I shall be offering this evening an exercise, for it is difficult to be recognizing of alternate channels, and understanding the transmission which is occurring upon alternate channels, when you do not tune completely to the one channel that holds your attention. Your focus is blurred. You believe that your attention is directed and clear within the channel that you view; your objective attention; but you shall perceive soon just how blurred your attention truly is!

We have incorporated discussion of your outer senses, as you view them; their function and how you create them. Within this exercise, we shall be focusing upon these senses; for until you learn to tune your attention clearly, you will not understand the interaction that you may view within alternate channels. You may tune to these other channels, but they will appear even less clear and confusing to you than the channel that you are attentive to within your waking consciousness. Therefore, I shall direct you within an exercise.

I shall briefly first explain to you that just as we have spoken previously of the connections within consciousness of many individuals en masse, and how they are affecting of each other continuously, your alternate focuses are continuously affecting of your private personal expression. Within your individual pools of probabilities and alternate selves, you are continuously interacting and affecting of each other; just as the analogy was presented to you of the flower, and the color, and the greeting card. Within different areas of location and different individuals seeming to be not connected to each other, they connect within consciousness and are affecting of each other.

In this same manner, very directly and continuously, your alternate channels are continuously affecting of you. You do not recognize this affectingness, but you do, at times, recognize elements which you would view to be out of the ordinary; small activities or noticings; small; that you ignore. These are each direct affectingness of alternate probabilities and selves; your other channels. They are translated differently.

You may incorporate one channel as a housewife, and within a daily scenario, you may be engaged in a very mundane activity of dusting. Within this activity, you merrily dust your house, and approach a stand upon which sits your family bible. Within one moment, you lift this bible to dust underneath the object, replacing it and continuing with your activity. Upon another alternate channel, a religious focus program is running. The religious program has directly affected the action of lifting the book. This may seem not to be a profound affectingness, but it is a small example of the many, many, many activities and ways that each channel intersects with each other continuously, within every moment.

As I have stated, it is important that you view the one channel that holds your directed attention clearly. In this, I shall instruct you within our exercise. Within the beginning elements of this exercise, I shall be asking you to be holding your field of vision; not closing eyes; for you are tuning to this attention, this station, this channel. You are noticing and allowing clarity of this channel. Therefore, the purpose is not to be altering your state.

Allow your vision to be as clear as it may possibly be.In this, I will ask you to sit comfortably.   Focus upon any given object within your room, but do not concentrate intensely upon this object. Allow for your vision to normally encompass the entirety of the room, with one main focal point. Do not strain, and do not force yourselves to be concentrating very hard upon any given object. In this, now tune your consciousness to your senses. Notice your vision. Allow your vision to be as clear as it may possibly be. Tune to your hearing. Notice all of the sounds that occur. Many sounds are occurring that you automatically tune out and pay little attention to. Notice your body; your physical feelings; your body temperature. Notice your sense of touch. The air touches your skin continuously. Your clothing touches your skin. These are all elements that are a part of the clarity of your focus, to which you pay little attention to. Notice smells. You pay little attention to your sense of smell throughout your individual, mundane day. Notice your sense of taste. You view that if you are not consuming something, you are not tasting anything. Your senses are highly tuned, and respond regardless. They incorporate continuous stimulation. You only choose to not be clear upon these senses.

Take a moment to concentrate, unstrained, upon the activity of all of these senses that you incorporate throughout every moment of your physical focus. (Here, there is a ninety second pause)

Now, I will be instructing each of you to be closing your eyes and allowing your attention to drift. Do not be focusing upon your outer senses, so to speak. Allow yourself to feel comfortable, and calm, and quiet. (Here, there is a thirty second pause) Enough drifting!

