The Absence of ‘The Truth’ Sets Us Free

I had 2 momentum steps this week that happened because I set the intention, not because I ‘brute forced’ my way through them.
One momentum step was to set to dates for presentations. I had set one, but not the second one. I went to church at Religious Science and at the end Mark Welch came up to me and asked if I could do a guest lecture for his Psych 101 students. I said sure, and not only had the appt, but actually delivered on it the very next day!
I met about 60 young adults and had an incredible experience sharing with them what I believe about Confirmation Bias and the limitations it brings to our life. Their response was incredible. Most of them were like sponges, wanting any information that would improve the quality of their life and bring them closer to knowing who they really are (divine). It convinced me that the message and the timing are perfect and that there are many people who will respond in a positive way as I spread the gospel of self-love!
The over riding discovery we went through during the presentation was that if you know something, you can’t know anything else about that. The pictures, dots, mind gyms, etc, pointed out and re-inforced that as long as they held one thing to be true (their box) they could not easily hold anything else to be true. Before they could embrace a new truth they had to be willing to abandon their ‘known’ truth.
My second momentum step was to rough out two more modules. Christine and I spent time on the Poisonous vs Healthy Pedagogy, but I didn’t have a second one done. I had an appointment with Myrna Tuesday at Religious Science to Mind Map the presentations.
Low and behold, by the time we had refined our second mind map, we had the map for a NEW presentation that wasn’t anywhere on my list!
We’re calling it Living in a Cave, and it is the presentation that introduces the whole concept that we live our lives with filters (or plays in our Playbook) and that we have Choice in keeping them, changing them, or eliminating them all together!
