Unlimited Horizons
The Challenge As we enter STAGE 5 we fully recognize what lines of action lead to greater freedom, but initially REJECT to transfer this insight into action. We know exactly what activities and emotions we need to start or change, but we don't act accordingly. We hesitate - • because we fear new attitudes and lines of action may
change our life too deeply and too fast for our taste • because we are far too complacent to raise the neces
sary energy, or • we simply lack courage.
We find uncounted reasons to rationalize our procrastination.
Yet there's no starting gun. We alone need to decide when to start acting on our insights. Nothing will ever change or expand in our life, if we don't start with it. Without going for something new, we'll keep experiencing the same old themes in endless repetition. As we tire of this monotony and boredom, we find the courage to begin.
This means to actively engage in situations - agreeable as well as difficult ones - that are emotionally charged. This means to actively seek confrontation with persons or situations of whose (domineering) influence we want to free our life. It means to purposely create conditions in which long-unfulfilled desires, dreams, ideas (and possibly also dreads) become real.
The more energy we invest into manifesting these uncompleted themes, the faster more fascinating dimensions open up to us.
