Day 1: Reaction Games
http://earthsjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2012/05/day-1-reaction-games.html

When disagreeing with someone’s views, yet we are incapable of voicing exactly what it is that we want to say, we tend to go into a point of ‘wanting to say’ something.

This ‘wanting to say something’ places us in a position of inferiority as we are no longer saying what it is that we see – we instead enter into a position of ‘want’ which resonantly makes us one and equal to who we are, which is a ‘want’. We then access the game of wanting to say that which we desire to say - also placing us into a position of ‘want’.

This participation from both parties creates an experience of playing a game of want – The game of want in itself is a polarity game and as such will require a winner and a looser. Both are defending their point of view – both only considering their respective points, not actually listening to one another, looking directly at that which is being said – but jumping to conclusions that support each individual’s point of view.

Both parties then access the point of ‘you are not listening to me’ - feeling that the other person is not listening, which starts to generate energy within both parties.

If the conversation goes on for long enough, there should be a considerable amount of energy built up – till either one party gives in or another party exerts authority, thereby creating a winner and a looser. The winner gets the satisfaction of winning – yet still feels like they have lost as the other person did not get what they were saying.

The looser feels as though they had lost and accesses a point within themselves where they are justifying to themselves why they are right. Thereby making themselves feel better about their experience.

The end result is that both parties have reacted – this reaction is a key to self that one’s participation was not effective in how self applied self and it thereby calls for personal self-responsibility to be taken of the reaction within and as self; for it was never about the topic of conversation it was always about who self was within the topic that was discussed.


I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have a point of view and through this point of view I did not allow myself to be present within the conversation and relied on the point of view to be present within the conversation.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to react to the other person’s point of view when it did not agree with my point of view.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to see their point of view as flawed and thereby by default saw my point of view as right.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to through this point of view went into the application of ‘wanting to tell my story’ in reference to the point of view that I had accepted and allowed within and as myself.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realise that if I access a ‘point of view’ within and as myself, I in fact do not remain present in the moment and through this I give up what is here in the moment.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to get caught up in the game called ‘my point of view’ and through this game I accessed a point of polarity within myself thus wanting to win the game.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to participate within the polarity game of ‘my point of view is right’

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to go into the energy of wanting to be right / wanting to win / wanting to prove that my point of view is correct.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to go into the experience of ‘you are not listening to me’ because I saw it that my point of view was not being considered / heard / understood.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to go into a reaction within myself because I believed that my point of view was not being considered.

I forgive myself that through this application of believing that my point of view is not being considered, I further went into the application of wanting to explain myself more – because I believed that if the person just understands what I am saying that they would agree with me.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to manipulate and change my words so that we can at least agree on some points as I think that this application would bring some form of peace / agreement to the conversation.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to further use manipulation of my words so that I can end up being right.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to, through further feedback, realised that the person does not understand what I am saying and thus then went into further reactions of ‘the person is not listening to me’

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to then find myself in a position where the conversation goes out of hand and it becomes a fight for survival of opinions by the egos.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want to win.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want to be right.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to exert the point of being right within the conversation.

Compromise myself - loosing
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to through wanting the fighting of the ego’s to end, I compromise myself by either accepting what the other person says or I give up by pretending that the other person is right.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to through this pretense have negative thoughts about the other person being a tyrant and thus I have to submit to the tyranny.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that backing down is the only solution to ending the fight of the egos.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I was doing the right thing through ‘back down’ and not voicing what I believe to be right / true.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use snide remarks as a form of defense mechanism towards the person that I see as being the dominant one / the tyrant.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to make myself feel better about who I am by justifying to myself why I am right.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to create a form of self talk within myself to make myself feel better about the conversation and losing the conversation.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use my self-talk as a form of self-comfort.


Exert myself - winning
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use my knowledge as a form of authority in order to win the game of ‘my opinion’ is right.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to react to another person ‘wanting to have their say’.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to react to the person ‘having their say’ and justifying my reaction by saying to myself that they are not considering all the points.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realise that I was not considering all the points as is evident through my reaction.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want to belittle the other person because I saw that they were not considering all the points.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to accept my reaction as justified within the context of what happened within the conversation.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use self-righteousness as a means of self-talk to justify to myself why I am right.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use judgment of the other person as a form of making myself feel better about myself.



