Hello all,

What a beautiful way of being in the world is taught here!

I've had the e-book for several years and have shared the practice of gratitude with so many people....that alone is priceless. Consciously expressing gratitude morning and night, even during times of deep despair, has strengthened and blessed me.

In June of 2005 I had no home and no job and was down to my last $1000. I studied and applied, to the best of my understanding, the principles of SOGR. By October I owned two homes (my own plus a rental house) and had money enough to meet my needs.

I have gone through many experiences since then, ups and downs and arounds (sometimes I wonder why I have to keep learning the same lessons over again!); I try not to forget that no matter what external circumstances look like, ALL IS WELL in my life.

I'm excited about participating in the Practical Genius course; I'm ready to really move ahead in my understanding and practice.

Thank you to Rebecca for bringing this to us, and thank you to all who contribute so generously.

Happy New Year!

Susan

Welcome,
Your study and practice has already seen rewards. I think you will love doing the course and being part of the forum. It really helps keep the focus, fun, feeling and teaching on track.


Good to have you here. Jazz

Hey Susan

Congratulations. You are really doing very very well!!!!

As to learning over and over again...it is just like school. If we don't get the message, the kind schoolteacher makes us go over the lesson in different ways until we get it. It is not a punishment (though we may think so at the time)

I learned to stop reacting and go to my heart of hearts to ask what is it that I am not learning here? What pattern of thought, acting or whatever do I need to let go of or change?

When I learned to do this, the answers would come and I would then follow through. Gradually I learned to reprogram myself.

Now those things which before seemed insurmountable are no longer of any consequence.

Rebecca shows that in her BOMB picture.

The message I got was to step back and see things from a higher place. To see things as they are not how our emotions make them.

Wally calls it seeing the TRUTH.

It worked for my sister. She learned to step back and not get pulled into old patterns with her husband and son and to be at peace while she observed the problem from a place of higher viewpoint.

Now her son has turned around (by himself) her husband is beginning to notice her new peace of mind and is beginning to change his own patterns (he wants some peace of mind as well)

A relationship which was terrible is actually becomming better and better.

A pretty powerful way of allwing yourself and others to grow.

Thank you Rebecca for taking the time to share your realizations with us.

Welcome Susan!

That is a wonderful way to explain this forum, love it! I'm not too far from you, over here in Boise! I love visiting the coast on Cannon Beach, etc. I'm excited to hear more from you...
