3.) THE "DRAMA"
AS IT APPLIES TO THE SET-UP: |
Dejected |
Arrogant |
Furious |
Inadequate |
Pitiful |
Deceived |
Hopeless |
Betrayed |
Enraged |
Powerless |
Crazed |
Helpless |
Doomed |
Dishonored |
Terrified |
Devastated |
1.) |
I am furious. God
is a traitor who does not stand beside me, heal me, protect me,
or hear my prayers. |
2.) |
I feel betrayed. I stand alone in my pain and
suffering. Where is God?!!! |
3.) |
I am powerless. God is vengeful and cruel, and
doesn't take care of any of us. |
4.) |
I feel hoodwinked. God manipulated
me into believing in Divine
and Omnipotent Goodness. So where is it?!! |
5.) |
God, You have sinned against me. You have transgressed
by not keeping Your promises. I'll never believe in You again. |
6.) |
I feel duped. God is a swindler, and a cheat.
God is a fake whose Love
is conditional, after all. |
7.) |
God has cheated, deceived, and humiliated me.
My Trust has been betrayed. From now on, You have to prove Yourself
to me. |
8.) |
I feel hopeless and helpless. How dare You waste
my life in pursuit of something truthless and meaningless. |
9.) |
Why should I trust God to be in charge of my
life when the world is such a mess? |
10.) |
Divine
Order. Divine Schmorder. Who do You think You are? I want
control; I'd certainly
do a better job. |
11.) |
God is going to punish me, no matter what I do.
There is no forgiveness or clemency, only pain and suffering.
I live in constant terror of God's retribution. |
12.) |
I am consumed by despair. God is cold-hearted
and manipulative. God looks down from Heaven
and laughs at my suffering. Why is God out to get me? |
My Worst
End Scenario:
My greatest fear
is that my Being
will be controlled by God.
I will never have a say in my own life. I am condemned to be
a sinner. There is no way out. Who governs my body, my mind,
my Heart, my Spirit,
my Soul, my Self?
I am dirt beneath the feet of God. I will never know Love.
God has made me unlovable. I am a monstrous demon, knowing all
about hate. I am the master of self-hate. I live
my death, never living my life. I die alone, never knowing
LOVE. |
1.) |
Who/What imprinted you? And How? |
1.) |
My parents and my church imprinted me with the
belief that God is
outside of me. Far, far away. Unreachable and untouchable. |
2.) |
My church imprinted me with the belief that I
am not perfect enough to be in direct contact with God. Only
the church officials are holy enough to communicate with God. |
3.) |
My church imprinted me with the belief that God
is to be feared. I can expect to be punished by suffering pain
and sorrow if I do not follow God's rules
all of God's rules.
Perfectly. |
4.) |
The church imprinted me with the belief that
if the officials say I am a sinner and dammed to Hell,
it is the direct word from God. I am powerless to change
it. Neither my parents nor I have any power to take this verdict
away once it has been decreed. |
5.) |
My mother and the church imprinted me with the
belief that God is the critical
judge who demands atonement, suffering, and sorrow. God decrees
guilt. |
6.) |
My mother and the church imprinted me with the
belief that it is my duty to earn God's Love.
There is no rescue, no protection,
no safety unless I can win God's Love and be forgiven. |
7.) |
My mother imprinted me with the belief that I
am only worthy of her Love if I have first earned God's Love. |
8.) |
My father and my church imprinted me with the
belief that God is punishment. God will punish anyone who does
not have the right theology. That person cannot be saved, no
matter what he/she does. |
9.) |
My church imprinted me with the belief that God
is an unreasonable tyrant who demands blind loyalty, unquestioning
faith, and total
servitude. |
10.) |
My father imprinted me with the belief that I
might as well believe that "God Is." That way, if there
really is a God, I'll be safe; and if there isn't, then it won't
matter anyway. |
11.) |
My parents imprinted me with the belief that
there is only one way to believe in God. Any other religious
belief/practice is automatically wrong. |
12.) |
My father imprinted me with the belief that religion
is God's way of controlling people. |
2.) |
The Payoff.
Name it.
Name the Negative Power that feeds the Payoff. |
|
I can absolve myself from guilt and shame
and any responsibility for my life. If there really is Divine
Order, then God
is in charge, not me. It's not my fault if things go wrong; it's
God's plan.
If I believe God delivers condemnation, pain,
and suffering, then I give myself permission to inflict abuse,
emotional pain, and domination of others with a guilt-free conscience.
I can deceive and punish myself and others, while claiming that
it is God-like to do so. I can be judgmental
and critical
of myself and others, and declare myself Not Guilty!
My rage
feeds these beliefs and behaviors. It is my payoff.
I am raging at God for being so far away and unreachable. I am
furious with God for keeping the Divine
Plan a secret. I am disgusted by and shocked at the suffering
and sickness in the world. I am enraged that God has allowed
it. I am powerless to do anything about the state of the world.
I am furious with God for making me so small and insignificant.
Where is God when you really need Him/Her/It? |
3.) |

