Namaste'
Namaste' is an ancient Sanskrit word that means...
I honor the place in you where the entire universe dwells.
I honor the place in you which is of truth, of light, of peace, and love.
And when we communicate with that level of awareness,
WE ARE ONE!

____________________________________________________________

TRUTH 1:  YOU HAVE NEVER MADE A MISTAKE BECAUSE...
YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF ERROR OR FAILURE

From the perspective of the infinite correlation of a perfectly evolving Universe, you have done what you have done, and you have allowed others to do what they did to you, in order to learn, grow, and evolve spiritually...PERIOD! In a perfectly evolving Universe, it cannot be any other way. Therefore, you have never made a mistake because everything you did, you did in order to evolve spiritually. You may have missed a few opportunities to learn, but they weren't mistakes; they were all very valuable and necessary lessons that you needed to experience.

Each and every experience that you have created, you created with infinite precision for the evolution of your immortal soul. As a Godlike being, you are incapable of error or failure. What you perceive as error is either your old karma burning off or your spiritual evolution manifesting. An error or failure is just a mental justification, an excuse to deny what you did, or a reason to blame another for what happened. Your ego mind second-guesses your actions, which makes you "think" you are guilty or wrong. Remember, you have never made a mistake. Everything you did, you did to evolve spiritually. Your life is a perfectly orchestrated action plan for the evolution of your immortal soul...a soul that is on a journey home to your true inner Self!

TRUTH 2: MOST OF YOUR CORE FOUNDATIONAL BELIEFS ARE ROOTED IN... FEAR

It's sad to say, but at this time we still live in a fear driven, "survival of the fittest" society. Add to this the fact that your caretakers, whose foundational beliefs were (for the most part) rooted in fear, unconsciously passed these foundational fear beliefs onto you, and it should be fairly obvious that most of your foundational beliefs are rooted in fear rather than in love.

I'm sure that your caretakers did the best job they could; but unknowingly they programmed you with the fears and prejudices that they learned from their parents. When you learn how to reprogram your Self as if perfect parents raised you, your life force energy will begin to create the abundance that you richly deserve. You'll create relationships that are filled with love and intimacy, and your physical health will improve dramatically.

TRUTH 3: YOU HAVE NO ENEMIES... JUST LESSONS

You have no enemies, just lessons. The more that you feel that a person is your enemy, the more important the lesson is that they have come to teach you. Behind these illusional enemies hide the most important lessons of your life. The bigger the negative charge, the bigger the lesson. Assigning an enemy status to someone or "something" (like an addiction) allows you to go unconscious to the spiritual lesson that they were designed to teach you.

The law of attraction will keep pulling more "so-called" enemies into your life, creating even more dramatic experiences, until you finally learn the lesson or even worse, you stop caring altogether. If you unconsciously deny the TRUTH that your lessons are trying to teach you, you'll be destined to keep re-creating the same sequence of events over and over again until, as a call for help, you'll ask, "Why is this happening to me...AGAIN?"

TRUTH 4: AS YOU SPIRITUALLY ASCEND WITH TRUTH,
YOU BRING TO VIEW MORE OF YOUR EGO BASED... AVOIDANCE PATTERNS

As you keep spiritually ascending with each new spiritual truth that you learn, you bring to view more of your ego based avoidance patterns that you used to need to feel safe. So the spiritual healing process of SEE, FEEL and HEAL is, and always will be, an ongoing growth process. Spiritual Ascension requires you to continuously increase your awareness of your inner TRUTH.

The higher you ascend, the easier it will be for you to view your own and other's ego deceptions, requiring you to freely own and be responsible for your actions (or lack thereof). If you are unwilling to own the TRUTH that your ascension experience is allowing you to see, then your false beliefs will go on "autopilot." This will cause you to involuntarily and unconsciously replicate your false beliefs for the positive purpose of giving you yet another chance to see your denied TRUTH and to heal whatever needs to be healed or forgiven.

TRUTH 5: YOU ARE NEVER ALONE BECAUSE...GOD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU

You are a unique manifestation of the Universe, and at your core you are a spiritual being composed of light, energy, and love. As such, you are embraced in every moment by the presence of the eternal NOW and thus SPIRIT is always with you! You are never alone, for you are ONE spiritually with the entire Universe. The God-force energy that makes your heart beat, lets you breathe effortlessly, digests your food, and creates babies all with infinite correlation, is always with you!