I shall be instructing you to be practicing this exercise three times within each of your daysYou will notice that with your eyes closed, you will drift. You have experienced, within your attempts at meditation at times, difficulty in holding your focus. You experience, much of your time within your dream state, an inability to hold your focus and manipulate within that focus. This exercise of tuning your directed attention, your consciousness which is tuned to this channel, will be very helpful to you in instructional areas of developing your ability to be manipulating within alternate channels. Altered states, as you term these, are all alternate channels. If you hold the ability to consciously manipulate within the consciousness that holds your attention, you will more easily learn to manipulate and understand within alternate channels of consciousness. Therefore, throughout this week, until our next meeting, I shall offer you the opportunity for what you would term to be homework! I shall be instructing you to be practicing this exercise three times within each of your days. You may incorporate this exercise at any given moment, for your eyes are open, and you are attentive to all those individuals around you and also any activity that you may be engaging, for you are tuning your consciousness more clearly. You are not drifting. You are not placing yourself into an altered state. Therefore, this exercise will not be interrupting of your normal activity.

Also, within your exercise of clarity, add to this exercise … as you are all accomplishing so very well!   Within your energy centers, engage two energy centers. Mingle these energy centers as they radiate and envision these, within your clarity, moving around your body, up and down, as hoops. In this, notice your sense of touch. Notice your feeling of your skin as your energy centers radiate and move up and down your body.

In this, I shall be waiting for your descriptions of what you notice, for your noticing shall not only be a sensation of movement against your skin, up and down your body. You shall experience, if you are noticing and clear, different sensations dependent upon which energy centers you choose to be engaging, for they shall be affecting of different elements of your physical expression. These exercises are offered to you not as time consumers. They are offered to you to allow you the opportunity to be clear within your manifestation within physical focus, and be appreciating of your creative power.

May knowledge and intuition combine to guide you in thought and deed,
and you will display a heart of boundless love for all creation.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Smile and feel.

This is a text from the Blessings Generator . It mixes blessings and prayers from all over the world.  Nice idea! 

One of the mistaken certainties or misconceptions most people operate under is that you get what you want in life by what you DO, or through the actions you take. Most people believe that the DOING or action part is what makes things happen. However, this causes you to create in reverse.

Let me explain…

The reason we put a lot of emphasis on action is because we do not understand the power of our thought. If you analyze it, 90% of most people’s actions are spent trying to compensate for inappropriate thought.

„In the practice of the Way, every day something is dropped. Less and less do you need to force things until finally you arrive at non action. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone“. The Chinese philosopher Lao-tsu said that, „In the practice of the Way, every day something is dropped. Less and less do you need to force things until finally you arrive at non action. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone“. What he is talking about is doing without doing.

The problem is that most of us are preoccupied with „doing“. Unfortunately most of our doing usually involves struggle. In the western world we are conditioned to be action-oriented, so we place a tremendous value on doing. We are so busy doing that we do not realize that all this „doingness“ causes us to create in a reverse fashion.

Most of our actions are out of fear, worry or doubt because we believe nothing will get done unless we DO something. In other words, we are trying to force our desire into manifestation through action.

If your decision to DO is dominant, then you will not focus on what you want to BE in the present moment. This causes you to miscreate because BEING is the first and most important step in the creative process.

Here is the secret.

It is not your action that makes things happen, it is your intent. It is not your action that makes things happen, it is your intent. You can reduce the need for action to a very minimum by allowing yourself to focus on what you desire until you feel the positive energy begin to  move within you. This energy is not based on doubt, fear, anxiety, worry or need. If you focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want, you will know when it is time to take action. And when you do, it will be effortless. Doors open and the entire universe will conspire to assist you in your desire. Put simply, you should take no action on anything until you have visualized your desire and made it real enough in your mind that your next action (step), whatever it is, seems like the most logical step.

How can you know the next logical step? Here is the test that you can give to yourself before taking any action. If you focus on what you desire and still feel overwhelmed or anxious, then you are not ready or any action. You know you are ready when it feels like the next logical step is effortless. There is no effort, no strain, and no pain.

