Since I'm new to this board, but not new to the SOGR thinking, I thought I would introduce an insight that has given me a BFO (blinding flash of the Obvious). When I "see" my CMI there has been a certain longing, or feeling of "wanting" what I have envisioned. I entertained this feeling as it took me back to when I was young and was connected to how a child feels or behaves when they ask or petition somethiong from a parent.

The suble shift for me was realizing that when I am "wanting" something, I acknowledge in my inner that it is not here, which prevents it from being here, but boy it sure feels good wishing that it was here.

For me, this was an issue of maturity and understanding I am no longer asking or petitioning something from an authority, I am that authority, and I only have to behave as if what I have "seen" is already here. I'm sure this subtle shift of thinking is known to most, but for me it was profound, because that very simple paradigm was keeping me in my mindset of lack and feeling that my desire had to be approved by a "desire grantor", which all along was me, I just didn't acknowledge that.

Since words are a poor way of describing a CMI, it seems easier to try and focus on the words rather than the feelings a picture evokes...but what a change in the outer when the inner feels the image of the creator.

Thanks so much!

Hmmmm...I might be doing the same thing!

Hi richtoops,
This is SOO TRUE!

The turning point came for me when I simply stopped caring about the money, where it was , all that stuff. I started caring instead about feeling peaceful, feeling good, and imparting that feeling to others.

The shift that happened for me is this: I LET GO of ALL EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT. So I think of what I want to do with the money, have fun with it by running all these wild scenarios in my mind, and when I come back from my fun filled fantasy to my present 3-D reality, I don't care if the fantasy ever comes to pass. The fun was in the fantasy itself.

Excellent!!! I have also been doing this at times, particularly when it is about something personal rather than for the greater good of the family. Thanks for posting this. Edited to add- I have just realised that I wanted this, or at least the small child part of me that was my own authority from a very early age- both needed to feel that connection with a parent/authority but also has been frightened of it. So it's not been so much partitioning but a need for connection and sharing. Interesting!

The other thing I have also been doing, I realised a couple of days ago, is focussing on my cmi's but believing that they are the how rather than the what, and therefore causing myself conflicting feelings. It has in the past all been a bit tangled but is unravelling thankfully.
