A Spiritual Approach To Goals
This topic is something that at the beginning of my journey I wish I had in an organized manner. My purpose here is to give the basic mechanics on how goals are approached from the standpoint of The Freedom Course.
Now that the course is updated with a skill-based approach and in reviewing the goals I have achieved along with the goals accomplished by others, I believe I can talk about this topic in a concise but general form. The one thing I will say is that this topic might rub some the wrong way as it will require a lot of personal responsibility to apply the things I will talk about.
In fact, Sammy and I often talk about how these tools and information gets compounded immensely by taking full responsibility so this post serves just as things to consider on your way to accomplish something.
Following the theme of this post:
A Practical Approach To Spiritual Development
This topic is a bit of an inverse of that because I will take something that is often seen as physically dependent to experience goals.
Let’s Begin…
Varible#1: Knowing what you want and why
Most of our goals are created from some sort of contrast, for example:
In experiencing financial pressure, you immediately think of the contrast which would be financial comfort or even financial freedom.
In experiencing loneliness, you begin to wonder what it would be like to be in a relationship with someone that is ideal for you.
But the unfortunate truth is that not all your goals are actually yours but influenced by your surroundings/environment. After some time, you convince yourself that whatever you earnestly desire is really what you wish to accomplish and when goals are achieved from this standpoint you find that they are short-lived and lackluster once you are experiencing them.
The hardest part in between all this is facing the truth about whatever goal you’re focused on.
If suddenly you were at peace, satisfied, fulfilled in all your entirety would you still go for this goal? Or is the goal your idea on how to get satisfaction and fulfillment?
If you stripped all desire from the goal would you still go for it just for the simple fact that it seems like a fun endeavor?
If you could switch the feeling of wanting the goal to immediately have the feeling that you truly do have it, would you continue to go for it?
We might get tempted to become philosophical about these questions and say that if you have total spiritual satisfaction you would want for nothing and often this comment comes with the assumption that beings that have to reach those states do absolutely nothing. They create less until they create nothing at all but from the standpoint of already having that which they intend. Lack of desire does not equate to a lack of action and experience.
So to go back to a practical standpoint, it would be wise to find a method where you would be able to let go of all needs for your goals. Either a releasing method or some type of subconscious submodality rewriting, you should have objective results that can be measured with a bit of journaling. A goal will go from “I NEED IT!” to “cool… this is fun” in a bit of blase form.
I can promise you that the ones that survive that trial will indeed be worthwhile and fun to experience. From a personal standpoint, every goal I have achieved in the past year has gone through this “trial by fire” whether financial, physical, or psychic.
The main difference I can say is that you can maintain your peace and happiness throughout the process versus seeking peace and happiness at the end of achieving any goal.
Variable#2: Having it before having it so that you can have it
Tongue twister, I know.
Here’s the logic behind this variable, Wanting and Having are both just feelings. Both are subtle in their own right but feelings nonetheless.
The questions always come: “How can I have something if I don’t have it yet?”
Begin to truly consider that both wanting and having are feelings. Consider that the brain doesn’t know the difference between something you imagine and something you experience in physical reality, one of the most famous studies to exemplify this here
So if you can train yourself to both think and most importantly feel as if you have something already there will be very obvious and direct effects on your mental pattern which leads to different actions.
The easiest way to do this is to first clear the goal from all desire and immediately create the state of “havingness” for it. This requires mental focus and a bit of time, on average 3-5 days, if your goal is clear you would basically sit down, and with your eyes closed you would hold the feeling of having the goal for a prolonged time. I would say 30 minutes is what has done the most obvious post-session effect.
“Oh but that’s just the law of attraction”, whatever you want to call it or any explanation you might have doesn’t really allow for the results to come to be so I personally ignore all explanations other than this:
In holding the imagining of your goal as already here and now, highly recommend you think of the end result and not try to manipulate how it’s supposed to happen, you make a conscious imprint on the mind so powerful that then the subconscious submodalities (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) follows along and you believe it’s truly something you have.
In effect, you begin to think and act on the goal completely differently. I recommend you do this daily depending on how much the goal means to you.
Variable#3: There are no arm-chair manifestations (at least not common)
Now for the tough pill to swallow…
You must take action to basically bring down heaven to earth, sort of speak. You must meet your intention halfway.
The main piece of advice, I can give for this is to break down your actions in two ways:
- What’s the next logical step?
Often we have our judgment on what we should do which ignores the most logical thing that should be next. If you take a moment to really find out what’s next, it will be simple and often non-emotional. You might not think it’s a big enough action but do it anyhow with the consciousness that momentum builds upon itself a philosophy on action taken that I find very useful is Kaizen Mindset. If you deem that you must take actions bigger than you actually should, you’ll just be piling up things that will create a big emotional charge that will result in more things to work on.
- Treat actions the same way as thoughts/feelings
Something that you can work on from an emotional standpoint and convert to a more optimal version.
Of course, coming from a “releasing” background the way I treat the actions I have to take is that I release on them to make them as neutral as possible and take the opportunity to add fun or enthusiasm onto them. Worst case scenario, for something you truly do not want to do, you’ll be able to make them neutral.
Organizing everything:
-
Choose what you wish to accomplish wisely and from a standpoint of balance, meaning do not look for the happiness at the end of the goal but be able to start happy and continue it from there. Having a method to work the emotional and mental concepts of the goal will save you a lot of time.
-
You can convert all your goals and actions to their highest peak necessary to ease the process and impress the best possible state onto the mind.
-
Actions are necessary so use your tools as needed to help this part.
Where do fields fall into all this?
Everywhere.
FIelds by Dream/Captain Nemo is like getting on a quantum catapult, saving yourself a lot of time and effort.
Example:
Using something like Cone of Power to set your intention, Torsion field to bring in the best source of energy for your intention, and Plasma Light to communicate and expand your intention will save you a lot of time.
This is just one example there are those that have made the effort to buy NFTs that will help a specific part of this process or the whole thing. One that comes to mind is the Rainmaker Redux, being the strongest intention setter I’ve felt yet.
It’s your job to explore your options and create your experiments but have the main mechanics of the goal accomplishment in mind and see how they will help.
Mind is the creative counterpart, Love fuels the creation, and the body portrays it.
That said a little gift from the Freedom Course - Save State series.
The Focus Field
This is to attempt to help your ability to focus, works really well in conjunction with the mental mandala recently released in the Sapien Medicine Instagram.
To use:
Open the picture and say “Install Focus”
Eyes closed are best and let the process take you.
Test:
You can say “Focus” to get into a state of silent mind and pay attention to feelings or hold specific thoughts easier.
Enjoy
Action can be super fun. I’m just raising the question when I see a statement like “There are no arm-chair manifestations (at least not common)”
We have to earn that wisdom through experiences. I have had similar doubt in my past and understood why LOA doesn’t work for many. The Universe is very intelligent. There is no bypassing to the laws of universe. But when Universe gifts us tools our way, we can make use of them without bypassing our Karma. So,Just my opinion for your question. !
Greetings to you friend.!!
That’s been greater struggle of my life …!
