'Busting Loose' and shifting reality
Column: Unclutter Your Life
First there was a furor of excitement about "The Secret"; now there's a furor to discredit it. I think what stirred some people up was they wanted the "magic word" that would immediately shift power over their reality. When that didn't happen ...
Explanation of how reality works and how to shift it can be found in Robert Scheinfeld's book "Busting Loose from The Money Game." Though the draw is the word "money," this book is about the game of Reality. It isn't material easily digested in a hurry, much less integrated immediately. I'm rereading it now. Criticisms have been made about this book similar to what "The Secret" is now receiving. The Roman Rule: The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing.
Rereading Bob's book caused me to consider the times I've manifested things into my life with a thought such as "Time to get more novels." One hour later, I went into the laundry room and found the table filled with books. I hauled 45 novels back to my apartment. Beliefs about how we're supposed to acquire things in life might include "You have to work hard for what you get" or "You have to deserve things, and someone external to you has to stipulate you are deserving." Did I feel badly that I didn't work hard to get those books, pay for them or in some way put forth a lot of energy to get them, aside from selecting them and carrying them upstairs? No. Did the manner in which I got them defy the rules of the game of Reality? Yes.
The way the quantum field works, there is no difference in having a thought about more books and thinking, "Time to get $100,000." Really, there isn't. The only difference is any beliefs held about that. What would shift for us if we began to think of money as a means to measure our beliefs about it? How is this different from any belief and result? There's more to understand about this, which Bob covers in the book. Some who read Bob's book will resist it or find it quite difficult to digest. It's worth reading if you're truly ready to live outside the box. At least allow yourself to ask, "What if he's right?"
Nelson Mandela was correct when he said:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God; your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
The question is: Are you ready to discover what you're capable of?
