I Advice - Sacred Love - Healing a Broken Heart; Part 3
So you got into debt, had problems but you got yourself back on your feet through hard work and sacrifice and how are you rewarded? A Bad Credit Rating.You would be forgiven for thinking thats not fair and why did you bother sorting yourself out if your hands are still tied when it comes to applying for anything financial? There are ways to improve your credit rating and get back on track completely.There are three basic steps to help improve your credit rating: · Dispute negative entries on your credit report· Have negative entries deleted from your credit report· Rebuild your creditThe first stage is to write to your credit bureau and detail the disputed entries on your credit report. You have thirty days in which to dispute an entry on your credit report. However, you will often find that the credit bureau takes as much time as they want. Here is a basic overview of what happens to that letter: Your letter is read by a lower-level employee who has the power to dismiss your letter or pass it on to higher powers within the credit bureau. After the investigation is complete, and the lender has not verified the disputed entry, the credit bureau will delete that entry. This negative entry can still be reinstated if verification eventually arrives. Once your dispute is accepted the derogatory entries are deleted or improved to perfect. Once they have been deleted or improved, the credit bureau will send you a notice of these changes, along with a new credit report.
The only way to describe this child is to tell you the story. We all have a psychological child within us. This child is innocent, vulnerable and wantless. This child has no age or form, yet it has all the beautiful qualities of a newborn babe. This “child like innocence” never changes. Over time, we get an impression of the world in which we live, and if things go wrong, or are not safe, we blame this child for being so vulnerable, and try to cover it or in the least, change it.
Like everyone else, there were things about my innocent child I always wanted to change. I resented that he was so soft. I was annoyed that he was clumsy and vulnerable. I was so embarrassed that he was so accident prone I blamed him for everything that went wrong, including humiliating me. It is a part of us all we want to keep secret and its different for everyone. Ironically, I was later to find out when I was doing advanced Zen, or sitting in a sweat lodge in Canada, that this “secret” part of me was my greatest strength.
The process of finding him was so easy, but what to do with him? I was in a huge divorce, I wanted my ex-wife back. I was having more ups and downs than a yoyo because I didn’t know how to look after him. That child inside, I had given to my wife and said, metaphorically, “Look after this part of me please, because it gets in the way of my career, my business, my life”.
In my counseling sessions it became obvious that I was still trying to give my child to my ex-wife. My counselor said, “Now we have met your child, maybe we can find somewhere safer for him until you are ready to look after him yourself”. She offered to be the caretaker, but this didn’t feel right for some reason. Instead I got a flash of where he wanted to be and took him to a park, a tree that I loved, and climbed that tree and sat with him. I placed my spirit high in the branches
Your colleagues are extremely interested in cold calling company presidents-like you, everybody with business savvy wants to reach the executives, quickly to close top dollar sales.In this business environment with collapsed organizational structures, the elimination of middle management, and the increased workload for executive assistants-it's even more challenging to break through to the inner-circle of decision-makers.So consider this--stop making the cold-call process more complicated (and considerably more painful) than it needs to be. Quit agonizing over the writing of pre-approach letters and searching out friends who can provide warm introductions that'll break you through, get you into the hallowed halls of the executive suites.Sure pre-approach letters and warm introductions are a good mix to add to any sales strategy-but even big time local and long distance phone companies are finally catching on to the fact that the product they market, the telephone, is the most direct, effective tool for increasing sales by leaps and bounds. Now, you don't wanna miss out on use of a proven, effective sales tool. Do you?Of course not!Here's What Sales Pros AttemptNow, this is interesting … a recent client survey revealed that most sales professionals feel pressed to accomplish a lot during a prospecting call. With each executive-level cold call most professionals take a big breath and in one, great big, run on sentence try to establish rapport by being friendly, gain credibility by giving company history, learn about the prospect with probing questions, introduce and sell products/services-all within the parameters of one brief make-it-or-break-it telephone call to the executive suite.You'll Never See It Coming, Here's WhyHere's a news flash … it can't be done! Even bigger news … this kind of approach actually signals executive assistants that you don't belong in the president's office. The assistant will simply smile, refer you down to a lower level-and you'll never know why or how you got booted down the ladder so quickly.So, let's go to the heart of the matter, take a close look at the structure of the phone call itself. In the 35 to 90 seconds that'll you'll have to spend on the telephone at the president's level you've gotta be
We withdraw from love because we expect something and don’t get it. We take offense to something, so the ego is unwilling to let you play anymore. The solution is to change our expectation, to knock down DE fence, but instead the ego takes offence.
