so what we find here, is going to be negative lydea?

Lydea

remember we are adventurers, we are looking for the hidden treasure

OldTree

is there a way to break the cycle?

Lydea

we work on the Images that are holding us back Stones

lila

okay.... so I have an image that there is never enough time.....

Lydea

yep so see how that is played out in your life lila, on a daily basis

Aureila

I can relate to that!

lila

yet - I don't wear a watch , don't like to be reminded of the time

Lydea

take the careful observer stance and see how rushed and stressed you often feel

sapphire

but if this is a pattern.....don't the others want to keep it going?

mamb

intent...we draw all of this to ourself...

Lydea

the pattern is your pattern Sapphy

Stones77HOST

i agree mamb

Lydea

as you notice how that belief is being played out daily lila, it will seem as though you see if over and over again, more and more

mamb

But Lydea, it is difficult when you change the pattern...you also change how the people around you respond

lila

plays out hourly.....not daily....lol

Lydea

faster and faster, and then....................................

sapphire

yes mamb agree!

Lydea

yes that's true mamb

............................ frosty joined.............

Lydea

and remember you are not responsible for the other person's actions, you are only responsible for yours

mamb

True, but that is a hard one, Lydea..

Sandcastle

finally am learning that one ty

Lydea

ahhhh there is another image mamb

mamb

yes, lydea...the one of woman

Lydea

another image mamb

mamb

care taker etc...

Ade

but woman r saviors

mamb

yes it is

Lydea

another image

OldTree

what Lydea?

Lydea

women are caretakers, women are saviours, it's hard to be a woman, these are all images

mamb

that we buy into, without even thinking about it!!

Lydea

the trap of our images is that we often think they are THE truth

Lydea

Lydea yes exactly mamb

mamb

How true, lydea

Quinn

you can create your own images

Lydea

remember earlier I said my image around spirituality is about I'll have to give up something I love/like. As I explore this image I'm finding it difficult to let go of it

............................ frosty left.............

............................ Wench left.............

Lydea

because even as I observe my beliefs around it, I kind of like the suffering attached to that................

Quinn

I should say each creates his/her own images ,,,, or embraces ones that have been presented

Aureila

"LIKE" the suffering?

Lydea

so I find compassion for myself and recognize that I'm not ready to let it go yet

Dreamtime

because of the suffering - you get to feel spiritual ?

Lydea

I'm afraid to see what will replace it

mamb

It is always a reason, that you can hang your hat on

Lydea

maybe I won't like the new belief

Lydea

yes exactly mamb, it may be an excuse I can use over and over again, I get some negative pleasure out of it

lila

kind of like we believe that we have to work for money..... instead of have it be given to us, or work very hard for money...

Lydea

yes and many of us like the image Work is Hard

OldTree

i do....

see there ya go, if we actually tested ourselves and said, hey what would it mean to let go of this limiting belief many of us would get scared
