When you begin to understandLaw of Attraction, and you understand that which is like unto

itself is drawn, then it is easier and easier to understand that you are offering a signal, and the

entire Universe responds. And when you finally get that, and you begin to exercise somedeliberate control about the signal that you offer, then it really begins to be fun, because then you

recognize that nothing happens outside of your creative control. There are no things that happen

by chance or by circumstance. There is nothing that is happening because of something you

vibrated a long time ago or in a past life. It is not about what you were born into. It is only aboutwhat you are, right now, in this red hot fresh moment emitting. --- AbrahamExcerpted from the workshop in Seattle, WA on Saturday, June 20th, 1998

Thank you for attending this meeting today!I invite you to learn, to open yourself to

possibilities, grow, explore and share!

3/10



It is only when we have the courage to face things exactly as they are without any self-deception or illusion that a light will develop out of events by which the path to successmay be recognized

When will you face the truth?

What will be possible when you do?

There is something that you have to know about

The Shadow is everything that we dont want others to see

The only time you dont have a shadow is when youre standing in darkness

The Shadow shows up in many different ways

The Shadow is made up of the thoughts, emotions and impulses we find too painful toaccept

All of us are being affected by the collective shadow

The Collective Shadow manifest as evil, as war, terrorism, social injustice etc

Each and every one of us is the CAPTAIN

Dont be the captain who just goes downstairs to sleep

If you havent met yourself (the inside), youre going to be in a lot of trouble

The birth of our shadow occurs when we are very young

When we suppress, we are living in denial of all of who we are. We try with all our might

to pretend that we are not that which we hate

The wounded ego hides all that we believe is unacceptable about ourselves

We create personas so that we belong

Many of us have a private and a public life

Our mask takes many forms. Our mask become our prison


4/10



When we deny ourselves a safe outlet to express our darkside, it builds up and becomesa powerful force, capable of destroying our lives as well as the lives of others

Everything we reject, we keep beneath our consciousness

When you dont deal with the shadow, that part comes out, creeping up in theworkplace, at home, in relationships..etc

The more we try to repress, the more it intensifies, and finds interesting andmischievous ways to show up

Things have to come out in order to be released

Either youre going to use it or its going to use you

All experience is a result of contrast, light and dark, pleasure and pain, up and downinorder to have manifestation you have to have opposing energy

To have a shadow is normal

We are the microcosm and the macrocosm

Every quality that we can see in another exists within us

Active or dormant, we possess every conceivable human emotion, conscious orsubconscious

We are everything

How could we know courage if we have never known fear

Afraid of our unworthiness, while simultaneously afraid of our own greatness, weunconsciously transfer these qualities to another instead of owning them ourselves

Those we project our own pieces of our unclaimed darkness as well as pieces of ourunclaimed light

What we cant be with wont let us be

When we are pointing, there are 3 fingers pointing back at you

What we judge in others is a disowned part of ourselves

Projecting creates a vicious circle

The ego is all about survival - reactive and mechanical, wanting to defend and react

When you react to a projection, you become the projection


5/10



Express and let it go

The shadow is the person wed rather not be

We must deal with the shadow

What you resist persist

If you dont deal with your shadow, it will deal with you

The cost of ignoring a destructive pattern is self destruction

Recognize and express any kind of pain- without expressing it stays with us, causing usto react

Unresolved issues have a direct correlation with our physical bodies, health, wealth andwellness

Be mindful with every thought, every single day

We are the source of everything within us

Be grateful for whoever comes because each has been sent as a guide from beyond

Pretty soon, we run out of places to hide

Man should discover his own reality

If we reject our own reality, the self will war against us

Repressing our shadows can lead to destructive behavior

We have to resolve undigested stress

The light of Awareness begins the transformation process

We all go through trauma

There is gold to be mined in every experience

Experiences help us to be who we are

What doesnt kill us makes us stronger

At a certain point in our lives we must decide, what am I going to do with myexperiences

The gold we seek is hidden within the dark

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture,

still, treat each guest honorably.He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

meet them at the door laughing,

and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

~ Rumi ~

We all have a divine recipe, whats yours?

Address issues so you can get to your true authentic self

The Spirit never dies

If I survive today, then tomorrow Ill be free

Embrace who you are authentically, not being ashamedtheres nothing to be ashamed

When we embrace our totality, we experience freedom

We are here to give and to receive LOVE

If you dont embrace your darkness, you cant embrace your light

As we move through our shadows, we can reclaim our light

Our outer shell protects us from the world, our real treasure is hidden within

We unconsciously hide our inner gold and to uncover our gold we need to have thecourage to chip away at our outer shellpiece by piece

You cant fight darkness with darkness. You can always switch on the light

I forgive myself. You are forgiven

Use the pain or your past to be the greatest expression of who you are today

Shame can devastate our sense of self

The greatest gift of forgiveness is that we free ourselves

Forgiveness doesnt happen in your head until it happens in your heart

Work full time on self forgiveness

Forgiveness is the hallway between the past and the future

Accept the energy of love

We are the total being of love

Everything in life is an opportunity for growth

If you want authentic piece of mind, then understand your shadow and be ok with it

We are as precious as 1,000,000 pounds of gold

Our brightest light can shine only when weve accepted our darkness

There is wisdom in every wound

There is a greater future waiting for you

Life is a magical journey of making peace with humanity and divinity

I matter

We are more than we ever dreamed possible

There is no one in the world like you

What if you knew that in every cell of your body, you were living a divine plan soimportant, so vital for the evolution of humankind

Everything that is happening right now, that doesnt fit your ego ideas, ishappening to support you in stepping out of the smallness of your darkestthoughts and into the brilliance of your biggest dreams


9/10



Our Deepest Fear

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 does not serve the world.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that

other people won't feel insecure around you.We are all meant to shine, as children do.

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 own 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.

~Marianne Williamson