Therefore, as a child of God, you can at any time surrender your challenges to your Higher powers, and know that SPIRIT will always be there to help and support you. Know that what you seek is already within you. Your journey home to your Self is a passage from the isolation of your ego mind, to the unified heart energy of your God-Self. You are now, and you have always been, interconnected with the infinite Oneness, "so ask for help and you shall receive it!"

TRUTH 6: YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH REQUIRES... ACTION

Your spiritual growth requires you to take action. Your learning must lead to you taking action. You must study, practice and emotionalize what you are learning in order for you to Self-actualize you own Divine potential. A farmer can't harvest his crops with prayer alone. After he is done praying, he must get off his knees and go into the fields. You have taken human form to experience things for the evolution of your immortal soul. So why don't you experience what it is you came to learn? The TRUTH is that without action...prayer, affirmations, and meditation can be the beginning of Self-delusion. And for a spiritually awakened person there is nothing worse than... SELF-DELUSION! You need to take action by going out into the world and experiencing what it is you came here to experience for the evolution of your immortal soul. Struggle, effort, and action are God's spiritual fitness program that makes you fit enough to Master the Game of Life.

TRUTH 7: YOU HAVE... GOD-LIKE ABILITIES

You were made in the image of God, and therefore you have Godlike abilities. You must never deny or make light of your Godlike abilities by not owning that whatever you are experiencing, you are creating. If you don't own what you are experiencing, you can't dis-create it, and if you don't dis-create it, you won't be able to manifest what you desire. Life is constantly testing us, and these tests may cause you to experience "temporary amnesia," a momentary forgetfulness of your Godlike abilities. At times, you'll experience emotional shocks that will force your ego to create false perceptions in an attempt to make you feel safe. It's at this point, when you are feeling emotionally low, that you need to surrender your ego and "let go and let God." Your dis-empowering beliefs block the place from which your God-force energy flows, and it's these negative, dis-empowering beliefs that negate your Godlike abilities.

This is why you need to learn how to FREE your Self with dis-creation...so that you can stop re-creating the false, ego-based beliefs that are draining you of your God-force energy. Any time that you go unconscious to your Godlike abilities, you must find where you have denied your divine birthright and inner TRUTH so that you can immediately recover these abilities. Using the light of focused awareness, you'll find your TRUTH hidden behind a false belief that you either consciously or unconsciously created in order to feel safe. You need to virtuously defend your Godlike abilities (especially when you create something that doesn't serve you well) in order to stay conscious of your Godlike powers. This awareness of your divine abilities will keep them working for your good, as well as for the good of the Universe.

HLC's SPIRITUAL BY LAWS

Below are HLC’s Spiritual and Organizational By Laws. These Spiritual By Laws clearly define why being in a consciously awakened, spiritually-based, loving relationship is vitally important for everyone who is consciously on a journey home to his or her inner Self.

ONE: The primary purpose for being in a spiritually based, loving relationship is to support each other’s spiritual growth.

TWO: A spiritual partnership is a covenant based on the highest degree of truth and integrity. Spiritual partners recognize their equality by acknowledging that they are unique manifestations of the same Spirit. They are capable of seeing through any negative human identities that may emerge. Instead, they focus on the Spirit that they share, the Namasté Consciousness within them where they are spiritually ONE.

THREE: Being in a committed, consciously awakened spiritual relationship creates inner satisfaction and an environment that supports spiritual growth. As a child of God, you deserve to be empowered by a relationship that fulfills your emotional and spiritual needs. Within this nurturing space you can more easily develop your spiritual skills, because this environment creates the fertile ground that is necessary for you to grow at your optimum rate. Your relationship skills will continue to grow because you both understand that your relationship is an ongoing process. Your continual growth prevents boredom and stagnation, and enhances your inspirational creativity. Your spiritual relationship creates an environment that enhances and supports the continual growth and development of your inner spiritual Self.

FOUR: Spiritual partners bond with the understanding that they are together because it is appropriate for their souls to grow together. Spiritual partners pledge to handle all decisions from a holistic perspective defined as: “What benefits the relationship the most benefits me the most.”

