Right!
This is Me-Who-Does-Not-Write-at-Night doing it yet again! That’s all Nat’lie’s fault! I swear that woman could get words out of a turnip. Speaking of words, did you know she said she doesn’t use the word, “spiritual?” Interesting, isn’t it?
Well, the writing at night is partly to Nat’lie’s credit, but the lion’s share of the thanks for how I notice that Every Time I Turn Around Something Goes Right goes to the Anti-Guru, Steven Sashen, www.sashen.com/blog, for teaching me some really stupid obvious questions and thought-experiments and IAM Meditations, and stuff I call “The Shampoo Method – Lather, Rinse, Repeat.”
A lot of things have been changing for me this past month. I don’t remember ever being quite this clear or asking myself quite this many questions in quite the same way.
I’m asking questions about things I thought I’d never.
So far, I have questioned the following and found big whopping lies:
- Feng Shui
- Astrology
- Something can be “meant to be.”
- I/we/people are here to “grow” or “learn.”
- I/we/people should have a “purpose.”
- I/we/people can “do it wrong.”
- I/we/people have “blocks” we need to “overcome.”
- Anything Eckhart Tolle wrote.
- In fact, most spiritual books I ever read are full of lies just like the ones above.
- Even . . . drum roll here . . . A Course in Miracles
Now, the books all brush past the truth in one way or another, but in order to sell, they seem to all include so many ideas that just don’t hold water.
In a slightly more personal vein, I’ve discovered that, contrary to prior (sometimes very loud and insistent) advertisment to the contrary . . . I am someone who . . .
- Writes at night.
- Has money in the bank.
- Knows how to “make” money.
- Can create a business.
- Can market herself and her services.
- Can wisely choose when to spend and when not to spend.
- Doesn’t need a “support group” or a “teacher” to know what to do.
- Doesn’t need to “talk before I know what I’m thinking.”
- CAN think in spatial terms and doesn’t always have to convert pictures to words. (That was a huge . . . something . . . I started to say “shock,” then I tried to say “surprise,” then I realized that it had been obvious all along and I’d been totally missing the obvious.)
In fact, let me take that out of parenthesis.
IT HAS ALL BEEN VERY, VERY OBVIOUS!!!
In addition, I . . .
- Moved out of a home I wasn’t comfortable in.
- Moved into a home I am far more comfortable in.
- Sold a car that was difficult and uncomfortable.
- Am in the process of buying a car that is easy and comfortable.
- Not in a relationship right now, which is far better than being in one I don’t want!
Now please don’t imagine there was anything “wrong” with my prior home, car or relationships. Paradoxically, there’s not. I loved that old 83 Toyota Corolla – green astroturf dashboard and all! I loved the old roommate, the house, the cats, the times I had there. And I most certainly have loved all my relationships prior to now.
I cannot explain what this feels like. It’s a You’d Have to Have Been There. But that’s why I’m writing this. Piggy back on my experience, get a taste of this reality, try the Shampoo Methods. Read the Page on “Shampoo Method Instructions.”
Some of you reading this, whether you know me or not, are thinking, “Yeah, so?”
Well, that’s true. At the same time, it has changed everything.
I’ve been RePairing Opposites left and right. Err . . . 😉 (If you don’t know why that is hilarious, read the technique in any of the blogs or over in the sidebar under “Shampoo Method Instructions.”
Seriously. For example, I RePaired “going after things” vs. “things coming to me.” And now, nearly every time I think “I can’t . . . blah blah blah” I have to check the other side of it, “I can. . . . blah blah blah.”
I’ve noticed that the following Turn Arounds are TRUER than my original lies (which I leave to the reader’s astute guesses):
- I’m a person who can start a business.
- I don’t get paid any more for being stressed while I’m working.
- I can do math in my head.
- I can tell what to spend my money on (This doesn’t mean that it always has a predictable outcome. It just means I can make a choice in places I was very, very unconscious.)
- Astrology disconnects me from my intuition.
- I don’t know how much money I’ll make this year, starting today. . . it hasn’t happened yet!
As far as money (and a lot of things) goes, I noticed that it really is a game! God, how many years have I been reading this and thinking I understood? That is not the same as understanding! For me, it’s like I haven’t been making straight A’s in something when all I have to do is go to do the homework. It’s not hard! It’s easy!
I feel like I’m Teflon to lies and misperceptions, and I’m kinda blissed out on it.
Try it. You’ll like it. Or maybe not. 🙂
Love, Ann

Trust me. You want to try this. The IAM Meditations are the product of the fertile mind of Steven Sashen who is also responsible for much of the Shampoo Method we talk about here every day.
It’s completely safe. I’d trust this guy with my life.
This feeling, this is what we have all been looking for our whole lives. It’s like coming home.
Love, Ann

March 2, 2006
For 2 years, I’ve been experiencing Neptune opposing natal Moon. My astrologer tells me this is a time when other people are likely to project their dark side onto me. She talked about the Dark Moon Lillith. I’ve seen this quite a bit in my personal circles already, as one friend and then another stopped contact because of their own fear projected onto me. For me the only real problem is that we didn’t talk it through to the other side. I know we can.
In taking on the blog, in preparation for writing the book, I am actively participating in that projection process and using it for my growth and for teaching purposes.
It occurs to me that this can show up anywhere. I know that sometimes my very being, as someone who has grappled with my issues with my father, can unconsciously (or consciously) trigger others with similar issues. Sometimes it’s my sexuality. Sometimes it’s my living circumstances.
It’s an interesting edge to walk. I obviously took this challenge on for this lifetime and I’m open to input. Many friends stayed and deepened in this process. Will you?
