Do you ever feel you’re slipping backward? That you’ve made so much progress and now your old patterns seem to be making a comeback? Guess what. That’s not the case. You’re not actually going backward; it may feel that way, but you’ve only come to a bump in the road of life.

Under Construction
The thing is, the paradigm has already shifted; you can’t become unaware of what you’re already aware of. You may be resisting for whatever reason, but you can’t actually go backward without deleting the experiences that brought you forward in the first place. It would take some serious form of amnesia to do that. How long you spend contemplating the bump is totally up to you. When you’re ready you’ll conquer the bump - under, over, around, or through - you’ll get to the other side of it. And every time you do this, the easier it gets. Pretty soon, the big bumps will be mere blips on the monitor of your life’s journey.

Whatever am I talking about? I’m talking about being. Let me put it on a more mundane level, I guess you’d say I’m referring to a way of being - for instance, the way each of us acts, and for that matter, reacts - sometimes especially that. Every action is generated by a thought arising from a feeling. This is where choice comes in. It’s the thinking about it that decides how one chooses to act. After awhile, of course, we begin making those choices somewhat unconsciously, and we find ourselves acting in a very predictable manner. It would seem, then, that our egos are easily trained, and yet that’s not been my experience.

Let’s investigate the ego. The purpose of ego is self-preservation, so when our egos are involved it’s for the purpose of protecting ourselves. How that comes to light depends on what the ego thinks the self needs to be protected from. Interestingly, it seems most of our actions stem from childhood experiences - both positive and negative. After all, this is when a phenomenal amount of learning occurs. As a child, if a particular situation made us feel good, we learned to react in a positive way. Conversely, if something made us feel bad, our reaction was negative. So, unless there’s been a powerful intervention to change the emotion associated with a particular event, our reactions and choices will be similar for the rest of our lives. This is what’s known as conditioning.

Powerful interventions can occur in both negative and positive manners. Sometimes we might experience something ‘bad’ in a situation where we previously had only ‘good’ feelings, and vice versa. Notice I’ve used quotation marks around ‘bad’ and ‘good’ because these are subjective feelings. They describe our personal take on a situation. Particularly when something ‘bad’ hurts us, our ego, which is our survival instinct, takes over in an attempt to prevent that from ever happening again, and so the pattern is changed. Negative events are very powerful modifiers, but they make us fearful, which causes us to spread more negative energy.

I think we all agree we’d rather spread positive energy - happiness, joy, and ecstasy. It’s more productive, it makes the people around us feel better, and of course, we feel ‘good’ instead of ‘bad’. But how can we make this happen when we find ourselves in a negative space? We might feel sad, angry, frustrated, or just plain scared, for whatever reason. How do we shift the energy from negative to positive?

In the same way a trauma can change the way we react to certain events, so a powerful positive experience can also shock us into changing old patterns. It blows our hearts wide open, making us more accepting of whatever lies in our path. When our hearts are open we’re more capable of dealing with challenges, and we just naturally influence others positively.

What sort of powerful positive experience has the ability to effect serious positive change in our attitude? Well, I’ve participated in several life-changing seminars and workshops. What made them life changing is that they challenged my fears and took me way beyond my comfort zone. Because they were designed for me to discover success when I took the plunge, I felt great joy when my fears were conquered. This gave me a whole new association with challenging my fears in general. I learned that I was capable of being successful when I acted in spite of fear. This is an amazingly empowering feeling. There is nothing more positive than feeling the power within. I highly recommend challenging yourself on a regular basis. The joy you feel when you succeed is unmatched.
