Chapter One.
THE DEFINING MOMENTFor over twenty years I 'worked on myself '. Great stuff! I made some progress, sure, but still I felt that there was something I was missing. I just wasn't quite getting 'it'.
I am one of those people who believes in being the best; having the best. I don't believe in half measures. Deep inside me I have always believed that we humans were meant to have a good life. I was sure that our creator hadn't intended all the misery we experience here on Earth and I thought that if only I could remove the layers of self imposed or society imposed negativity, then life would be Heaven on Earth.
I was sure that there was some secret; some recipe for success. I felt close to it many times but felt that there was something cloaking it; hiding it from me. That something was, I thought, my programming; the layers of negativity I had accrued in my life so far. Get that off and Bingo! I'd be there. As I work with people and love to help them, I thought if I could crack it, then I could pass on my knowledge to others and we'd all be in clover. But I wasn't really getting anywhere much, just going 'round and 'round in circles. The dog chasing its tail.I have had myself hypnotised, re-birthed, psychoanalysed and regressed to past lives. I have had holographic repatterning, bio-dynamics and the human design programme. I've been on the Chi machine, the Q.X.C.I (Quantum Xxroid Consciousness Interface) machine, not to mention having my astrological chart scrutinised and my tarot cards read. I have drifted into altered states of consciousness in floatation tanks and had Deep tissue massage, Thai massage, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Indian head massage, Aromatherapy and lots of other body work the names of which treatments I have long forgotten.
No one could ever accuse me of not doing some dedicated work on myself! I have done the usual thing of looking at my childhood and my relationship with my parents. I learned to love 'my Inner Child'. I have 'got in touch with my anger' and belted the living daylights out of pillows to release my sub-conscious and hidden blocks and frustrations. I have had one-on-one counselling and cried many bitter tears. For many years I put the blame for all my inadequacies fair and square on my mother's shoulders, until one helpful therapist sorted me out on that score.
Every now and again, someone would tell me of some wonderful new theory, new therapy, new discovery or the latest and greatest transformational tool and off I would go again to spend my heard earned money on yet another 'fix'. I won't say that all these things didn't help. They did. They were hugely helpful. Each new method helped to remove another layer and to embed in my mind my earnestness about getting myself sorted out, but I felt there was still a missing link. I have been on endless workshops to remove my 'shadow side'. I have been pummelled and poked and detoxed on every level by a variety of dedicated and well meaning therapists.
Getting in touch with my Inner Child was interesting. I wrote endless letters of forgiveness to my mother, my father, my ex-husband and even myself. I did rituals of burning these letters in the garden. God knows what the neighbours made of it all as I lit yet another fire! Therapists told me to scream out my pent up anger and frustration and 'to unblock my throat chakra'! The primal screaming presented a bit of a problem: where can you go and scream away all your frustrations in a built up area, without someone calling the police?
Oh Boy! How I grovelled and gnashed my teeth while re-experiencing all my old pain. How daft can one be? Surely it was enough to have suffered it once without visiting it all again? But no, these therapies insisted that I really 'get in touch' with the pain. "Get it out", the therapists said; "don't keep it all bottled up inside". "Feel the pain". I laugh now when I remember the times I rolled around on the therapist's floor or on the carpet in my living room churning up all those old real or imaginary hurts. Was I mad or what?
Mad I probably was. Surely it is insane to put oneself through pain again and again. Wouldn't once be enough? Why go back and revisit and experience it all again?Dreaming the impossible dream?
And what was I hoping to achieve at the end of it all? The perfect relationship? The ideal career? Loads of money? Yes: All of these. The School of 'You can have it all' promised me all those things: all that was in the way was my 'blocks'. Talk about making me feel even more guilty and inadequate. Here I was trying all this and getting nowhere…. Not good for the self worth! But, to give me my due, I kept on trying. 'Keep on keeping on' became my motto. One day I would find the therapy or the workshop or the book that would turn the key and then, Hey Presto! There would be the golden future of love, prosperity and abundance.
