LETTING GO OF SELF-CRITICISM

To start the meeting, Eddie Conner led us in another wonderful guided visualization entitled “Letting Go of Self-Criticism – Guided Visualization”.   This and all his meditations are available on our YouTube channel, MikeAndRamona.LOA. 

One of our members described how he did not listen to the doom’s day talk of the doctors when he was found to be HIV positive.  Instead, he cured himself through positive thinking. He is now known as “Miracle Mike”.  Here is a link to the Miracle Mike Video.  

Mike presented an LOA coronavirus update so that members could calibrate to their Source energy.  The message is it’s not the virus itself that is so dangerous. It’s the constant vibration emitted by the media at the same time the Universe is broadcasting a powerful well-being vibration 24/7.  To whom do you want to listen?  Ignore the subject and listen to Source’s signal.  Ramona’s mantra is “Count me out!”

The evening’s topic covered the subject of self-criticism.  The opening video is called “Letting Go of Self Criticism”  and is available, along with all our videos, on YouTube at MikeAndRamona.LOA.  Please subscribe and receive all our videos as they are released.

In the video, Abraham helps a young man who was raised in an environment of criticism and has become critical of others and himself. He feels his critical behavior is due to his upbringing, but Abraham points out an alternative.  Sometimes when people are raised in a loving environment – it could be only one family member who exhibits uncompromising love – then they encounter the shock of dealing with the public.  However, this man’s situation is different.  

When he is in his favorite environment which is creative (singing, playing guitar) he is fine.  When he has to interact with others, however, he feels they are critical of him.  When you have the mindset that people are critical, the Law of Attraction is unable to find the path of least resistance and, therefore, unable to line you up with people who are loving.  

Abraham advises him to get to the point where he doesn’t need those people to love him in order to be loved.  He must determine what influence he was under when he rendezvoused with them.  If he feels vulnerable and victimized, then that is the type of person he is attracting.  If he feels tapped in, tuned in and turned on, then he will rendezvous with those who feel the same.

It is only your perception that keeps you from feeling good when starting an interaction with others.  The fellow thinks it is fear of being criticized.  Abraham explains that fear is merely not being in sync with your Inner Being.  When he feels guilty about something he has done, Abraham explains he is not listening to his Inner Being.  He is using the emotional guidance scale (link to emotional guidance scale) to beat himself up because of where he is on the scale.  Instead, he should use the scale as it is meant to be used – to discover where you are vibrationally and as an assist in moving up to a better, feel-good place.  The better you feel, the more like your Inner Being you will be at that moment.  Your Inner Being is NEVER critical of you for any reason.  So, when you are self-critical, you have moved away from your Inner Being.  That’s what makes you feel bad.  

Abraham encourages us to never give up on our desires.  What we need to do is give up on our resistance.  While in that field of resistance, however, we are struggling with what we really do want.  When we get to the point of giving up, and we give up the resistance, a breakthrough happens and we have access to all we put into our vortex.

The young man had overdosed and ended up in a psych ward.  Abraham explained that while he was unconscious, he released the resistance long enough that it provided him with a new vibrational set point.  That was his path of least resistance.  

Life and struggle and contrast cause us to place a lot of wants into our vibrational reality.  You may not realize it, but what we are doing is asking.  You know what you do not want, which means you know what you do want by default. It is actually step 1 – ASK.  

This vibrational reality was real; cooperative components are being gathered whether we are ready or not.  This is step 2 – It Is Given.

While he was unconscious and his vibrational setpoint was being reset, he was able to release the resistance which placed him in the receiving mode.  By releasing resistance and letting the cooperative components in, he was in step 3 – Allow.  And during the time he was unconscious, he received a great offer in his favorite field – music.

The group added their pearls of wisdom gleaned from the video, and their additional thoughts as follows:

-Not to speak more about what I don’t want.  Instead, I choose to look at and speak about all the things that I do want and that I do love.

-I take naps when I get knotted up because it makes me feel happier.

-Whatever I focus on expands, so I now look at good things for the joy of it.

-I no longer talk about bad customers or their nasty behavior because I don’t want to attract more of the same.

-I love connecting to my inner being.  It’s my first place to rendezvous.

-That my crippling thoughts feel more like static radio.  As a result, when I feel this emotional static, I choose to look at things that beef up my pure alignment to Source.

-Static feels bad; joy feels good.

-We are all guilty of “Shoulding” on ourselves.

-I don’t overanalyze any longer.  I play in my feel-good heart energy instead.

-Trust – I continue to trust my inner being and to trust my gut feelings.

-Our Inner Beings do not “go down the rabbit hole” when we do.  It holds the space for us until we choose to reconnect to it.

-Everything in our lives right now is an exact reflection of what we are vibrating.

-I love marinating in joy and a good feeling place because I’m learning to take good care of myself.  I realize that if I don’t, no one else will be a match to my desire for joy.

-I convert intellectual language into absolute heart-feeling language because feelings create 99.99% of our lives.

-Before I speak, I breathe.  Before I act, I breathe.  Before I think, I breathe.  I do so because that pause helps me focus on what I do want instead of what I don’t want.

