#123 - Be Like a Martial
Arts Expert!
Imagine for a moment, that you are a martial arts expert and a very good one at that!
You are top of the range, black belt and your task today is to do a demonstration in front of a live audience, of how you can break a piece of wood with your hand.
You have two stacks of bricks piled up about half a metre apart and across them, is a substantial piece of wood.
Your intention is to break this piece of wood in front of the crowd.
You challenge the audience to tell you where to aim for, in order to break this piece of wood.f wood.
A voice from the back yells out,
"In the middle!"
and somebody else says,
"Just to one side of the middle, either left or right."
another chimes in with,
"Look for a weakness, maybe there's a knot in the wood that you can aim for and break it?"
None of those would be correct!
You see, the martial arts expert will aim for the space beyond the piece of wood, remembering that it is a game he's playing and all games have three primary components:
A purpose,
barriers and obstacles,
and freedoms.
If he puts his attention on the obstacle, which in this case is the unbroken piece of wood, then that's exactly where his hand will finish up.
He focuses all his attention on his hand travelling unobstructed through the piece of wood and arriving at the central space he aimed for.
The energy he generated broke the wood!
We won't actually achieve what we want to attain in our lives, if all of our attention is on the obstacles.
So how do we transpose that into a life skill?
We need to become informed of what the obstacles are in life. What are the challenges and at this juncture, there are many obstacles that we need to be aware of.
But if we put all our attention on these obstacles and challenges, that's where we become fixed and stuck.
We want to aim for the space beyond those challenges, to where do we want to be and what do we want to to create?
What can these challenges do for an infinite being having this human experience?
All of our trials and tribulations in life, stem from one fact, we actually believe we have 'disconnected' from who we are at the core.
And consequently, we have put our attention on the obstacles and challenges in life and we have become fixated on them.
Play the game of life fairly and steeped in cooperation and collaboration.
Know what the obstacles and challenges that you face, and that you attracted them through the reality you created, in order to become more conscious and evolved.
But know also, your freedoms and purpose for being here in order to create a richly rewarding life.
Our purpose is to come Home to who we are at our core, to the Source within us, to that Infiniteness that we are.
When we put our attention on that, then our whole game changes.
