So inspiration for this post came from the discussion we had in the book reading group this morning.
And I am so excited and delighted to witness it and write. It feels so amazing when the dots join.
Before we go any further I would like to mention the dots I am talking about.
- Raise your consciousness. This message is kept on repeating in reading.
- I was in a repetitive cycle. And if you know, one keeps on repeating until they learn the lesson.
- Finally I recognise the co-passenger. Struggle and frustration of all those years come to an end with a moment of raised consciousness.
I kept on questioning myself why failure? I am done, I hate it. I don’t want it anymore. The more I hated it, the more it appeared. And that’s how the cycle begins.
Of course like all I wanted to celebrate success, I wanted to see fruits of my efforts.
Another day somebody asked me to explain the meaning of “Raise your consciousness” as it was repeating in the reading. I told her it means try to see things from different angles. Things are presented to you with purpose. Limitation in consciousness causes blockage which leads to fear and then one hits the dead zone. And that dead zone urges you to reverse the process and get out of it, then move forward.
Now coming to the ”Aha moment”. After my turn the other person shared his favourite paragraph from his book in the group. His sharing was an eye opening moment for me and I am grateful for it from the bottom of my heart. From his reading I could jot down the following.
- A best friend and lasting friend of success, Co-passenger of success is “Failure”. Yes you read it correctly.
- Failure is the manual for your success. It is so good that it won’t leave you until you listen to it because it keeps the record of mistakes done. It asks you to reverse each of them in order to reach your destination of success. It doesn’t matter how much you hate it, curse it, it won’t leave by your side. Your failure is more determined to reach success than you.
- Once you understand it, your consciousness is already expanded and raised. Now your behaviour gets changed towards failure as mine did.
I come to an understanding that I was not acknowledging this co-passenger for so long and despite my hate for it, it didn’t leave my side, that much pure it purpose is, that much love it holds for me. It was so determined to make me reach the destination of success and I was not listening out of ego, prejudice and conditioning.
When I open my arms, acknowledge it, embrace it we both are content. When my energy was focusing on failure follow up emotions were hate, frustration, cursing.
Switch happened with raised consciousness. I changed my emotions to acknowledgement, acceptance, gratitude and my energy meet success.
That’s how I learnt the mantra for success which is equal to consciousness+Emotions+Energy.
I am grateful for the learning and Raised consciousness.