In the American football game there are the defensive and the offensive groups within each team. The offensive group attack and try to score points. Now that is the game of football. But in relationships, there are different rules. For every point you gain, you lose another. Balance means neutral scores.
Taking offence means that someone has upset something in your ego and you are reacting to it. Now consider this, maybe they are right, but you just don’t want to admit it.
If you are accused by your lover of some crime or ill doing, and can say, “Yes, I am capable of that and worthy of love for it”, you will pass the whole journey of growth back to your lover.
Truth in Love
Honesty, they cry
Honesty they cry
But really they mean conformity
they ask for honesty
But condemn anything that doesn’t fit their expectations.
Is that honest?
Our expectations?
Maybe the first honesty is admitting
That everything we know
Is a lie.
Nature’s law pervades every walk of life so it is not specifically what you think that matters; it is how you think that makes the difference. You must change how you think from one-sided learning (causes depression) to balanced thinking (causes love).
Most business power and success comes from lies, or at least the ability not to tell the truth. Secrets. Telling lies means withholding the truth, and therefore holding great power. So, in your relationship, if you want great power, then its best to withhold the truth, not reveal your emotions, blame your partner and tell lies. This is a very powerful way to approach relationship, and a perfect way to prevent vulnerability.
But if you want love. Well that’s a different story. Love means naked, raw, honest, exposed, vulnerability. I hear people say, “I need to trust before I become vulnerable” and that is a horrible lie. The only person you need to trust in being vulnerable is you. Shame makes us worry about trust. Why would we be holding back anything if it weren’t for shame. Shame means we are not worthy of love, therefore, we can’t trust ourselves being open and natural and vulnerable. So we seek out people with the same ego issues and open up to them, only because they agree that we are victims.
Remember as a child you’d put your hands up to your face, and because you couldn’t see people, you automatically thought they couldn’t see you. My daughter did this all the time when she was being reprimanded for playing up. She’d just put her little open palms in front of her eyes and disappear, as far she was concerned, into nowhere. This made me realise how easy it is to shame someone in the process of helping them learn.
Power comes from lies. Love comes from truth. Power comes from not revealing who we are. Love comes from vulnerability. Most people don’t know how to love. So they ask for ego backup instead. They go looking for ego support, “Oh, yes, you poor man, she was such a nasty thing, now lets process her, so you feel well”. If you want to waste your entire life in therapy, and finding equally deluded friends who are emotionally inept, then holding back is perfect. However, it is not love, and certainly not the food for sacred relationship.
In my relationships, I am very honest. Right up front. If I am falling in love with someone else I speak out. If I am finished in the old relationship, I speak out. This is not enjoyable for either person, but it is love. Since my marriage more than 20 years ago, I have tried to be honest in my relationships. Sometimes people say I lie. I must. Sometimes I tell the truth, but the person just doesn’t want to hear it. They say, “No, that’s not how you feel” but it is. I believe that lovers come together with love, they process emotions as part of their growth in love, they stay together in a relationship because their dreams overlap, and they stay together in love whether they admit it or not.
Truth is an powerless, raw, vulnerable experience. Emotions reveal a lot of truth. Truth of emotions is not “the truth”, it is “your truth”. So, “your truth” can become food for growth for both you and your partner.
Some people tell the truth because they are guilty and want to get the guilt off their chest. That is not telling the truth, it is passing the buck. If you are carrying guilt you are far wiser to process that guilt until there is love. Then share. But passing your guilt to your partner turns to their pain and not your pain. This is really messed up.