Through those years I have filled many journals with my pain and my thoughts and have written my hopes and my goals. I have kept endless dream journals. I have looked at myself in the mirror and said my affirmations out loud and stuck up 'post it' notes all over the house to remind me of my goals and my affirmations. (All good stuff really, but not enough). I listened to subliminal tapes as I drifted off to sleep and even made self hypnosis tapes for myself with my voice speaking to me. No one could ever accuse me of not trying. But I was TRYING TOO HARD. And maybe my pattern of struggle started with the school reports which said 'could do better, not trying hard enough'. I couldn't get away from EFFORT. The idea of effortlessness hadn't entered my awareness.
Every now and again, I would hear from friends of a new workshop and they would enthuse about the fabulous results so-and-so had achieved from all this and off I would go again with my hard-earned cash in my fist. Oh, yes, all those workshop leaders and motivational speakers were genuine and well meaning people. And, for a while, I would gain some ground until life and I slipped back into old patterns once again. There is no doubt whatsoever that I did make some great strides in those years, but I didn't somehow find myself getting to where I wanted to be..
Which was where?A life of Abundance, Love, Good Health and Peace, that's where. Because deep down I believe that that is our birthright!
Then, last year, as I was on yet another programme of some kind, going round in circles once again and getting more and more frustrated with myself, I woke up one morning and said……..
The good old Anglo-Saxon expletive……….the 'F' word!In that 'F' it' moment, I decided to give up working on myself and let things be. It was a 'handing over' moment; a second where I decided to get out of the driving seat. The thought hit me that my ego working on my ego was like a dog chasing its tail.
It was a long awaited moment of realisation; a milestone in my life.
But the best was yet to come, as from that one moment; that flash of awakening, my life has changed in the most wonderful positive ways. In fact, all the things I was desperately striving for have now arrived with ease and joy. Effortlessness has replaced effort.
I don't really think that the years of 'working on myself 'are wasted, they have given me a great understanding of myself and others. And maybe the groundwork was established through all of that for my 'F' it' moment! But most of that hard work was really not doing the trick. And I now realise that the bulk of that hard graft was not necessary. It was joyless and punitive.
Looking back to that moment last year, it was a defining moment.
You might not like the vocabulary of that 'F' it' moment, but it is an attitude rather than a word. And, hey, these days that word is less objectionable than it used to be. In Ireland they say 'feck' but somehow it doesn't have the same punch to it. The F- word has a certain 'Pow' to it. Remember it's only a word, a sound. Even with words fashions change. There was a huge outcry when George Bernard Shaw used the word 'bloody' in Pygmalion and there was shock and horror when Rhett Butler uttered the word 'damn' in 'Gone with the Wind' Thankfully, the 'F' word still has a touch of unacceptability about it, if it hadn't, we wouldn't get the same emotional release from using it, nor would it have quite the impact. There is something so-o-o-o satisfying in saying 'F' it' to mark a shift in attitude or to release some pent up frustration. It is the context in which it is used that is important. And my context was a real letting go; a mega surrender. I got out of my ego and surrendered to something greater than myself. So, what is that 'something'? Actually it's me, but not me.
And then the book goes on to explain the principles of the duality of our nature…………ego and Higher Self.Aha!
As we realise the truth of our being, all falsehood falls away; all limitation dissolves. If we could truly get the message of who and what we really are our lives would become perfect. If, as it is said, that we are sparks of the Divine or fragments of Source, made in the image and likeness of our Creator, how could we ever be sick, poor, sad or lonely? It would not be possible. If I am Source/God being me and you are Source/God being you, then the truth of who we really are is perfection. The reality of Source/ God is perfection. Source cannot be sick, poor or limited in any way, it is impossible. There is no need to strive. No need for all that effort. The Higher Self takes very good care of us. So, the trick is to remember who we are and to operate ONLY from that reality.
We have been so programmed for millennia that we find it difficult to make that shift of perception; the ego has held sway for so long. But we can 'get it' in the twinkling of an eye when we call the ego's bluff.
That's the 'F' word moment: the moment of surrender and realisation.
"Let go and let God". Surrender. Over-ride the ego, shrug your shoulders and say 'F' it'
