Hi Rosalind, Yes. When I heard Gary say ‘either way the Universe will not judge me’, I also felt it to be a powerful and profound statement. |

I joined late because I am at work but it has been helpful to read all your posts after listening to the video on Commitment. I realize I need to have compassion for myself when I indulge a FP and try again. Practice and repetition will make creating authentic power become easier. Is it possible that as I make the commitment to face my fears and create authentic power, that they will fight even harder to control me? |

Beverly, I have the same thought about fps becoming stronger as I resolve to face them and challenge them. Thank you for this reminder, so that when my fps do appear stronger I can remember this is part of the process. |

And thank you everyone for reminding me that the Universe does not judge, no matter what I choose to do. Rosalind, I so appreciate the reminder that I/fps don’t need to judge myself! |

Thank you Sundar for your post.It speaks to my commitment to challenge the fp of angry that has keep me distant and closed and lock up. My commited intention written on the line in the sand is to focus more and more on the loving parts of my personality that i can use to challenge that fp/angry. |

Hi Beverly, What I have found is that when I set my intention to heal a fp, the Universe gives me as many opportunities as I need to do so. Thankfully!! |

Hi Bevelry, Yes, any given fp can fight even harder to control you. The Universe, being alive, wise and compassionate, will keep creating opportunities for you to continue to practice. The fp then gets weaker and weaker. Eventually it is dead. As Gary said while describing his experience with the addiction, there can be no fallback. That is indeed a good news. It should give a lot of hope for us to keep fighting our fp’s. |

When I think about commitment, I’ve always felt like I was committed to my spiritual growth, and what I’ve learned is I’ve always been committed to something… but for the first 50 plus years, I was committed to being seen as “perfect” in the eyes of others. I used to tell Doug…I like thinking you don’t see I have any flaws…and if you do…I don’t want to know about them…I was so committed to what I felt was safe. I wanted to be the perfect wife, perfect mother…the list goes on and on. Then a few years ago, I read something that woke me up from bliss…brought about an awareness that let me know that this wasn’t the road to true spiritual growth…now what to do with that knowledge. Just as you know…the Universe in It’s perfect wisdom led me to the Seat of the Soul 6 months ago. I am so grateful for the chance to grow and learn and discover me…even the frightened parts. I have committed to being on this journey, to fully embrace learning about myself. I am committed to curiosity instead of feeling shame and inferiority. I am committed to making my spiritual growth my highest priority knowing full well that my frightened parts will have to be challenged and that I will discover frightened parts that I didn’t even know existed. I am feeling so grateful for partners that love and embrace their journey along side me so that we can all learn and grow together. |

Kristen, thank you for sharing about frightened parts that feel shame, bad, and wrong. For me, these are fps that I sometimes feel very strongly, and yes, they feel in those moments to be so real that they seem to be true. I am grateful for the support today of others reminding me through sharings, that I need to remember my intention for commitment to my spiritual growth and to allow myself to recognize fps for what they are when they come up and to know that I am worthy and loved and to bring that into my responses! |

Kristen, “contolling my life” is a clue for me. I see commitment as ALL IN, no turning back. As Gary said in the video, it is the raw power that it will take to do whatever it takes, suffer whatever must be suffered, and sacrifice what must be layed down. But when I look forward to see “what will that life look like” as an ALL IN soul I can’t visualize it. Will the ALL IN me still hold a job, pay a mortgage, be a husband, take my grandchildren to the park? Leah and I have wondered what our marriage will look like and we are not sure. To me ALL IN commitment means completely stop trying to control, stop trying to see around the corner to see how I am going to navigate that next set of rapids in the river. Living only in the moment. I think Ghandi or Christ are examples of ALL IN without reservations. I know I must decide, will it be obvious that I have decided? |

Gail, that “shy” fp that would keep you small reminds me of a fp that I haven’t quite been able to name yet that also gives me excuses to remain small and separate. It’s probably a fp that feels it’s OK not to be striving to grow–“why should I have to grow when I can comfortably lie down and stay away from others?” I do challenge it every day but it is powerful and often convincing. This is why the concept of a beginner’s mind is so supportive. It invites me to look at every moment as a beginning of my life, filled with possibility and joy. |