In a relationship, things happen that you are not proud of. But everything is worthy of love. So you can come to love for yourself no matter what happened. You need to keep an open heart to your partner if they share truth. That means you may both have some work to do if there is news that comes out unexpectedly. But everything is worthy of love. The Lies
My eyes, can lie, any actor knows this.
My words are constructed, all children perfect it.
My heart is manipulative, loneliness guarantees the compromise.
My hopes are ever changing, because my world is too
My past is irrelevant, although I may carry it as a burden
My Love is my own, I cannot love you more than me
My soul is intangible; any attempt to personalise it is the Ego trying to survive
Who am I even when you know me?
Are you really ever able to know me other than to fit me into a box and say,
"Ah, he's one of them!"
Even if I do fit that box, have you really got to know me, or just a part?
If you really want to get to know me, your Ego needs to die.
Are you ready for that?
Are you ready to dissolve all your judgments
of who you should and shouldn’t be, and all your anger and bitterness from your past?
I challenge you in this book, to try it.
I suspect, that if you are looking for love,
but can’t really open to it, then something from the past is hindering your truth
Lying is the exact same behavior. We think that if we shut up, keep a secret, or put up a story to cover something, we are behind a shield, and can’t get caught. It’s like dressing a pig in an Armani suit and wondering why people are suspicious. Lies deceive the willing, but only on the surface. Deep down, people know. Consciously or unconsciously, they know. And they extract a huge retribution.
A person who is lying arouses suspicion. Now the accusations might be completely off target, but the suspicion is absolutely valid. For example, lets imagine that you take a phone call at the office from your ex and you enjoy a few moments reminiscing about the past, almost flirting, as you both fantasise about some amazingly romantic experience you had. Now, not everyone has a partner who is aware enough to understand that these things are normal. So you get home, and discretion being the better part of valor, you keep it under your chest.
Then your partner says, “What’s wrong?” and you say, “Nothings wrong, why does something always have to be wrong?” and they say, “You just don’t seem yourself tonight” and then you say, “Would you get off my back, don’t you trust me or something?” and then your partner says, “Yes, I mean no, yes, I trust you, but you seem strange”. It starts to escalate and the result is they start to withdraw. So, you lied (or kept a secret) because you feared their reaction, and now they are in reaction, not because of what you did, but because you lied to hide what you did. Like a child you thought that by keeping a secret, putting your words up in front of your face, that people can’t see you, but they can. And more importantly, so can you.
Nobody can lie to you more than you. If you don’t want to know that someone is lying you’ll deny your intuitions. On the other side, you’ll need to know that the intuition is always right in energy, but rarely right in form. Now this can save you a lot of heartache. If you accuse your partner of having an affair, you are expressing your greatest fear, and by the laws of nature you’ll cause it.
The spirit of the inner child
One of the most impactful healing experiences in my entire life was in counseling after my marriage break up where I learned about my inner child, or in another language, my spirit. After 12 months getting to trust the process of counseling, my counselor helped me find something quite amazing. There, underneath my manhood, was a rejected child.
The only way to describe this child is to tell you the story. We all have a psychological child within us. This child is innocent, vulnerable and wantless. This child has no age or form, yet it has all the beautiful qualities of a newborn babe. This “child like innocence” never changes.

