THE LAW OF ATTRACTION?

http://abcnews.go.com/US/inside-james-rays-inspirational-controversial-world/story?id=8939491

I found myself watching the ABC news report of James Arthur Ray and the death and injury of 20 people in a sweat lodge in Sedona, AZ last night. Sixty people paid $9,650 to go to a five day training where they shaved their heads, dressed like hobos and went into the city to beg, and were part of a sweat lodge where they were urged not to leave no matter how they felt or what their bodies were telling them. I was reminded of doing the six day with what is now Landmark in the 70's. So I am not against challenging yourself to go past your physical limitations nor am I unfamiliar with the process although there was never this extreme. I remembered a young woman had a heart attack in one of the courses. The trainers never left her side in the hospital until she came out of her coma and they worked with her and the doctors as she got well. I met her years later. She was so transformed by the care she received. What has people still go to James Arthur Ray's work, when James left as bodies were being dragged out of the tent and people were being rushed to the hospital. What is the attraction?

I have a new appreciation of this work of Landmark I did for twenty-five years because they closed the 6 day and began to trust more thoroughly the power of the human mind and no longer thought that people needed to get to the power of their own being, their own mind through these somewhat demoralizing means. There is a difference between facing the truth to get past our limitations and destroying ourselves to get past them!

I woke up this morning in shock still from what I had seen. What is the Law of Attraction that had people come to this kind of training? What had them turn away from their own discernment, their bodies' natural defenses, and their inability it would seem to trust their own innate knowing? What had they turn themselves over so thoroughly to another human being? Is it true that the more something costs the more value we think it has? Is the search for wealth, relationship, purpose so strong within us that we would pay anything and even kill ourselves to achieve it? When people pay almost $10,000 for five days, why do they turn over their will and seemingly not be able to discern if they are getting what they need, if they are at risk, and if they are being cared for?

All that is on the surface. When I watched The Secret I was also horrified. My first thought was. "Where is God in this?" When did we start thinking our expression of ourselves was connected to wealth, relationship, money, job, career? How long has it been since we as human beings have remembered we are part of this amazing universe and that we are part of its expression-each one of us unique and essential whether we are wealthy or not, in relationship or not, or well or not? When I showed The Secret to a class of Irish, they said, "How American!" They were disgusted and disturbed by it.

Yet this is the bubbles on the surface world that is the Soul crying out, "Why am I here?", "What is mine to do?", "Who and what am I really, "What is real?" What was missing in The Secret, truly created by lovely committed people, was our direct link to creation and the awareness and knowledge of that connection and what is ours to do, be and have as that connection. So the question before us is, "What are we attracted to & why?"

Are we attracted firsti to peace of mind before we are driven to our attraction to wealth? Are we attracted to the joy of our own uniqueness and its one of a kind expression before we are attracted to the need for another? Are we attracted to the gift of being alive to live for the sake of life before we are attracted to the need for money? Are we attracted to being fully expressed in our every moment before we are attracted to need to identify ourselves through career?

What comes up for you when you read these questions? How far away have we gotten from our love of life, our love of ourselves, our love of being with one another, our love of our everyday? What happened that lets someone control us with the promise of wealth, relationship, career and purpose? Control us enough that we die.

We are on the edge of a new reality. I really mean that. We are on the edge of not having to suffer and sacrifice...not having to challenge our limitations thorough extreme means. This is part of the old paradigm of duality. The Warrior, The Fighter, The Challenger. The Extreme shows on TV! What is the attraction?

Interestingly enough! As the special on the death of the people in James Arthur Ray's training ended, I switched channels still reeling from how practitioners are exploiting the hearts and needs of the people. I switched to the Charlie Rose show where he was interviewing a Nobel Prize winner Earl Kandel in a series on the brain. http://www.charlierose.com/view/clip/9439

I wanted to weep. Actually let me rephrase that. I did weep. Earl spoke about we have been through a Newtonian era, a Darwinian era, a Freudian era, and now are moving into the era of the brain. As we enter and embrace this era, we will become aware of the primary place the brain carries in our knowing who we are and we will learn to tap this incredible intelligence that we live in every second of our life. Did you know that the brain changes every minute? It is always learning with everything you put in it? It is a information and experience gathering machine through which we perceive our existence and tap into our ability to create. He spoke about the discovery that the brain is everything. Our brains are our link to our minds, our creativity, our discernment, our choices, our bodies, etc. When we mature our brain, we mature ourselves.

