Ever get in a fight and a referee, teacher or parent came in the room, you exclaimed indignantly, “But, he hit me first!”
Or perhaps, you might have been the parent coming into the room, only to have to split up this spitting pair. Each of them righteous.
Exasperated, you asked, “who threw the first punch?”
I do not envy the judges of this world. Yes society needs them. Yes I have needed them (in my divorce). And sometimes, we as parents are the judge. What to do?
What happened? As we judge others, we judge ourselves. ( http://choose.ws/2009/07/13/what-is-reality/mirroring/judgement-on-the-judgemental/yucel/ ) So, what is a parent to do?
Well, first of all, who did throw the first punch?
Was it the person who actually let their fist fly first?
Was it the first person to actually land a punch?
How about the first person to say something snide? Was this the fight starter?
All of these are fairly easy to figure out. Not necessarily easy. Just fairly easy. How about the person who came into the room and didn’t punch or say anything. But on entering the room gave a dastardly look and perhaps made a really aggravatingsound or gesture?
In the study of communications, we learn that about 90% of communication is non verbal.
Thus we do not have to say anything in words to get 90% of the communication accross. Ever look at a picture of Marilyn Monroe,? Or Valentino? They speak volumes in the instant of the shot and have both been long gone and yet still “speak” to us through these photos. Uh huh.
Then there is the law of attraction which states that we send out vibrations. And, these vibrations, what ever they be, attract to us the exact matching resonant vibration.
So, who threw the first punch?
Is it possible to punch someone who has not asked (in some way) to be punched?
If we always have choice, do we have choice when we punch someone?
Did we already decide to punch someone, and vibrationally attract someone wanting to be punched?
Either the law (law of attraction) works all the time, or none of the time.
Either you believe the law or you don’t. The data for the law, once you know to look for it, seems to be overwhelming. I’m mostly convinced of the law’s inviolability. Is that even a word? (It is now.. Inviolatability isn’t.. I looked it up.)
One of these manifestations of the law seems to be that we each appear to have the exact life we choose.
Show me a persons life, I’ll show you their thoughts. Show me a persons thoughts, I’ll show you their life. Change a thought, the life changes, and vice versa.
Believe me? Then, if someone got punched, what were they thinking?
And so, who threw the first punch?
Or is that even the right question?
Gets very gray, n’est pas?
Peacefully yours,

Have you ever thought about someone whom you haven’t thought about for like 10 years, and the phone rings and its them? Have you ever thought about something, and blam, there it is? I have and am no longer surprised by it.
When we start a Real Love meeting, we will take “Pearl Cards,” (like cards with wise sayings from Real Love: www.reallove.com) and it may be surprising to those who do not believe in the laws of attraction (LOA) how often we will get the same card from the deck week after week, and how right on the card is to right where we are in life.
I have been attending some different 12 step programs in the last couple of weeks and have been amazed at the wisdom these programs contain. I kind of wonder how the rest of us get along, having not relapsed to the point of having entered one of these programs and gained the wisdom there in…
The folks going around a circle in a recent Al-Anon meeting for instance were sooooo wise…
I digress… one of the bits of wisdom I had heard, I was looking for in various books… in the indexes etc… to no avail… I thought I would blog on in and wished to find a quote… I’ll blog on it later… what happened was, I opened to a page which drew me, and started to read a story, and a couple of sentences in… there it was, The Serenity Prayer, it was called.
The Serenity Prayer for me embodies aspects of the law of choice and discernment and trusting of our connection with source for guidance.
I will blog on the Serenity Prayer separately. What I will do here is just bask in the synchronicity, and share with you the prayer:
SERENITY PRAYER
May serenity be yours,

I’m afraid this post is going to be really fabulous…. ha! Have you ever noticed how what we fear may be what manifests in our life over and over and over again? Thus making us even more confident in our fear?
Confidence in fear! What a concept. It does seem to ring true however. The law of attraction dictates that what we focus on or have feelings about we manifest. Thus, if we have fear of something occurring: so it shall.
A concept I have been exposed to recently in an introduction to “Soul Dance” and “Avatar” seminars by Sunil Ahuja, website: http://www.integral-transformation.com , I will paraphrase by saying, that when one holds a superlative belief, its opposite may manifest.
For example, if we believe we are totally honest, we may attract liars. Why? How can this be? We attract what we are, yes? Well, yes. Until we dig deeper into our psyches and find, that by believing we are totally honest, that implies everyone else is perhaps less honest than goodie good us. Thus, others are varying degrees of liars. If we believe others are varying degrees of liars, well, then we are right; and, we attract liars.
Sunil’s course deals with how to unwind and diffuse these subconscious and unconscious patterns. I hope to be partaking in more on this and will keep you all posted on some of the gems. It’s all a journey after all, yes?
So, that said, how do we deal with areas where we are less than comfortable. There are all the normal tools for how to pick better feeling thoughts. One shift we can make in the churning of fear in our bellies, is to look for excitement. What excites us?
As I write this, it kind of hit me, excitement is a kind of positive anticipation. Fear is a kind of negative anticipation. We are excited to maybe win the lottery. We fear not winning and losing the $1.00 on the ticket. Both are anticipation, one positive, one negative.
Interestingly, both of these feelings can run around our guts and in our guts can feel somewhat similar. It is important to learn how to distinguish between fear and excitement in our guts. Our stomach always knows if something is right for us or not. Be present and listen to this whenever possible, and discern rightly.
There really is nothing to fear after all. Secure in our knowledge and faith that everything happens for a reason. So, what we really need to do is to find something to be excited about. Our stomach is a compass which we must learn to read accurately. One of the Pearl Cards from Real Love states something to the effect of, “when we feel bad, we are thinking or doing something wrong” website: http://www.reallove.com/ .
I think choosing excitement over fear is better way to go. And, when the twisting is still there, that is grounded in fear, then perhaps the direction we are going still needs change.
Still, I have struggled with how to tell, is the twisting in my gut fear? Is it excitement? Is it a warning of going the wrong way or just excitement?
Would love input from the gallery on how to more clearly discern whether this gut twist is excitement or a warning of thinking or doing something wrong. For me, the feelings are still very similar. While I am getting better at this discernment, it is difficult for me to quantify. Help?
Peaceful excitement be with you,
