In this podcast entry, Veronique is a guest speaker on KVSP radio where she discusses the concept of having no life lessons.  This is a huge personal development tip because if you understand this concept, then you can get off of the gerbil wheel of life lesson after life lesson after life lesson….  Just remember what you already know, and don’t judge what is happening to you by what you THINK it is.  Get all the facts first before you decide what is happening.  Listen to the podcast for more info.

In this radio show, the perception of love is always supported.  This show talks about what you can do when you go beyond your perception of love and how you can stay conscious of it so that it doesn’t take you in the direction that you want to go.  You are constantly supporting your perception of love, so it actually takes less mental energy to alter your perception of love than it does to constantly resist ’sabotaging’ yourself.  Listen in for more powerful, powerful insights.

What does can’t really mean? Can’t is actually not found in the dictionary, but it is used in our language on a daily basis. How many times do you use the word can’t? How many times do you say can’t during the day? When do you say it? Why do you say it? When you think about it, ‘can’t’ is a very safe word that keeps us in our comfort zone. When we say ‘can’t’ we are saying “doing this will take me out of my comfort zone and I am not willing to step outside of my comfort zone at this time.” It is a subtle, yet very powerful way that shapes our lives and keeps us in the illusion that we are not responsible for the outcome of our lives. Listen to this recording of the word can’t and what it means.

I attended a teleseminar the other day, and it was basically about the intuition and how it is really the guidance system we should be paying attention to, and not our mind.  The subtle understanding of the intuition is that it is completely unconditional.  As a result, following our intuition will never lead us to experience loss, lack or illness because when we make decisions and live from an unconditional mindset, or beingness, we are not pushing away abundance by living through fear.   The simple physics of it is that no two things can occupy the same place at the same time, so we are either being unconditional in the moment or conditional in the moment.

One of the things that was mentioned on the teleseminar is that sometimes people feel that they have followed their intuition and it got them into trouble.  The presenter explained that if whatever feeling you followed, you ended up with some sort of loss or struggle, then it wasn’t your intuition, but some conditional based feeling that you were following.  The intuition doesn’t come from an emotional place, so if you are experiencing any kind of emotional jolt with whatever feeling comes up, then you can pretty much bet that it isn’t your intuition.  That is a pretty powerful subtlety that makes all of the difference in the world when it comes to knowing when it is your intuition and when it isn’t.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.  To go much deeper, it is explained much better in TCIM.

I was recently on a forum where someone was asking about karma and what is it exactly.  They gave an example of person A taking $5 from them and then they took $5 from person B, how does that work in the karmic bank so to speak.  Karma is a very interesting subject that can be quite confusion.  First Karma is not about keeping a balance sheet.  It is a pact we make with ourselves to show us when we are creating from love or creating from fear.  This is a great excerpt from the personal development course The Choice Is Mine that describes it in wonderfully.

“….What I have discovered over time is, Karma/dharma is really
you. You holding you back until you choose to look at and experience
life by being love instead of being fear-conditional. Until
you get that, you will continue to repeat, fear-based conditional
experiences as you hold yourself back repeating what you choose
to repeat until you allow love to be your guide instead of attempting
to control and manipulate your experiences through
conditional fear-based choices. ….”

This makes sense when you look at how some people can do the same thing and have very different outcomes.  It is  because karma takes into account the intent of the action.  If the intent is fear based, you will experience karma through loss, lack and illness.  If the intent was based on love, you will experience karma through grace, ease and abundance.

So what about the case of what happened to Jesus Christ?  The Choice Is Mine can explain it much better than I could.

We feel we need to go through lesson after lesson after life lesson in order to grow, or to gain insights so we can become more conscious.  Each lesson takes us closer to the insights that we feel we need to learn to get to that next step.  However, we have forgotten that we already have all of that insight, and knowledge within us already.  It isn’t a matter of going through lesson after lesson.  It is just a matter  of allowing ourselves to remember what it is that we have forgotten.  We don’t require life lessons when all we need to do is allow our intuition to come online and connect us with that inner knowledge.

The energy it takes to allow is much lower than the energy to learn, especially if it is done through going through experience after experience after experience.

One consistent and popular theme concerning the Ego is it is
looked upon as bad and something we have to constantly work to
get rid of. I myself fell into constantly berating the ego and
fighting against it. Doing this unknowingly created an on going
and increasing problem for myself. The more I fought against the
ego, the more confused I became, and less confident I felt. If
you have experienced much of the same, let me explain what
happen that changed all that for me.