Every day, there are people that pay a lot of money to learn the secrets behind work from home data entry.There's a lot of glamour in the work from home data entry business: you get to make your own hours, work in your slippers, and take on as many projects as you like (therefore making as much money as you want). However, at the end, it all comes down to individual effort.For every five people who purchase work from home data entry programs, there are probably four who end up failing.There's a lot of reasoning behind this. First of all, because work from home data entry comes with such a negative connotation, people might not see results right away and then decide that they were "scammed". Of course, this is the case some of the time – but there are some legitimate programs out there.Another reason is that people might not give work from home data entry a real effort. A lot of people – not just in work from home data entry, but in many aspects of life – see obstacles and give up.Work from home data entry can be very financially rewarding, but as more and more people enter into the field, it's important for one to work a little harder in order to stand out amongst the other workers. Luckily, working harder still isn't hard work when it comes to work from home data entry.Yet another possibility is that it's very easy to lose discipline when working by and for yourself. It's easy to start watching TV, heading over to YouTube, etc… so focus is absolutely imperative in order to succeed with work from home data entry.Overall, it's very easy to prosper with data entry – in fact, it's been advertised that anybody with a sixth grade education could do it. The bottom line, though, is that to do really well, one needs to stay positive and focused.

Self publishers use all their articles and content in the following four ways to ensure that they generate loads of traffic for their web sites and blogs.a) Leading self publishers usually carefully research the right non-competitive popular keywords to use in their content to attract huge targeted free traffic from search engines. It is not always easy to get the right keywords but this is one skill where practice and experience makes perfect. Just remember that it is well worth the effort to spend hours looking for that single keyword that will guarantee you thousands of hits over the next few months and maybe for years to come.b) The second way in which high traffic self publishers use articles is by posting them at some very specific high traffic article directories where ezine publishers and webmasters frequent in search of free useful content. With the help of a good resource box at the bottom of the article, this is an ideal way of generating a lot of traffic almost immediately.c) Thirdly, smart self publishers regularly get a very different kind of article written, called a link-baiting article. This is usually a controversial article attacking a popular opinion (or a leading blogger’s view) on a hot subject. Done skillfully and in good taste, a link baiting article or post is capable of generating a colossal amount of links in only a few hours or days, pointing at your site or blog. Apart from the surge in traffic you will enjoy, the high number of links will dramatically improve your ranking with search engines and help you generate even more traffic.d) And finally a smart self publisher will not forget to use their articles and content to build an opt-in email list as quickly as possible. Some people make substantial online profits using nothing else but their opt-in email lists with about 5,000 names. An opt-in email list is gold to any self publsiher.
Some people tell the truth because they are guilty and want to get the guilt off their chest. That is not telling the truth, it is passing the buck. If you are carrying guilt you are far wiser to process that guilt until there is love. Then share. But passing your guilt to your partner turns to their pain and not your pain. This is really messed up.
In a relationship, things happen that you are not proud of. But everything is worthy of love. So you can come to love for yourself no matter what happened. You need to keep an open heart to your partner if they share truth. That means you may both have some work to do if there is news that comes out unexpectedly. But everything is worthy of love.

A person who is lying arouses suspicion. Now the accusations might be completely off target, but the suspicion is absolutely valid. For example, lets imagine that you take a phone call at the office from your ex and you enjoy a few moments reminiscing about the past, almost flirting, as you both fantasise about some amazingly romantic experience you had. Now, not everyone has a partner who is aware enough to understand that these things are normal. So you get home, and discretion being the better part of valor, you keep it under your chest.
Then your partner says, “What’s wrong?” and you say, “Nothings wrong, why does something always have to be wrong?” and they say, “You just don’t seem yourself tonight” and then you say, “Would you get off my back, don’t you trust me or something?” and then your partner says, “Yes, I mean no, yes, I trust you, but you seem strange”. It starts to escalate and the result is they start to withdraw. So, you lied (or kept a secret) because you feared their reaction, and now they are in reaction, not because of what you did, but because you lied to hide what you did. Like a child you thought that by keeping a secret, putting your words up in front of your face, that people can’t see you, but they can. And more importantly, so can you.
Nobody can lie to you more than you. If you don’t want to know that someone is lying you’ll deny your intuitions. On the other side, you’ll need to know that the intuition is always right in energy, but rarely right in form. Now this can save you a lot of heartache. If you accuse your partner of having an affair, you are expressing your greatest fear, and by the laws of nature you’ll cause it.