FIVE: Spiritual partners recognize that the partnership is always in the process of holistic growth and therefore flexibility and commitment to truth is essential. To quote Mahatma Gandhi, “In life I am committed to truth, not consistency.” A spiritual partnership requires education, commitment, flexibility, love, and unconditional acceptance.

SIX: Spiritual partnerships are much freer and more open than the old-world models. They leave behind the stereotypical roles that exist merely for survival and protection. Instead they seek to align themselves with Universal Spirit for the purpose of spiritual evolution and emotional growth. Spiritual partners know that as they align themselves with Spirit, success and prosperity will follow. They choose to place their attention and intention on developing their Divine Self for the purpose of their own growth, the growth of their relationship, and that of the Global Spiritual Awakening.

SEVEN: By choosing to be in a spiritual relationship, you are choosing to respond to your partner with compassion and love instead of fear and doubt. This will help you to create a New-World Model. You bring your Responsibility Communication skills to all of your relationships, which manifests a more harmonious and serene life for you and all be-ings with whom you come into contact.

HLC's TRAINING MANTRA

Commit, Study, Practice, internalize, Emotionalize

COMMIT… because you need to wholeheartedly commit to undertaking your own Self-mastery as the most important course of your life! This textbook is a spiritually deep educational course entitled… You 101 or You-ology. If you use this book as a Self-mastery course, it will teach you about… You; why you do what you do; how you were programmed; how NOT to pass your negative programming on to your family and friends; why you repress certain feelings; how to distinguish your mind from your spirit; how to speak the language of feelings; how to create spiritual relationships with your family, spouse, co-workers etc.; how to manifest an abundant life; how to unconditionally love and accept yourself; how to fulfill your emotional dependency needs that were never fulfilled by your parents, and so on.

STUDY…because it’s easy for a woman or man of knowledge to obtain Self-mastery, but it’s very difficult for a person who is ignorant of how the Laws of Life work!

PRACTICE… because humans learn by taking action and going through a process of trial and error. Studying, alone, only creates intellectual faith. Faith without action is useless! Faith without action usually manifests in self-delusion, and there is little worse than self-delusion on… your journey home to Self-mastery!

INTERNALIZE… To internalize wisdom you must stay in first party. You must speak, write, feel and think in first party (use “I” language) because it will force you to internalize all of the meta-knowledge that you have collected over the years.

EMOTIONALIZE…because intellectual knowledge is easier to acquire than emotional knowledge. Conceptual thought does not require you to change your behavior. When you learn to internalize and emotionalize the knowledge contained within these pages, your behavior will change and the imprint will be permanent. Emotionalizing is the key to permanent behavioral change. Knowledge without action has no value. It is easy to read about why Self-mastery is important, but to do it, live it, and feel it so that your actions create permanent behavioral change requires you to commit, study, practice, internalize and emotionalize!

____________________________________________________________

There are five Self-mastery Disciplinas that create the life-force energy you’ll need to fuel your journey home to Self-mastery. They are: (1) Prayer; (2) Feeling Your Healing Feelings; (3) Self-parenting Visualizations; (4) Spiritual Distinction Meditation; and (5) Dis-creation.

• PRAYER - To willingly and consciously surrender to your Higher Powers so that your Spirit can orchestrate the infinite correlation of details that are necessary for you to manifest your desires.
• FEELING YOUR Healing FEELINGS - To communicate with your Intuitive Self using the language of feelings techniques.
• Self-parenting VisualizationS - To help you fulfill your emotional dependency needs that were not met during your childhood.
• Spiritual distinction MEDITATion - To distinguish between your mind and your Spirit; to train your mind to obey your Spirit.
• DIS-CREATION - Dis-creation is a two-step process: (1) delete your old negative programs; and (2) install new positive Self-mastered programs to counter-balance your life-force energy.

SELF-MASTERY DISCIPLINA #1...PRAYER

SURRENDERING to your HIGHER POWERS with PRAYER means to willingly and consciously surrender to your higher powers so that your Spirit can orchestrate the infinite correlation of details that are necessary for the manifestation of your desires. These are the BENEFITS you'll receive when you surrender to your higher powers with prayer.

