The Path of Zero Resistence

I have a fascination for certain views. The fascintaion itself is a source of deep curiousity and worthy of much exploration, but so are the visual compostions that stir it.

I love pathways, doors, windows and bridges. I am drawn to thresholds and boundaries between one 'world' and another . I am a shapesifter. I live LIMINALLY, in the spaces between. I am one who loves to enter and cross different places, spaces, concepts and times and take whatever form is required to function and interact there.

I can see now, as I near the physical age of 47, that my entire life has been an exercise in adaptation and metamorphosis. As change has presented, on the most part, I simply yielded to it and found a way to flow

The River Finds Its Way to the Sea
A river begins as a mountain spring, quite often. Spurting forth form a rocky bed, or gathering from surface run off. It trickles down the countryside, simply going whether gravity takes it, between trees, over and around boulders. Over time the spontaneous path is carved into the terrain. If something was too hard to go around, it pools until, another way is accessed, or if water levels and flow changed, boundaries are extended, perhaps creating ox bow lakes that linger after the flood lines ebb, another new pond.

Basically, the river does not strive to make its way to the see. It simply flows. If it encounters resistence, it goes another without hesitation. If it is blocked, it gathers momentum and force steadily and easily and simply overflows and the weight of it's growing volume removes the barrier. The river adjust completely and immediately to its surrounding, never forgetting its objective to reach the sea. It takes what we call the Path of Least Resistence.

Going With Ebbs and Tides

I see my life like this. From the time I was very young, I needed to adjust to shocking changes, and traumatic turns. And I can see that I did it much like the river. Exposure to various kinds of abuses, geographical shifts, parent splits, sibling separations...all created opportunity for adjustment to much social, emotional and physical change. This was the beginning of learning to take the Path of Zero Resistence.

This difficult beginning brought me a great gift, which has become a deep understanding of a certain Path into Peace. The principle of yielding.It was a compliancy disorder until I understood its potency when approapriately applied.

It also brought me the knowledge that I can be the agent of change in my life, rather than the victim of it.

This is crucial to the mastering of Zero Resistence.

If you think change is something thrust upon you, you will resist it vehemently, but if you see that you are the agent of change, the instigator and orchestrator of events in your life, it is futility to resist yourself.

The Mirror that is My Life

Nothing in my life is there, but by my invitation.
It could be a direct or indirect invitation, but it canot be here, unless I drew into being. God gives me everything I want. i.e. The universe perceives my focus as me calling something into being,and faithfully manifests-to perfection. To realize this is to discover a hidden treasure trove that is SO enormous, as to be almost inconceivable.

Once understood, the fascination I referred to earlier takes over, and I am drawn down countless paths of excavation and discovery, into aspects of myself that bring awe and wonder.if I'm not sure what I've been 'asking for', I need only take a look at my life. A general belief could colour my life, or a specific fear, or desire. A general belief could be that 'money is hard to come by, let alone keep', so it will always be difficult to get it. Should it come, circumstances will also come to take it away. I may not consciously design the specifics, but the belief ruling my heart is ensuring I get exactly what I believe. Even when it isn't so, I will see it this way, because that belief will dictate my perception.

There is no judgment of 'good' or 'bad', or 'right' or 'wrong'. Source energy doesn't argue over the health or benefits of what we focus on, but faithfully brings into physical fruition-assuming, from our focus, it is what we want.

Zero Resistence

The reason Zero Resistence is so important, is because reisistence is a major force of focused energy. In aiming it at something, we make it much more, drawing ever more of it into our created reality. "What we resists, persists" Where there is no resistence, the condition will simply pass through our existence, like a boulder in the path of the river. In the meantime, we clarify further, what we do and don't want to create for ourselves, and where best to place our energy accordingly.

Not only does Zero Resistence plug up energy leaks, but it makes a big, broad all encompassing net by which all I am wanting can come abounding toward me. It removes any hindrances. Completely.

Always Thinking

Since I am a conscious thinking and emotional centre, I am always emitting some energy vibration that is drawing to me whatever is aligned to creating that state in my physical experience. It makes sense then, for me to cultivate an undercurrent of thought and feeling that fosters what I want, not what I don't want. The universe will faithfully materialize it , and I cannot deny what comes forth as being my own creation.

I determined I would eradicate any trace of fear, or lack, or doubt, by CHOOSING to believe in who I am as connected with and indivisible from God/Source energy/the Universe. ONE energy field means I am connected to all, and to some degree permeate all.

