I'm not totally on board with the way it's presented in this concept, but I'm picturing something a little different, like this: if we are one consciousness (taking personality / individuality / ego out of the equation), when we begin to heal the consciousness where the pain exists, then it IS healed. If there is one universal substance that we are all made of, then wherever I am able to bring forth more wholeness by allowing more of God through, then it does bring real healing because we are all part of the same fabric. But I also believe that your soul and your subconscious have to accept the healing. If I could just pray things for you and have them come true, that would be like voodoo, not God - I believe the person on the receiving end has to be spiritually receptive for it to work. That's my 2 cents on this month's project. <BR/><BR/>I really enjoy hearing what others have to say. I love our spirituality discussions here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-17747676820522719112008-02-19T11:54:00.000-06:002008-02-19T11:54:00.000-06:00Dawn - as we have worked the prosperity project ov...Dawn - as we have worked the prosperity project over that last year and a half, there have been a number of techniques that didn't quite resonate with me... that's part of of the idea behind what we are doing here. It's an experiment. <BR/><BR/>It's perfectly OK for you to be in disagreement with the technique... and when that happens, you can just disregard the parts that don't resonate, and implement the aspects that do.<BR/><BR/>If you approach each day saying to yourself - and only to yourself: I love you, please forgive me. That still constitutes "working the project." If you disagree totally with everything that's posted, it's perfectly OK to log on and say what's on your mind.<BR/><BR/>Some of our most interesting and illuminating discussions have been triggered from our discontent with various aspects of a specific project. So, don't be shy about saying what you really think! Even if we disagree with you, we will still love and respect you, and we will have enjoyed the dialogue.Shirley Twofeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911925862486389242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-62730617388363290102008-02-19T11:15:00.000-06:002008-02-19T11:15:00.000-06:00Hope this motivates you.

I have been thinking of him while doing ho'oponopono for the last couple of days. Today he told me he was going to the health club and has to do something more than sit around and feel sorry for himself. It is a start, and I think a rather large on. I am going to keep thinking of him in my thoughts as well as me and any other person who enters my thoughts as I continue this process. I am inspired!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-81295512658799776942008-02-19T08:18:00.000-06:002008-02-19T08:18:00.000-06:00Sorry everyone in advance for what I'm about to po...Sorry everyone in advance for what I'm about to post. I wish I could be on board with this month's project... I was really excited about working on "love". But this hoponopono is just not ringing true to me. In fact, I think it is harmful in a lot of ways to people's perceptions of themselves and the world around us. <BR/><BR/>I don't believe that I am responsible for my brother's pain, but I believe I'm responsible to help him through it. In taking on the responsibility of everyone and everything around me, I am devaluing myself. There are some good points in the thought process- like the idea that our past negative experiences and memories carry into our energy today. That's certainly true. If we can recognize that and let it go, we will allow ourselves the lightness of truley living in God's love and the open ourselves up to the beauty that life can promise. <BR/><BR/>I think, healing ourselves is a beautiful and responsible thing, but not the way that it's conceptualized in this thought/technique. Everyday, we should be saying Thankyou, I love you, Please forgive me to ourselves- about ourselves. <BR/><BR/>I'll keep reading the posts and trying to take the positive from this month's project. I like some of the comments that have been posted and feel inspired to know that it's working for others. <BR/><BR/>My heart is full of love and I enthusiastically say, thank you, I love you, and please forgive me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-62304399746237546942008-02-18T20:02:00.000-06:002008-02-18T20:02:00.000-06:00Thanks Two Feathers, I like the "Please forgive me...Thanks Two Feathers, I like the "Please forgive me" so much better! I refused to say the "I'm sorry" because of the whole I AM statement - God is not "sorry", as in a "sorry mess" or a "sorry being" or a "sorry state of affairs" or any other "sorry" I can think of, and neither am I!! - so I cannot in good conscience affirm the "I am sorry" of this exercise. Instead I've been saying "I forgive you and I forgive myself" and then sending the person love and seeing us both enfolded in love and light. I like the "Please forgive me" too - that works for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-50558677881410985272008-02-18T09:58:00.000-06:002008-02-18T09:58:00.000-06:00I made an interesting discovery. "Please forgive ...I made an interesting discovery. "Please forgive me," feels much cleaner... much better than "I'm sorry." And, actually, isn't it better to avoid I AM statements that don't reflect what we absolutely want? Do I want to go around "being sorry" all the time? I don't think so. I want to go around being "peaceful" or "centered" or "happy" or "inspired" or "wonderful" or "wise"... I want to be "forgiving" and I want to be "forgiven." <BR/><BR/>So, I've been practicing... <BR/><BR/>Thank you!<BR/>I love you!<BR/>Please forgve me.<BR/>and again...<BR/>Thank you!Shirley Twofeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911925862486389242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-38048854124591377572008-02-18T08:51:00.000-06:002008-02-18T08:51:00.000-06:00Okay so I loved this also, especially the chair an...Okay so I loved this also, especially the chair and table part.

And I did contemplate cutting it into parts but that didn't feel right, so I said to myself. "They (meaning you guys) love me and they will forgive me!"<BR/><BR/>So... enjoy!<BR/><BR/>My <EM>Uhane</EM> is taking my <EM>Unihipili</EM> to bed now! Love to you all.