SURRENDERING to my HIGHER POWERS with PRAYER:

• Allows my God-like powers to steer me in my right spiritual direction.
• Allows me to detach from my ego mind when it says... "I don't need help, I can do it alone!"
• Helps me to remember that I'm never alone because God is always with me.
• Allows God to chauffeur me around instead of trying to carry the world on my shoulders.
• Grants me the wisdom to know that life's outcomes depend more on God than on me.
• Allows me to unconditionally accept my life, even when my lessons are taught with pain, for today's pain is the seed of tomorrow's joys!
• Helps me to understand that... "I can't steer the river!"
• Grants me the peace that comes from knowing that I can't control what people say about me, only what I say, do, and feel!
• Helps me to detach from my friends and family in order to allow them to learn from the natural consequences of their actions!
• Is a LIFELONG PROCESS of making peace with the fact that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing for my highest spiritual good, even if it doesn't feel good. For I know that in a perfectly evolving universe it cannot be any other way!

SELF-MASTERY DISCIPLINA #2...feeling your healing feelings

Feeling your healing feelings by communicating with your Intuitive Self using the Languages of Feelings is one of most important spiritual lessons of life. The Language of your Intuitive heart is your primary healing tool. It is your language of love; it is the language of your Spirit. When you consciously feel your inner Self, you will know that you are ONE with all of life everywhere and that will make you feel safe, sane and secure in the world. 

• Helps me to feel and release what actually happened to me so that I won’t unconsciously keep reliving it over and over again.
• Helps me to be life-force-energy efficient because processing my life through my feelings first is ninety percent more energy efficient than thinking first.
• Helps me to stay in vibrational Harmony with my God-Self
• Dis-charges my blocked negative electromagnetic energy.
• Helps me to identify what I am repressing, denying, or minimizing.
• Reminds me that painful emotions are "signposts" that show me what I still need to heal.
• Helps me to emotionally attune my vibrational frequencies with God.
• Improves my psycho-spiritual health.
• Helps me take full responsibility for what I am feeling.
• Improves my relationships by allowing me to give and receive love.
• Reminds me that the more I feel my healing feelings the faster I will heal.
• Helps me to “observe” what is emotionally happening inside of me.

SELF-MASTERY DISCIPLINA #3...SELF-PARENTING VISUALIZATIONS

VISUALIZATIONS really work and you can prove it to yourself. Close your eyes and imagine that you are chewing on a lemon. What you'll notice is that you'll start to salivate, because your mind can't tell the difference between a real and an imagined lemon. In the same way, your mind won't be able to tell the difference between your real childhood experiences and your re-parented and imagined Visualizations. These are the BENEFITS you'll receive when you integrate Self-parenting visualizations into your life:

SELF-PARENTING VISUALIZATIONS:

• Help me to FEEL better quickly.
• Help me to heal the wounds that were too painful for me to deal with when I was a child.
• Work because I now have adult-like powers that I didn't have when I was a child.
• Help me to emotionally validate that my parents didn't fulfill all of my emotional dependency needs.
• Help me to realize that the abuse I experienced wasn't my fault!
• Help me to unconditionally accept myself.
• Bring me to the realization that my painful feelings are my sole responsibility to heal.
• Teach me how to Self-nurture myself.
• Make me feel healthy, strong, and Self-empowered.
• Make me feel SAFE & SECURE just as if perfect parents raised me.

SELF-MASTERY DISCIPLINA #4... SPIRITUAL DISTINCTION MEDITATION

The primary purpose of the SPIRITUAL DISTINCTION MEDITATION is to teach you how to develop the ability to consciously feel the difference between your mind and your Spirit. The Spiritual Distinction Meditation is different (not better) from the typical cognitive or "thinking" meditations where you use your mind to train your mind. These are the BENEFITS you'll receive when you do the Spiritual Distinction Meditation daily:

SPIRITUAL DISTINCTION MEDITATION...

• Trains my mind to obey my Spirit.
• Quiets my mind chatter.
• Helps me to detach from life's dramas.
• Strengthens my powers of attraction.
• Helps me to hear when I need to dis-create my old negative programming.
• Helps me to distinguish between my Spirit, body, vision, and mind.
• Releases emotional stress.
• Helps me to hear my intuitive messages.
• Makes me feel unconditionally loved.
• Helps me to be less re-active to life's dramas.