Self-Corrective Statements
Within this experience I realise that there can be no winners and no losers once I have entered the polarity game. The only option is to stop the game being playing.
When and as I find myself within a situation where I have started playing a polarity game, I stop and breathe and realise how such a game plays out. I do not allow myself to participate in the game.

When and as I see myself about to or already participating within a polarity game - I stop and breathe. I realise within myself that I have not yet found clarity about the specific point under discussion and I am through this game trying exert what I have created a belief about the point under discussion. I thus stop the conversation and do not allow myself to participate from the point of beliefs that I have formed. Instead I look directly at the point and direct the point as me within clarity and direction.

When and as I see myself as though I have already lost the polarity game – I stop and breathe. I realise that I just participated within a polarity game and I realise that I am experiencing the consequential outflows of what a polarity game brings. I stop the cycle by not allowing myself to go into thoughts of self-talk to make myself feel better about myself – as this will just recreate another cycle of pent up energy that I will have to deal with as a consequence of my participation within my thoughts.

When and as I see myself as though I have already won a polarity game – I stop and breathe. I realise that I just participated within a polarity game and I realise that I am experiencing the consequential outflows of what a polarity game brings. I stop the cycle by not allowing myself to go into thoughts of self-talk where I have made myself better than the other person, as this will just recreate another cycle of pent up energy that I will have to deal with as a consequence of my participation within my thoughts.

I realise within this application that by having after-thoughts about a conversation where I am trying to catch out the other person or trying to make my point right is part of the reasoning design where I am using reasoning as a method to come to truth instead of allowing myself to look directly at a point.

I therefor do not accept and allow myself to use reasoning to ‘make a point right’ as I realise that reasoning can be manipulated to suite the manipulator of information.

I therefor only allow myself to look at the point directly within and as myself and if I cannot yet see the point clearly within and as myself I allow myself to wait until I am clear within myself to see the point directly.

Day 2: Perfection Game
http://earthsjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2012/05/perfection-game.html

When entering a position of seeking perfection we become blinded by what is right in front of us - All we seek, is this 'perceived' point of 'perfection'. 'Perceived' because we have a frame of reference in the form of an 'idea' of what it is that we would like to achieve / obtain. It is this 'perceived perception' that limits us to try and find a way to manifest this 'idea' that we have created about something. Our focus is then narrowed to try and manifest this 'idea' that we have classified as 'perfect'.

Then within this narrowed / limited view we become oblivious to what is already here. We miss our chance of living what is here right in front of us.
This seeking perfection - if given enough attention can lead us to an obsession where we obsess about what it is that we would like to manifest / create. And each time reality in 'comparison' to the idea is not 'good enough' we enter into an experience of not being good enough ourselves - punishing ourselves for not being 'good enough'. Yet the irony is that we had created this idea within ourselves in the first place. We accepted and allowed this 'idea' of what we perceived to be 'perfect' to take root within ourselves and when we do not meet up to our 'perceptual reality' that we have created within ourselves, we blame, accuse, punish ourselves in the name of this 'idea' that we ourselves had created.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to become entrapped by the design of seeking perfection by seeking perfection within what I do, not realising that seeking perfection is tied to an idea that I have within my mind about what would make my application perfect.
I forgive myself that I had accepted and allowed myself to not realise that I had accepted and allowed the idea as a picture within my mind that I am attempting to manifest within the physical reality.
I forgive myself that I had accepted and allowed myself to use comparison between my application and the idea that I had accepted within my mind to make myself feel incompetent within what I am applying myself within and as.
I forgive myself that I had accepted and allowed myself to want to have an immediate result instead of walking the physical process of manifestation.
I forgive myself that I had accepted and allowed myself to become obsessed within wanting an application to be perfect and through this obsession have completely missed what is here in the moment.
I forgive myself that I had accepted and allowed myself to not realise that I am the creator of my experience - through firstly accepting the idea of a perfect application within myself as true and there after comparing myself to this idea which I realise now can never be fulfilled, as an idea within ones mind is a static picture that does not consider the physical reality.
I commit myself to not accept the energetic design of seeking perfection within myself and to confront individuals who are accessing the design of perfection as it is clear within myself that seeking perfection is based on an idea within the mind and does not take into consideration what is here in the physical.
I commit myself to expose the ideas as pictures that we have accepted and allowed to manifest within ourselves, and to through this expose the ideas as static pictures that we are wanting to imprint on life.
I commit myself to not use comparison between my application and thoughts that are manifesting in my mind as ideas but to rather restore comparison to its rightful placement of being able to determine the functionality between aspects that one is looking at. I further commit myself to expose applications where a person is comparing themselves to ideas that they have manifested within and as themselves.
I commit myself to remain within the breath of life and do not accept and allow myself to be side tracked by thoughts as ideas and thus desiring the ideas to be manifested instantaneously. I further commit myself to expose to another where they become lost within their mind and do not remain within the breath of life.
I commit myself to expose obsession for what it is through isolating the ideas that have led to the obsession.
I further commit myself to not accept and allow obsession as obsession is seeking self fulfillment and does not consider life.
I forgive myself that I had accepted and allowed myself to not realise that I am the creator of my experience - through firstly accepting the idea of a perfect application within myself as true and there after comparing myself to this idea which I realise now can never be fulfilled, as an idea within ones mind is a static picture that does not consider the physical reality.
I commit myself to realise that I am the creator in what I accept and allow within and as myself. I therefor realise that what I participate within and as myself manifests within my world. I therefor take responsibility for every thought, word and deed that I participate within and as.

