The Four Agreements ~ Don Miguel Ruiz
Our personal dream, the whole interaction between the dream and the dreamer, is constantly shifting and changing. But in the virtual reality in our mind, we try to stop things from changing. Humans get attached to the dream; we resist the transformation of Life. And this attachement, this resistance, creates emotional pain.
By Resisting the transformation of Life, humans create the illusion of death; we suffer from every "loss" again and again. Humans have a powerful memory and we witness our own dreams. In our memory we attach to what is past, we try to bring it back to life, and in the virtual reality we succeed.
We create a whole movie in our mind that we can repeat as often as we want to. If we close our eyes and use our imagination, we can see the movie again and again in the same way, from our point of view, of course, with our own interpretation that is only true for us. We modify our memories and distort the images; what we remember is not the way things really happened, but the movie keeps playing in our mind.
Life is what is happening; death is what is not happening. A moment after something happens, it is already dead. Whatever happened to us as a child, in school, with friends, in love relationships - whatever was true thirty years ago - is no longer true. Our whole personal history is dead, but we become so attached that we bring back the ghost in our mind.
We carry the memory of our whole life knowing that it is dead, that it is no longer true, and yet if effects our everyday life. It is true that the memory happened but it's also true that it is not happening anymore. It is gone; it isn't real. If it was real, it's no longer real...."
Now today I was given tools to help me cope with my shifting aura part of which said to 'Be at peace with what is happening to your being.... To be kind to yourself and nurture yourself.... You will need time to grow in strength and learn the skills of your new environment.
She also gave me a list of daily affirmations (something I have never done). Here's my favorite.
I AM accepting full responsibility for my own healing process on all levels (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual), to improve my daily welll-being and my quality of life.
Be good to yourself Det.