What we want to do is to use the leverage of energy, the same leverage of energy that creates everything in the universe. However, we are so caught up in the reality of WHAT IS, that we feel we must create everything through mental effort and physical activity.

Have you ever seen people who seem to have all the wonderful things in their life without much effort? It almost seems like they have an advantage over everyone else. Then you see the people who work the hardest usually have the least. That doesn’t seem fair does it? But that’s the way the universe works.

Unfortunately, those who work the hardest usually have the least because they haven’t learned the leverage of aligning their energy. They are going about creating their lives the hard way. They are trying to use their actions to create what they want.

But here is the truth – anytime you are struggling you are miscreating. We have also been programmed that in order to have what we desire we must work hard. How many times have you heard – „No pain, no gain.“ The implication is that if you want to make something of yourself, you must work hard. The message is clear – if you are not hurting or struggling, you are not moving forward.

But here is the truth – anytime you are struggling you are miscreating. Anytime you feel pain or struggle, your magnetic point of attraction is directed to that which you do not want, rather than to that which you desire.

Read it again!

Actions are necessary, but they are the last component of the creation processes. Actions cannot be used effectively to initiate results, because initiation is the function of BEING, then thought, then action.

Remember, the creation of anything is through your vibration. Everything vibrates, and it is by that vibration that we harmonize and attract experiences to ourselves. So before you act or do anything, first ask yourself, how am I vibrating? How do you tell? You tell by how you FEEL. Your feelings show you your vibration. How you feel determines what you attract.

When you use the process of creating by only focusing on what you want instead of what you don’t want, you will see that the universe will provide a different set of circumstances for you that requires much less action. This puts you in a state of „doing without doing“ or action without effort.

Dr. Robert Anthony

Healing your physical bodies is another of those things that is so simple and so easy! Yet you often make it complicated and hard.

Your physical bodies and every single cell in them have their own individual consciousness and intelligence. Your bodies and every cell know their natural state is perfect health and well-being. If you left them to their own resources, if you will, they would naturally and automatically heal themselves of any imbalances or dis-eases.

In fact, most of you have had symptoms of various so-called terminal diseases in your lifetimes, often without any conscious awareness of them. You probably didn’t go to a medical doctor for tests during those times. The doctors and their diagnoses didn’t put the fear of death into you.

So your bodies naturally, easily, and quickly restored themselves to their natural state of perfect health and balance. All without your participation, and often without your conscious awareness.

Why? Because you didn’t have a chance to get in their way.

So John’s tactic of ignoring his eye doctor’s negative diagnosis was exactly the right thing to do. Obviously, it worked. It always works!

By the universe’s own Law of Attraction, you cannot attract anything to you unless you give it your attention.  Ignore the condition and it will go away — it must!

Just stay out of the way of your bodies They know what they’re doing. Let them do their job and you will enjoy a long life of health and happiness.

John Cali channels Spirit: Many of the people coming to Spirit and me for private readings, or just to talk, are yearning for healing — healing in their bodies, their relationships, their work, their finances, and so on. All of us have probably needed healing in our bodies one time or another. Today we’re focusing on physical healing. I’d like to share with you a bit of my own personal healing journey…

Ich gebe euch heute Abend eine Übung, weil es schwierig ist andere Sender zu erkennen und zu verstehen, wie dabei übertragen wird, wenn ihr euch nicht ganz auf einen Sender einstellt, der eure Aufmerksamkeit hat. Euer Fokus ist dann verschwommen. Ihr glaubt, dass eure Aufmerksamkeit auf den gewählten Sender gerichtet und klar ist; aber ihr merkt bald, wie verschwommen eure Aufmerksamkeit wirklich ist!

