The Threefold Death, Mindfulness: Wakening to the Law of Reversibility

MINDFULNESS: WAKENING TO THE FRAMEWORK OF WHAT-IS AND WHAT-IS-NOT
Manifesting is not attracting. It’s creating something that’s already there, yet unseen, a vibration.
We aren’t solid beings living on this planet; instead this planet is a collection of energies which penetrate each other. - Hina Hashmi
Now add the paradox of duality. For ‘something’ to be present, ‘not-that-something’ also exists, at the same time. For example: when you attempt to persuade (or sell something to) someone, they may say, “yes” (success) or “no” (not-success). You know the shape of a building because the air around it is not-that-building.
So how can you apply this principle to life and death? Answer: it requires a fundamental reframe.
The opposite of death is not life, it is birth. Life is eternal. - Paraphrased from Eckhart Tolle
There is no such thing as death in the traditional sense of its definition. Upon death, the physical body returns to its constituent elements and consciousness leaves the body, unseen, reborn into the vibration it came from. Death and birth coincide. You give birth to new levels of consciousness in life by bringing death to, killing, those things that you allow to stop the birthing process. And...
You can only bring death to, or kill, that which you have power over (i.e. the properties of things you own or control): your personality, your feelings, your outlook - and how you perceive, and thus respond to, the information you amass through your five senses (sight, sound, touch, smell and taste). You do not have control over the events and people in your life – but you always have control over how you respond to them.
If you perceive life negatively for a few hours, people will think you’re in a mood. If your negativity lasts a few weeks, others may think that you’re depressed. If your negativity sustains over a longer term, others will define you as someone with a negative personality – or of a negative character. Your outlook in life shapes your responses to its peaks, middles (“Glass half full, half empty?”) and troughs. Your sustained responses, define your character – and thus your destiny...
All that happens is the result of character; the only manner in which the destiny can be changed is to change the character ... (and) can be markedly altered in any direction desired. - CC Zain
A deeper process of ‘personal alchemy’ is at work...
Strength of character comes not from a life of ease and tranquillity but from a life in which our hearts, minds and sometimes bodies are pitted against forces we do not understand. - Paraphrased from The Druid Plant Oracle, by Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm
Change in your consciousness is only brought about by changing your character; ergo, changes (preceded by deaths) to certain aspects of your personality and feelings, which in turn are shaped by the framework of how you perceive the information you gather through your five senses. Life, at some level, is thus about opening, as Aldous Huxley so eloquently puts it, the doors of perception AND shaping your character accordingly and consciously.
As you open the doors, you waken to the framework of what-is and what-is-not, the principles of spirit and matter, the Laws of the Light, the framework of truth borne of justice, just-is. It requires focus, imagination, faith in yourself, and a cleansing of the mind. Otherwise you will not know clearly whether you will manifest what you want or its polar opposite, its duality...
So... Be clear that what you imagine will bring you what your soul seeks. And know that all the things that you experience – that you don’t want – serve a purpose.
This booklet describes three fundamental deaths (or reframes) to aspects of personality, feelings and perception of what-is and what-is-not - or as the story of Merlin portrays, ‘The Threefold Death’. These three reframes are fundamental to your wakening to what-is and what-is-not: in modern-say spe

I’m in the business of equipping people to improve their effectiveness by 30%+ in a matter of weeks, sometimes days.Business Client: “I have worked with Paul periodically over the past 8 years to gain solutions to a number of people issues / opportunities. If you are looking for a Personal Coach to make a High Performer / High performing Team even better (particularly a senior player) – I would not hesitate to recommend him”.Sandra Ventre, Management Development Director, Reckitt Benckiser (now with Qantas)Private Client: “You have been so instrumental in the positive changes in my life, I set quite a few goals, and one by one my goals are being achieved, thanks to you, showing me how”.Debbie (via Skype) Cape Town, South Africa.The Skills and Passions in MeLife doesn’t get better by chance; it gets better by change. And change is a journey that’s two parts, emotional, to one part, intellectual.Most of us don’t achieve what we set out to achieve at the first attempt. If the outcomes you sought were down to a purely intellectual exercise then you would have achieved them already - would you not? Whether you’re a top or moderate performer (or underperforming right now) - every change you make in life is a journey, two parts emotional to one part intellectual. We are twice as likely to hold ourselves back because of self-imposed emotional blocks as opposed to intellectual problems. Put simply, I equip people to tackle challenging emotional journeys.Corporate clients use me as a ‘business coach’, personal clients probably see me as more of an ‘energy healer’. In both cases I help clients to release the emotional blocks so that they cultivate and apply their innate willpower, imagination, courage and creativity to achieve the business and personal outcomes they seek.I’ve over thirty five years of ‘b2b’ corporate sales and management experience, fifteen years of which overlap with my business and personal coaching work. I’ve a PhD in Statistics and a First Class Honours Degree in Mathematics. I’m qualified as a Master Practitioner in: NLP, this/past life regression and hypnotherapy.I write books, blogs and have just started a series of business articles based upon my own original research, experience and observations in corporate and SME business.I study and practice ancient wisdom, astrology, casting runes, dowsing, the I Ching and the Tarot.I love listening to music – rock, jazz, country... you name it. I sing a bit too.I’m a passionate football fan of Newcastle United Football Club, in “Geordieland”, in The North-East of England.

Foreword

Wakening to the Framework of What-Is and What-Is-Not

The Law of Reversibility

Situations (events and people) can affect your emotional state. The reverse holds true too; inducing that same emotional state will manifest those same events and people into your life.

Manifesting is not attracting. It’s creating something that’s already there, yet unseen, a vibration.

We aren’t solid beings living on this planet; instead this planet is a collection of energies which penetrate each other.

Now add the paradox of duality. For ‘something’ to be present, ‘not-that-something’ also exists, at the same time. For example: when you attempt to persuade (or sell something to) someone, they may say, yes (success) or no (not-success). You know the shape of a building because the air around it is not-that-building.

So how can you apply this principle to life and death? Answer: it requires a fundamental reframe.

The opposite of death is not life, it is birth. Life is eternal.

Paraphrased from Eckhart Tolle

There is no such thing as death in the traditional sense of its definition. Upon death, the physical body returns to its constituent elements and consciousness leaves the body, unseen, reborn into the vibration it came from. Death and birth coincide. You give birth to new levels of consciousness in life by bringing death to, killing, those things that you allow to stop the birthing process. And…

You can only bring death to, or kill, that which you have power over (i.e. the properties of things you own or control): your personality, your feelings, your outlook - and how you perceive, and thus respond to, the information you amass through your five senses (sight, sound, touch, smell and taste). You do not have control over the events and people in your life – but you always have control over how you respond to them.

Author’s extract from Defrag your Soul: If you perceive life negatively for a few hours, people will think you’re in a mood. If your negativity lasts a few weeks, others may think that you’re depressed. If your negativity sustains over a longer term, others will define you as someone with a negative personality – or of a negative character.

Your outlook in life shapes your responses to its peaks, middles (Glass half full, half empty?) and troughs. Your sustained responses, define your character – and thus your destiny…

All that happens is the result of character; the only manner in which the destiny can be changed is to change the character ... (and) can be markedly altered in any direction desired.

A deeper process of ‘personal alchemy’ is at work...

Strength of character comes not from a life of ease and tranquillity but from a life in which our hearts, minds and sometimes bodies are pitted against forces we do not understand.

Paraphrased from The Druid Plant Oracle, by Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm

Change in your consciousness is only brought about by changing your character; ergo,
