Lesson #3 assignment and a question

1.      One of the questions that was posed in the lesson was to look
at your decisions and actions and see what is your motivation in those
decisions.  For this week, especially but even the past few weeks its
been deliberately disassociating myself from people that are a drain on
me or harmful to my spirit in someway, I even had to go to court with
one of the people and will probably need to go to court to deal with
another person.

    I have been intentionally looking at different ways to meet and
connect with new people to get new people, energy and ideas flowing. 

    I also enjoyed being home and not rushing around so much since I
have the break between semesters.

2.  The assignment for this lesson was considering every day events. 
When it comes to traffic, I detest traffic and being confined within a
lot of cars primarily because people are distracted and poor and rude
drivers.  Additionally, I still suffer the health effects of having a
distracted driver run into me many years ago.  I try to set up my
schedule as much as possible to not be in the am or pm rush hours.  If
its evening rush hour already if I can I catch a happy hour meal at a
restaurant to pass the time.

    It pointed out to look at if you are getting angry at something to
remember the world is a dream and you can direct that dream.  I tried
to implement and it seems sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. 
Specifically, this past monday when I needed to go to court I was
envision an easy commute and to find a parking space directly in front
and not further away in the garage.  t worked out that it was an easy
commute but no up front space. So I know I normally try to picture my
day things like meeting someone nice and having a nice exchange of
words, finding money, finding a close parking space, making a stranger
smile by smiling at them (you know how bad the East coast isRev. Amy :
)  )

      Again, I notice that it is hit or miss and every day is not like
how I attempt to picture it or frame it.      WHAT CAN I DO BETTER HERE
IN CONTROLLING THE DREAM OF MY DAY??
Thank you again!

Lesson #2 - Dr. of Metaphysics Program

Hello Rev. Amy;

I did not see any exercises in lesson #2 but have the following feedback:

1.  The over inflated ego made me think of the people they feature on American Greed which is no CNBC since the finance stuff is my area of interest.  They all got caught by continuing their scam to long and living so extravagantly and thinking hey were too smart to get caught.

There was one man who ran Health South corporation and he had his accounting team create false numbers to thereby trade higher on the NYSE and allow them to gain more loans.  Amazing he and the other 4 accountants were arrested  they all got sentenced to jail and lost all their assets and had to make restitution but the main guy behind that escaped any charges or imprisonment.  Yet, about 7 months later he did something dumb and totally unrelated to the original matter and got sentenced to 7 years in jail. ;0

2.  Have you helped any of the so called  "rich and famous" work through these ego issues?

3.  If you want to work with higher profile people, how do you go about that?

4.  It does seem that some of the most successful and good people like how Steve Jobs was, Bill and Melinda Gates, Warren Buffet gave and give a lot to life and were always wired that way and seem to not be involved in any of the typical over indulgences that someone like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston were susceptible too.  I have difficulty understand when someone has enough money to pay for proper help they are still using drugs to cope with their problems.  If you are not really happy or cant cope with the precious of fame you don't have to keep being in the spotlight  there are ways to lower the stress and pressure and take on mentoring, producing, writing  and so forth other things so you can transition away from the high stress, of course properly managing your money and being willing to scale back in some ways would need to be put in place if its not already happening. 

5.  Is there anything else I should be thinking about from this lesson?

Thank you Rev. Amy and have a prosperous week!
