Jeanie's Viewpoint, Page 1

michael held a workshop series in Johnson City, TN back in February 2004, it was my first exposure to this work and a grand eye opener to many areas of my life. Beginning the very next week I began facilitating a Mindshifter Support Group. We met every Tuesday night and watched videos and did worksheets - supporting each other in continuing the work of doing our own process. Although I personally have moved on and now travel with michael (who is now my wonderful husband) taking the tools to people all over the globe, the support group in JC still continues to meet.

I wrote the following summary after that first week of workshops back in 2004 but ran across it the other day going through some files and thought I would share it with our website. Enjoy with blessings, jeanie

The Sunday service was a celebration indeed! The music and meditation set the stage for the sermon, “The Coin of the Realm”. I felt the Spirit move within me and had to ask myself, “ What coin am I trading in? Have I bought into the world's way of thinking?” Being honest, I really had placed too much value in things . I do believe we are all made in the image of God and God is Love, therefore, I AM LOVE. It is the stuff we are made of! If I am not remaining in that state of being then I am not “living”. With my newly found determination to live differently I went through the week of michael's workshops and my life has truly changed. I realized that once I acknowledged the truth there was no going back and no excuses for not going forward. Responsibility hits hard and I know it will require commitment to make changes but wow what fulfillment awaits me. Michael gave us tools each night to use in this process – and it is a continual process – but the tools only work if we use them – it is up to us to do our own work.

Why Is This Happening to Me ... AGAIN?! offered the explanation for the repetitive patterns in my life. I found hope – things can be different and I am not a lost cause. Michael used the example of a tuning fork and how it resonates and causes another tuning fork to vibrate because it is on the same frequency. When I realized that I am an energy field and the same principle of nature applies to me, it was a revelation. To know that I actually am the one who creates these repetitive events. The fairy-tale of “The Rose and the Butterfly” touched me as deeply as any scientific fact. The rose and butterfly fell in love and then the butterfly flew away. When the rose uprooted itself to give chase, it caused it's own death because it made something more important in its life than staying connected to its source. I will stay connected to my Source and live. I want to live continuously in the Presence of the Love of God regardless of whatever is happening in my world. I wish to give up any other thoughts (graven images) that my mind presents as more important than experiencing Love in my physical, mental and spiritual being. Nothing else is more important.

On Creating Consciously was another eye-opener for me. I have been trying to change the effects of my life instead of the causes. That is insanity – doing the same thing and yet expecting a different result. It won't happen. Then to add to the craziness is the fact that by focusing on the effect I have actually created more of the same. I am going to change the seeds I sow because I definitely want a different crop. I am going to change MY WORLD … then I think it will spread and change other people's world as well. That is my goal anyway.

Empowered to Heal explained more fully how we are an energy system. A cell or gene can not turn itself on or off. However, our body can and will chemically reproduce in our cellular structure the frequency put out by our thoughts (mind energy). And our body does not distinguish whom the thought is about. If I truly believe another person deserves my anger or hate, I give them a carbon copy of the disintegrative energy, but I myself get the original and it will destroy my system and cause my own death. The result is not worth the negative thoughts. Neither the other person nor myself deserve that destruction. With clarity of purpose, I am holding to Truth and stepping back into being! I will take responsibility and remove disintegrative energy (sin) from my system through forgiveness (changing the realities in my mind not pardoning another person) and I will stand in Love. I have the power to clear out my temple (my body). I was created to be eternal and that is my desire.

Laws of Living embraces the fact that we are not designed to be governed by the laws of men, yet I did not fully understand the real laws….the laws our Creator established. I learned about the three filters in the mind and that my words and behavior are affected by which filter is active. Fear destroys the mind, hostility destroys the body but when the filter of love is active there is no conflict or regrets. I must raise my intents to a goal, filtered through love and then my perception of circumstances will likewise be filtered through love. Staying connected to God (Love) and living abundantly is more than possible, it is my birthright! For everyone to be in harmony with the first law – love toward God, neighbor and self – would create an ideal world – the one God intended.

Codependence to Interdependence was an awakening. I discovered how my perception of and my reaction to the person of power in my childhood have affected my past and present life. The realities in my mind have played out repeatedly throughout my life and all of my relationships have followed the same pattern. As a child I would submit, keep quiet, not express what I really felt, whatever it took to make my ‘Power Person' happy. I hated the look of disappointment, the impression of anger and the feeling of failure that happened when this person was not pleased with me. So I would suppress and deny my feelings in order to be acceptable (which I mistook for love – that was a poor substitute). I was always “doing” and not just “being”. Then resentment would grow from those packed down emotions and eventually I would rebel and discord would happen in our relationship. This first was with a parent but the same scenario happened in other relationships in my life. These situations never ended well. Now that I am aware that it is all an inside job I can move into interdependence and freedom. I have the tools and understanding to clear the “alter” (my mind) of the goals I hold and apply love and allow my unconscious to unfold the hidden things. Remove the veil of the temple (the division in the mind between conscious and unconscious). I want to do more than just survive – I want to live in the fullness of God's love and share that love in a real relationship.

On Friday night, we did a MINDSHIFTER® exercise which "is a thought about an issue in your life about which there are negative thoughts. MINDSHIFTERS® are designed to be used as a written process. When properly used they are an opportunity, through resonance, to surface, process and release the negative thoughts." My MINDSHIFTER was “The sole purpose of the universe and everyone in it is to love, nurture and support me.” I began by arguing that people only supported me when my goals were “acceptable” by their standards. I doubted this statement because even people who should have supported me (parents, family, pastors) did not – so why should the universe. I felt unworthy. I felt I had failed. I really wanted to be loved. Then from deep within came a lesson I had been taught as a child – “You are a sinner, unworthy of anything but God's wrath. Jesus died for you and you are unworthy of even that salvation. It is only by grace that it is offered to you.” I am so lacking. If I am unworthy of God's love then how can I stand a chance with the rest of the universe? I know my purpose and I am not even fulfilling that. So I accept these thoughts as true. I submit and don't argue (power person reaction). My jaw is tight and I am holding my breath – locking down. Then I recall the resonance. I am not expecting support. The universe is giving me exactly what I am asking for – nothing! What needs to happen is a mind shift. I release old realities from my mind. I will be still and listen for God to speak. He assures me it will come true….all I have to do is ask, believing.

We ended the week the next morning with Still Point Breathing. The best way I can describe this is to say it is a controlled method of breathing that opens us up and allows God (LOVE) to move through the entire system and clean out with super processing speed anything less than love that we are willing to let go of. I believe that God created man in His image (God is Love) and God breathed into man the “breath of life”. We are the very image of Love and we hold the breath of God in us. What power and yet we make light of the gift we hold. Breathing will unlock and release - just as the opposite is true - "holding the breath" will lock down anything we don't want to deal with or face. This exercise was a gentle experience of self-acceptance and deep serenity. I connected with God as never before. It was safe to feel. This was the first time I truly felt, physically and spiritually and emotionally, loved by God and that I am worthy receiving that love - I will never be the same.

This has reminded me of something a speaker (I believe he was Jewish) shared at a conference I went to a few years ago. He said in his language that God's name is not pronounceable. It is YHWH and actually sounds like a breath of air (Yah). Vowels were added later for it to become Yahweh, also translated Jehovah by the Hebrew. So, he concluded with two questions, When we are born, are we alive because we took our first breath or because we spoke God's name? When we die, is it because we take our last breath or because we quit speaking God's name?

I choose to speak God's name and breathe deeply of His Love and live in the mind of Christ and allow His breath to cleanse me of what does not belong.
