Details, Details

Here's a detail shot of a US penny. These are not the kind of details that are holding any of us back. When we want something, we often start coming up with all of the details that could possibly prevent us from getting what we want, what about my age? What about the way I look? You know the drill. When I or my friends do this I call it "extenuating" that's the process of coming up with extenuating circumstances to block our ways to the things we want. So what I want to try to do, and I want all of you to try, is next time you want something think of a dozen reasons why instead of why not. Because the why not's sound like part of your order when you focus, and believe me you will get what you focus on. So, anyway, be good to yourself and respect the things you want, think of why and not why not. God bless you.

Peace of I,

Cause and Effect or Effect and Cause?

Okay, we've talked about cleaning on specific problems before and ways to go about it. But did you ever think that since it's all really going on inside you that your stress is creating the problems that you think are outside you giving you stress? I know it's a little counter intuitive for those of us brought up on cause then effect or stimulus and then reaction models, but I think there's really something to it. So, for right now, I'm just cleaning on stress instead of the things that I had thought were creating that in me. If it make sense to you, too, give it a try. I'll let you know how I progress.

Peace of I!

"Now Where'd The Tools Go?"

Okay, you might notice some posts missing from the blog going forward. Apparently the common every day items and phrases that can be used as cleaning tools in Ho'oponopono, are coyrighted for that purpose. I had no idea that they either were or could be. And I'm sorry that I shared them with the interested. Going forward I will only write about my inspirations and observations of our shared human condition. I hope they are some help to anyone who's come here looking for it.

In Zero Limits, Dr. Hew Len alludes to the fact that no one should teach Ho'oponopono, unless they are inspired to. You tell me. Was I inspired to?

Peace,

Ho'oponopono and Chuck

I don't know if you've seen NBC's delightful spy show called "Chuck," but if you watch it, you almost immediately see a continuously dramatized metaphor for one of the central truths of ho'oponopono. In ho'oponopono we believe that we have two choices: to live by memories replaying in our subconsciuos and presenting themselves as the same crap over and over in reatlity, or to live by inspiration where the memories have been freed and anything is possible.

Now, on Chuck, Chuck is a sort of geeky underachiever who got kicked out of Stanford, but through the actions of a friend who became a spy, is exposed to a super intelligent program called "The Intersect" that imprints itself on his brain and is able to give him life saving warnings and, now, instructions, when he is calm enough to accept them. What does that sound like? What's more, he can't use it when he is emotional and living by memories.

So, enjoy Chuck on NBC. It's on again in its usual spot, Monday's at 8pm starting tomorrow. But as you're enjoying it remember, we all have an Intersect inside of us, but we call it inspiration and it is far more advanced in its intelligence than Chuck's, because it comes from divinity.

Keep cleaning!

POI,

Happy New Year!

I wish each and every one of you the most wonderful and love-filled new years. Let this finally be the year that we all stop living by memories and starting living by inspirations. Keep cleaning and God bless you!


Peace of I,

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

I hope by now, you see a ho'oponopono view of the nativity story and the immaculate conception. I hope, also that you can see one in A Christmas Carol. As we learn from the story, Scrooge was a young man who lost his way, and went from living by Love, to living to and constantly replaying and responding to painful memories. Then, through the invervention of divinity, he is walked through what was, what he started to project and would continue to project if he didn't get back on the side of Love. Thankfully and joyfully, the old meiser apologized, sought and received forgiveness, and was not only able to live by Love again, but his love saved a little boy, and he became the most beloved man in his town.

I hope all of our apologies are met with the same forgiveness, and we all always live from Love.

Merry Christmas, and God Bless You!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! As we have our annual spooky fun, let's remember that practicing ho'oponopono gives us the chance to drop our daily masks of memories replaying and reveal our real selves. Happy Haunting and even more gratifying cleaning!

Peace of I,

Phil
