind to only have thoughts that support her - loving.
Every time she feels negative in any way- it would be a blessing from this moment on -- a catalyst that would trigger "thought reversal". She then stated "that sounds very difficult to be aware of all of my thoughts". Any thing worth having is worth working for - inner peace is the ultimate of human goals. Regardless if you consciously recognize this or not. The words that she was choosing, as this comment above, were sirens in my head - she needed to learn to be impeccable with her words of magic. She needed to hear herself inside and out. Total commitment to positive loving thoughts and words.
We have all learned to speak in negatives. It's almost sad that we are "not allowed" to speak positively of ourselves for fear that society will think we are "better than" someone else. Conceded. We must realize that for someone else to have all - it does NOT mean that you are incapable of having it all as well. We were all created equally - divine perfection from birth.
The truth is - we are that magnificent. We are perfect. Creatures of perfection - made in the like image of The Most High. Like image, not in appears. Really - very shallow to think that The Most High "looks" like a human. Rather- the like image, because The Most High's universal power is that of CREATION. We have been endowed with the same creative powers -- OUR MIND.
She had been miscreating - errors of thought - about her very self. I saw only her perfection - her inner light. Mine extending to hers. The entire universe witnessed the awakening process. I was not talking to her shell / body / combination of persona - created by the ego. Her ego doing it's best to defend her from herself - her own mind's miscreations. I only saw perfection - her inner light that we all share. I saw her and she saw mine.
We talked for hours. Slowly she began to see the light. Her facial expressions softened. Her eyes brightened. She was awakening to herself - perfection.
I explained that all of these years of "suffering" were there to stimulate the awakening. We all have the ability to handle pain - everyone at different levels. But this is true as well - we all have our own individual limits. That breaking point where we: "look for a better way". This is a true blessing. The pressure of suffering - creates a diamond. Total thought reversal - now she understood that every "negative" thought would be used to awaken to her perfection. To her completeness and joy of life. She was smiling. She was excited. She was consciously alive. Her mind - healed. Corrected.
Your mind is the only creative force you possess. Perfectly creating - as evidence in your complete "belief" in that which you create. This is obvious while observing people fight to the death to defend their "point of views / positions" thought creations - belief systems.....Thoughts lead to beliefs that lead to actions. Create only Love. Know that thoughts arise from only two places. Love or Fear. What will it be? Your experience of life will determine your choices. Your actions - witness for all to see. Wake up to your life. Wake up to your divine creative potential - you MIND.
I experienced the lifting of her "pain body" last night. I am truly humbled by that. Life is amazing. I am so grateful for being part of healing the world. As small or large I can play a part in that process - I am blessed.
