Simple, Easy Transformation

Preface   This book is inspired by a question posed to me by a friend. She said, “Zo, if you were to leave the planet today what would you want the world, the planet, and the people to see and know?” This is the answer to that question.   We all have the ability to change our lives and the course of the planet. It’s an inside job. We can change our thoughts and ideas around how we view this world and our lives. We can create peace, love, joy, wisdom and understanding.   How can we do this? Simply by changing how we think and feel about ourselves and the world around us. All we need to do is forgive ourselves and others for our errors in thinking.   When Jesus said, “Rise up and walk and “sin” no more, he was saying “Go and error no more”. A “sin” was a word used in archery. When you missed the mark (the bullseye) it was called a “sin” which translates into error. I believe he was saying “Go and error no more,” in their thinking so they didn’t draw back in the thoughts that created the malady they were suffering from in the first place. We also have the opportunity to let go of our “errors” in thinking through forgiveness and go and live the life we have been waiting for.   We don’t all have to agree on anything we just need to give ourselves permission to allow ourselves and others to have their own perceptions and not take it personally. We can do that by realizing that nothing is real, so why would we want to get all excited and irritated about anything? The emotions that we feel are combined with the thoughts that we are having, and this creates all the difficulties we experience here and now. If we could curb our emotions, we would be a lot more rational in our responses. One way to unwind the reactions we have is to forgive ourselves for the beliefs we cling to and make peace within our own system.   This book is a way to forgive ourselves and others and calm our emotional responses to the world around us.   Zo Houseman           Introduction     I started out taking one thought at a time and writing out pages and pages of, “When you did this, I felt _____________.” Then I would write out all the feelings and reactions I had to the situation. This was followed with a forgiveness statement to the offender, and also to me, for my part in the event. I would ask for help in releasing myself and the other from blame. The next step was to write out a positive statement to replace the old pattern and use sticky notes that I placed around where I would see them several times daily. It would eventually become programmed into my mind. This process would take a couple weeks to integrate in and then the next thought that started niggling at me would come through and I would repeat the process. Well, this was taking a lot of time and I thought there must be a faster way to do this and I thought about it quite often.   As time went on, I learned how to shift the negative thoughts I was having about myself and others in a more efficient way and I could move the energy quicker and easier. A few years ago, a friend told me about a system called “The Emotion Code” by Dr. Bradley Nelson. I read the book and it was basically what I had been doing except that he used a list of descriptive emotion related words to identify what needed to be released. He also used the systems of the body, but I only used the emotion list. It was a short cut to identifying the emotion that needed to shift. I expanded on the list of emotion related words and used kinesiology testing to identify which emotions were involved that were ready to release. Instead of having to sit with a client and dig out the core issue, I could simply use muscle testing to identify the emotion that needed to be released and the client didn’t have to talk about the issue or get emotional unless they wanted to. That made it even simpler and faster but was still practitioner dependent.  Now I have found a simple way that individuals can do the work themselves. Read on to see if it will work for you.             How it works   Our thoughts are the creative force that forms the life we are living. In order to change our lives, we can direct our thoughts consciously and create a more fun and enjoyable experience. We are creating our lives in every moment of every day. If we can learn how to delete the thoughts that are making life feel hard and then input the new thoughts, we can change our experience and have fun along the way.                                                       Life is a series of emotionally driven stories which create the illusions we believe we are experiencing. Most of the time we feel like things are happening to us instead of understanding that our thoughts and intentions are the actual cause of what we are experiencing. If we take responsibility for the stories we have made up collectively, and individually, we can change our lives. If we created it, we can uncreate it. Anything we are not happy with we can change. We create limitation, excitement, boredom, etc. Life is a series of stories… we are all innocent children playing in the energy of thought. This is key to remember when we are caught up in the emotion of our creations. God within us is having a hay day no matter what we have created. We aren’t doing it wrong, it’s just that we can let go of what is not working for us and exchange it for a more peaceful and calm existence, if we desire to.
