- 0:23chickens. Hey everybody.
- 0:28Good morning from the chicken coop.
- 0:30Today, I have a question for you.
- 0:32What do you think is causing all the screw-ups that show up in
- 0:38your life? Most of all.
- 0:40So, just take a moment and say, okay, what's showing up like,
- 0:45you know, all these things that happen, what is it?
- 0:49That's a common denominator in all these things and the common
- 0:53denominator is your contradictory thoughts.
- 0:57What do I mean by that contradictory?
- 1:00Facts are when we say we want something or we are focused on
- 1:05having something, but then we start worrying about it and we
- 1:07don't have a clear path of intent.
- 1:10So I'll give you a good example. And I know this is a
- 1:15controversial subject to come up with this, but I do believe that
- 1:18our thoughts dictate and present our external world.
- 1:22So, take that into this and understand it, everything that
- 1:27you think, and you focus on and you believe creates, Your
- 1:30external world and our challenge is always when we are not
- 1:34consistent with our own thoughts, that's what screws it
- 1:37up. So I'm going to use a simple
- 1:39example that just happened because I've talked about the
- 1:43fact that I've lost a couple of hens now, have I just been
- 1:46completely focused every single day that they are safe.
- 1:50When I went back and started debriefing myself and saying
- 1:53really, because I was so upset about what happened to them.
- 1:56I sat there and I said to myself will have I been intending every
- 1:59day that They're safe. Have I been in a place of
- 2:02gratitude every day saying I'm so grateful.
- 2:05They're safe and healthy. No, it was a real eye-opener to
- 2:08me that I hadn't been doing that every day.
- 2:10And then I had this Epiphany about the fact that, well,
- 2:14here's something, even more important had I been going in
- 2:18every single night and Counting them.
- 2:20And I say to them, oh, great job today, and I realized making
- 2:25sure nobody died, so, I would do my head count every night and be
- 2:28like, Oh, but there was a thought in the back of my head.
- 2:30Ed. Huh?
- 2:32It's been quite a while since we've lost ahem and that had
- 2:35been showing up probably for the last month where I would have
- 2:39these pretty consistent thoughts about.
- 2:42Wow, it's been a while. It's nice, it's been awhile, we
- 2:44haven't lost anybody, nothing's happened, blah, blah blah, and
- 2:48then all of a sudden it happens. Now one could say that I opened
- 2:53the door for that and I manifested that some people
- 2:56would argue no way. I'm not our, I don't know what I
- 3:00did. Don't know, I always say that.
- 3:02You don't know what you don't know.
- 3:03So I am a believer that your thoughts and your focus
- 3:07manifest, your outside world. So, on some level did I Manifest
- 3:11this? Well, the answer is I didn't
- 3:13manifest the opposite, so I allowed this to come in.
- 3:17So now as I recognize my behavior in this, and I have to
- 3:22make a choice about how I want to move forward with it.
- 3:27You better believe that every day I'm having an intention for
- 3:30this This along with my other intentions that I'm very good
- 3:33at. I have to focus on this as well
- 3:36and change my language patterns. I wanted to share this with you
- 3:40because I think a lot of us have these dysfunctional language
- 3:44patterns or these back thoughts that are consistent but we don't
- 3:47pay attention to what they actually mean and then something
- 3:51shows up and we think it's rather random, you know, Esther
- 3:55Hicks is great for saying that the randomness is not so Random.
- 4:00Because when you don't intend and you don't put your path in a
- 4:06forward motion of intending what it is that you want it, seeing
- 4:10it, as if it's done, you then enter into the world of the
- 4:13bumbles, where everyone's just bumbling and you're banging into
- 4:16other bumblers, that's how things happen.
- 4:18So, that doesn't mean that you're not actually
- 4:22participating in it. You know, making a decision to
- 4:25not make a decision is still a decision.
- 4:27So when someone says I'm not going to decide you've actually
- 4:29made a decision, Ian, you're not going to decide, but we don't
- 4:32like to think that way about ourselves.
- 4:34So this is really a fundamental piece of how I want you guys to
- 4:40start. Considering yourself are
- 4:43contradictory thoughts, the things that are going on behind
- 4:45the scenes are the problem when we don't have clear intentions,
- 4:51it's okay to have a random thoughts but the consistent
- 4:54contradicting. Thoughts are the ones that
- 4:56caused all the problems. So you have to learn to observe
- 4:59them. All them, put them in their
- 5:01place and appreciate the fact that it's so critically
- 5:07important. So critically important to
- 5:12understand what your intention and direction of energy is and
- 5:17that's why we're revisiting this today.
- 5:19So when you want to know what screws things up, most of all,
- 5:24it's are contradicting, thoughts, and I hope that you
- 5:26recognize yours. And I hope that you pull them
- 5:29aside and you have a little Talk with them about not showing up
- 5:32and redirect them and focus on the good stuff.
- 5:35All right, my friends. I hope you have a fantastic day
- 5:38and I will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