Somewhere deep inside I was feeling that something was missing
in what I could do to help myself gain more clarity, confidence
and ultimately live my birth right of health, wealth and
happiness. I called out for help. When I asked I received huge
assistance in the form of being able to look at life and what
was happening in my life more unconditionally. I felt fortune
was smiling on me because I came across an understanding of the
Ego that I have never seen elsewhere. It was through a course
that provided insights and a framework for life, in a very
grounded systemic way that allowed me to make giant strides in
my life and move me forward at a pace that I had never
experienced before because I understood cause and effect,
attraction and countless other principles on a much deeper and
simpler level.

By using this material (mentioned at the end of this article),
I was able to integrate the powerful knowledge this course
provided and actually use my Ego, unconditionally and
responsibly to assist me and empower me to easily meet my
goals.

Let me share briefly upon what this material taught and awakened
within me as a level of truth I knew was missing yet didn’t
know where to find it.

We Are Actually Supposed To Have An Ego

We are supposed to have an ego. I just didn’t know how to allow
my Ego to serve me instead of distract me. Our Ego is a part of
us just as our heart and soul are a part of us. Yet this is the
only part of us that is described as “something we need to get
rid of.” It is like someone telling us that we need to get rid
of our left arm, or our lungs. Those are the physical parts of
us that we use to function as a body in this dimension, just as
our Ego as a part of our being, allows us to function in this
dimension. We require our Ego to experience life through our
own personality, viewpoint and our own way of being. The Ego
expresses our preference for lemonade over orange juice, or our
preference for vacations in Hawaii over vacations in London.
Our Ego is what makes life interesting for us, our Ego is what
allows us to express our unique gift throughout the world. It is
the one thing that makes us unique unto ourselves.

Is there any wonder why we have all struggled for years and
years attempting to ‘get rid’ of our Ego? Why would we want to
eliminate the very thing that gives us our own unique flavor?

What ‘Getting Rid of the Ego’ is Confused With

Getting rid of our Ego is usually confused with bringing our Ego
back into balance to be expressed as the Pure Ego. Our Pure Ego
is the ego that lives as our childlike innocence and wonder of
unconditionally discovering the world that we live in. Take for
example, what happened when we learned how to walk. We were in
our Pure Ego when we learned how to walk. When we realized that
walking was a better way to discover the world around us, we
began our own mission - to learn how to walk. So we crawled and
stumbled and took tentative steps and fell, and got back up
again, and fell again, and did it over and over until we had it
down. Each time we developed a deeper understanding of how we
needed to shift our weight, or where we needed to put our foot,
all through trial and error, but each time we saw the
improvement and each time we added something new to our movement
that improved our balance and stability. We didn’t focus on what
we did that didn’t work, we focused on what we did do that
WORKED. We could not have learned how to walk if we were in our
Altered Ego.

Our Altered Ego is the ego that comes from fear and judgment as
opposed to love. It is when our Ego has become out of balance
with Self and sees life conditionally. What would learning how
to walk be like if we were in our Altered Ego? Most of us would
probably still be sitting and crawling. We would first have gone
through a lot of processing about taking action to learn how to
walk or not….Would it be safe? What would my family think?
What if I fall down? Then we would finally take our first
tentative steps, wobble and then fall down. After thoroughly
chastising ourselves for falling and believing we are not good
enough to walk, or not being sure if we should even attempt it.
But we don’t want to give up too soon because we really do want
to learn how to walk. So we would read several self-help
manuals telling us that we are good enough to walk and we can
do it, and we’re the little engine that could. Those of us that
gathered our courage again, would make another attempt, and fall
again would go through another round of “what is wrong with us
and why can’t we get this walking thing right?” Our
self-criticism would be extremely high, and our belief in
ourselves would plummet. We would begin to fall into the
illusion that we just can’t walk and will never be able to, and
perhaps we just weren’t meant to walk and who do we think we are
even thinking that we have the right to walk in the first place?

We are so focused on judging ourselves that we don’t even
realize all of the things that we did that allowed us to stand
for 5 or 10 seconds. Instead, we focused on all of the things
that caused us to fall down.

If we have enough desire, and our will hasn’t been thoroughly
crushed by now, we may go through another round of self-help
books and therapy to build up our confidence level. For those
of us who stay focused on the end goal, we finally manage to
walk. For those of us who keep ourselves mired in the mindset
of what we did wrong and continue to judge ourselves as not
deserving to be able to walk, we never get up off of the floor,
and we keep ourselves in the illusion that walking isn’t what we
were meant to do.

