Below, for your convenience, a brief review of Chapter 19.
You will be the victim in any relationship for only as long
as you continue to agree to play the role of victim in that alliance
--Darel RutherfordWe can never have what we want from life, until
we're ready to give up our attachment to not having it.
--Darel RutherfordThe Cycle: The Roadmap For the Rest of your Life
This is only one inning, not the whole Game
Our problem in playing the Game of Life is that we pay each round as if it were the whole game when, in fact, it's only one inning in an endless game. We get upset when we're forced to face the fact that we don't really have it "made in the shade" now that we've reached our goal.
We get stuck, because we lack an overview that would allow us to see the HAVING part of the BE DO HAVE process as the end of an inning, not the end of the game.
A new perspective will allow us to see that HAVING what we want has no real value compared to the growth in consciousness that results from each new trip around the game board. Wanting to be richer and happier is our motivation for moving to the next level of the game. Choosing to BE rich is no something about which you need to feel guilty.
One of the most interesting and misunderstood passages of the bible is the one that reads:
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
--Darel RutherfordSince a camel could not possibly go through the eye of a needle, most of us interpret that bible passage to mean that you can't be rich and go to heaven. But that's not what it means at all.
Back when Christ said this, most cities had an inner and outer wall. The inner wall had an opening shaped like the eye of a needle--an opening too small for a loaded camel to pass through. To take his favorite camel into the inner city for the night, the rich man was forced to unload it. Notice that unloading his riches outside the wall did not make him poor.
The load on YOUR camel
It you think rich people are the only ones with a loaded came, think again. Metaphorically speaking, whatever you've become attached to--your job, a relationship, your way of life, your victim story--that's the load on your camel's back. Whatever you've made more important than being free and out of your box is your wealth. What that bible quote should mean to you is:
To find that greater dimension of your own being,
you must first unload your camel.
--Darel RutherfordAs I said earlier,
You will never have what you want from life, until
you're ready to give up your attachment to not having it.
--Darel RutherfordHave you realized that you are attached to not having it?
The Cycle of CREATE PERSIST DESTROY really is the road map for the rest of your life. The sooner you become aware of where you are on the cycle, the sooner you can take charge of your life.
