A different view of life structure
Posted December 28, 2011

I’m starting to see life so differently, and a thought comes: what if it’s built not the way I used to think?
What if it’s like this:
Some piece of energy :) decides to come to express itself in this specific physical form.
I’m being physically born.
In my physical life, the streams of energy I consist of (all the flavors, nuances of it), go forward and develop, expand.
Since my physical form, my physical mind, is of some inertia,
when these streams expand, I (physical me) stop being fully compliant to them,
which forms a gap, which shows as a physical problem.
(It reminds me homeopathy principles, do you know?
They say, when a Life Force of a person has a problem, it shows out as a physical illness, which shows, which remedy (!) should be applied: it should be the remedy, created homeopathically (they have a special system), from a material, which, being given to a healthy person, will give the same symptoms, as this ill person now has. It means, each physical illness shows out, what remedy should be used for it!)
And then when I remember, that I am a vibrational being,
I know, that I should align with the expanded streams,
and the “symptoms” of the “physical problem” just give me help in applying my vibrational efforts.
And then there’s no “guilt” on my behalf,
there’re no things that I “had to do and didn’t do”,
there’s no “punishment” in these “problems”,
just a sign, that the streams moved forward,
and that now I should realign,
to have a new, expanded, enriched experience,
and in general – to become compliant again to my bigger part.
But when I don’t remember, that I’m a vibrational being,
I see these “physical problems” as physical problems!
That I should fix! That I’m guilty in arriving to!
Because if I were “better”, these things wouldn’t have happened to me!
Wow.

Revelation
by Olga and has no comments yet.
In my sleep, I just got a revelation. I was told: “In order to manifest something, you should just want to see a dream, where you live that.”
The more I think about it, the more I love it. :)
P.S. I posted it in the middle of the night to my Facebook. Good thing – otherwise in the morning I would barely remember it, but I was so reveling in it in the night, feeling how effective it is – to *just want to see a dream where I live it.” :) (I meant, in the night, in my sleep, to see such a dream. Funny language English.. in Russian we have two different words for dream one sees in their sleep and dream as desire. And in Hebrew it is, too, one word for both meanings..)
Merry Christmas :)

Earning vs. just Being Worthy

“You could be completely un-earning, but you’ll never be unworthy.
You can be completely un-earning, meaning not specifically exchanging your activity for money, and still be abundantly receiving, once you get your vibration in that place.
So it’s time to rewrite your story.
You could see yourself as a highly evolved being, who figured out how to get money without going to work.
We tell you: “Why not just turn and go with the flow?”, and you’re saying, “I’m a stay at home mom”..” ~ AH
My life and the story structure
Posted December 20, 2011

