In Haanel this morning, I was struck by the reference to the power of fear and what it is doing to me and our society.
As a White… and for those from outside the Master Key Experience (MKE), I am not speaking of my Caucasian race…I know that this emotion has significant power over someone whose actions are already suppressed by his personality type.
In the simple blueprint builder of “thought charged with feeling becomes a belief…” it is now clear to me how our society has devolved into something that was supposed to be part of our past.
On a personal level, I know that my health and my body have suffered greatly over the years. I have watched fear take on a “leading role” in my weakness and self victimization.
Age, family, genetics, medicine, and the daily grind of living takes a toll on our bodies and our minds. In watching the TED talk on non-verbals…it puts into perspective the question of “which came first?”
Over the past 20 years, I have been slowly and regularly assured by my body and my family history that I was destined for arthritis and just as recently as a few years ago I was limping everywhere.
The idea of a power pose was as foreign to me as someone from the opposite side of the planet. There was a turning point and it came out of desperation. I decided to seek facts. As a WHITE in the color code…this is not out of character.
Today, as part of a “rehab plan” from a recent heart attack…also related to this same issue…I am in a gymnasium class with five other adults. Many of them younger than me are struggling with their physical abilities that I believed would hold me back as well.
The difference is that today, that arthritis is no longer a given. I have not moved this free from pain in over 20 years. My mind has cut through the crap of limiting beliefs and has healed my body.
It is genuinely ironic that this body that needed correct thinking to become healed is the source of conquering fear in other aspects of my life. I definitely identified with the idea of not believing that I belong in my job, chosen career or even my family.
The fact that I made the career and the family is a testament to the resilience and ultimately a confirmation of the fact that “doing regularly leads to becoming….”
The challenge that I face now is that in a new season of life the changes are far too often focusing on what I have lost as opposed to what I can become and that is when fear takes a foothold.
The tools of the DMP, the blueprint builder, charging MY CHOSEN THOUGHTS with feeling, and reinforcing them now with nonverbals will accelerate my progress towards making my life meaningful to me and the world around me.
Michael, I appreciate your honest reflection. Congrats on being an example of “doing regularly leads to becoming”. Thank you for sharing.
This is a powerful testimony to the mind-body connection Michael and the triumph of applied truth. “This body… is the source of conquering fear”—what a profound realization! Your journey from being assured of arthritis to moving freely is living proof that thought charged with feeling does become belief, and belief becomes reality. Your resilience is inspiring. Here’s to your new season of becoming!
I like this, Michael. It is interesting that fear holds us back, and that when we expect physical malady that is what we receive. It’s a powerful awareness!
