Lesson 8: Focus

This lesson talks about how powerful focussed energy can be.

Here is another example of "the gap between knowing and doing"! It is obvious to see how diffused light is harmless, but focussed light becomes a laser beam that can cut through anything. This is true with any force--including personal energy. And yet, sometimes we (I!) get so caught up in day to day living that we diffuse our energy and don't get done what we had set out to do. I see this as a pattern in my life, and I am making a conscious effort to stay focussed. I have come to realize in the past few weeks that when I stay concentrated, the power I have to affect my reality is amazing.

Here are my answers to the fill-in-the blanks for this lesson:

• Each day is another opportunity.
• People I meet are basically wonderful becoming.
• Honesty is best policy, yes or no. Not in every situation, but always when it comes to accepting responsibility.
• I am a child of God by human nature.

Exercise: Media Fast

One of the side benefits of being at the theatre every night is that it has weaned me of any desire to watch TV. I watch The Office and Dr. Who with Dan, and that's it. I have even stopped listening to talk radio (which used to be my favorite), because I'm just not in vibrational alignment with it anymore.

By the way, one of the great things that has come from my personal development path is that I am more and more aware of my vibrational alignment. I understand, now, what the Lamanites meant when they declared "that their hearts had been changed; [and]that they had no more desire to do evil." (Alma 19:33, Book of Mormon)

I used to be so amazed at that. Wow, I thought, what would it be like to not even have an inkling of wanting to do wrong or make a wrong choice? I get it now--their vibrational alignment was strident to that notion.
