“We fight against the world of our own creation and try to prove to everyone, including ourselves, that our world and it’s problems are real.” Lester Levenson, “Happiness is Real”

This is a very profound statement in my opinion. As I learn more and more about my life and how I’ve created it so far, I see how the ego will keep us in illness, lack, depression, etc. It will fight to the death! We view all these things as real BUT are joy, love, happiness, health and prosperity real? Not to the ego. 

How many times have I worked with someone (even myself) and seen how hard they “try” to hold on to their dis-ease. If they didn’t have it, who would they be? How many times have I worked with someone who claimed to be broke? If they were prosperous, who would they be?

It seems that we can really assuage the ego by being ill, being broke, getting people to buy into our story… what happens when we change our story? Who wins? We do!!! BUT you may ask.. is it that easy? Actually, it is! I’ve seen and felt it myself! 

At one point, I’d moved from a shared apartment. My share was $375/month plus have the utilities. My roommate decided she was going to move. I failed to get a new roommate so went out and found a lovely place at $650 per month plus ALL the utilities. Well, I was barely scraping by at $375 BUT, I saw the potential in this place where I could hold weekly classes. I therefore declared to the universe that I COULD afford this new home! THEN, I received a gift of a new motorcycle. THEN, w/in a few months, my teacher raised his prices. Well, I wanted to afford to ride the motorcycle, keep my car, go to class AND sessions, so, what did my ego come up with? Cut out 2 weekly session. That was about $150 at that time. Then something hit me! NO!!!! I will NOT do anything of the sort. I SAW how students would stop coming to class or clients come for sessions with me ~ The ONE thing in life they most enjoyed they were willing to cut out because they were coming from survival, not thrival. Then and there I told myself I WILL have that apartment; I WILL ride my motorcycle EVERY Sunday and I WILL have enough money to go to class, weekly sessions and monthly groups sessions (which was about $1,000 per month at that time. Just declaring that, the universe opened up and gave me more students and clients. I stayed in that apartment for 12 years; kept the motorcycle until I was ready to give it up and never missed a class, session or weekend. 

It take making a commitment to oneself! By doing all that, I supported myself, my clients and students and my teacher. Can you see the cycle? In return, my teacher supported me, as did my students and clients. Life works, if you work it.

Love to all,

Revvell
