Contribution Trip Notes - I Manifest Responsibility

Ubud, Bali, June 28, 2007 - Today I Manifest Responsibility, insights, compassion & relatedness.
I wish to credit the Dali Lama for this posting and today's insights:

This morning I read "The Essence of Tibetian Buddhism" with my breakfast of fruit salad. When the Dali Lama was sick he said 'I have manifested illness today'. Wow, this is so great! I instantly got Responsibility as in the Landmark Education Charter at a whole deeper level: The willingness to be cause in the matter of ones's life, ultimately it is a context one chooses to live.

Cause in the Matter of one's life... Everything that shows up for me is my life and if it shows up in my life and I choose to be Responsible for my life then I also choose that it all shows up because I MANIFEST it to show up. Cause in the matter = Manifest. So great! I love this word Manifest!

So 2 or 3 days ago I manifested a sore throat then a drippy nose & some mucus in my lungs. Looking at this deeper I see that I manifested illness symptoms (I am not really ill) to stop my Strong suit of moving-on, so that I can rest & complete my internet uploading requirements; that is to be whole & complete.
From this insight I can have Compassion for my body & "self" that I manipulate myself back & forth to gratify my needs & wants for survival.

I also Manifested Raining today in order to have opportunity to breakthrough my attachment to sunny weather. So I looked at the rain newly, and the gray sky, and the exciting waterfall in the ravine, and the doves finding shelter under palm fronds. And my attachment to the sun and my complaining about the rain faded away. A relaxation, peace, and freedom arouse in its place. Then like magic, the rain subsided and the sun that had been missing for 2 days returned.

I Manifest breakdowns as opportunity for breakthroughs! Can life really be this simple & this powerful? YES, it already is (or rather you already are). But you must be Willing to be Cause in the matter of it ALL.