The spirit of the inner child
One of the most impactful healing experiences in my entire life was in counseling after my marriage break up where I learned about my inner child, or in another language, my spirit. After 12 months getting to trust the process of counseling, my counselor helped me find something quite amazing. There, underneath my manhood, was a rejected child.
The only way to describe this child is to tell you the story. We all have a psychological child within us. This child is innocent, vulnerable and wantless. This child has no age or form, yet it has all the beautiful qualities of a newborn babe. This “child like innocence” never changes. Over time, we get an impression of the world in which we live, and if things go wrong, or are not safe, we blame this child for being so vulnerable, and try to cover it or in the least, change it.
Like everyone else, there were things about my innocent child I always wanted to change. I resented that he was so soft. I was annoyed that he was clumsy and vulnerable. I was so embarrassed that he was so accident prone I blamed him for everything that went wrong, including humiliating me. It is a part of us all we want to keep secret and its different for everyone. Ironically, I was later to find out when I was doing advanced Zen, or sitting in a sweat lodge in Canada, that this “secret” part of me was my greatest strength.
The process of finding him was so easy, but what to do with him? I was in a huge divorce, I wanted my ex-wife back. I was having more ups and downs than a yoyo because I didn’t know how to look after him. That child inside, I had given to my wife and said, metaphorically, “Look after this part of me please, because it gets in the way of my career, my business, my life”.
In my counseling sessions it became obvious that I was still trying to give my child to my ex-wife. My counselor said, “Now we have met your child, maybe we can find somewhere safer for him until you are ready to look after him yourself”. She offered to be the caretaker, but this didn’t feel right for some reason. Instead I got a flash of where he wanted to be and took him to a park, a tree that I loved, and climbed that tree and sat with him. I placed my spirit high in the branches

Instead I got a flash of where he wanted to be and took him to a park, a tree that I loved, and climbed that tree and sat with him. I placed my spirit high in the branches of a tree. To be safe, nurtured and cared for.
It was the beginning of my spiritual path. I suddenly knew the difference between being in the world but not of it. There was something precious, my essence, I couldn’t change, fix, modify, use, sell, entertain. I found my spirit, my inner child. The next few years were spent getting to know him, learning to love him. Suddenly there was a quietness to life. Suddenly, there was a beautiful awareness, that if my child was safe, I could go anywhere I chose, I was free to be content in the world without a lover to make me so.
This spirit sits inside every human, an inner child. To connect with this spirit, go and pick up a child in your arms under the age of three. Let them fall asleep in your arms. And in those moments when they are just closing their eyes, feel that beautiful energy that comes from them. Just when their little ego stops struggling to have more ice cream, or more milk, or more toys, or more something, just when they really stop wanting, there is the spirit of the child. This is the child within. The spirit.
A sacred relationship is one in which this child is shared with someone. It must be welcomed. It must be safe in your arms and then safe in your lover’s arms. This child is not a playful, fun, creative child. It is a sleeping beauty that gets awakened with a kiss. It is a simple stillness that feels tender and gentle, wants for nothing, feels content in your arms and feels safe with your lover.
The ego is built to cover that child (spirit), the ego is built to change it, eradicate the vulnerability of it. The ego is built to be in the world without that child. We learn tricks like giving that vulnerability away by handing your inner child to someone, “Look after this for me while I go off to work”. This is the conventional way to have a relationship, but it makes relationships sick. And hiding that child, to make it safe from your lover, is even sicker. It is really just judging your own worthiness for love. Your spirit, your inner child, is what makes you complete. It doesn’t need anything except for you to love it, to want it, and it doesn’t deserve to be handed over. There is nothing your spirit has done or not done that isn’t worthy of love.
When I do a consultation with a person, I always meet them first for an interview. If I cannot hear their child’s voice within, I cannot give guidance. It doesn’t matter if that person cannot hear what is going on within them, but if I can’t feel that child, that spirit within, then I cannot hear the truth that is being blocked.
