Life is 
Life is
Life is
Life is To reset form.

 


         The exercise below was taken from material presented by
 Lawrence LeShan PHD on his tape set "Mobilizing The Life Force, also
in his book "Cancer as a Turning Point", publisher Plume.
Imagine a fairy godmother has come to give you two things  the first being that
in 6 months your outer life ( friends, job, income, location etc. ) could be anything
 that you wanted.  There are no limitations as to what this is.  In question 3 it has
to be things "in you" and not any outside people or things.

 

What would you change in your outer life?
What steps in the last year have you taken to accomplish this?
What in you prevents you from making these changes?
.
The second thing is that in six months your inner life (feelings toward self and
others) could be anything that you wanted.
 

What would you change in  your inner life?
What steps in the last year have you taken to accomplish this?
What in you prevents you from making these changes?

Avatar® is a course that gives you ways of managing the beliefs in your own
consciousness.  More importantly...it's a way of uncovering and removing
         beliefs that keep you fogged in and grounded.  Beliefs that are so transparent to   you...you don't see them...you see through them.  And think, that's just the way
the world is.  These are the beliefs that keep you from achieving your goals,
and realizing your dreams.

Let's take a look at some of the beliefs we have about ourselves.  Some
of the beliefs that are shaping our experience of life.

"About You"-Answer these questions spontaneously.  Use the first thing that comes to mind.  Without editing.  These answers are just for you...so be honest. 


I am 
My body is 
My family is
My mind is 
My job is
Money is 
My government is
My greatest asset is
My greatest limitation is
The future is
Basically, the world is To reset form.
See anything you might want to change on that list?  We'll come back to this a little later.
You just made a list of a collection of beliefs that define you in a certain way.  It's not
the definitive list...it's a viewpoint.

The dictionary defines viewpoint as:  A mental position from which something is viewed.
We suggest...viewpoint is more than that.  It's also a way one defines one's self.  This
definition filters what is viewed.  When you change your viewpoint...you change your
experience.  Harry Palmer, the founder of Avatar, writes in the ReSurfacing® Workbook

"The easiest way to change something is to change your viewpoint.
this does not always result in a change in the world, but it will
place you in the optimum position should you wish to make a
change in the world"

So let's work on shifting viewpoints.  In the ReSurfacing® Workbook there's a exercise
called THIS AND THAT.  The objective is to demonstrate the effect of changing viewpoints.  The expected results are insights and an increase in responsibility.

INSTRUCTIONS 1

Pick out something and think of it as "This_________________________________"
Pick out something and think of it as "That_________________________________"
Repeat with large and small objects, close and far objects, until you are confident of your
ability to make anything this or that.

INSTRUCTIONS 2

Create each of the following first as "this (item)" and then as "that (same item)"

(on your answers)                                          (on the concept)
your name                                                       body
a pain                                                               mind
an injury                                                          self
a handicap                                                       reality
a country                                                          truth
                                                                          now
                                                                          here
                                                                          time
                                                                          world
                                                                          universe

Make a selection of a viewpoint and then feel what it feel like to hold that viewpoint.  What would your attention be on?  What kinds of experiences would you attract if you were  operating from that viewpoint.  Click the back button to return to this page.
 


 

One interesting viewpoint to explore is an expanded viewpoint.

EXPANSION EXERCISE- ( taken from ReSurfacing®) The process of ceasing to identify oneself
with a location or definition and gradually assuming the beingness of a larger whole is called integration.  Consider when you feel the flesh of your hand.  Do you feel each cell that makes up your hand, or do you feel an integrated sensation of the entire hand?  What if you were able to relocate the boundaries of the location or definition you consider you?  Do you end at the skin?  Or do you extend beyond?  What do you believe.

Objective:  To convey an experience of expansion and integration
Expected results:  Insights, reconciliation.

Instructions
The following is best done as a guided meditation.  Just click on the button below
and sit back and relax.  I have included the meditation below just in case you don't
have sound capabilities.  For Netscape users when Save As box comes up after you click
see if expansion file is present if it is just click on and open.  If not save file
and then click button again click on expansion file and open.  Enjoy!

Were there any differences between your two lists?  Was there one that you would prefer to
live from?  The Avatar Course gives you the tools to live deliberately.  You start to become
keenly aware of your beliefs and how they are affecting what you experience in life.  The
course allows you to discreate those beliefs that are attracting experiences you no longer
prefer and put in place more fun and exciting ones.  Thanks for spending a little time  exploring. 

 I hope it was enjoyable and enlightening.  Feel free to contact us with questions.
Come back again as I will be updating the page with more exercises, etc.

Blessings,  Richard and Patti