Day 3: Picture Presentation Game
http://earthsjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2012/05/day-3-picture-presentation-game.html

Scurrying around in the mornings to do our hair, to look pretty, to look good. What should I wear? What clothes look good on me? Is it time to have my hair done? What style should I cut it next? Should I colour my hair? Do I have grey hairs? It is almost time for my next waxing appointment. My razors have almost run out - I should go and buy some before my next big date again.

All the things we do to look good - And what it this for? To get noticed from another? To get attention from another? To make self feel good about self? All this artificial cosmetics we participate within just to make ourselves feel like we fit in, we belong, we are OK.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to care more about how I look than who I am.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself participate within the game of looks in order for me to fit into society and through this I have accepted and allowed myself to present a picture presentation of myself through which I give myself value

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use this picture presentation of myself to evaluate my effectiveness within the world and through this evaluation I have accepted and allowed myself to position myself within a placement of my own choosing.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see that my picture presentation of myself is not real and is only what is described - a picture. I realise that who I am within every moment is what is real as an expression of myself.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realise that who I am in what I participate is how I create myself in every moment through that which I participate within and as.

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see who I am but have been caught up the web of disillusion of the picture presentation of what I have created myself as.

I commit myself to see and realise that when and as I am participating within the design of worrying about how I look like to stop and breathe and realise that I am participating within the game of picture presentation.

I commit myself to expose the game of picture presentation wherein I or another uses this game to fit into society or try to give myself value through how I look.

I commit myself to expose how we use our picture presentation of ourselves to give ourselves a false evaluation of who we are within this world and I further commit myself to not accept placements of who we believe we are to create a secure form of self definition.

I commit myself to see and realise that who I am is not based in a picture but who I am in every breath, how I deal with things and how I see things and how I live who I am as a living expression of myself.

I commit myself to realise and see that who I am in every breath is how I create myself.

I commit myself to look at see who I am in every breath as this is my indicator of what I am creating myself as.

Day 4: Redefining words - Part 1



On Facebook you’ll find a group called “The Living Word” where individuals are redefining words as living expressions of themselves. The group was started within the realization that we all speak the same language yet we have different meaning for our words. So although we are speaking one language our semantics are different in how we interpret the sentence constructions within and as ourselves.

Having different meanings for words is how relationships fail as the one partner has a certain point of view and is trying to manifest their point of view into this world and the other partner has their own point of view that they are trying to manifest into this world. Miscommunication, angry fights and make up sex constitute a large part of our semantics not being aligned as living expressions of oneness and equality.

So this gave us a look at why we redefine words – Let’s have a look at how we redefine words.

The words within our vocabulary are stored within ourselves, accompanied by an emotional (negative) or feeling (positive) energetic charge. The positive or negative charge contains how we ‘feel’ about experiencing (receiving) this word or how we feel about expressing (giving) this word.

When words are charged positively within ourselves we like being the receiver of those words. For instance when a word such as ‘kindness’ is charged positively within ourselves by having the corresponding semantic of ‘being kind is a sign of a well bread child’ – We enjoy it when people are sincerely ‘kind’ to us. This would place self in a position of receiving the expression ‘kindness’ and as self has placed a positive charge on this word – It is welcomed within self.

Simultaneously when self is kind – being the giver of the expression ‘kindness’ – Self will feel positive about self as the expression of kindness is stored within self as a positively charged word, thus giving the expression of kindness self becomes positive charged which when looking self honestly within oneself you will identify backchat where self is elevating self. For instance: I am such a good person / look at me at how good I am / My parents will be so proud of me / etc.

Being the receiver and giver of an expression that is positively charged within self is easy to work with as it falls within the parameters of what society expects from its members. When we start to look at the words that have been negatively charged within self, we start to look at another dimension of how we have stored / suppressed / repressed and ignored words within and as ourselves.

Being the receiver of a word that has been negatively charged within ourselves is not a pleasant experience for any individual. For instance being on the receiving end of the expression of ‘ridicule’ we find ourselves cringing in the face of the giver of the expression of ‘ridicule’. We wish we could run away and hide, yet we are placed within a situation where we either have to eat up the ridicule or fight back. As this word is negatively charged within ourselves we experience a negatively charged polarity as ourselves when we receive the expression of ‘ridicule’.

In many instances we would despise being the receiver of a negatively charged word – yet we have separated ourselves into so many compartments within ourselves that we don’t even realize that we are the giver of negatively charged words. We would thus turn around and in another environment with different people (or the same people) we would become the expression of ‘ridicule’, thus being the giver of the expression of ‘ridicule’.

How quickly did we forget what a negatively charged word does as an experience within us that we would / could turn around and give it to another person in a blink of an eye.

[Esteni]

Day 5: Redefining Words (Part 2) - Playing polarity games

Within the definitions as polarity charges that we have given words we enter into playing games of winning and losing energy within our interactions with other people. When we are on the receiving end of negatively charged words we experience a ‘low’ within ourselves. This ‘low’ experience is where we perceive that we have lost the game. Being the giver of a negatively charged word we experience a ‘high’ within ourselves – having the experience that we have ‘won’ the game.

In terms of words that are positively charged the lines of winning and losing are not as apparent as with the ‘negatively’ charged words, yet the game is still present.

Instead of the game being on a linear line with an apparent ‘winner’ and an apparent ‘loser’ the positively charged game operates on a double linear line. Both participants in the game appear to be winning – yet both are ‘losing’ within the undercurrent of what is being expressed.

Using the example of ‘kindness’ we can illustrate the game being played with a positively charged word being given and received.

Let’s discuss the graph above in more detail:

When we are the receiver of a positively charged word our experience is that of being ‘accepted’ by the other person giving the positively charged word. Through this ‘acceptance’ we feel better about ourselves(positive charge) in who we are. So although our experience is positive what is not being addressed is the reason why we are in the position of receiving this positively charged word. The receiver of the word kindness accepts their ‘position’ their ‘fate’ of being in the position where they find themselves in and as. They accept the condition that lead them to be in the position of receiving kindness.

From the giver of kindness perspective you will find that kindness is a word that is used in instances where one feels sorry for another person or where one has been programmed to believe that it is the ‘right thing to do’ within certain social standings.

When it is fuelled by ‘feeling sorry’ for another person what self is actually accepting within and as oneself is that it is ok to feel sorry for another person which in itself is a negative charge because feeling sorry for another person is not a self-honest support expression as self is in fact keeping the person locked into their design where others can keep on feeling sorry for them.