SELF-MASTERY DISCIPLINA #5... DIS-CREATION

DIS-CREATION is a new discovery; it's the missing step of the conscious creation process. DIS means to stop and CREATION means to consciously create a new belief. These are the BENEFITS you'll receive when you DIS-CREATE your negative beliefs:

DIS-CREATION...

• Allows me to HEAR when I'm unconsciously sub-vocalizing.
• Means to consciously STOP re-programming negative beliefs.
• Helps me to STOP re-creating realities that I no longer want to experience.
• Teaches me how to DETECT when I'm playing negative tapes in my head so that I can STOP the tape.
• Teaches me how to re-program myself with new positive programs.
• Teaches me how to RE-CREATE the beliefs that feel good and DIS-CREATE the ones that don't feel good.
• Helps me to DISCERN the difference between my mind talk and my spiritual intuition.
• Trains me to be more sensitive to subtle shifts in my feelings.
• Helps me to become more aware when my feelings shift from positive to negative.
• Helps me to own the fact that the thoughts that are playing in my head are MY THOUGHTS.

____________________________________________________________

DIS-CREATION

Life is composed of positive and negative charges of energy, from the smallest subatomic particle to our immense Sun. Depending on the context, humanity has a variety of terms to describe these contrasts of polar opposites. Batteries have positive and negative terminals. Eastern spiritual thought refers to the yin & yang energies of duality. Metaphysically we refer to contrasts as paradoxical. Religions impart a moral judgment and define them as good & evil. Emotionally we call them happy and sad. The medical institutions call them healthy and dis-eased. Conscious Creation needs both a positive and a negative charge of energy to manifest from the unseen world of Spirit, to the seen world of solid matter.

A HU NOTE:
You learn what you want to Re-create, and what you want to
Dis-create, by the CONTRASTS you experience.

Dis-creation is a new discovery. It’s the “missing step” of the Conscious Creation Process. When you add Dis-Creation to your Conscious Creation Process, you’ll be clearing away your mental roadblocks and emotional baggage (resistance) that are short-circuiting your divine ability to be a conscious creator.

Dis-creation simply means… To consciously STOP RE-CREATING negatively programmed beliefs and then to consciously create what it is that you do want to create. Negative beliefs are not good or bad, right or wrong – they just are! Most people go through life hauling around a lot of useless emotional freight simply because they don’t know how to free themselves from their negative core beliefs.

The Dis-creation process was developed to teach you how to effectively deal with your core negative beliefs. Most people aren’t consciously aware of their core negative beliefs because they are so basic to their way of thinking that they don’t recognize them as beliefs at all; they assume that “it’s just the way life is.”

THREE CYCLES OF CONSCIOUS CREATING

There are three developmental cycles to the CONSCIOUS CREATION PROCESS:

1. Unconscious Creation: You will keep unconsciously creating your life until you “awaken” to the fact that you have co-created all the positive and negative experiences of your life because… your beliefs create your reality.
2. Dis-Creation: When you awaken spiritually to the fact that your beliefs create your reality, you can then take an inventory of your core negative beliefs and consciously choose to dis-create them. You can train yourself to feel and HEAR when you are negatively sub-vocalizing your core negative beliefs so that you can stop unconsciously re-programming them, and then consciously program any positive beliefs that you do want to create into your life.
3. Conscious Creation: As a Self-mastered be-ing with a clean slate of mind, you can consciously create any beliefs you want based solely on what it is you want to experience.

A HU NOTE:
Again, the Conscious Creation Process is based on three Laws of Healing:
(1) Nothing changes until it becomes what it is...Love.
(2) No two objects can occupy the same space at the same time;
you are either resonating Love or Fear.
(3) Your Beliefs Create Your Reality.

Self-parenting is… heart work. Self-parenting exercises like the one below will help you to focus your attention on the intuitive, emotional and feeling elements of your inner Self-mastery studies. The primary objectives of the Self-parenting exercises are to help you fulfill your emotional dependency needs that were not met during your childhood. Emotional dependency needs are the intimacy, nurturing, unconditional love and boundary protection that a person needs in order to feel safe, sane, and secure in the world.

Consciously fulfilling your emotional dependency needs will allow you to function in the world as an emotionally mature, highly functional adult. The Self-parenting exercises take the concept of Self-nurturing from an abstract, hard-to-understand theoretical concept and breaks it down piece by piece into a step-by-step, easy-to-understand, specific set of emotionally Self-nurturing exercises.