inside myself. |
1.) |
I need to change
my feelings of
self-doubt and doubting God
into feelings of self-confidence and confidence in God. |

God has let me down into feelings of hope that God will answer
my prayers. |
3.) |
I need to change my feelings of mistrusting God
into trusting God. |
4.) |
I need to change my feelings of self-loathing
because of my unworthiness in God's eyes into feelings of Self-Love because
I feel God's forgiveness. |
5.) |
I need to change allowing my ego to rule into
seeking my Soul's
guidance. |
6.) |
I need to change my feelings of shame
because I am inadequate and know that God can see my faults,
into feelings of pride in my inherent goodness and beauty. |

into knowing that God is my ally. |
8.) |

myself into the knowing that God is always within me. |

I need to change my anger at the state of the
world into accepting Divine
Order. |
12.) |
I need to change my feeling of being small and
insignificant into knowing that all the grandeur and power of
God, and All That
Is, is inside me.. |

and dread God's punishment. |

Love and grace. |

and cherished by God. |

the wrath of God. |
6.) |

God's Love. |
7.) |
Like my father, I hide my vulnerability and pretend
to be strong. God will not protect me, so I must protect myself
with a mask of strength. |
8.) |
Like my father, I am incapable of truly loving
myself; I am doomed to live a life of separation from God. |
9.) |
Like my father, I tend to view God as a malevolent
stranger. |
10.) |
Like my father, I disbelieve everything the church
says and believe that God has abandoned me. |
11.) |
Like my mother, I play the role of martyr so
I can feel closer to God. |
12.) |
Like my parents, I believe my salvation comes
from a power outside of me. |
5.) |

at the right hand of God." |

Symbols
from Soul:
The image from Soul
is that of a little child being rocked/swung in a blanket, held
hammock style. The child is joyous, laughing, at complete Peace. Two sets of hands
are holding and supporting the blanket. The hands on the right
side of the blanket are male hands. The hands holding the left
side are female. The male hands offer the strength, the action,
the lift; the female hands are secure, holding, and supporting.
The blanket swings higher and higher. The little child is in
bliss. S/he flies out of the blanket, and ascends
into the Light.
Two golden
rings come arching back into the blanket. As the rings descend
they are separate. As the rings contact the blanket they link,
then merge, and expand into one singular, golden ring. The golden
ring becomes a ring of fire, out of which arises a white bird.
The bird ascends, slowly becoming translucent, and at the moment
of complete transparency, is transmuted into Light.
The little child is us, the Inner Child of
all Humanity.
S/he is supported, guided, and loved by Divine
Mother and Divine
Father. These two polarities are part of each of us. They
support and guide us in our transformation to the One Within,
God, which we are.
The two golden rings carry the energy of Divine
Mother and Divine
Father. These energies of thought/feeling
versus action, of being
versus doing are opposite polarities.
Even so, they are each necessary components of our wholeness.
As the rings touch, they link and combine, transforming separateness
into Oneness, creating a higher level of Consciousness.
This singular ring becomes a ring of fire,
which represents our transformational rite of passage. This transformational
passage is the cleansing of the negative thoughts, negative
feelings, negative words, and negative actions that run our
lives. All of these patterns have kept us from the Truth
of our Being, a higher
level of one Consciousness.
The phoenix-like bird, arising from the ashes,
symbolizes our Awakening process. Through this
Awakened state, we are in perfect union
and communion
with our Soul. Our
Soul is the mirror, reflecting to us our Oneness, as God
Which We Are. |