If I am one with God and all, then what would be denied me? All things are mine. So what could I possibly lack?i have no need to compete. I create. And if I am orchestrating all things by my focus, then who else is there to create by design for me? And all that arises is good, because it reveals where my focus is. So, I can be genuinely grateful, rather than resist it too. In this, I learn my lesson quickly, and graduate top of the class in no time, catapulting me to the state of BEING actually desire to be, and then its made manifest.

North to my Heart Compass
"It's ALL good". And "ALL things are mine" have become my answer to almost everything. Having practiced them for some time and seen their power (and humour!) to apparently alter everything, I rely on them for setting my focus. They are 'north' to my heart, and my heart is inarguably the compass of all that is my life.

They make it MUCH easier to stay on the Path of Zero Resistence and fully aligned to my dreams and there is nowhere else, and no ONE else that I would rather be! :-)

Launching My Escape into Eternity

Hmmm...as far as the calendar is concerned, it is July 1st, 2009.
As far as I'm concerned, it is simply NOW.

For many, many years of my life I thought "Time" was my absolute greatest resource.

I never had a lot of money, and valued my time far more than any money. I thought the best way to capitalise on my time was to learn how to manage it, invest it, leverage it, even save it.

I loved the concept of Time Management, the principle of setting goals, and of having long terms plans, because all of these things gave me a sense of being in control over my life.

Of course, unless I built in a plan for generating income, many of my monetary based goals (if I bothered to set them at all), could never come to fruition. Plus, I had a lot of baggage that made it pretty near impossible for Money to get near me, let alone hang around! I resented Money. Resented having to have it and didn't like what I felt it brought out in people. I blamed Money for an awful lot of stuff.

That meant too, that I was ALWAYS looking for alternative ways to accomplish my desires. Creativity and innovation, and time to create became much more valued in my estimations. Thinking and creating became almost one and the same over time...ha!..time

A Quantum Shift

But something shifted in me a couple of years ago.

I'd boarded a plane for a four day trip away and forgotten my watch. I couldn't put my phone on as it wasn't in Flight mode.
I took this as a 'cue' from the Universe to 'forget time' until it was time to fly back.

And I did.
Not once did I ask what time it was. So many around were time oriented, I didn't even need to, in order to catch my plane back! Of course,there's a practicality to time, but I dare to venture, that most live in a feeling a 'lack of time'.
And I've started to hear the term 'time poor', more and more.

NOW or Never
Can I ever really be time poor, if I have NOW. Who has any more or less?

I started to see Time and my attitude toward it, could bear all the same marks as money. Time had gone further than being a commodity...it had become a form of currency-adjusting in value depending upon the economics of people outside of myself.

People could, and did, change where an hour was placed in a day. I never warmed to Daylight savings. I love LONG mornings. That's why I like Queensland. But it wasn't until I realised these things about time, that I realised I could live a life separate from the 'timing' of others.

I began to conceive the idea of living in NOW, and 'outside' of time-in ETERNITY.
"NOW, this is ETERNAL life"
All over the world, people are in various degrees of today, tomorrow and yesterday, but yet, it is undeniably ALL NOW. The only way to truly leverage and maximize time is to live FULLY, NOW.

Another Shift
A couple of years ago i heard a man by the name of Stephn Covey Sr say:
"You don't need money to make money, you need Creativity"
When he said that, my entire universe opened up! I had spent my life fostering and nurturing all manner of creativity and re-conceptualizing, since I was REALLY young.

My circumstances required being able to rearrange the way I saw things,so that I could find the good in life, and alternatives became my specialty. And I practiced the art perpetually.

This brought about a massice shift in my mindset toward generating Money, and the culminating piece of that puzzle was changing the way I saw Money. And that has revolutionalized everything.

With Creativity/Thinking as my recognized most valuable resource, I became the richest person that I knew, because these practices had become central to all that I see myself as.

A Thinker and a Creator

I Don't Age...I Evolve

Now, I have a totally 'smashed' view of Time and everything is in perfect timing.
All that is my life is about synchronicity and knowing that "All things are mine", because I have the resources to create anything I can conceive. The 'whens' and 'hows' don't matter any more, since as soon as I see myself as BEING/HAVING/DOING/GIVING in the NOW, then I have received it.

The process has been conceived and is in gestation, and will inevitably be birthed into the physical line of 'time'.

Now, my goals are simply desired outcomes. Thay are a collage, a patchwork, a multiplicity of layers of experience. And by the time a desired outcome has materialized, I'm already in the incubating state of another, and another, and another...ad infinitum. NOW, I am living in eternity.

Now I Am
...and it's ALL good! :-)