Self-parenting Poem

As an adult…

If you don’t learn how to fulfill your
Emotional Dependency Needs,
Then you’ll never feel safe, sane and secure in the world.

If you don’t expect emotional intimacy,
You are saying that…
“I’m Ok with you being emotionally distant from me,”
And you’ll distance yourself for fear of rejection.

If you don’t demonstrate unconditional love for your Self,
You are showing people that
“I’m not worthy of receiving love,
Nor your benefit of the doubt.”

If you don’t demand respect,
You’ll give people permission to treat you disrespectfully.
For we teach people how to treat us
By the way we treat ourselves.

If you don’t use your adult powers,
You’ll fall prey to your own “child-like” ego defenses.
And the walls you build
Will keep out the love you seek.

If you don’t maturely defend your boundaries
With your adult powers,
Then people will “trespass” you
Just like they did when you were a child.

If you don’t give your Self permission to be your true Self,
Then people will “mold you” into who they want you to be,
Taking you further away from the light of the Self
And further into the darkness of your “persona” (mask).

If you don’t learn to validate and release your feelings,
Then your feelings will create dis-ease within you.
For a dis-ease is a perfect creation,
A negative feeling made manifest.

If you beat your Self up when you “act out”
With “less than perfect” behavior,
Then you are affirming that, “I am my behavior”
And not a child of God.

If you’re not willing to practice your Self-parenting skills
Until they become a part of your consciousness,
Then when life “tests” you
You’ll attempt to protect your Self
Just as you did when you were a child.

If you don’t “respond with ability” to make your life,
Emotionally, sexually and physically
Safe, Sane and Secure,
Then you’ll live a life of “quiet desperation,”
Comfortable in your “uncomfortable-ness”
And fearful of life’s opportunities.
Hu~Ji

THREE LEVELS OF FIRST PARTY COMMUNICATION SMA

Communicating in the first party means saying "I" or "me" instead of "you," as in,"I feel that...," "I believe that...," "That is affecting me by...." When you use the word "you," in a communication it usually means that you are philosophizing, conceptualizing, and/or theorizing (as I’m doing here). This can be a very subtle ego defense that the ego uses on spiritually awakened people. It means that you get it intellectually, but you haven’t internalized it.

INTERNALIZE + EMOTIONALIZE = PERMANENT BEHAVIORAL CHANGE

The Self-mastery exercise of staying in first party allows you to internalize and emotionalize all of the meta-knowledge that you have collected over the years by reading so many enlightening books, attending seminars and listening to recordings.
Self-mastery techniques must be internalized and then emotionalized because permanent behavioral change only happens when you emotionalize that which you have been studying until it finally becomes a part of your consciousness.

PRIMARY BENEFIT OF FIRST-PARTY COMMUNICATION

The primary benefit of first-party communication is that it creates permanent behavior change by internalizing and emotionalizing your daily life experiences.

SECONDARY BENEFIT OF FIRST PARTY COMMUNICATION

The secondary benefit of first-party communication is that it trains you to hear your ego’s negative programming, so that you can dis-create programs that no longer serve you well.

ULTIMATE BENEFIT OF FIRST PARTY COMMUNICATION

The ultimate benefit of first-party communication is that it supports you in staying awake to your God consciousness.

LEVEL 1 - FIRST-PARTY COMMUNICATION

Level 1 first-party communication will help you to internalize and emotionalize what you are experiencing so that you can create permanent behavioral change. Begin by replacing “you” and “we” statements with “I” and “me” statements. The average student takes ninety days to form this mastery habit.

LEVEL 2 - FIRST PARTY COMMUNICATION

Level 2 first-party communication will train the feeling pathways of your brain to hear what you are vocalizing and or sub-vocalizing. Eastern philosophy calls this conscious listening to your mind being in the “witness” or the “observer” position. When you consciously speak in first party you are training yourself to “hear” when your words are rooted in an old, reactive, negative programming as opposed to when your thoughts and feelings are “sourcing” from your Intuitive God-Self.