I was shaken by what I heard. When I uncovered the templates we teach in Metapoints, it was not just a curiosity. I was frightened by comments I received after people did a consult with me. They would say things like, "You are really good. I am blown away." Or they would say, "That was phenomenal." It was what they didn't say that frightened me. They didn't say about themselves. "I am amazing!" "Look what I am capable of!" "I am me!" And at the same time, they had drunk of themselves and their capabilities and they did grow tremendously in the presence of themselves in an hour long consult. What struck me though was the incredible power I had over them in that moment. They would have followed me anywhere. There is never a day I don't keep in front of me - the awesome responsibility of turning people onto themselves. It creates an attraction that as a responsible practitioner, we MUST return that attraction back to the people so they are more and more attracted to themselves through their own innate intelligence and awareness.

So I began the journey of finding a way for people to do their own work with their own being and their own minds. The people must now discover how beautiful they are as a brilliant creation -their body, their mind, their soul. They much have their own self-trust. They much recognize and respond to their own instincts that have them leave when they know to leave and stay when they know to stay. They must embrace their own capacity to be present to their own creative ability where they do not place the creation of their life outside themselves. They must know they are safe and secure because they have the one thing they need more than anything else and need to be attracted to more than anything else-themselves. The ability to truly operate with a restored brain, a restored thinking that links us directly to the intelligence we were created from is and will be the greatest joy we can ever know. We live in our brains, we think with our minds 24/7. The brain/mind is our greatest resource. It translates instinct into, "Leave now!" The brain/mind presences creative thought that supports us winding our way out of one source of survival to another with no loss of self-expression. The brain/mind is where we hear the divine and the primal, the grace and the beauty of life. That temple in our heads is our access to everything. This is the new knowing.

I would pray that I get to contribute this to people. I would pray that this emerging era of unity with ourselves and all creation happens in my lifetime. More people want to write, to self-express, to love, to be happy, to create than ever before. We just can't use the ways of suffering to do that anymore. Anyway, why should we? We have the mind of creation that works through waves of energy that connect us with everything from what we want for breakfast to union with God. It really is true. I will be grateful when that truth can be heard.

Whoever reads this, please be discerning. Trust yourself first. Trust your teachers second. Make sure they care for not only your process but for your body and your soul. I am so grateful to be born during this time. I am also challenged. I know that if we could get the new knowledge of restoring our systems/our minds out into the world, 20 people would not have been injured and 3 people would not have died.,

Namaste

Have you ever heard the story of the person looking for the keys in the light of the lamp only to find the keys were near the lamp in the dark. How we think about money, relationship, health, work, God, love, and on and on is shifting out of anything we have known before into as Hal in Space Odysessy 2001 would say, "Something Wonderful."
Can you imagine yourself in a conversation laughing as you say, "It doesn't matter if I have money, a job, or even feel good! I have ME!!!! in unity with All Creation!"
Inconceivable? Not for some! Someone who resisted doing the Language of Unity templates was sharing with me the other day that there was no way she could have the reality she is existing in today without them now. She said, "Even if someone told me I was going to end up living on the street, I would be fine." And, she isn't living on the street. The unity and love and manifestation in her life is beautiful to behold!
I have asked people who have worked with the Language of Unity templates to comment through this blog! We live with our minds 24/7. When they work right, they are our greatest ally!
Please schedule to do the Founational Templates and join us in 2010 for an amazing journey of You!