After some more months in counseling, I went back to that park, I climbed up into that tree (I was 34), and placed that little spirit, deep into my heart. As I did he woke, he smiled, and from that day to now, he has guided my life, every step. I won’t type a keynote without his presence inside me (I never put him on display), I share his happiness with everyone I meet. I keep him space from those who would not understand his beauty and I never, never, give him away. Never again.
When I travel to Nepal I sit on the top of dream mountain. A place where I believe any dream that begins from and includes the inner child, comes true. I take my child everywhere I go, and here on this mountain, he sings. He sings to the angels from whom he came, he sings of love and sunshine. He is my angel, he is my love, never lonely while I am with him.
I take clients to this home in the clouds, and by the time they reach this place they are ready. Their child speaks, their heart opens, and their dreams are known. This vision quest isn’t a formal thing. The spirit sings from here, on the highest mountains, and all the world hears the echo. On this mountain in Nepal, dream mountain, our spirit surfaces and the ego steps aside.
Think of what you dislike or hate most about yourself. Now think about your childhood, and if this part of you always caused you to suffer. You will begin to know your inner child. It is the most precious pearl. Nature wrapped this special secret inside a package for safe keeping, wrapped it so well to protect it, to soften its hardships, nature wrapped it in your ego. Are you ready to open the gift?
A precious pearl
Treat this wonderful spirit within you, this child, as the precious pearl. Value it, more than your life, more than anything. Feel the beauty of it, know that it is not frail, just recognise how precious it is. Grown from the belly of a shell, deep in the ocean, from a single grain of sand. Your spirit. It wants nothing, needs nothing, and therefore has everything.
Now, unwrap it from that silk cloth you call protection. Remove the coverings, and another, and another. Get past the idea that someone wants to steal it, unwrap another layer again. Learn to care for it, find a safe place to keep it. Find a place to keep this spirit within you and make a promise that where you go, she or he comes with you, and if it is not there, you are not there. It’s not a burden carrying it around, so don’t hand it to someone.
The ego, the guardian of your inner self does a beautiful job. It makes you safe, wraps you in protection. It guards against everything. It learns to expect the best and worst, it begins to preempt what will happen, it expects and projects itself into the future. It is the master of prediction.
Your inner spirit does not fear, you do. Your inner child is not wrong or stupid, you are. There is nothing that can damage it, nothing you can change. Nothing can hurt your inner self; nothing can hurt your love. Only your ego can be damaged. There is nothing that can hurt your inner spirit. Only the wrapping can be hurt.
And isn’t that what you want? To undo the wrapping and fall in love again. Can you see there is nothing to fear but fear itself. There is nothing to protect, it was a learning, and now there can be an unlearning.
That is always the great discovery of self-help. In the end, there is no self to help. There is only love.
To bring "light" back into the heart
Contemplating the meanings of the revealed books of the sacred traditions, and the words of the saints, since these perform an action upon the heart, removing its illusions, healing its ills, restoring its strength.
The same function can be served by inspired art, literature, and music, which also perform an action upon us. Another cure for the heart is keeping one's stomach empty. Any excess of food hardens the heart.
Fasting is the opposite of the subtle and not so subtle addictions with which we numb ourselves to the experience of heart. When through fasting we expose the heart's pain to ourselves, we become more emotionally vulnerable and honest. And then, can the heart be healed.
Prayer before sunrise is a powerful inspiration. In these early morning hours the activity of the world has been reduced to its minimum, the psychic atmosphere has become still, and we are more able to reach the depths of concentration upon our own conscious.
Finally, keeping company with "heart" people can restore faith and health to the heart.
It is only a matter of degree to move from the ailing heart to the purified heart.
Centre yourself and all your attention in the reality of divine love, which has the power to unify our fragmented being and reconnect us with unity at all levels of existence.
Minimising your psychological distortions by over coming the slavery of your attractions, and seeing beyond the veil of selfishness -
Then, in that state, we may discover a deep receptivity a spiritual presence within. When we can centre ourselves and our attention on the presence of divine reality, we not only become unified within ourselves, we recognise our unity with all of life. This is the unifying function of the heart. Knowing Love.
