WE HUMANS TEND TO LIVE IN THE MOMENT. It is the animal part of our nature. We respond first and foremost to what we see and hear, to what is most dramatic in an event. But we are not merely animals tied to the present. Human reality encompasses the past — every event is connected to something that happened before in an endless chain of historical causation. Any present problem has deep roots in the past. It also encompasses the future. Whatever we do has consequences that stretch far into the years to come.

When we limit our thinking to what our senses provide, to what is immediate, we descend to the pure animal level in which our reasoning powers are neutralised. We are no longer aware of why or how things come about. We imagine that some successful scheme that has lasted a few months can only get better.

SEVEN therapeautic tonics to loftily LOCATE your LIFE’s BASIC BEARING:

1. BARELY do we give thought to the possible consequences of anything we set in motion. We often react to what is given in the moment, based on only a small piece of the puzzle.
2. ESSENTIALLY, our actions then lead to unintended consequences, or even to disasters. To complicate matters, we are in the midst of people who are continually in the reactive mode.
3. ALL over we find ourselves surrounded by salesmen and demagogues who play on this weakness in human nature to con us with the prospect of easy gains and instant gratification.
4. REALLY focused on ACTUALIZING our POTENTIALS, our only antidote is to train ourselves to continually detach from the immediate rush of events and elevate our perspective.
5. INSTEAD of merely reacting, we step back and look at the wider context. We consider the various possible ramifications of any action we take. This is being a far-sighted human.
6. NOW, we keep in mind our long-term goals. Often, in raising our perspective, we will decide that it is better to do nothing, to not react, and to let time go by and see what it reveals.
7. GIVEN that, such sanity and balance do not come naturally, they need to be cultivated. They are powers we acquire through great effort, and they represent the height of human wisdom.

#20. To the extent I desire to handle my undoing personal ORIENTATION,
How should I IMMERSE in the process of identifying my FEELINGS?

Identifying your orientations is the first step to a rich and healthy emotional LIFE.
Catch your daydreams, hold the thoughts, bring them up into your conscious mind.
This will tell you about yourself, what you love and hate, and your relationships.
If you possibly can, keep a written diary or record of these for a month or two.
This will help you to organise, experience and understand your thought patterns.
This will then bring your orientations into a higher level of awareness within you.
You will eventually begin to see important patterns in your feeling and thinking.

#20. I, ___________________________, dedicated to curb my undoing personal ORIENTATION, do DECISIVELY DECLARE that, I will synchronise what I say and do with what I feel. I will stop going through many situations telling myself that “it does not really matter” or “it is not important enough to argue about”, basically buying peace by agreeing to something that deep down I do not agree with. I may find myself feeling unhappy, disgruntled, and angry with the individual involved. This type of situation creates tensions and unhappiness in my relationships. Buying peace at any price creates negative feelings within me. I will identify those situations where I have created depressing feelings within myself by agreeing to something that makes me not to really agree with. I will write them down. This will be difficult for me, as I have been in difficulty saying no, or have been too anxious to please others. But the feelings generated by these situations are very important when dealing with my emotional LIFE. Many times I need to excuse things and just overlook them. That is normal in life. But I may apply this to situations that affect me deeply. It is these situations I need to identify. It is crucial that I identify my positive emotions during these exercises. I should be certain to include the wonderful and good things about myself as I identify my emotional self. This will provide a realistic picture. If I record only negative emotions, my picture of myself will be quite distorted and lacking in reality. I understand that every person is born with all emotions and each emotion needs to be seen in its full and loving energy. I will listen to the gentle whispers of my soul. I will find a quiet place and time and listen to that inner voice of intuition within me. Each person has it. And I will listen with my heart rather than my head. My heart will hear different things from my head. There is a very special time just as I am waking up in the morning but before I am fully awake. This is the time zone when I can often hear my sub-conscious speaking to me. I will listen to my thoughts at this time carefully and I will pick up important messages, messages that can help me to identify my emotions, even my core issues.

In this reference, as a BLESSED BEYONDIST, I hereby, make an ABSOLUTE AFFIRMATION that, I will cry about my experience. Crying is a normal releasing function for each human being. We are born with this ability because through crying we release pain, hurt, and associated stress. I should begin to cry about whatever hurts me. Crying or writing and crying about what has happened to me can help me sort out my experience and understand it; which is very crucial. If I have had a very painful experience, I should write one sentence and sit with this sentence and cry. Then write another sentence and sit and cry. In time this process will relieve some of the sensitive pain around my experience and eventually make it endurable. With time, the pain around the situation will lessen, as long as I allow myself to feel it. I can play all sorts of games with my mind, denying reality is something all people do. However, it is much harder to do that when I write things down. I do not have to show my list to anyone, but for complete emotional health I have to fully accept my emotions. This acceptance will be accelerated if I write my list and share this list of emotions with another human being. But I should be very careful and choose someone who will guarantee me confidentiality, for instance a counsellor, pastor, priest, and psychiatrist, someone trained in this type of work. A professional can often help me put a healthy perspective on these emotions. Writing this list is important.
