What about goals, free attention and not being attached to outcomes?
Goals are the gifts we give ourselves, but I, like others Curing Seriousitis™, at times are attached to having outcomes our way.
I am trained in using the specific, measurable outcomes that reflect my accountability. A way that is enjoyable, enlightening and easily remembered, so I can repeat it. However, in all these years of using goals, messages have come to me that there are other forces at work in my multi-verse.
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray and Love, in a Ted Talk gives some very convincing arguments from Roman times that ‘Muses’ are still at work.
Anyone with ‘writers’ block’ can attest that when we get out of our own way {the DEBS- distractions, excuses, blames and self-pity} we begin to function as creators or channelers.
The whole questions of creation become circumspect when I ponder “The questions is whether man makes his own language or whether wisdom enters from above, using man as a mere vehicle for divine providence” to quote Herbert Whone.
The new age phrase, ‘Let Go, Let God” is a razors edge in the free attention quest of creation. Notwithstanding the huge question of God, not to be pondered today, but what is it to Let Go, Let God?
Is it to let go of the doubts and uncertainty while also letting go of the compulsive chronic critic of contraction (counter action)?
Yes, letting go of such identities can be a greater challenge than ‘writers block.’
How can this negative mental attitude (NMA) identity be useful?
What other purposes can it serve? Can I put it to work? My human system is very involved in staying safe without the need of self-abasement and ‘hammers of stupid and wrong’. I
would like the NMA identity to referee, or coach me away from the ego world of having to be right, not making mistakes and the so boring ‘I already know this, that, or the other.’
Let the NMA identities teach and remind me how to handle my critics and Seriousitis™. The Id’s can hear the clues, the stinking thinking and give them a ‘thanks for sharing’, a discreation from the Hoover, or even a thanks I can use that.
My identities like to be useful, and open doors to let the Muses handle creation and goals.
