Problems, Schmoblems! (Part 2 of 3)

Well I trust you have been walking along the razor's edge for a few days! Here comes another idea for handling those pesky problems! This one is courtesy of Joe Vitale and Dr Hew Len, my favorite Hawaiian Ho'oponopono guy!

According to the book "Zero Limits," problems are simply memories replaying. They will dominate your mind and hence your life as long as you let those old gramophones keep playing over and over.

Ho'oponopono simply asks you to replace those memories replaying with the phrases "I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Forgive Me, and Thank You." This is telling the devine which is inside us all that you are grateful that He is there, you have "caught" the program that brought a "problem" into your awareness (this could be overeating, being out of money, your child's tantrums, an allergy or disease, or world peace and bad government, or anything) and you don't know how you caught it, but you are sorry this problem is in your awareness, you are asking the divine to forgive this situation, and you show gratitude for the help which the divine always offers.

This mental ritual will change your life. But you must try it. Which reminds me of the guy who said, "Lord, PLEASE let me win the lottery," and a big voice from heaven says "But Frank, you've gotta buy a ticket!" In other words, reading and studying these methods is all well and good, but I dare you to really try this for a whole day, whenever you remember to do it, and I bet you will notice how good of a day you have, and I bet some weird "coincidences" will occur! When you receive an unexpected check, or somebody enters your life at just the right time, you can thank divine providence....over and over and over in your head!

"You've Got Your Problems, I've Got Mi-ine!" Part 1 of 3

Remember that old tune? I paraphrased a bit, but I think it is familiar. Well I have been working on "problems" a lot the past few months. But I don't mean in the sense that I have problems, and I am working on them. I mean I am working on the whole grand theory of the world of problems in general. And wouldn't you know it.....my three favorite books all have a method of "problem-solving" that works! Put all three together and "Voila" your day just got 100% better, and you didn't have to rely on anyone else or anything else happening to make it work.

First of the three is Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" solution. In a nutshell, it is simply this: ask yourself, "What problem do I have RIGHT NOW? Not in ten seconds, not in ten minutes, not next tax season, but RIGHT NOW!" If you have reached the point, after practicing, where you can "be present" in the present moment, you will see that it is true, there are no problems right now. But here is where the magic happens....picture yourself as the zen master who according to Tolle "walks along the razor's edge of the eternal now." Guess what? Try it and see. You can walk along that edge and you will be problem-free guaranteed....UNTIL the moment when your conciousness slips back below the level you were at on the razor's edge of now. When you slip down a notch, your problems will all be there waiting for you in the basement of conciousness, or the time-driven temporal world we normally inhabit. Please try this and see if I am right, it can't hurt, it's free! Stay tuned for Part Two of this three-part series!
