• 0:27
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:29
  coop today I have a question for you.
• 0:32
  What do you think is causing all the screw ups that show up in
• 0:38
  your life? Most of all, So just take a
• 0:42
  moment and say, OK, what what's showing up?
• 0:45
  Like, you know, all these things that happen.
• 0:47
  What is it That's a common denominator in all these things.
• 0:52
  And the common denominator is your contradictory thoughts.
• 0:57
  What do I mean by that? Contradictory thoughts are when
• 1:01
  we say we want something or we are focused on having something,
• 1:05
  but then we start worrying about it and we don't have a clear
• 1:08
  path of intent. So I'll give you a good example,
• 1:14
  and I know this is a controversial subject to come up
• 1:17
  with this, but I do believe that our thoughts dictate and present
• 1:20
  our external world. So take that into this and
• 1:25
  understand it. Everything that you think and
• 1:28
  you focus on and you believe creates your external world and
• 1:31
  our challenge is always when we are not consistent with our own
• 1:35
  thoughts. That's what screws it up.
• 1:38
  So I'm going to use it a simple example that just happened
• 1:41
  because I've talked about the fact that I've lost a couple of
• 1:44
  hens now. Have I just been completely
• 1:47
  focused every single day that they are safe?
• 1:50
  When I went back and started debriefing myself and saying
• 1:53
  really, because I was so upset about what happened to them, I
• 1:56
  sat there and I said to myself, well, have I been intending
• 1:59
  every day that they're safe? Have I been in a place of
• 2:02
  gratitude every day saying I'm so grateful, they're safe and
• 2:05
  healthy? No, it was a real eye opener to
• 2:08
  me that I hadn't been doing that every day.
• 2:10
  And then I had this epiphany about the fact that, well,
• 2:14
  here's something even more important.
• 2:16
  Had I been going in every single night and counting them and I
• 2:21
  say to them, oh, great job today.
• 2:23
  And I realized making sure nobody died so I would do my
• 2:26
  head count every night and be like, oh, but there was a
• 2:29
  thought in the back of my head, huh, It's been quite a while
• 2:33
  since we've lost a hen. And that had been showing up
• 2:36
  probably for the last month where I would have these pretty
• 2:40
  consistent thoughts about, wow, it's been a while, it's nice,
• 2:44
  it's been a while. We haven't lost anybody.
• 2:46
  Nothing's happened, blah, blah, blah.
• 2:47
  And then all of a sudden it happens.
• 2:50
  Now, one could say that I opened the door for that and I
• 2:54
  manifested that some people would argue, no way, I'm not.
• 2:59
  I I don't know what I, you know, don't know.
• 3:01
  I always say that you don't know what you don't know.
• 3:03
  So I am a believer that your thoughts and your focus manifest
• 3:07
  your outside world. So on some level did I manifest
• 3:11
  this? Well the answer is I didn't
• 3:13
  manifest the opposite so I allowed this to come in.
• 3:17
  So now as I recognise my behaviour in this and I have to
• 3:22
  make a choice about how I want to move forward with it, you
• 3:27
  better believe that every day I'm having an intention for this
• 3:30
  along with my other intentions that I'm very good at.
• 3:34
  I have to focus on this as well and change my language patterns.
• 3:39
  I wanted to share this with you because I think a lot of us have
• 3:42
  these dysfunctional language patterns or these back thoughts
• 3:46
  that are consistent, but we don't pay attention to what they
• 3:49
  actually mean. And then something shows up and
• 3:52
  we think it's rather random. You know, Esther Hicks is great
• 3:56
  for saying that the randomness is not so random, because when
• 4:01
  you don't intend and you don't put your path in an A forward
• 4:06
  motion of intending what it is that you you want and seeing it
• 4:10
  as if it's done, you then enter into the world of the bumbles
• 4:14
  where everyone's just bumbling and you're banging into other
• 4:16
  bumblers. That's how things happen.
• 4:18
  So that doesn't mean that you're not actually participating in
• 4:23
  it. You know, making a decision to
• 4:25
  not make a decision is still a decision.
• 4:27
  So when someone says I'm not going to decide, you've actually
• 4:29
  made a decision, you're not going to decide.
• 4:32
  But we don't like to think that way about ourselves.
• 4:34
  So this is really a a fundamental piece of how I want
• 4:40
  you guys to start considering yourself.
• 4:42
  Our contradictory thoughts. The things that are going on
• 4:45
  behind the scenes are the problem when we don't have clear
• 4:50
  intentions. It's OK to have a random
• 4:52
  thoughts, but the consistent contradicting thoughts are the
• 4:56
  ones that cause all the problems.
• 4:58
  So you have to learn to observe them, control them, put them in
• 5:01
  their place, and appreciate the fact that it's so critically
• 5:07
  important, so critically important to to understand what
• 5:13
  your intention and direction of energy is.
• 5:16
  And that's why we're revisiting this today.
• 5:19
  So when you want to know what screws things up, most of all
• 5:24
  it's our contradicting thoughts and I hope that you recognize
• 5:27
  yours. And I hope that you pull them
• 5:29
  aside and you have a little talk with them about not showing up
• 5:32
  and redirect them and focus on the good stuff.
• 5:34
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a fantastic day and I
• 5:38
  will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
