The emotional “Matrix” … Will you take the red or the blue pill?

The Mastery of Love - Don Miguel Ruiz

The Mastery of Love - Don Miguel Ruiz

I have being reading through Don Miguel Ruiz book entitled “The Mastery of Love”. Actually I think it should have a different title, something along the lines of, “How to find yourself”, even if he does gives practical advice about love and relationships.

It is absolutely brilliant how he describes how we live in society, that we are ruled by our beliefs based on fear rather than love. That these beliefs feed a parasite on our emotional system causing wounds and poison.

The objective of the book is to make the reader aware and then describe a way to open the wounds with the truth and clean the wounds with forgiveness. This is the only way to heal. The more we become aware that our beliefs are based on fear leading to self-rejection, selfishness, negative self esteem, anger, guilt and possessiveness the more chance we have of changing our fundamental patterns to a belief of love.

A very convincing book. It reminds me very much of the Matrix movie. I guess in a way, just like Neo could choose which pill he could swallow, you too can choose whether you want to read this book and start to make a change.

The decision is yours.

Emotional Guidance System

I just love the EGS – Emotional Guidance System from Esther and Jerry Hicks book

Ask and it is Given : Learning to Manifest the Law of Attraction

Ask and it is Given : Learning to Manifest the Law of Attraction

It is a pretty simple and effective concept. Your emotions help guide you where you are in relation to where you want to be. So if you feel a discord or angry for example then you are simply not in line with where you want to be. Below is a scale from page 114 of the book to help you gauge where you are:

  1. Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation
  2. Passion
  3. Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness
  4. Positive Expectation/Belief
  5. Optimism
  6. Hopefulness
  7. Contentment
  8. Boredom
  9. Pessimism
  10. Frustration/Irritation/Impatience
  11. “Overwhelment”
  12. Disappointment
  13. Doubt
  14. Worry
  15. Blame
  16. Discouragement
  17. Anger
  18. Revenge
  19. Hatred/Rage
  20. Jealousy
  21. Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness
  22. Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness

The trick is to change your thoughts and try and move up the ladder of emotions. So moving from say Depression to Anger should be seen as a positive move even though people around you may not see it like that. The goal is to change your thoughts until your emotions move up the scale. Of course as challenges appear you will not stay at the top of the scale, but if you take notice of how you are feeling you can quickly correct the situation.

Great book with some fantastic tips.