Wir haben eure äußeren Sinne besprochen, wie ihr sie seht; ihre Funktion und wie ihr sie erschafft. In dieser Übung werden wir uns auf diese Sinne konzentrieren; weil, solange ihr eure Aufmerksamkeit nicht klar einstellt, versteht ihr die Interaktion nicht, die ihr von anderen Sendern bekommen könnt. Ihr könnt euch auf diese anderen Sender einstellen, aber sie werden euch verwirrend und weniger klar erscheinen als der Sender, den ihr in eurem Wachbewusstsein benutzt.

Ich gebe euch dafür eine Übung.

Ich möchte euch zuerst kurz erklären, dass – genauso wie wir vorher über die Bewusstseinszusammenhänge vieler Individuen, und wie sie sich dauernd gegenseitig beeinflussen, gesprochen haben – beeinflussen euch eure anderen Fokusse dauernd. Eure individuellen wahrscheinlichen und alternativen Selbsts beeinflussen sich dauernd gegenseitig. Verschiedene Orte und verschiedene Individuen, die nicht miteinander verbunden zu sein scheinen, verbinden sich im Bewusstsein und beeinflussen einander.

In der gleichen Weise beeinflussen euch eure anderen Sender sehr direkt und dauernd. Ihr erkennt diese Beeinflussung nicht, außer manchmal, da erkennt ihr Teile, die ihr als außergewöhnlich anseht; kleine Aktivitäten oder Wahrnehmungen; so klein; dass ihr sie ignoriert. Diese sind alle direkte Beeinflussungen anderer Wahrscheinlichkeiten bzw. Selbsts; eure anderen Sender. Sie werden anders übersetzt.

Ihr könnt einen Sender als eine Hausfrau haben, und in der täglichen Routine betätigt ihr euch in der sehr weltlichen Aktivität des Abstaubens. Ihr staubt munter ab und nähert euch dann einem Gestell, auf dem eure Familienbibel liegt. Für einen Moment hebt ihr die Bibel auf, um darunter abzustauben, legen sie zurück und macht weiter. Auf einem anderen alternativen Sender läuft ein Programm mit religiösem Fokus. Das religiöse Programm hat die Aktion, das Buch aufzuheben, direkt beeinflusst. Das ist anscheinend keine tiefe Beeinflussung, aber sie ist ein kleines Beispiel von den vielen, vielen, vielen Aktivitäten und vielen, vielen, vielen Wegen, mittels derer sich jeder Sender mit jedem anderen dauernd in jedem Moment schneidet. Wie gesagt, ist es wichtig, dass ihr den einen Sender klar seht, der eure Aufmerksamkeit hat. Darin werde ich euch mit unserer Übung unterrichten. Am Anfang dieser Übung bitte ich euch, euer Blickfeld offen zu halten; die Augen nicht zu schließen; weil ihr euch auf diese Aufmerksamkeit, diese Station, diesen Sender einstellt. Ihr nehmt diesen Sender klar wahr und lasst diesen Sender klar sein. Der Zweck ist deswegen nicht, euren Zustand zu verändern.

Ich möchte euch bitten, bequem zu sitzen.  Konzentriert euch auf irgendeinen Gegenstand in eurem Raum, aber konzentriert euch nicht intensiv auf diesen Gegenstand. Erblickt ganz normal die Gesamtheit des Raums, mit einem Hauptblickpunkt. Strengt euch nicht an und zwingt euch nicht, euch sehr stark auf irgendeinen Gegenstand zu konzentrieren. Wendet jetzt euer Bewusstsein euren Sinnen zu. Nehmt euer Sehvermögen wahr. Ermöglicht eurem Sehvermögen, so klar wie nur möglich zu sein. Stimmt euch auf euer Gehör ein. Nehmt alle Geräusche wahr, die es gibt. Viele Geräusche überhört ihr automatisch. Ihr schenkt ihnen wenig Aufmerksamkeit. Nehmt euren Körper wahr; eure körperlichen Gefühle; eure Körpertemperatur. Nehmt euer Tastgefühl wahr. Die Luft berührt dauernd eure Haut. Euere Kleidung berührt eure Haut. Das sind alles Teile der Klarheit eures Fokus, denen ihr wenig Aufmerksamkeit schenkt. Bemerkt Gerüche. Ihr achtet den ganzen Tag kaum auf euren Geruchsinn. Nehmt euren Geschmacksinn wahr. Ihr glaubt, wenn ihr nichts esst, schmeckt ihr nichts. Eure Sinne sind fein eingestellt, und antworten trotzdem. Sie bieten dauernde Anregung. Ihr seid lieber nicht klar bei Sinnen.

