The last two posts were from incidents in my own life and it wasn't for many years later in the first case and a few years later in the second that I realized what had happened and began to formalize my picture of the implication of these two events.
In going over these incidents, along with some minor ones of a similar nature, I asked my Counselor for an opinion. Was I losing it? Did my grief constitute a self-pity? And in our discussion it was noted that both of the major changes came about after a strong and deep emotional loss. Well I can't expect and don't want deep emotional losses just to see another manifestation. What can be done perhaps rationally rather than emotionally?
At that point I remembered my training in the financial field where we were introduced to Napoleon Hill and his "Think and Grow Rich". After that by a space of some years came Oprah and her introduction of "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. Others included James Anthony Ray with his emphasis on intentions, Michael J. Losier with Neural Linquistic programming and Dr. Erich Amidi in "The Secret Behind The Secret" with the most elegant and simple description of the process itself. These were all rational approaches and no doubt had lead to success for many people including the proponents themselves.
But there were enough disappointments to throw up a caution flag.
The next time we meet I will tell you about my observations on the current attempts to create an alternate world of success in most things. In the meantime I encourage you to share your experiences and thoughts so that we all might learn how to create a brave and happy new world.
