The Truth About Lies, Day 10 IM Experiment

People lie to me.  I'm not sure why.  I'm thinking that there are a variety of reasons.  But today between my meditations, I've come to realize a couple of things. I can connect with people fairly quickly.  I love creating new relationships and learning about what is important to people.  But it seems that there is a point at the end of conversation when, at times, I am being lied to.  It would be so easy it their nose grew like Pinocchio or there was a flashing light on their forehead blinking: Lie, Lie, Lie!  But here's the flash: Honesty is not easy.  It is simpler to make a promise of commitment with the intention of breaking it than to say "I'm not ready". "I'm not interested." "I don't want to."
 The original intention may not even be to lie, but circumstances, relationships, memory or time may get in the way.  Or they can't say no and don't want to hurt me. But, it's not about me. It's about them and their level of personal integrity.  Whatever the reason for them, I will not take it personally   In the meantime I'm going to look closer at everyone's nose when asking for a promise.....

If you see it, Is it real? Day 7 Meditation

I remembered today that the  last time I created an IM Statement was over a dozen years ago when I was a Mary Kay Director.  It was a novel idea to me so I created the "belief" that I drove a pink Cadillac.  I was driving a free car, but it wasn't  a Cadillac.  After a huge directors event, I went out into the parking lot, went up to my car and attempted to open the door to a beautiful brand new pink Cadillac!  My unconscious mind certainly manifested my vision, but because of circumstances, I left that company without getting that car.  Now it is a different company and a new car qualification..  That visualization appeared today during my meditation and fear set in.What if this meditation stuff is just a mind trick.  And even if I believe it, it won't become real. Then I realized that this time not only do I have an IM statement, it is loaded with feeling and I have included daily choices I make to have the outcome  really happen. This meditation stuff is powerful, it is creating past visions, internal turmoil, and new possibility.  So here is a picture of my new car.  I haven't walked up to it in a parking lot, but I am  actively making my calls to make it real.