Konzentriert euch einen Augenblick, locker, auf die Aktivität all dieser Sinne, die ihr jeden Moment in eurem physischen Fokus erlebt.

Schließt jetzt eure Augen und erlaubt eurer Aufmerksamkeit zu wandern. Konzentriert euch nicht auf eure äußeren Sinne. Fühlt euch bequem und ruhig und still. (30 Sekunden Pause) Genug des Treiben-Lassens!

Ihr werdet bemerken, dass ihr mit geschlossenen Augen dahintreibt. Ihr habt bei euren Meditationsversuchen manchmal die Schwierigkeit erlebt, euren Fokus zu halten. Ihr erlebt meistens im Traumzustand ein Unvermögen, euren Fokus zu halten und in diesem Fokus zu manipulieren. Diese Übung, eure gerichtete Aufmerksamkeit, euer Bewusstsein, das auf diesen Sender abgestimmt ist, einzustimmen, wird euch helfen zu lernen, eure Fähigkeit zu entwickeln, mit anderen Sendern umzugehen.

Veränderte Bewusstseinszustände, wie ihr diese nennt, sind alles andere Sender. Wenn ihr die Fähigkeit habt, bewusst im Bewusstseinsbereich, der eure Aufmerksamkeit hat, zu manipulieren, fällt es euch leichter, manipulieren zu lernen und andere Bewusstseinssender zu verstehen.

Ich werde euch deswegen die Gelegenheit geben, während dieser Woche, bis zu unserer nächsten Versammlung, Hausaufgaben zu machen! Macht diese Übung jeden Tag drei Mal. Ihr könnt diese Übung immer machen, da eure Augen offen sind und ihr auf alle Individuen um euch und auf jede Handlung achten könnt, die ihr durchführt, weil ihr euer Bewusstsein klarer einstimmt. Ihr lasst euch nicht treiben. Ihr begebt euch in keinen veränderten Zustand. Deswegen stört diese Übung eure normale Aktivität nicht.

Eine Ergänzung zur Klarheitsübung

Weil ihr alle damit so gut vorankommt!  Wählt zwei eurer Energiezentren aus. Lasst diese Energiezentren in ihrer Ausstrahlung ineinander übergehen und stellt euch diese in eurer Klarheitsübung vor und bewegt sie in eurem Körper, hinauf und hinunter wie einen Reifen. Nehmt euer Tastgefühl dabei wahr. Nehmt euer Gefühl eurer Haut wahr, während eure Energiezentren ausstrahlen und sich in eurem Körper auf- und ab bewegen.

Ich warte dann auf eure Beschreibungen, was ihr wahrnehmt, weil ihr nicht nur die Bewegung auf eurer Haut euren Körper hinauf und hinunter wahrnehmen werdet. Ihr erlebt, wenn ihr wahrnehmt und klar seid, verschiedene Empfindungen abhängig von den Energiezentren, die ihr auswählt, weil sie verschiedene Elemente eures körperlichen Ausdrucks beeinflussen.

Diese Übungen gebe ich euch nicht als Zeitvertreib. Sie werden euch angeboten, damit ihr die Gelegenheit ergreift, in eurer Manifestation im physischen Fokus klar zu sein und eure Gestaltungskraft anzuerkennen.