Why Understanding The Pure Ego and Altered Ego Is Important For
Our Personal Development

The difference between learning how to walk on our Altered Ego
vs our Pure Ego is that when we were learning to walk while
being in our Pure Ego, we focused on what we wanted (the ability
to walk), and stayed in the joy of the process (what we did
right, focusing on the progress we were making and having fun
while learning). We still used our Pure Ego, because that is
the part of us that gave us the drive and the yearning to learn
how to walk. That is the part of us that gave us the passion to
persist until we were done, and that is the part of us that
allowed us to experience joy while we were going through our
experience. Consider this… How many toddlers have you seen
screaming in terror, anger, fright, etc. while learning how to
walk? Not many right? Most of the time they have HUGE grins on
their faces that say “Look what I’m doing!” These little tykes
can hardly contain themselves!

When we were learning how to walk while being in our Altered
Ego, we weren’t having much fun. We were making it difficult
for ourselves by over-analyzing everything we were doing and
judging the crap out of ourselves for not getting something
“perfect” in the first attempt. For those of us that managed to
get up off of the ground, we certainly extended the process, and
we certainly were not enjoying the experience. We lost focus of
what we wanted, which was learning how to walk, because we were
so focused on what we were doing wrong and making ourselves
“lesser” because we fell down a couple of times. We can choose
to be in the frame of mind of saying “well that way certainly
didn’t work, but there are all these other ways to experience.”
Or we can be in the frame of mind that says “Boy do I suck! I
can’t do this! I can’t do ANYTHING!” Being in our Altered Ego
completely got in our way of achieving what we wanted….
learning how to walk.

We do require an Ego to be in the joy of living in this world,
however it is OUR choice as to HOW we want to live in this
world. We can use the Ego to support what we want in our lives,
or to hinder what we want in our lives. We can learn how to
incorporate the Ego into our lives through material such as The
Choice Is Mine which teaches us how to be unconditional with
ourselves so we can experience abundance and ease in our lives
more quickly. This lifetime companion allows us to move at our
own pace while we are living our day to day lives.

In this radio podcast, we discuss the answer to the question:

I have read all of the books, listened to all the gurus and done all of the affirmations and incantations in the world and I have only experienced small changes in my life, not the quantum leap I was  looking for.  I don’t feel like I am blocking myself, but I must be blocking myself because there is really no other reason… The question is, How do I go about finding out why I can’t attract my desired life?

This is a very eye opening answer and one that will get you thinking differently.

If we to choose to separate and divide ourselves and our consciousness with such words as ‘high self esteem’ and ‘low self esteem’ and we continue to choose to layer ourselves with these types of words in an effort to identify ourselves to seek, to find or discover worth outside of ourselves, then this is only going to continue the separation of self with confusion.  And in confusion it’s hard to remember that your worth comes from unconditionally and responsibly being yourself.  Listen to the podcast for more on how using the very terms themselves self esteem vs the esteemed self, can have an impact on how we live our lives.

Wow!  That was a powerful teleseminar we had on Tuesday the 9th, and those of you who weren’t able to make it, we did record it.

To briefly recap, we discussed the answers to some of the questions that were presented and we also discussed the meaning of the esteemed self and self esteem.

Some of the really key points that get you to pause in your thinking are the relationship between truth and resistance.  If we are experiencing an event in our lives where we are reacting or making excuses, and not standing in the unconditional responsibility of the experience, we are denying ourselves the opportunity to receive some insight which will helps us discover the truth.  The truth is what is motivating us to do the things we do.  As long as we are not conscious of our motivations, we cannot do things differently if we are not happy with our current situation.

We also discussed the answer to a question someone had about money and if they had money could they not be spiritual.  It’s not having the money that  makes you not spiritual, it’s the idolization of money that gets in your way.  You may need a large amount of money in your life to be able to serve those around you in the best way that you know how.  You are always supported in your highest priority.

We also discussed the term ’self esteem’ and how that sets up a conflict in our subconscious mind because of the duality of definitions these two words create together in this way.  As we use these words in our communication with ourselves and others, it affects how we create our reality.  We did a cool excercise where we could see how both of the terms ’self estem’ and ‘esteemed self’ was experienced in our body.

The underlying concept of the topic in the teleseminar is that  we can choose our experiences based upon what we choose, which is either fear or love.

I’m not doing the entire teleseminar justice, I would need to listen to it again to be able to provide even more  insight to what was said on the teleseminar.  If we make the recording available, I will let everyone know if you are on the mailing list.