LEVEL 3 - FIRST-PARTY COMMUNICATION

The ultimate benefit of staying in first-party communication is that it will help you stay awake to your Higher consciousness. After several months of practicing, this exercise will help you to intentionally identify your Self as the God-like being that you really are instead of what most of us have been programmed to falsely believe that we are—our roles, job titles and/or any other negative or positive conditioned behaviors or beliefs.

At the highest level of first-party communication you are consciously communicating with the awareness that what you are saying originates from “a knowing” that you are One with your inner God-Self. When you consciously do this, your subsequent actions indicate that you believe you are “at cause” for what is, and what has been, manifested in your life.

To communicate at this level you will need to develop the habit of consciously adding a God-Self distinction phrase to your communications. This distinction phrase will help you separate your thoughts, feelings and behavior from your God-Self.

Remember that you create thoughts, feelings and behaviors, but you aren’t your thoughts feelings or behaviors. You have a car, but you are not your car. You live in a house, but you are not your house. You manifest feelings, but you are not your feelings. You perform positive and negative behaviors, but you are not your behaviors. You are an eternal life-force energy that we call Spirit, and it is this Spirit that is creating your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, but isn’t them.

KEY PHRASES TO HELP YOU STAY AWAKE TO YOUR GOD CONSCIOUSNESS

Key distinction phrases such as, “My Ego says; my negative programming has; my story line is that; my old belief is; my mind is telling me that,” etc., will help you stay in God Distinction. Two examples: “My negative programming is bringing up so much fear for me that I am experiencing anger and feeling frightened about…” “My Ego-Mind had me stuck in neurosis all weekend over whether or not I should…”

OBSERVE AND CORRECT SMA

Observe and Correct is a Self-mastery technique that will help you to validate yourself in a safe, sane and kind way when you display less than perfect Self-mastery behavior. It will also help you to quickly correct the behavior instead of wasting a lot of time making up reasons (ex cusas) why you need to be “perfect” to feel safe and be accepted.

These next six paragraphs were taken from an SMA written by Debbie Smith, an HLC professional certification student. I am sure you will relate to what she experienced as she discovered for herself the power of observe and correct.

I now finally understand why I have such a fear of making mistakes; it is because I was criticized and ridiculed all too often as a child. To stay safe I used most of my energy trying not to make a mistake or look stupid. For most of my adult life, I kept unconsciously making the same mistakes over and over again in an attempt fix myself.

I can’t count the number of times that I pretended to know what someone else was talking about because I was terrified to look stupid. I believed that if anyone thought that I was stupid they would reject me or even worse, abandon me.

Currently, I am working on mastering the Self-mastery healing technique called Observe and Correct. The Observe and Correct technique helps me to focus most of my life force energy on what I want to create in my life. In the past, I did just the opposite; I observed, explained and complained, which wasted my energy on making excuses for why I manifested what I did not want, and in turn I attracted even more of what I did not want into my life.

My fear of making mistakes has kept me in a cycle of observe and explain rather than observe and correct. I have lived in F.E.A.R. my whole life that my actions would disappoint someone (my dad), because I felt no matter what I did it was never good enough. I neurotically believed that no matter what I did it would never be good enough to gain my caretakers, bosses, spouse’s and even my own children’s love and approval.

How do I stop my cycle of OBSERVE & EXPLAIN?

First, I need to internalize and emotionalize the knowledge that it is now safe for me to make a mistake. As a Self-empowered adult I am responsible only for me. I have learned that what other people think of me is none of my business. Now I seek only God’s approval and of course, my own. I am learning to love myself unconditionally especially when I make a mistake. I do not have to feel guilty or blame another or make an excuse for my “gutter balls” of life because mistakes are how I learn. I am 100% committed to doing whatever it takes to become a Self-parented adult who knows how to fulfill her emotional dependency needs.

"Don't argue for other people's weaknesses. Don't argue for your own.
When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it - immediately."
Stephen R. Covey

My primary adult responsibility is to respond with ability by observing and correcting my behavior until I master my own life. I am now willing to “fall down seven, get up eight,” because I now know the Observe and Correct technique is the secret ingredient of the Law of Growth. I now use my adult powers to make it safe for me to make a mistake.

When I do make a mistake I quickly get up again instead of wasting my life force energy explaining and making excuses for why I fell down. By mastering the Observe and Correct Self-mastery technique I now joyfully invest my life force energy into creating a Self-mastered life that even the Gods themselves would envy!
