Do you ever have that back and forth feeling of repeating patterns?  One of the patterns many people have feels a lot like a see-saw or a pendulum.

For instance, let’s say you have an experience with a loved one where they disappoint you. The first thought you might have is: “they’re bad, wrong, out of integrity, unloving, inexcusable” or some such thought.  That’s the attack thought projected outward.

Then, the next thought we have is the boomerang coming back and we think “I must be bad, wrong, unworthy, unlovable, inappropriate.”  That’s the effect, caused by our attack thought.

First we attack, and then we feel attacked.  That’s how it works.  This is why it’s so valuable to pay attention and interrupt the attack thought before it manifests as self-attack.

When there’s an attack thought then there’s a lack thought and they bounce back and forth until we have a change of mind.

When we change our mind, we interrupt the pattern and we open ourselves to the flow of Love and Prosperity.

The belief in lack actually proceeds the attack thought, but sometimes we notice the attack thought first and then the lack thought afterwards. We each have our own unique way of experiencing this particularly pervasive pattern of dysfunction and suffering.

It doesn’t matter which thought, lack or attack, comes first.
If we believe in lack, then we’ll feel attacked.
We’ll feel unworthy.
If we feel attacked then we’re justified in attacking back.
If we attack others then we feel guilty and ashamed. We feel a lack of Love.
And so it goes: the hamster wheel of misery.

What matters is HOW TO GET OFF the wheel.
We have the power to get off that wheel of misery.
Willingness to listen to the Divine Guidance is the key to getting out of the pattern. It makes our healing SO MUCH faster. It’s hard to comprehend how much healing we can have when we’re willing to be miracle minded!

Interrupting the patterns again and again, rather than just going along with them, is how we train ourselves to have a new experience rather than repeat the same thing again and again.

You can say to yourself:

I’m not interested in that old pattern anymore!
That’s not my way anymore. I’m done with that old way of lack and attack!

I’m interested in Love, Prosperity, Wholeness, Freedom and living abundantly!

We replace the old thought with the new thought and we’re on our way to a new experience of Love and Prosperity! It may sound too simple to work, but changing our mind is the only way I know to effectively change our experience.

Power of Love In-Person Retreat Memorial Day Weekend in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina!  May 23 to 26.

Join me NEXT Saturday, May 17 for a WORKSHOP Why Can’t I Be Happy?  

My May Deep Dive Workshop topic is Why Can’t I Be Happy?   Joy is our natural state, yet, I’ve talked with countless spiritual students who have been on this path for decades who struggle because they can’t seem to find a true happiness, a fundamental Joy.  In my experience, when we truly live the teachings of A Course in Miracles then Peace is revealed, and happiness is its constant companion.  In this workshop I’ll share tips and tools that really work increase your happiness immediately.  We don’t have to wait until the world lines up the way we’d like it to in order to experience more happiness.  Our happiness does not come from the world and it never will.  Click now to register.

LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Your Inheritance From God. There’s often a confusion about our relationship to God, and with our inheritence from our Creator. In this week’s episode, I share the essence of our relationship with God and how we can use that awareness to improve our lives and let go of unworthiness.  Let’s forget these crazy ideas about unworthiness and claim our inheritance.
