Uuuuh, Just One More Thing...

There's an important distinction that some people seem to be having some trouble wrapping their heads around. I've even seen an online review of Zero Limits where the reviewer didn't get it, yet was bold enough to publish his misimpressions. And here it is: taking responsibility for everything in your life, is not the same as being at fault for everything in your life.

In Self Identity Ho'oponopono, one of the central precepts is that we take 100% responsibility for everything that appears in our lives. Now, the reviewer believed that that means that ho'oponopono proposes that the War in Iraq is the practioner's fault. But that's not the case, it's not our fault, it is just our responsibility to clean it.

In other words, we are not the "perps," instead we are the ultra-cool cops who are responsible for clearing the cases. The perps are the programs we've picked up from God only knows where, that keep replaying as the problems we perceive. But we can get rid of them. We do this by apologizing for whatever is going on in ourselves that is creating the perception of the problem and then by asking for forgiveness. And that's what Ho'oponopono is about, not fault, but taking responsibility and keeping our sides of the street clean, for the benefit of ourselves and everyone else. We're cool cops working the beat of Love!

So keep using the phrases and drinking the blue solar water!

The More You Complain The Less You Obtain

Ever notice how you just keep getting more of the stuff you complain about and less of the stuff you want? The old saying the squeaky wheel gets the grease is flat out wrong and each of us knows it, the squeaky wheel just gets more to squeak about. The complaint program is an insidious one that we really must free ourselves from or we might literally spend our lives complaining and none of our lives getting what we want. Does that sound like fun? So next time something is bugging you, just love it and make friends with it in your head and that will free you and free whatever it is you were tempted to complain about. And then you'll really be free to welcome the things you truly want into your lives.

Peace of I,

Happy 4th of July!

Bless the country I love so much, and the beautiful world it is a part of! Let this Independance Day be a reminder to you that every day gives you an opportunity to establish your independance from the problems you perceive. Your freedom is just the cleaning tips away, so give em a go!

Peace of I!

Ho'oponopono and Restaurants

So today was the 1 year anniversary of my getting run over and not getting badly hurt, as you may recall I was cleaning at the time and recovered almost immediately. Thank You. Anyway, here's something fun to try with your practice of ho'oponopono: it's been my experience that whenever I am repeating any of the phrases while in a restaurant, I get offered something extra for free, either a bigger steak, or an unadvertised deal. It happened again tonight, so I want you all to give it a try and see what happens. It works for me!

Peace of I,

Phil

Reruns?

No, it's not the delightful replays of classic TV programs that are getting you down, it's the very same programs emmanating from indside you that are making the same problems come up over and over again. For some people it's weight, for some money, for others relationships. For some it's all three or more. But each time these problems crop up, it's another invitation for us to clean them once and for all, and we can do that most easily by using the cleaning tools of ho'oponopono that are outlined here and in many of my links. So, enjoy Get Smart! or The Wild, Wild West if you can find them on the remote, but don't tolerate another moment of one of your recurrent problems without using that moment to clean. The problems are 100% your's and mine, and we've got to do the cleaning.


Peace of I,

Remember to Drink Blue Solar Water

It's been almost a year since I added Blue Solar Water to my practice of ho'oponopono and beyond being part of a peace I'd never known, it's also done great things for my health. Anyway, it's simple enough to make: take a blue glass bottle, can be dark or light, add tap water, then cover it with a non-metal top and leave in the sun of under an incandescent lamp for an hour or so. It's important to have no metal involved in the bottle or the capping. So ,you can use a cork, a plate, paper, saran wrap - lots of things. Then drink, and use it any way you would use water. Also, if you want to test it and have a plant, water your plant with it and watch what happens. I've had my plant for seven years and it's never looked better.

Peace of I,

Phil

Trust

Not only is Trust a great Elvis Costello album, it's one of the aims of ho'oponopono. We need to quit thinking and worrying and just trust in God, or the divine, or Love, or whatever you want to call it. It's when we have faith and trust in ourselves and in the divine that the amazing stuff happens. Btw, the pop version of Forgive Me is done, and I hope we can share it with you soon.

Peace of I,

Phil
