I AM Undisturbed! Agree with your adversary quickly. Agree that the adverse situation is good, be undisturbed by it, and it falls away of its own weight. None of these things move me. Bless your adversary and you take away all ammunition. The arrows will be transformed by the blessing. There is an old saying that man only dare use his words for three purposes: to heal, bless or prosper. When you face a situation fearlessly, then there is no situation to face; it falls away of its own weight. The explanation is that fear attracts all that we resist and push against, i.e. do not want. War mentality is based on "lack consciousness," which ignites fear. This of course is what we have the inner power to manage throughout the world, within our homes and our places of work. Thus, invisible forces are ever working for each of us, "pulling our own strings," whether or not we realize it, or take ownership. Owning to the vibratory power of words, attitudes and fear (False Evidence Appearing Real), whatever you voice / think / believe, you begin to attract. Research indicates that an "old-fashioned chat" equates to about five hundred to a thousand destructive words, the principal topics being loss, lack, failure and sickness. Many will often say: "I don't want to be a door-mat." When you use nonresistance with wisdom, no one will ever be able to walk over you. So long as you resist a situation, you will have it with you. If you run away from it, it will run after you! This is what you have spiritual muscle for. You must use it to strengthen it! There is no peace for me, until there is peace for you. What you can say instead: The long arm of God reaches out over people and conditions controlling this situation, protecting my interests. I am undisturbed. Peace be mine. I Am at Peace. I was really moved by an interview John Stewart did Monday night on The Daily Show with Matthew Alexander, author of "How to Break A Terrorist" - a book about an "Air Force investigator turned interrogator." Alexander was trained in the post-Abu Ghraib interrogation techniques that replace "fear and control" with "respect, rapport, hope and laughter" to obtain information. Alexander stated that using old methods of terrorizing prisoners for information would set back their ability to retrieve valuable information for weeks, if not months. However, when they used the humane approach, they were given pertinent information in time to make a difference. He tells of a story where one of his prisoner's first words to him were that if he had a knife he would cut Alexander's throat. He began his interrogation of this man by apologizing for the mistakes the United States had made. The prisoner started to trust Alexander as a person, and within a short amount of time gave him the information that ended up eliminating a key terrorist leader. The reason that I'm bringing you this information today is twofold: First, and I cannot emphasize this enough: old-worn out authoritarian models of shame, disappointment, extreme harsh consequences, yelling and threatening - set individuals of all ages backward. If a humane approach works in extreme situations, i.e., terrorists, it will most certainly resolve any conceivable issue you have with problematic behaviors and struggle we face at home, work and within our communities. If you really want to propel challenging individuals forward into their "best" selves, you must connect with compassion and positive affirmative, directive attention no matter how blatantly awful their behavior choices have been. It's why I wrote my two Make A Difference gift books and am giving it to you to read for free at: makeadifference.com/GiftBook on Compassion and makeadifference.com/FlashBook on Connection. I am certain, once you read them online, you will want to provide copies for every significant person in your inner and outer circles. Please note: I'm discounting them 70% This Week Only - ENDs Friday December 12 - or as long as supplies last. Second, if you have any plans to recognize co-workers, children, educators, parents and supportive staff by acknowledging them with a "Who I Am Makes A Difference" Blue Ribbon or " I Make A Difference" Purple Wristband, you will need to get your order in ASAP... as, after this week, we will not be able to guarantee their arrival in time for your holiday parties and / or events. It is the Power of Acknowledgment is what actually will keep people safe. Even if the backlash reaction is angry, give peace and acknowledgment a chance to sink in and do it's amazing healing work. Think of it this way: when you have a cut and you put the pain relieving salve on it, it doesn't work immediately ... but it does begin it's healing relieving within a short amount of time.
Please take a break to watch it to the end... it's got the kind of message that creates an immediate shift in perception, because it's got a "hit you in the heart" reminder of what's really important. The holiday season can be a lonely time for people you may not even suspect may be very depressed and feeling like they don't matter at all. And now, here's a Holiday Thank You from Helice "Sparky" Bridges, Who I Am Makes A Difference:
