June 1 2013: step six in mind… " step six. The psychic change Separating the men from the boys, women from the girls?" What is the psychic change? And is it a practical change? Is it a spiritual psychic experience? Now this depends on your belief system and your opinions. I do believe that step six is the beginning of a psychic change, which is practical and it is spiritual for me. I have come to believe that spiritual is simply the ability to live in the moment of now, accepting the truth of now, the love that we have for others and the love that we receive from others and everything improves our wisdom of now...

Step six, removal of defects. By asking and knowing what our defects of character are. Defects of character: extremes of behaviour which are good, bad and ugly. Extreme fear, extreme pride, extreme ego. And what might seem contentious sometimes: extreme courage, extreme faith and extreme confidence without foundation in truth, love and wisdom. In other words, bullshit territory! Expectations and resentments under construction, secrets, keeping us stuck, fear, pride and ego rising at any time we feel less than others… Step seven is the antidote to step six and that is the practical change in outlook towards: courage to change, faith in doing the next right thing, and enough confidence to have a go at whatever endeavour you find interesting and useful to you…

Step six: fear, pride and ego getting in the way of step seven: courage to change, faith in doing the next right thing, and confidence to have a go, make mistakes and keep on learning with an open honest and willing attitude… We can be at sixes and sevens in life!h of now…