On “Writing Your Life Story” event Bashar recommended that we study story structure, in order to write our life story in such a way, that it would be believable to us, as it would match a certain archetype, “Hero’s Journey”, that we have embedded very deeply.
So starting to look at the story structure points, I’m starting to understand, what he meant. Indeed, looking at my life like this opens a lot of new doors for me, as now I can see it in a more empowered way.
Victor Frankl said, that a person can survive any challenge, if they know, what purpose it has, what goal it serves. If they know, that there’s some sense to it, some point to it.
I think, that’s the first thing that the story structure opens for me.
Here’re two I just found, very interesting:
“One good model for story structure (taught to me by Bruce Holland Rogers) is Algis Budrys’s seven point story structure. It has:
a character,
in a situation,
with a problem,
who tries repeatedly to solve his problem,
but repeatedly fails, (usually making the problem worse),
then, at the climax of the story, makes a final attempt (which might either succeed or fail, depending on the kind of story it is), after which
the result is “validated” in a way that makes it clear that what we saw was, in fact, the final result.
Another good one (taught to me by Steven Barnes) is Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey:
The hero is confronted with a challenge,
rejects it,
but then is forced (or allowed) to accept it.
He travels on the road of trials,
gathering powers and allies, and
confronts evil—only to be defeated.
This leads to a dark night of the soul, after which
the hero makes a leap of faith that allows him to
confront evil again and be victorious.
Finally, the student becomes the teacher.”
“For example, lots of stories can be thought of as the first few steps on the Hero’s Journey: a challenge, a rejection of the challenge, and then an acceptance of the challenge. The acceptance of the challenge is the climax of the story. The “validation” segment of the story should imply the rest of the Hero’s Journey. The reader should end the story knowing that there will be a road of trials, that evil will be confronted, and so on.
Lots of other stories can be thought of as just the dark night of the soul and the leap of faith. The early steps along the hero’s journey can be filled in with flashbacks or simply implied by the circumstances of the characters as the story begins. However it happens, the reader needs to learn that the hero accepted the challenge, confronted evil, and was defeated. The story ends with the reader knowing that the hero will face evil again and this time be victorious.”
“Geoffrey A. Landis had a pretty good description of the essential core of a short story. A story needs to:
Require the character to make a choice,
show that choice by actions, and
those actions must have consequences.
That’s bare-bones enough that you really can’t leave any of those elements out. It isn’t good enough for the character to make a choice that isn’t required by the story. It isn’t good enough to have the character make a choice that is entirely in his head with no resulting actions. It isn’t good enough for the character to make a choice where the result is that everything is the same as it would have been anyway.”
Philip Brewer, Story Structure in Short Stories
How interesting! It’s like, I’m reading about my life. Starting to understand it better. Seeing it more as exciting, intriguing, interesting, worth to live, valuable, having sense.
Or this:
“Classic story structure begins with plot; plot is WHAT HAPPENS.”
“A theme — your message or meaning — is revealed through plot.”
“plots that work:
Action
Background
Conflict
Development
End”
“Development usually accounts for 70 to 80 percent of the mass of the story.” (and you’re waiting for the manifestation, like me? :))
“But you must offer your readers a definite resolution to the story’s Conflict.”
“When the Conflict of a story has been resolved, what’s left? The Consequences of that story. How have your protagonist and his world changed — or stubbornly refused to change — as a result of the story? The French call this part of the story the ‘denouement’ or ‘unraveling.’ At the end of Dickens’s ‘A Christmas Carol,’ Scrooge shows us that he’s changed. How? By climbing out of bed, throwing open his window and asking an urchin on the street below what day it is. When he learns that it’s Christmas, Scrooge instructs the boy to buy the biggest turkey in the butcher’s window for Tiny Tim’s family. When the boy returns, Scrooge pays him, laughing while he hands the money over. That’s right — Scrooge laughs while paying for something! He has changed! It’s a textbook denouement.”
“But if it doesn’t have Conflict, Development, and Climax, it isn’t a story. If you don’t believe that, just try to tell a satisfying anecdote that lacks these components. Or tell a joke that lacks classic story structure, and see if anyone laughs.”
“Of course, you aren’t required to use this structure in telling stories. But if you do, however, your stories, novellas and novels will work. That is, when people are done reading one of your pieces of fiction, they will feel as if they’ve been told a story. Not a ‘character sketch,’ but a real story.”
Adam Sexton, Classic Story Structure Begins with Plot
“Once upon a time, there was a thirsty man on a couch. He got up off the couch, went to his kitchen, searched through his refrigerator, found a soda, drank it, and returned to his couch, thirst quenched.
That was “perfect story structure.” On the other hand, the story sucked.
Here’s a converse example:
Once upon a time, a car exploded. A Navy Seal killed a werewolf. Two beautiful naked women had sex with each other, then a robot shot the moon with a Jesus-powered laser. The world became overpopulated by zombies. The End.
Lot of exciting, creative stuff happening, but very little structure. Again, boo, but the lesbian scene did give me a boner.
What do you want? You want both. You want to be cool, but you’re going to be cooler if the structure is there. Cool stuff with no structure is like that perfect scene you recorded when you left the lens cap on. “Guess you had to be there.” Show me an army of zombies and I might say “cool zombies,” but I’m not going to “be there.” “
That’s exactly what Bashar was saying: when we’re trying to rewrite the scenario of our life, but do not do it with the story structure, we’re “not there”.
Then I started thinking, but if I’m expecting that I get something through troubles, okay, “journey”, then it will surely come through troubles, won’t it?.. And maybe I could expect it easier?
Then I found, that I can say, that I’m already on a stage, where the development is close to its end, all the “bad stuff” is already in the past, and now I can expect good things. This matches the way AH tell it, by the way: that step one is actually behind me (as is step 2), and now I can just align with my Vortex and get the good stuff. That made me feel good. :)
“And what are those steps? Class?
1) You
2) Need
3) Go
4) Search
5) Find
6) Take
7) Return
8) Change”