When it is fuelled by ‘it is the right thing to do’ self is just mindlessly acting out a pre-programmed design of what is acceptable within ones social environment. The expression is not an expression of self – It is an expression of what is ‘right’ according to the pre-programmed design that self was born into. Within this expression self is no longer the living expression of the word – Self has become enslaved to the expression that one’s social environment calls for in a given moment. The experience of being enslaved to the pre-programmed design within and as oneself is in itself a negatively charged experienced.

From the perspective of the ‘giver of kindness’ - Accepting either the ‘feeling sorry for another person’ or ‘doing the right thing’ one is in fact accepting the design within and as oneself thus perpetuating the design and polarity game being played.

So –Although the giver of kindness has the experience of ‘being a good person’ (winning) they are in fact accepting the negative condition that lead to the moment of ‘giving kindness’ thus accepting the condition within and as themselves.

[Maya]

Day 6: Redefining words (Part 3) – Experience of the polarity game

When our words are polarised within and as ourselves we are locked into the polarity game because as we use and express the words – we are expressing the polarity design as how we have defined the words within and as ourselves. Within the polarity game the game is played as a winning and losing game. As was mentioned in the ‘polarity game’ within the negatively charged words are easy yet within the positively charged words the game is not as apparent, yet the game is still played.

There is always a winner and always a looser – Even if self is experiencing both winning and losing as is indicated in the positive polarity game.

Now – No-one likes to be at the losing end of the stick in any game being played as losing is associated with a negative experience, yet we all like to ‘win’ as this is associated with a positive experience within and as ourselves.

But we have not yet considered that for there to be a winner there MUST always be a loser within the game; because if there is no ‘loser’ there can also be no ‘winner’. With our competition conditioning: accepting that this behaviour is the norm we have manifested within ourselves and within the world a social acceptance of competition where we do not consider all that is here, we are only considering and competing to be on the ‘winning’ side, be part of the experience of the ‘winner’ as this experience seems to be ‘giving’ us an experience of more than who we are. Experiencing a form of elevation, being better than another person. This expression of competition within and as ourselves is a base expression of separation from all that is here, thus the competition that drives us is also the point that separates us from what is here.

The question then becomes how do I stop participating in the polarity game?

If there is a tennis match being played and one of the opponents decides not to hit the ball back (participate in the polarity game) – then there is no game any longer. There is no game being played. Realising this within and as oneself, one only has to ask the question of ‘Where am I participating within the polarity game?’ as finding the answer to this question allows self to take the first step of stopping the game by stopping ones participation within the game.

This is done through changing who we are within and as ourselves by removing the polarity design that we have accepted and allowed ourselves to define ourselves as. Thus by removing the polarity definition within the words that we have defined ourselves as and applying a definition free of polarity within the expression of our world, we are preparing ourselves to stop our participation within the polarity games that we play with one another, thus allowing ourselves to stop the ‘winning’, ‘losing’ application and living life one and equal with what is here.

[Maya]

Day 7: Redefining Words (Part 4)- Redefining words as living words

Day 7: Redefining Words (Part 4)- Redefining words as living words
What is clear about words that are defined within and as self as polarised words, are that they are reactive in nature. Meaning when carrying a negatively or positively charged word within and as self, this polarity charged word will ‘react’ within its environment seeking out designs of ‘homeostasis’ or ‘winning’. The consequential outflows of negatively and positively charged words are predetermined in that they follow a specific pre-programmed path.
For instance – Using our example of kindness:
When one is the ‘giver’ of ‘kindness’ – Self is in a position where self is experiencing the positive charge of the word. When the other person rejects your act of kindness, one of the predetermined paths of the program is to react to the person’s rejection of your kindness and become snappy with them. As the belief within self is that self was ‘kind’ to the person and they rejected your act of perceived good.

What is not realised within these interactions among communication is that these are pre-programmed acts that we live out and express within our interactions with others. These words as polarised words are pre-programmed designs that we believe we are living, when in fact we are only reacting to the polarity designs that we have accepted and allowed ourselves to become. We believe that we have free choice in how we respond, how we react, how we participate, yet we live the pre-programmed designs of how we have accepted the polarity designs of words within and as ourselves.

