Hello,
This is Guy.
And even though we may not like those moments,
It is just those moments in our life that challenge our most cherished self-images that often prove to be the most valuable.
They don't seem like that at first,
But as we're about to find out in key number 16,
That it's always the time to face the thing that we don't want to face so that we can learn as we will in this special lesson in our 31 keys,
How we can begin to laugh in the face of defeat.
Here's the special insight.
It's a fact,
Even if we don't see it yet,
But we will if we continue with our studies,
That defeat is nothing but a bad memory.
Let me repeat it again,
Because I don't know if there's any more important of a lesson for us to understand,
See into,
If we're going to change our destiny.
Defeat is nothing but a bad memory.
And no memory has a life of its own.
Think about it.
When we're looking at something that we want to do or hope to do,
An idea comes where we want to step into some unknown situation,
What comes up inside of us,
Unbekoned,
Is a certain kind of memory that compares what it is that we hope to do or see or become and compares it with all the ways in which in the past we may not have achieved that or worse,
Fell flat on our face.
That means in those moments that what we're actually listening to,
Looking at,
Is a memory that's calling itself real life.
Real life has no defeat in it and your true nature cannot be defeated.
This means further that the only time we feel the pain of some kind of defeat is when without knowing it,
Something in us has called it up,
Literally created through an imagined idea from the past,
Something that we made out of a moment that never should have been made into that kind of misery,
Where that is a revisitation of a past loss that only exists in the present moment because we have been brought to look at it again.
The more we see the truth of this,
That defeat is nothing but a memory and that we can remember the truth of ourselves in the moment when we need it most,
Is the same as grounding ourselves in the present moment where no defeat exists.
If we can do that,
Then every time those old memories,
Those old feelings of failing on all that,
When that appears we'll be able to look at it and even laugh at it because now we understand there is no defeat for who and what we truly are.
That's what changes our destiny the more we live from that kind of understanding.
You join me tomorrow when we pick up the seventeenth key which is called,
Follow What You Love.
