It takes a while to integrate all new knowledge and feelings in your mind, so it will always be a while before the way that you react to things changes. As a result it takes a while for your world to change too.

I’m having some interesting experiences travelling at the moment. I’m currently in the Czech Republic visiting relatives, (I’ve heritage like yours Randy!), and I’m struggling to deal with their ‘glass if half empty’ view of life. My auntie, probably partly through programming from her mother, speaks of potential disasters, yesterdays misfortunes and must say “‘be careful” I reckon about 50 times a day. Do doubt she’s not aware of it. It’s also interesting to note the choices she makes and the life she leads as a result. I’ve had to take a break from her this evening so I spent half an hour speaking to someone positive on Skype and am now reading some empowering newsletters like yours Randy to get myself charged up again. Anyway, all of this has me asking myself what things I’m thinking that had me attract staying with my relatives in the first place. There must be some kind of vibrational match with them for me to be here, even if it is for the first time in 18 years! That’s something I will ponder over this evening. Thankfully I have a prosperous host at my next destination, someone with a successful business who owns numerous Ferraris. I can’t wait to get there and spend time with them.

Randy I am totally in agree with you… it is a processs.. but the fact is that when you are inthe process,with a constant effort … aparently nothing hapen and one day… sudenly… you are iluminated… both things are true… it is a process and the moment is so difernet , is so great ..that you live that like a big difference,,, many people dont know that to have that eternal moment… take all life…

I agree because for me also it is a process of ever increasing insights to my own behaviour and thoughts. The behaviour and thoughts are steering my life while the driver (me) is doing his best to be vigilant about new prospects and taking action where needed.

Sometimes I win at this sometimes I don’t. The objective is to have more successes over my own restrictions. For the most part its a zig zag affair. Watch out people I’m on the road :)

Yeah, it’s easy to sell books and stuff when you’re saying that you can get instant results, but you don’t seem to be the kind of guy that does stuff just to make money. You seem to tell it like it is. Success takes work. It’s worth it, but it takes time and a lot of work to develop yourself.

Right on! It’s a process.
I do believe “instant transformation” is a posibility, and we can find isolated cases in human history. But for the most part, I do believe for most of us, it’s a process. To think and/or to teach the contrary, I believe, will be adding on to the “instant gratification” mentality so popular in the data-sphere. There are not shorcuts in life. Changing our conciusness is a process, and a very wonderful and powerful one! Instead of looking to cut corners, lets enjoy the process.

This discussion reminds me of a quote I met this week (sorry, don’t remember who deserves the credit): “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time…”

So, basically, it’s a question of what you, the individual, is confronted with. Is it an elephant? or is it a cherry? If it’s an elephant, the process required will include lots of indigestion. If it’s a cherry – then it’s a snap.

G-d, in his infinite wisdom, can be depended upon to provide the cherry for desert – after the elephant.

MY long answer:

I join those who have focused on the meaning of consciousness. All of the modern definitions, as well as the ancient spiritual traditions, are in termed so that the change can be made instantaneously. But, that does not necessarily effect a change in BEHAVIOR/ACTION – which is ultimately what we are after.

Spiritually, we can convert in a snap – just by changing the INTENTION of our thought process, which we can access RELATIVELY easily. However, this is a first step in a process thru which we can review our behavior and so doing, modify the HABITS that we have developed over the years.

Well, simply put… If you have been bathing in s***t all your life, it might take time for you not to stink after only one clean bath!

It took me 5 years to become a 51%+ positive guy and believe in my dreams for real. Should have been easier or faster, I don’t know and I don’t care. What matters at the end of the day it’s the experience I lived.

Cheers,

“Consciousness: the having of perceptions, thoughts and feelings; awareness. The term is impossible to define except in terms that are unintelligible without a grasp of what consciousness means… quote by Stuart Sutherland, ‘Consciousness’, International Dictionary of Psychology’, 1995.

Based on that definition of consciousness – I believe it can be changed intantly. Now a mind-set, which I feel is a completely different thing, I don’t think that can be changed in an instant, that is a process that will take time.

How did we go from Randy’s statement “consciousness cannot be changed instantly” to simply talking about change? Was this a conscious or unconscious decision?