Die Vorrausetzung, damit diese Übung überhaupt funktioniert, ist, dass man die momentane Realität, als eine von vielen Wahrscheinlichkeiten erkennt.  Alle diese Wahrscheinlichkeiten sind gleichrangig. Entscheidend ist, damit die Übung gelingt und wie Seth sehr betont,  dass die momentane Realtiät nicht als „realer“  gesehen wird als die anderen. Sonst kann diese Übung nicht gelingen.

Dann kann man beginnen,  für 5 Minuten am Tag – nicht länger – sich die gewünschte Realtität vorzustellen. In dieser Zeit muss man die zu der Vorstellung passenden Glaubenssätze aktivieren. Beispielsweise, wenn man arm ist, für 5 Minuten am Tag „reich sein“. Dies wird laut Seth nach einer Weile in dem gewählten Bereich zu Veränderungen führen. Außerhalb dieser Zeit sollte man nicht daran denken, da es sonst zu Konflikten mit den Glaubenssätzen kommen kann. Der Grund, warum man nur 5 Minuten „üben“ soll ist,  dass man nicht zu vergleichen anfängt, was man laut Seth automatisch tun würde, wenn der Zeitraum länger wäre.

Zusammenfassung:

•  davon ausgehen, dass andere Wahrscheinlichkeiten gleichrangig existieren
• 5 Minuten pro Tag in die neue Situation hineinversetzen
• keine Vergleiche durchführen, die restliche Zeit nicht daran denken

Now we trust that you are all very comfortable and we thank you for your consideration. This evening we would enjoy bringing a previous discussion on magic into the presentation, and in particular, we would specifically like to discuss map-making, but in a very particular way, in a manner unique to our modus operandi. And we would call this „The Happiness Map.“

Now, in standard terms, a map is a representation, hopefully in clear detail, of a particular geographical area, or a country, or even the entire world and certain branches of science, such as astronomy, each attempting to create a map of the cosmos, certain metaphysical studies such as astrology attempt to create a psychological and psychic map with the various houses and planets and so on. And it is, to a certain degree, worth investigating what it is that you map out during the course of your daily adventures and ultimately, during the course of your existence.

And of course, some of the subject matter will be familiar to you as it necessitates recognizing some of the various highlights, or even low points during the course of a day or week or month. And this requires a recognition of what you normally focus upon or pay attention to which includes what you worry about, what you stress yourself about, and even what you deny to your own self during the course of those adventures.

So this entails the creation of your own personal, psychological map and we hope to assist you in laying down a specific type of map that may even be akin to an old-fashioned treasure map, the treasure being “Happiness” and we can show you there are no pirates out to get the X that marks the spot, but most definitely this small exercise can also bring about a very real, conscious, undeniable representation of what you experience during the course of a day or week or more.

And we mention it in this way because we are well aware of the very human tendency to hide things from oneself, to censor and block out that which you do not want to deal with in one way or another, but this small happiness map will render the process much easier and assist you in transforming what you would normally deny or not want to deal with into a transformative process, leading to a treasure hunt for happiness. Not that happiness is found elsewhere, halfway around the globe, but rather right where you are to be found.

The process itself is relatively simple: On a sheet of paper you can draw a large circle and on and within the circle itself you can fill the space with a variety of smaller circles. The smaller circles can vary in size, as you please, or they can be of even sizes, the point is not to get all of the circles absolutely perfect. Once you have filled the large circle with a variety of smaller circles, you can begin to write or even abbreviate different portions or segments of your day with various activities that you engage in.

And this should be as true as possible, even if you think an activity should never appear on paper, we trust that by now you have a sufficient understanding to accept even those parts, aspects and activities of your own that otherwise you might still perhaps consider simple or otherwise. And if such are still carrying that stigma, then we highly recommend more Triple ‚A‘ or even the very recent energy point exercise. With this out of the way, try and write something in each of the circles.

