Thank You and Well Done


All,


I know I've been a little quiet recently. I've been going full out and much has happened here in my life. I've been having another 'chat' with my boss...


I know I thrive on being told thank you by somebody for something I've done. Whether they asked me to or not. Yet I thought to myself saying thank you is said so flippantly these days. blah...blah...blah...thank you . It is said because you have to or it is expected. Not because you really meant it. It got me thinking


When was the last time you said thank you to somebody or yourself. Full on, with so much emotion you could power an entire city?

PhotoReading - Day 27- Wilhelm Reich - by Charles Rycroft


Day : Day 27


Time : 1400


Location : Home


Trigger Words : 19


Title : Wilhelm Reich - Charles Rycroft


Purpose : I was introduced to Wilhelm Reich on my course. From the little introduction that I had he absolutely fasinated me. Then again, most things about the mind, body, sex and relationships normally do. This was one of the optional books to read. Since I was able to find it for a few pennies I thought why not. My home library is beginning to look like one of those old time professor's that you often see on the television. Shelves of books, all manor and type, taddered and new.


Prepare and Preview: After yesterday's 'slightly poor effort'. I thought I would go back to basics and really prepare and preview. Even got my large A3 sheets of paper out.


I PhotoRead the book and activated all in about 40 minutes. My purpose was perhaps slightly poor as all I really wanted to know what more about Reich and his theories. I didn't have a specific question that I wanted to have answered. I just wanted to know more. Don't you sometimes just get a book, for the sake of reading it. Yet again, is that in itself not a purpose? Do unconscious mind, what is my purpose for this book? Why did it come to me? After all, everything happens for a positive reason.


In the end I really liked this book. Reich was the first, or perhaps the god-father of sexual theory and therapy. There was clear links between him and Freud and yet at the same time, he was already thinking in terms of a mind body connection. Today this is nothing new, yet back then, this was revolutionary. He seems to have been a strong willed man, with a penchant for upsetting people. Although Jewish, didn't much go for the church. Didn't even want them as clients. For him happiness of an individual stems around the organism. Perhaps that explains why I often think men complain about sex and normally the lack of it...Not enough. organisms or happiness. Then again like most things in society, if you tell people things enough times, people take them on as fact to the point where they become beliefs. Why does nobody get a cold in summer? The cough and flu mixtures are still on the shelves.

The Secret - Aha - Do It, Done It, Stopped


All,


Wow, what a weekend. I didn't PhotoRead.I've had much going on in my head and I've been attending my course.


This weekend we learnt about TIR . A deceptively simple set of techniques for reducing and resolving trauma. Whilst the set of techniques didn't do much for me on the day. I did discover things about myself. To cut along story short. I felt guilty about certain events that had happened to me when I was very young. I was able to release the guilt about the event and the larger issue.


That night I watched The Secret



For me this was an aha moment. I've had many negative thoughts going through my mind the last few days. Yet I thought they were positive. I was asking for what I wanted. Yet, I was actually asking for what I didn't want. The irony for me has been. My last two large manifestations (travelling around the world for a year and got a car that I've wanted for the last 5 years).I've done the Secret Process without knowing it.


Recently I've been thinking about where to live, yet wondering why I'm not living there already. Firstly thinking about the Secret Process as I understand it. I've not been focusing on the idea completely. I found that hanging a picture or as one of the expert says a vision board has really helped me in the past.


For my travels, I hung a map on the wall and discussed my travels, where I was going, what I was doing. I was able to see it every day. I imagined myself on beaches, swimming with whale sharks etc.


For my car, I had the brochure, had the car as my desktop wallpaper.


Each and every day I've seen my goals. With both I've spent time imaging what it would be like to have them.


On each goal. I 'made up' my mind it was going to happen. Still not sure what the 'turn in the key' or my mind was that made the thoughts solidify. I think it maybe the constant visioning, discussing, planning and doing something to that goal. Although I don't always know what I consciously did as an action.


The creative process has worked it for me, why have I stopped or only use it for certain goals not everything that I want?


Thankfully, I've a really good friend on the course and we talked about it all over lunch. I've got him to get in contact with me by Friday.


Since I need to create a vision board or something visual that I can see EVERY DAY. This I think for me has been a really important step to achieve my other goals. They say only 2-4% of people write goals. I think I write enough for that 2%. Why do some work out and some don't? I'm watching the next 30 days/months as I fully apply the secret process. What is truly possible for us all?


For the last few days, I've been on a totally energetic level. Yes, I've had negative thoughts. I managed to catch myself. Then change the thought to something more positive. I've done this by thinking about what I really want. The people I'll be with. Sometimes, I've played music, that is just hi tempo and makes me smile. The willingness to sing or dance around ie change your physical state has an amazing affect on your thoughts.

PhotoReading - Day 8 - Mars and Venus Together Forever by John Gray

Day : Day 8

Time : 1945

Location : Home

Trigger Words : 16

Title : Mars and Venus Together Forever – John Gray

Purpose : This was for me all about the ultimate application. Once I figured that out, finding information within the book was a doddle. I asked myself several times what is my ultimate application of the book. In addition to what can I apply right now in my life.


Prepare and Preview: Quick, simple and easy. Many of the key points and ideas are already bold typefaced, thus clear and easy. Much of the other text I found to be fluff.

Thoughts on Process : I thought I might have trouble activation the book, since I did have issues photoreading, flipping the pages. They seemed stiffer than even a new book. I did actually say to myself several times, oh this will be difficult to activate. Last night I photoread again the book from yesterday and the above book, with the purpose of dream activation

Time Spent activating and how : About 40 minutes in total. I don’t know if the books where activated via my dreams. Nothing leapt out at me during my dreams as saying, yes, yes, yes. This is due to the book. I think I’m normally pretty good at interpretating my own dreams. I think we all are. If you just stop and think for moment. Every now and then I find dreammoods useful as a guide to the more obscure symbols. I went down the table of contents and choose only those chapters that I thought might help me in my purpose. I mind mapped even less of the book, than I superread.

What is the one thing from the book that I can use right now in my life? : Like most men, I guess I need to listen more to the woman in my life. Although I did feel as though much was a mans’ fault, yet I thought a relationship was a two way thing? Then again my purpose wasn’t what can my woman do my relationships so I get more out of them.

The Future : Relationships are always on going and organic. Anything that will improve relationships has to be a good thing.