Considering and Sharing from the retreat with Sai Maa

From Deborah:
In the work of Metapoints, we are creating reality through a study of a language of unity. Language creates, and creating through unity leaves us restored to what connects us to life and has us live as whole. Studying Unity has us be present to how much we are vital aspects of the greater whole of which we are a part. The surprise for most of us as we consider what this means is we remember how much Creation needs and loves us. Often we are taken aback by that idea.
I have been talking for awhile in some of my gifted monthly telecalls and other conversations that one way to say what it is to be human is to say we are Love in Motion as well as we are 'moving metapoints'. We are in times calling for us to let the love Creation has for us in, to receive how much we are needed and loved, to let in how Creation truly perceives and recognizes us. We are the ones that have to "remember ourselves right", not Creation, and the time is now for this amnesia to give way to restored memories and connection we call a unity based reality.
Another great teacher and practitioner who also fosters this view, and is far, far closer to the living reality of what I said above than I, is Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi. Sai Maa's calling, in addition to fostering Unity-based realities, is to have everyone be able to rise into Mastery. Working with Sai Maa is one of the many ways Tantra participates to keep her system developed and attuned for getting her job done on the planet. There will be more about keeping our systems tuned and developed on our products blog: http://www.metapointsmetaproducts.blogspot.com/, where I'll talk about what it is to saturate your cells. For now, please read and be nourished by what Tantra presences from the retreat so far. To support you, one CD we offer that reinforces what she shares below is "Reconciliation", a recording of a spectacular Spirit Hour.
To purchase this CD or find out more about the work of Metapoints, feel free to contact me at metapoinsreality@yahoo.com to ask questions or set a time to talk.
From Tantra

My love for you overflows this evening. I have been working with Sai Maa's words and using the language of unity writing practice ferociously! Because of these 2 activities, tonight after being away from the community I took in the energy with such a huge ability to drink it in; such a huge ability to absorb and sustain and maintain wave after wave after wave of the most powerful energy so sweet and full of big bang I have ever felt.

I have been coming back for 10,000 years for this beginning. Sai Maa shared so many things. She asks we merge with our angels, masters, devas, guides this week. One of the clearest things I realized was that my body is taking in the light substance with no weakening, no shock, not personality wigging. The emotions are of a higher order. Grace be to God! Please use the language of unity writing techniques, and get into the Foundational Language of Unity class no matter what if you dont know what these writing techniques are. I know people don’t get it, dont get the importance of getting our minds elastic, but I am not speaking intellectually. I mean expanded into our greater intelligence. It is the writing practices that lets our minds be fluid, be of the greater mind and greater knowing as well as the daily cognitive intelligence, according to what is needed, including being sentiently aware as the rest of the system builds cellular ability to absorb the light. This is so essential; both 'parts': the mind and the cellular system. We must. We just must.

This experience of the time with Sai Maa tonight was so clean, even though my small brain was rattling on, it did not in any way distract me from moving with the metapoint of Sai Maa, Myself, and the room. Sharing like this, hosting Spirit Hour (on Sunday Oct 18 at 7:30am Mountain time) and the Gifted Monthly Telecall (on Monday Oct 19 at 6pm MT) are additional ways I know to help you take advantage of what is happening during this retreat. Even if I dont share directly about the events of this time with Sai Maa during Spirit Hour and the Gifted Monthly Telecall, my energy will be so enhanced by the shakti or life force that moves through her you will be activated and nourished just by being present.

We need to build our energetic fields, which is why I work with Sai Maa, not because I follow her. She trains me and changes me through the shakti that moves through her. We all need to build our energetic fields now. We do, with some urgency now. Listed below, I've put some of the key ideas Sai Maa has presenced in preparing us to take in more and more light as we shift our systems to higher capacities on this plane of life and in terms of being receptive to energies coming through at this time. Let the high shakti that moves through her come through the words to you, as well as the ideas of the words themselves.
DAY 1 Engaging with and enhancing our brains
Think fast with your brain. Move out of what no longer serves you instantly. Think past it quickly, as if you were playing leap frog over thoughts that do not serve.
Consider being devoted.
Consider being freely devoted.
Consider being fully aware.
Consider love as substance.

Consider we are love, made of love, as a substance.

So learn the languages of unity as part of enhancing your brain, restoring your brain and expanding your mind to its whole range of intelligence. Both are essential now. Then also, in considering we are love, made of love as a substance, that this is what makes us One, this is what calls us into At One Ment. Learning how unity works will have us know how to have a unity-based reality which is a creation-based system for living and thriving not a fear-based survival system. So consider we are made of love. Consider how much I love you and appreciate you. Consider that all of Creation loves you just as much, if not more, than Sai Maa and myself.