And once all of the circles have been filled with a description or abbreviation, whether one of the activities or some of the activities involve struggle, worrying, stress, and so on, take inventory of the numbers of activities that you might even consider perhaps unpleasant, unfulfilling, frustrating; in short, activities you consider might not make you as happy as you would have wished for that day or that week. And write perhaps beside, outside of that circle, the major circle, the number or percentage of activities that lead to unhappiness as well as the number of activities that actually are fulfilling and bring happiness.

Now we do understand the very real and practical necessity to often accomplish tasks that are absolutely necessary for human survival and so on and so forth, perhaps some of those are tasks you would perhaps not have to do that are necessary, but there are also many other tasks that you do that are fulfilling and fill you with happiness. And once you have finished writing the numbers and compared each one, take another sheet of paper, re-do the major circle and fill that with varieties of smaller circles. (Pause)

{josquote}Write down in each of the smaller circles as many activities as you would like to engage that do bring you genuine happiness!{/josquote}And in this, write down in each of the smaller circles as many activities as you would like to engage that do bring you genuine happiness, regardless of what it is, even if you think it is beyond your reach, Perhaps you would enjoy being one of the first people to go into outer space on a commercial vehicle, even if you think such an activity could not possibly be within your reach, write it down. And perhaps each time you write such an activity that fills you with happiness, even joy, take a moment to delve in that action. Imagine what it would be like if….

And after a moment, write something else in another circle, until you fill the page. You do not have to merely and strictly stay within the realm of fantasy. There are many, many things that can make each and every one of you happy in real and three dimensional terms. Feel free to delve into any of these as well. (Pause) Once you have filled all of the smaller circles we suggest adding up those happy activities that you consider fanciful in one way or another, and those that are, according to you, within your reach and add the numbers, and compare.

For example, you may have twenty different smaller circles, nine of them would be filled with activities you might consider flights of fancy, and the balance with those that are practical, so you would write those two different numbers. And once you are done, take a third sheet of paper, again make a large circle, again fill it with smaller various sized circles or evenly sized, as you wish. And this time you will divide the large circle, starting from outside its periphery, from one end to the other, north, south, east, west, creating four segments.

This is merely for practical purposes and you may name each of the four segments on the outside of the large circle, perhaps something along the lines of the upper left segment as „early morning“, the upper right as „early afternoon,“ the lower left: „late afternoon,“ the lower right: „evening.“ These are merely suggestions, you may play with those things as you see fit.

Now within the first segment and you can also name segments one, two, three, four, however you like, segment number one: you can begin to fill it with activities, even if they are mental activities or actual physical activities that give you happiness, that make you happy. They would be activities that you DO engage in, that you would encounter in the day, or that part of the day, or that you will deliberately create within that part of the day to provide you with happiness. And you would do the same with each other segment. The idea being that you would hold this as a guideline to follow for those various parts of the day.

{josquote}You may even invite unexpected moments of happiness to become part of your map of happiness.{/josquote}And you may even include, as does occasionally happen in real life, for the unexpected events that pop up in your reality and that even such unexpected events can be incorporated into your happiness map. You may even invite such unexpected moments of happiness to become part of your map of happiness. With a small amount of practice, such a process can take but a few minutes of anyone’s day. However, the happiness map model is sufficiently open-ended for anyone to modify it to whatever adventure they wish to incorporate within it and especially to periodically, say every few weeks, if you carry this proposal to any length, compare your first map with your most recent map and gauge the differences, the changes, that make themselves known to you as you create them, utilizing such a map-making process as a guideline.

There is no hard and fast rule for such a process and as this development unfolds, you may even incorporate goals of happiness as a foundation for unfolding days ahead. We believe it is simple enough, but its impact can be very deep if you make such allowances, considering that the map is not the happiness, the happiness is what you create, the map being merely an assistance that can help you dig up treasures from deep within you, and help bring it up to the light of day and conscious experience. Does this make sense?