-It’s fun to let go of my old story, just because.

It’s easier to count my blessings

We had two members who participated in love seat sessions.  Members happily played the “what if?” game.

Our closing video was “Kid Hero” from KOLR News in Springfield, Missouri.

It's Not Your Job

The topic this evening is NOT YOUR JOB.  The meaning behind the topic is to help us determine what we should be concerned with and what should we not worry about.

Eddie Conner provided another inspiring meditation, available on our YouTube channel at Eddie Conner Meditation. This and many of his past meditations are available on our YouTube channel, MikeAndRamona.LOA. 

The opening video,It’s Not Your Job, is available on our YouTube channel at It’s Not Your Job.  In it, Abraham explains we don’t need to worry about how the earth spins, or if the sun is going to rise, or if our heart will pump blood through our veins.  It’s not your job to worry about things such as these because they are not action-oriented jobs.  Just relax and spend time thinking about things you can do to improve the world we live in.  We don’t need to withdraw from life; just remember there is an energy that creates worlds and it is working for you because you are blessed and deserving.  

When you are exposed to things that are unpleasant, such as people who are hungry or homeless, that experience sends up rockets of desire on how it could be better.  Those rockets are recognized by the energy that creates worlds and that, in turn, gives birth to a better world.  But, if you keep focusing on the problem, and don’t line up with the way you and the Universe would like to see it, nothing will change.  We must quit focusing on the problem and spend our time and energy aligning with the way we want the world to be.  

The animals and babies come into this world expecting well-being to flow.  How can we change the world to make it a better place for us and the animals and babies? Step back from it all for a month and tap into your true power.  Tell yourself you are going to predominantly daydream.  Show up in your wholeness expecting good things and inspiration to come in a timely manner. You will be accessing a higher power through your daydreaming.  Abraham says the energy of a non-resistant thought is more powerful than that of an atom bomb.

Abraham tells the story about Estherwaiting in the first-class lounge at the airport.  She received impulses to take a drink of water, to use a breath mint, and then to go to the departure gate about an hour earlier than needed.  When she was at the gate, someone recognized her and exclaimed that she had been wishing and hoping to run into her.  Esther realized that the person had been sending those thoughts and Esther, having followed each impulse, was drawn to her.  An example of how powerful and energetic those non-resistant thoughts can be.

The Universe knows everything you want and when you follow the impulses, you will be led to the path of least resistance which will give you the most fun along the way.  Usually, however, we want the big payoff, like winning the lottery, instead of the many smaller payoffs we get.  The Universe wants us to understand those smaller payoffs are just as rewarding. When we daydream, we are maintaining a feeling of alignment.  By following our impulses moment by moment, the Universe is delivering the best it has to offer.  That’s what living happily ever after really is.  Our lives will be filled with abundance, amazing rendezvous, and everything we need.

There is nothing we cannot be, or do, or have.  If we hold ourselves in vibrational resistance, however, our minds are enveloped in our resistance instead of where we want to be. Sometimes this is due to measuring our success in life against what others have done, how they have disapproved of us, etc.  In effect, we have given our power over to them.  When we understand this, we will allow ourselves to purposefully daydream and that will create vibrational alignment with what we want. 

Just daydream more, as you did when you were a child.  Start leveraging the energy that creates worlds, go to more places where you feel good, and daydream.  Give yourself time to sit still while your vibration rises so you can receive the impulses to put you in at the right place at the right time for the things you are looking for.  

The salient points picked up by the group were -- relax and allow good things to come, follow your impulses, let go of the struggle and just let it be, remember to take breaks and do the things you enjoy, let go of your old habits of thought one at a time.  Remember to let go of all the things that no longer serve you. Allow resistance to be your friend.  Remember that contrast births new rockets of desire; therefore, out of contrast comes beautiful things.  Each day do your part to choose joy and happiness over your old patterns of worry. An old adage is that when we work 30% less we make 100% more.  

We all have self-doubts.  We get them through habit, learning the wrong things to focus upon, following the crowd before we learn to follow our inner guidance system.  We also become complacent instead of staying in the flow of our inner guidance.

We can overcome self-doubt by using a number of tools at our disposal.  Dare to daydream, enjoy the small victories, focus on the happy moments, play, imagine, pretend, make-believe, be in the moment.  

A question was raised asking how to stay in the “not your job” mood when it comes to global warming and climate change.  The answer is no one person can reverse the situation.  We must all do our part.  If each person in the world planted one tree it would replace the damage being done to the Brazilian rain forest.  Just focus on what you want instead of the opposite.  Pay attention to, and place your focus upon what is working for the greater good.  The newer generations coming into this world is comprised of advanced souls that are coming forth to participate in healing our planet. Remember, the Universe always has our back.

Summary.  When we are faced with contrast or resistance, remember that’s what sends up rockets of desire for what you truly want.  Allow yourself to daydream about how you can contribute to the solution of the problem, the resistance, the contrast.  Don’t concentrate on the problem or on things over which you have no control. Daydream solutions.  Just daydream more.

Our next meeting will be on October 7.  Hope to see you there.
