When did you commit?

[healthymind]

Well I've just been reading Steve's articles on that one way street he calls commitment to mastery. Also known as polarization. I don't agree with all of it particularly the defination concerning darkworkers....Luke I am your father...but I do know that prior to coming to this forum I had already gone through polarization.

The lifeless ordinary is not for me. I have shut the door, pushed the bolts over and blown up the entrance to the life of passive slavery.

When did this happen? It happened just two weeks ago. I had made a last ditch attempt at having a job. It lasted two weeks before I had to close the door on that one. Trading time for money is a waste of energy...and stupid.

I am now fulltime manifesting clarity about my greatest point of leverage as far as service in the world is concerned. In the beginning of this manifesting journey it was all about the "stuff". Today for no reason whatsoever the stuff suddenly had no power to move me. I had an epiphany and realised the stuff doesn't matter what matters is expression, service and knowledge of life.

What about you?

I dont know what you mean by "stuff". Do you mean material wealth?


If it's material wealth, then i disagree. I think material wealth is an essential part of being free to do whatever you want to do, and for me its a need.

But of course it is not all, it cant be all otherwise the person will end up unhappy. One has to know what he wants his greater purpose to be (either helping eradicate the hunger, helping in world peace, creating a new technology that will help humanity a lot, or whatever).

For me, my purpose will be far more achievable if i'm wealthy, so its one more reason i have to get rich.

I also believe getting rich can be an end goal, but after that you must have something bigger to achieve, or you will probably get unhappy.

Damnit healthy that sounds like a lightworker lol. Interesting mix of beliefs/idea's and principles you got.

Ive been telling people all my life that material wealth does NOTHING to me, part of me thinks that its because all my life I've been pretty much taken care off (food/water/shelter/love that sorta good stuff but not excessive by any means). I'm still on the fence about this one, it somehow can't move me. I don't feel a sudden surge of emotion if I'm thinking about a big house/car/helicopter/private jet/whatever. It just doesn't mean anything for me. Doubt it'll ever change, I dont need much...

what matters is expression, service and knowledge of life

I really like that thought, I've let it roll a bit in my mind tomorrow and than I'll get back at you.

Yes it's hard to find a pidgeon hole in which I fit. I should know been trying them all out since I got on the planet. Maybe I should have written my expression, my service and my knowledge then you'd be happy in your definition of me...no?

In any case it's an interesting and unexpected turn of events. The thing about stuff is that in the beginning it can motivate a lot of people, it even jazzed me up for a while but it doesn't satisfy the soul. Behind the desire for a top of line, shiny new scooter (irony) lies the true desire which is one for freedom. It's not the stuff it's what the stuff means to you. If you've already got connected to the reason behind the stuff then the stuff won't move you.

Now what are your thoughts?

Actually Sam I agree with you. The stuff (material wealth) was very important to me just recently. And it can be a huge motivator for many people. There are no judgements about what rings your bells, if stuff does it for you then actually you've got it easy. You'll find it very straightforward to simply focus on what you want and get it because you can define it.

You don't need a reason to be rich other than you want to. Here's to be you swimming in the cash...

Ah yes pidgeon holes, I've only been breaking free off those for the past 7 months or so. The funny part is that the entire society is SO happy to stuff you in one that sometimes you almost start to believe that 'I'm just a xxxx and nothing more'. Thats stupid from most sensible viewpoints...

Theres a truth in those words, most people misjudge there true desires big time. They want the big fat car but the underlying reason is that they think it'll get them respect and a good looking lady. Funny part is that the road to those two things can be so much shorter if you don't take a sidetrip to the car (it doesn't even gaurantee those things).

I'm planning a session tomorrow where I'm going to do something I should've done 6 months ago, carefully examining my beliefs/my goals and my true desires. I fear ugliness coming up because there are a few things that I feel I've been hiding for myself so wish me luck.

Oh and by the way, I wouldn't DARE to make a definition on you over the internet because from the looks of it thats impossible anyway.



Ps. Its odd but looking back over all my older posts, there's a trend going on...Everytime I change a part of my personality my writing style changes, gotta pay attention to that as well tomorrow.
