Self - Responsibility March 5, 2009

 

Posted by wellnesscatalyst in Aquarian Age, inspirational message.

 

Sat Nam,

 

In the Aquarian Age we are all being called to take responsibility for

everything we create in our reality with our thoughts, words and emotions. Here

is an inspirational article on one healer that took that teaching to heart:

 

 

The World's Most Unusual Therapist

by Dr. Joe Vitale

 

Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a complete ward of

criminally insane patients–without ever seeing any of them. The psychologist

would study an inmate's chart and then look within himself to see how he created

that person's illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved.

 

When I first heard this story, I thought it was an urban legend. How could

anyone heal anyone else by healing himself? How could even the best

self-improvement master cure the criminally insane?

 

It didn't make any sense. It wasn't logical, so I dismissed the story.

 

However, I heard it again a year later. I heard that the therapist had used a

Hawaiian healing process called ho `oponopono. I had never heard of it, yet I

couldn't let it leave my mind. If the story was at all true, I had to know more.

 

I had always understood " total responsibility " to mean that I am responsible for

what I think and do. Beyond that, it's out of my hands. I think that most people

think of total responsibility that way. We're responsible for what we do, not

what anyone else does. The Hawaiian therapist who healed those mentally ill

people would teach me an advanced new perspective about total responsibility.

 

His name is Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. … he worked at Hawaii State Hospital for

four years. That ward where they kept the criminally insane was dangerous.

 

Dr. Len told me that he never saw patients. He agreed to have an office and to

review their files. While he looked at those files, he would work on himself. As

he worked on himself, patients began to heal.

 

" After a few months, patients that had to be shackled were being allowed to walk

freely, " he told me. " Others who had to be heavily medicated were getting off

their medications. And those who had no chance of ever being released were being

freed. "

 

I was in awe.

 

This is where I had to ask the million dollar question: " What were you doing

within yourself that caused those people to change? "

 

" I was simply healing the part of me that created them, " he said.

 

I didn't understand.

 

Dr. Len explained that total responsibility for your life means that everything

in your life - simply because it is in your life–is your responsibility. In a

literal sense the entire world is your creation.

 

Whew. This is tough to swallow. Being responsible for what I say or do is one

thing. Being responsible for what everyone in my life says or does is quite

another. Yet, the truth is this: if you take complete responsibility for your

life, then everything you see, hear, taste, touch, or in any way experience is

your responsibility because it is in your life.

 

This means that terrorist activity, the president, the economy–anything you

experience and don't like–is up for you to heal. They don't exist, in a manner

of speaking, except as projections from inside you. The problem isn't with them,

it's with you, and to change them, you have to change you.

 

I asked Dr. Len how he went about healing himself. What was he doing, exactly,

when he looked at those patients' files?

 

" I just kept saying, `I'm sorry' and `I love you' over and over again, " he

explained.

 

That's it?

 

That's it.

 

Turns out that loving yourself is the greatest way to improve yourself, and as

you improve yourself, your improve your world. Let me give you a quick example

of how this works: one day, someone sent me an email that upset me. In the past

I would have handled it by working on my emotional hot buttons or by trying to

reason with the person who sent the nasty message. This time, I decided to try

Dr. Len's method. I kept silently saying, " I'm sorry " and " I love you, " I didn't

say it to anyone in particular. I was simply evoking the spirit of love to heal

within me what was creating the outer circumstance.

 

Within an hour I got an e-mail from the same person. He apologized for his

previous message. Keep in mind that I didn't take any outward action to get that

apology. I didn't even write him back. Yet, by saying " I love you, " I somehow

healed within me what was creating him.

 

He praised my book, The Attractor Factor. He told me that as I improve myself,

my book's vibration will raise, and everyone will feel it when they read it. In

short, as I improve, my readers will improve.

 

" What about the books that are already sold and out there? " I asked.

 

" They aren't out there, " he explained, once again blowing my mind with his

mystic wisdom. " They are still in you. "

 

In short, there is no out there.

 

Suffice it to say that whenever you want to improve anything in your life,

there's only one place to look: inside you.

 

" When you look, do it with love. "

Yes, I concur! A great article that touches on many cornerstones of

(self)perception and our ability to activate change in our world.

 

Since I read this 1 week ago, I've actively & passively incorporated the basic

parts of this self-healing into my self-correcting meditations, and also to help

heal others.

 

By using the mantras of " I'm Sorry " and " I Love You " , (as well as my other

favorite; " Thank You " ) whenever I find my mind racing off track or obsessing

over something, and I've found that immediately that it helps quiet down my mind

and expand my heart-centered sensitivity both during meditations, outside of

sadhana, and during daily emotional events/reactions.

 

I've also incorporated parts of that same feeling into my meditative space with

Sat Nam Rasayan, which has led to a deeper healing space, which I applied to

several remote healing sessions of a friend with great results.

 

So far, I see no limits of how much you can apply this to yourself on a

practical level.

 

As far as the metaphysical implications †" that there is " no reality " outside

of ourselves, and no " out there " , I think that's a subject for another

discussion that will probably occupy much of my time with my friends, family and

other (Yogi/life)philosophers!

 

Thanks for sharing!