As long as words are polarised within our definitions of ourselves we are subject to the polarity games being played as the words within and as ourselves are directing us through the energy that is generated within us through the friction of the interaction of polarised words.
The definitions of words as we have accepted and allowed them within and as ourselves become the expressions that we live, the expressions that we act out, becomes who we express ourselves as.

It is thus common sense to realise that, what we place as definitions within and as ourselves is what we manifest within the expression of ourselves. For instance – we have given words meaning through polarising them and as a manifested consequential outflow we are living competition and comparison as external accepted expressions of our social reality.
Removing the polarity designs out of words and redefining words to the direct expression of what they represent we create a consequential outflow of an expression of oneness and equality.

What is certain about polarised words are their pre-programmed design which have specific paths of consequential outflows which we are able to identify and see for ourselves by walking the timeline of how the word will play out within an interactional situation. What is also certain is that a polarity game will be played as the building blocks of the words that we speak contain a polarity that seeks out ‘win’; and what becomes certain within such a game is that there is always a winner and always a looser. Realising this and understanding this makes one ask the question: What is this all for then? Why do we perpetuate the same game over and over again? Why not just stop and learn how to express self as life – not just a pre-programmed design.
This is why we redefine words; to find the living expression evident in each word from the principle of oneness and equality. As we look at a word we are moving ourselves through the word to see what it represents and what it stands for as a living expression. By assigning a definition to the word we are developing our vocabulary by placing within the definitions, living definitions that stand free from polarity which are able to stand as living expressions of the words that we have redefined.

Day 8 - Redefining words (Part 5) - How to redefine words – Gathering Information stage:
http://earthsjourneytolife.blogspot.com ... ow-to.html
 
To become accustomed to redefining words we have created a step by step methodology that one is able to use to firstly gather information, assess the information, write creatively and then bring the information together into a living definition of oneself. As with any new skill that self develops it takes practise before one becomes effective. It is thus advisable to cross reference the redefinitions to make sure that self is not pulling the wool over one’s own eyes creating additional consequences that self will have to deal with later in living out the expressions as definitions of words that self has assigned to words. It is suggested to post your entire method of redefining words on the desteni forum where you will receive support and feedback on the words that you have redefined.

So – Lets start by looking at the gathering of information stage.
Gathering Information stage:

Here we gather information about the word that we have chosen to redefine. Within this stage one is able to see all the different definitions, experiences and views self as well as others have about a specific word. Here we are able to look at the separation as definitions of words that we have come to live and express words as.

There are three sources that we look towards in the Gathering of Information stage.

Self-Allocation: Here we look at how self has experienced the word, from either the ‘giver’ or the ‘receiver’ of the word’s perspective. So – Write out how YOU have experienced this word, either when you were using it on another person or when another person was using it on you or just while you were watching this word being used on another person. The Self-Allocation point is about allocating self in relation to this word.

Dictionary Definition: Write out all the definitions you find within the dictionary. You will find that your experience of this word and how the dictionary has defined it at times will differ. There are also instances where you will find that the dictionary definition has several definitions to the same word. Write out all the definitions as our prerogative within redefining words are to find a point of oneness and equality within the vocabulary that we are creating and living. So that our words as definitions are no longer divided where we live in separation.
Sounding of the word: The phonetic sounds within the word that we are redefining are keys to unlocking the living definition of the word. So – speak the word aloud and hear in the sounds of the syllables of the word the keys that will assist you to identify the  sources that these sounds represent.
So – When speaking the word aloud – place emphasis on different syllables and write down the different sounds that you hear. Also do not limit yourself to the grammatically ‘correct’ syllables – break the word up grammatically ‘incorrect’ syllables.  Playing with the sound of the word is about creativity – what can see / hear within the sounds of the word.

Once you have the sounds of the words written down – assign a meaning to the sounds; asking yourself the question: “What does this sound mean to me? / What is it that I see within this sound?”

These questions allows self to look at the sound and see the associations that self has to the sounds that self is looking at. If you speak more than one language – The ‘sound’ identified within this word in this language may have ‘meaning’ to you in a different language. Include this information as part of what this sound means / represents to you. 

