We had our Monday night gathering and Jackie, Donna, Trish, Teresa, Cynnea, Richard and Patti were present. <br />Our alignment question was: What does the world need and want that we could deliver? <br />Corecept: We can be role models for stepping out of the box. <br /> <br />1st question: How doe we trust that everything will be all right? <br />Corecept: We hold the faith and get out of the way. <br /> <br />2nd question: What causes a person to settle for less than what they want? <br />Corecept: Because everyone else does. <br /> <br />3rd question: Why would someone not go for their dreams? <br />Corecept: They forget what the dream was. <br /> <br />4th question: What is the box? <br />Corecept: The rules. <br /> <br />5th question: How do we step out of the box? <br />Corecept: With trust, courage and support. <br /> <br />6th question: Why not have it all? <br />Corecept: I wouldn't be content because there would be no challenge. <br /> <br />We had a great time and it took us awhile to get to the corecept for some of these questions. Sometimes we were surprised by what we found and not always so happy with where the question took us - but it was a fun and enlightening time. <br /> <br />Sending you Love, <br />Patti and Richard <br /> <br /> Hi Everyone, <br />Last night we had a great group for our Monday night get together( in attendance were Donna, Linda, and Teresa) We started out with walks for atonement with people using the variations. Some worry walks and criticizing self and others walks. Then we moved into doing Self-Deception Signals specifically regarding Settling for less than what I want. It was quite amazing what we came up with. Try it. <br /> <br />For this weeks exercise try the Emotion and Importance Exercise below. I know we did it a little while ago but this time when your through run the little trick that Harry puts in the reading on Page 64. Ask yourself what's important about whatever you came up with in the exercise and then what's important about that. Keep on going until something is revealed or you have more clarity. Have fun. Remember we're doing ReSurfacing again this coming weekend. Come review or bring a family member or friend. We'll have a great time. <br />Love, <br />Richard and Patti <br /> <br />There you have it. Patti and I will be off to wizards this sunday for two weeks. Will write and let you know all the wonderful things that happened when we get back. <br />Love, <br />Richard and Patti<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3853039-88898513?l=avatarcargard.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Richardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13348371542389825957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853039.post-874594242003-01-14T21:13:00.000-08:002003-01-14T21:13:53.670-08:00Welcome. For those of you who have been to the site before you'll notice an entirely new look to the pages. I've been busy for the last week redesigning. We are starting back having our Monday night get togethers and last night was Thoughtstorming. Here's what we came up with: <br />How can we benefit by becoming more aligned? <br />Corecept: We would have the strength of others to draw on. <br /> <br />What would be the benefit of ending co-dependent relationships? <br />Corecept: Authenticity <br /> <br />What would keep people in a co-dependent relationship? <br />Corecept: A need for approval. <br /> <br />How do you let go of the need for approval? <br />Corecept: By appreciating who you are. <br /> <br />Why are people so willing to believe other people have bad intentions in mind? <br />Corecept: You want everyone to feel the way you do. <br /> <br />What could we do to experience the power of being in the present moment in the next week? <br />Corecept: Decide. <br /> <br />Have a great week.

I promise to write more regularly. We are preparing for our monthly gathering today for all the people who have taken course. Last Monday nights Thoughtstorm came up with the following corecepts: Our questions and corecepts follow: <br />How can we benefit by becoming more aligned? <br />Corecept: We can accomplish what we desire effortlessly. <br /> <br />How can we be more supportive of our partners (business or life)? <br />Corecept: We can help them realize their primaries (goals, dreams). <br /> <br />What keeps us from helping our partners realize their primaries? <br />Corecept: Our belief in lack or scarcity/our fear of lack. <br /> <br />How do we eliminate fear? <br />Corecept: Be willing to feel it. <br /> <br />How do you sell houses quickly? <br />Corecept: By having no mixed messages being put out. <br /> <br />As partners, how do we create the vision (of our relationships or our businesses)? <br />Corecept: We mutually decide. <br /> <br />How do we decide who is responsible for what? <br />Corecept: Make a list of what needs to be done and mutually agree on it. <br />Have a wonderful week! <br />Blessings, Richard and Patti<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3853039-85641845?l=avatarcargard.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Richardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13348371542389825957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853039.post-842096372002-11-07T21:02:00.000-08:002002-11-07T21:02:52.313-08:00Hello Everyone--Just got back from Carmel, Ca and the International Avatar Course.