What an interesting thing life is.. Thank you, Bashar, for showing me this angle. :)

I opened for myself this new coaching format..
by Olga and has no comments yet.
..and found it excitingly useful:
we define “session” as two days of emails, back and forth, with my questions, client’s questions, my exercises, client’s results, summary. It gives both me and my client the time to do our vibrational ..play :) in a subtle, yet more thorough and expansive way.
If you wish to try it with me, contact me.
A revelation
Posted December 18, 2011

I just connected the dots.. or the dots were connected in me and for me. :)
1. From yesterday’s post: “because in most cases the basic concept of mentoring says:
“I know something, that would be good for you,
that you haven’t figured out,
so you’re flawed in this way.””
2. From AH LIVE Dec 10, when we deem something as wrong, even if we don’t do that (!), it is detrimental to us, this resistance. (In the LIVE they spoke about vaccinations, and AH said this: if you deem them wrong, no matter if you do them or not, it’s still detrimental to you!).
3. All the comparisons I got these days:
“when you feel jealous, you diminish yourself” ~ AH
“when you don’t respect your choices, you don’t respect yourself” ~ Bashar
etc.
4. My all-the-time feeling, that something is not quite home, when I’m thinking of my coaching clients (or any people that don’t know anything about energies) as operating .. like blind kitties, they don’t know where they move, what they do, how to go for what they want, they come to funny conclusions, trying blindly to find their way to what they want.. without a map, without seeing clearly. I feel such a shame now, when I realize this.. I want to apologize to my clients and all the people I perceived this way.
But I’ve always been thinking, “but it’s true! How can I see it any other way? They do lack this knowledge!” (Again this trap of “truth” instead of “what is it that I do want?”, even though then it became “I want them to know it! I want them to operate with open eyes!”.. Now I see, it could be “what I do want, is to feel good when looking at them, interacting with them, thinking about them, speaking to them. What would it be, that would give me this feeling good?” Probably the first thought, the relief, would be “Maybe it’s not THAT bad, that they don’t know?..”)
And now I realized:
1. Whatever I’m doing, MY deeming it wrong, that they don’t know, is detrimental and diminishing to me. I’m suppressing, judging, not letting live fully, something in ME, when I’m judging it as wrong in them, in their life.
2. I can see it as a bigger picture: that ultimately it was their choice to live these challenges in this way. And that ultimately everyone is fine, and in this moment they’re living what they intended to live. I can offer them my understanding of the situation, if they wish to hear it, but it’s not wrong, where they are, and it won’t be better when they know what I tell them. There’s no hierarchy. There’s just life.
How freeing. :)
P.S. The video the 2nd paragraph reminded me of:
(“Bashar – Ultimately Everyone is Just Fine”: video)
By the way:
“it’s how you use it.
And that’s why we simply say, circumstances don’t matter – not to discount them,
but to let you know it’s what meaning you decide to give them,
that determines, what effect you can extract from them.” ~ Bashar
