Chapter 6 Imagination
Chapter 6 Imagination
This is a very powerful chapter for me personally as it gives me a reminder about creating our own future as a person, yet also that we created our past also through programming either consciously by ourselves or from another person.
The hardest part is that for me such was not designed well as was unaware of the things wanted as a person. It has taken many months to work through the fog, I was working to make others happy and not myself as a person, this only lead to an internal conflict of keeping others happy over my own happiness.
Despite the fact that it was tearing me apart as a person because all I ever wanted was my own family, to be a person. For years I have loved my own family so much yet the hardest thing of all had become that they couldn’t return such. For years was even saying to myself “I am not going to be my father”.
Its has taken years to work through the mess and to finally get to the point where I am able to say this is what I want and I am going to have it. For me the relationship and giving back to people through mentoring, coaching and support is who am. Its what have always done given to people and done my hardest despite never even knowing a true friend until after starting the mental cleanse, over 1 year on now I have found 2 great friends who are true friends and best friends.
Although would often extend the hand of friendship to people had been taken advantage of too many times by people and that is hard. Yet for now I have said to myself ok where do you want to be in 12 months, what do you want to do?, for years it was about what others wanted. Pleasing everyone else bar myself and also so hurt and emotionally blocked that was unable to know what wanted as person, heck I didn’t even dare imagine what I wanted. Yet now I have and have written it out loud.
This chapter was a wonderful reminder about Dr Gunsaulus who founded the institution and stopped his dreaming and becoming determined to achieve such no matter what setting a time frame of 1 week. Personally I had to realise that had the most amazing woman right in front of me who wanted to know me as a person, a true friend. Very rare yet there is a vision which remains stuck in my mind from a while ago of a home with myself a wonderful woman and 2 kids. That is my ultimate, that has stuck with me for ages.
Personally it is now time for me to work towards being that partner who I am as a person, there is still a lot to work though yet for me the road is getting easier. As now am starting to find that support crew who will stay there no matter what and will advise or assist as necessary.
Thank you to Michael, Ken, Willena, Shelly and Mervyn for you wonderful love, support and acceptance. It’s been a journey for me learning to be that person was meant to be. I love and appreciate you all so much, thank you to the mental cleanse community for your wonderful lessons which inspire me.
