Hi,
It's Guy and we've reached our 11th session in 31 Keys to Change Your Destiny.
This particular key lesson that we're going to look at is one of my very favorites because all of us have had those moments where somewhere along the line we found ourselves maybe stuck,
Unable to go further,
At a place where it didn't seem possible for us to go beyond ourselves as we talked about in one of our earlier sessions.
And then,
As almost a miracle,
Somebody shows up,
Something happens,
An idea comes,
And in a moment where before we couldn't see a way through,
Suddenly there it is and it's open and our destinies changed,
In this instance perhaps because someone else came along and helped us help ourselves.
This next session is called Help Others Help Themselves.
And here's the insight behind it.
There's no such thing as a separate self.
I'm going to say it again.
There is no such thing as a separate self.
We looked at this when we started this series of sessions.
There is one being,
One spirit,
So that anything that you or I do to encourage another person to take the step they're sure they can't,
To do a little better,
Go just a little farther,
That's exactly the same as helping ourselves do the same thing.
Every time we give someone a lift,
A hand up,
Not a hand out,
But a way in which that person with our help is willing to go through what they wouldn't go through otherwise,
Not only do they take the step they're sure they can't,
But because they've done it and their consciousness has changed accordingly,
The whole of our consciousness changes accordingly.
Try a little kindness,
Even if you're not feeling that way in the moment.
The kindness that you will give is the kindness you get.
You've heard the idea before.
Now we're going to make it part of our life.
And when we do that,
We change not just the destiny of the person that we help,
But when we help someone else go higher,
We change our own destiny.
We'll see it,
We'll feel it,
And we'll be freer for it.
I look forward to our next session together where we're going to look at an all-important idea about how we are bound by our resentments,
And as we learn to release them,
So do we find a freedom that we've been looking for all along,
A way in which our destiny is changed because we are changing our being moment to moment.
