Under The Oaks with Oprah and Gary Zukav

Notes from the show:

Oprah-

Intention- most important chapter of Gary's book, Seat of the Soul- how it rules her life and work- cause and effect   intention is the cause

Gary-

You are powerful, creative,  compassionate, loving  spirit. If you aren't that yet it is the journey you must make to be that.
Intention- A quality of consciousness you bring to a deed. (the why beneath the why) - the energy behind the motivation will determine the effect

Oprah-p 37
Conflicts of a human's life are directly proportional to the distance at which an energy of personality exists separate from the soul.

When a personality is in full balance you can not see where it ends and the soul begins- that is a whole human being


Gary
Personality and the Soul
personality- FEAR obsessions, addictions, attachments, painful, can't stop the self talk- why people medicate- to stop the pain. Not feeling what you need to feel  Emotional awareness is needed.. it is powerlessness, feeling unlovable, don't belong, alone, flawed

personality good- GRATITUDE- loving

Karma


Everything you throw up comes down and affects you- hits you- makes you more thoughtful of what you throw in the air.
Karma or golden rule - we are creators

Oprah- from color purple - "Everything you tried to do to me is already done to you"

Give to the world what you want to receive back from it- not necessarily from that person

karmic debt will take care of itself. you don't need to take on the rule of judge and jury or it will create negative karma for yourself.

no other way can create changes as profound as learning lessons from your action. Authentic power is when you open yourself and everything based in fear falls away.

How to apply the principles

when in bad, frustrating situation is the time to learn. instead of acting out in the moment go inward. choose consciously. choose lovingly perhaps by not saying anything. or choose words wisely and realize consequences.

it may be easier to be unaware, in denial, unawakened, but it's leading a deadened life. But it's not as painful as the consequences of my bad actions. Painful to see people struggling because they are unawakened and they could make other choices.

Take in inward instead of outward

If you act out of fear you will create painful and destructive fear based energy coming your way

The more you don't act on fear based emotions the more they lose their power.

The universe does not recognize good, bad, better, worse, success, failure  - it recognizes opportunity and limitation

The more you cultivate the loving parts of your personality the more opportunity you have- the more it fills your field of awareness and  experience

Contribute what you can to life because that's the nature of love and it doesn't require acknowledgment.

That's where the joy in life comes from and to create that place now is our evolutionary requirement. Act on those parts of us that are aligned with our soul (not our personality)

The choice of intention is the choice that brings energy into form

Soul

The most noble part of you- before and after your personality exist

Our job while on earth is to align personality and soul

God-

The universe is holy and intelligent-

This universe has layers and layers of compassion and wisdom beyond ours- Gary's definition

Gary

Are we creating the reality we are experimenting with- Gary's book and beginning of his journey- Wi lu masters
He followed the energy- written spontaneously, joyfully, intelligently, NOT alone

When we die


we go home- returning where you came from, to non physical reality

we are becoming multi sensory and realizing as we walk the earth

Money, Money, Money

Wow, I've been spending, mostly with plastic, money like it's going out of style. The Pepper Tree, My Yard, The Pool, The AC in my Car. About $6000 in a couple of weeks. I wonder what The Universe is trying to tell me. This poem by Rumi confirms my thoughts.

THE GUEST HOUSE

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

-- Rumi
