Well, here it is again. A
new year and as I look back on the old year I am amazed at the change
in my consciousness. It’s like life has come at me hard and fast
and I actually recognized some of my lessons and feel that I actually
learned some of the ones I recognized. Just recognizing them means
that I have the opportunity to learn them in 2008! WOW! What a concept!
Now I am really excited! Knowing that my consciousness is expanding
and I am growing spiritually makes me want to push even harder.
That’s enough about Herb so let’s turn to you. Have you been
so lucky to actually recognize your lessons and know what they are? Whether
or not you have, you need to get a journal and start writing down every
time you are a witness or a party to a confrontation. (That’s something
that humans can do that cats haven’t mastered yet, that writing
thing.) A perfect example of this is a couple of homeless guys that came
to live outside in my yard. A perfectly genteel and well-mannered vagabond
cat took up residence in the abandoned dog house out back. My people
started feeding him & he felt at home, but as soon as the new neighbor,
a dog moved in he started hissing, got his back up and finally allowed
the new neighbor to give him such a charge he moved out of the neighborhood.
There was a real pay off for the new dog too. He got to get his adrenalin
up, chasing and barking and intimidating the cat. I got my adrenalin
up just watching them! When people confront someone, there is a charge
of adrenalin surging through their body.

Remember that the movie “What The
Bleep Do We Know” taught us that confrontation happens because
of our addiction to the drugs our bodies make when we challenge or
are challenged by others. We learned that we draw these people and
situations to us. By recording them in your journal, you can start
looking for a pattern. You see what you need to change about yourself
and learn what you judge. Nothing happens by accident. The family member
who irritates you (we all have one), or the person on your job who
constantly aggravates you can be stopped, by you changing your consciousness.
Make notes about what you need to work on and strive to stop reacting
to other’s challenges. When you are no longer upset, they no
longer get their charge, and they go looking for someone else to give
them their fix and you are free of them! Imagine a pleasant family
get-to-gather and you have a good time? What a concept! That should
be your new years resolution; to stop the adrenalin flows from confrontations.
Watch out, because you will have to get used to being happy all the
time.
