The Attack on America:** A Call for Higher Consciousness - Chapter 10
The Attack on America: A Call for Higher Consciousness - Chapter 10
“The purpose of doing the codependence recovery / inner child healing work is to improve the quality of our life experience. We can learn to own the power to be conscious co-creators of our lives by becoming aware of how to accept the things we cannot change - and change the things we can. We have the power to change the quality of our relationship with our self and with life by doing this work.” *** “There is nothing wrong for example, in wanting a romantic relationship - of wishing for one that will be a Loving and nurturing partnership / friendship that will last for the rest of our lives. What is dysfunctional is allowing the fact that we don’t have a relationship today to dictate and define how we feel today. If I focus on my issues about being deprived of companionship, affection, romance, etc., in this lifetime, I can make myself miserable today. I don’t deny having those issues, but I also do not focus on them. If I am focusing on the part of my glass that is empty, I co-create my experience today out of feelings of deprivation and victimization. That is not enjoyable. That is not balanced.” *** “And if we are basing our feelings of worth on our looks or talents or intelligence - if we are buying into the codependent illusion that we are better than others because of these external manifestation - we are taking credit for gifts. Our inherent capabilities and features as a human being are something we are born with. To believe that you are unworthy as a being because you are overweight - and born into a culture where being overweight is considered “bad” rather than a culture that sees it as a sign of prosperity and status - is to be a victim of your genetic make up and/or your emotional wounding. Some people are overweight because of genetics. Most people are overweight because they learned to cope with their emotional wounds using food. In many cases, people are overweight as a means of defending themselves because of a history of heartbreak and/or sexual abuse. Often it is our fear of intimacy that is at the core of weight problems.” *** “We truly need to learn to “go with the flow” - by letting go, by surrendering the illusion that we are in control of life, by accepting reality as it is, by learning emotional honesty so our emotional energy can flow - in order to transform life into an adventure that we have the ability to enjoy some of the time instead of a dreadfully painful and terrifying struggle we are enduring.”
