Decide what you want to do, what you want to learn, to develop or to
develop further. Make a list of
such desires. Among the many
possibilities, you may decide that you want to sing, dance, draw or
to meditate, or to massage or to cook better, to overcome a certain
fear, to offer more love and service to others, to have more
discipline, to start a business, to study a language or some
science. There is a whole world of beautiful forms of learning and
expression. Nothing that we develop or learn is ever lost. It is all
recorded in our causal body, in the soul memory. All the objects we
accumulate in life will be left here, but the abilities and
awareness and knowledge we develop will be available to us in future
lives, if it is useful to us then.
Thus we would do better in life to spend time on learning and
developing our abilities on all levels, material, emotional, mental
and spiritual, so that we may find real happiness and spiritual
growth into higher levels of consciousness.
Once you have made your list of desired abilities, then start to
make a program as to how, on a very practical level, you are going
to do it. Are you going to follow a seminar, hire a teacher or
procure books on the subject? How much time are you going to spend
each day on developing that ability? "Practice makes
perfect" is the saying; and it is true. Only through practice
will that trait become yours. Even loving and feeling peaceful can
be practiced.
Get started. Do not delay. Do not put off the program for
tomorrow. It never comes. Tomorrow is always tomorrow. The present
is our only chance for liberation from the limiting beliefs of the
past.
1. I AM AN ALL-CAPABLE SOUL IN THE PROCESS OF EVOLUTION.
As I evolve, these abilities become more and more manifest. I am
acceptable in all cases, whether I succeed or fail. These are simply
two steps on the way to self-development. How could I ever learn to
do something if I do not try it for the first time? And how could I
expect myself to do it perfectly the first time? Thus, I can learn
only if I allow myself to make mistakes and not fear what others
will think of them.
2. ALL POWERS AND ABILITIES ARE WITHIN ME.
I am not really learning something new. It is like allowing the
almond seed to become an almond tree. It does not need to learn to
become a tree. The knowledge is within it. All knowledge of all
abilities is latent, like a seed within me. It needs only a little
water, earth, sun and air, in the form of practice, patience,
perseverance and detachment.
3. I AM AN INSTRUMENT OF THE EXPRESSION OF THE DIVINE
CONSCIOUSNESS.
Thus I can follow my inner voice which creates in me the desire
to move in various directions in my life. As long as I follow this
voice and the golden rule, "not to do anything to anyone that I
would not like them to do to me," I will be in that divine
flow. I can trust that divine flow, that inner voice. There is no
need to fear about economic security, or social acceptance. When I
am in the flow, not resisting, not fearing, all will be harmonious.
I will have everything that I need.
These thoughts can be made into affirmations that can be
introduced frequently into the mind in the various ways described in
the previous chapters.
I hope that your life will continue to blossom with greater and
greater harmony, love, peace and creative expression.