Within the ‘sounding of the word’ we also work with the ambidexterity of the mind. Meaning – The mind views words forwards, backward and can also create words from the letters already existent within the word that we are looking at itself. So – Allow yourself the break through the spell of grammar and see all that you are able to see within the word that you are looking at.
This concludes the ‘Gathering of Information’ stage on the word that will be redefined.

[Maya]

Day 9: Redefining Words (Part 6) How to redefine words – Investigate the word
http://earthsjourneytolife.blogspot.com ... ow-to.html

Investigating the word consists of looking at all the information that one has gathered about the word. We are look­ing at how we have defined the word and thus lived out this word as a physical living expression of oneself. We are looking at how the world has defined this word and how our definition as a living experience differs from the defini­tion that the world has defined this word as. Within this we can also look at the polarity charge that is associated to this word, as well as what the consequences are of living out this polarity charge within the physical expression of this word.
You also keep in consideration all the sounds as words that you have identified within the sounding of the word sec­tion.
 
Here is an example of where a Destonian investigated a word that they were in the process of redefining.
I have associated a positive polarity to the word Tomboy as I saw that if a girl is able to do boy stuff that would make me as a girl better than the girls and equal to the boys. I would thus deliberately seek out doing things that boys do because I wanted to be seen as equally capable as boys.

My definition is similar to that of the dictionary except I made the definition special by adding a positive polarity to it. The one word that I found where I did not agree with the definition was the word ‘noisy’. When I saw this word I thought: “I don’t really like noisy things”

Within the sound I see the word ‘Tom’, which is a typical boy name and then the word ‘boy’, which the word then says boyboy, which is quite funny, because then if a girl does boy stuff she is called a boyboy. Does this mean that she is 2 x a boy? Because this would then be in line with my initial definition of giving myself a positive charge associated with the word.

I can see that the word Tomboy must have come into existence when we separated boy tasks / expressions from girl tasks / expressions; so when we decided that girls mostly do girly stuff and boys mostly do boyish stuff. When did this separation happen? When did we decide this? Who decided this? Lol

So after all of this I can see that working with the word Tomboy is part of the separation where we classify boys with certain functions / tasks as well as girls with certain functions / tasks. This is thus a cultural word where specific cultures would have defined these parameters.

I can see that I did not like the parameters that my culture defined me as (being girly), thus I crossed the boundary lines and in effect became defined as a Tomboy.

Day 10: Redefining Words (Part 7) How to redefine words –Creative phase


Once we have gathered all the information about this word that we were able to find, we have looked at all the dimensions that this word presents itself in and how self participated and experienced this word.
From here we enter into the creative phase, where we jot down different definitions to this word that we have chosen to redefine. As this phase suggests – It is the creative phase and in a creative phase we do not expect a complete definition to emerge yet. This is the phase where we play with what we have uncovered thus far, placing sentences together of that which we have found within the gathering of information phase.
 
Examples of creative writing using our example of ‘Tomboy’
• A tomboy is a girl that does not like being defined by her cultural boundaries
• A tomboy is a girl that does things like boys
• A tomboy is a girl that acts and behaves in ways that is culturally usually associated with boys
Writing ‘creatively’ is a process where self is allowing self a ‘space’ wherein you can be creative in writing. What is important to remember here is that you do not have to have a final version of your definition within the creative phase. 
Making use of the ‘sounding of the word’ information is very useful here as the ‘sounding of the word’ information holds keys to the definition of the word. From the sounds we are able to look at associations to the sound that we had identified within the word and start to write creatively using either the sounds themselves or the associations that we had found to these sounds.
Here is an example with the word ‘Burden’.
Using the word ‘Burden’ we will look at the sounds as well as the associations that we are able to see with this word and then move onto an example of writing creatively using all the information gathered on this word including the sounds we had identified within this word.
 
 
Sounds identified
Bur
Den
 
 
Associations identified with the sounds
bur - bury
den - hiding place
 
 
Writing ‘creatively’.
Burden - An experience where I burry myself in a den where I hide
An experience where I feel locked in and unable to move
The feeling that I have to carry something 'more than' me
An experience that is heavy to carry
An experience where I feel trapped
Feeling I have to 'do something' that I shouldn't have to.
 
Here we have walked a process of ‘writing creatively’ in using all the information that we had collected from the ‘gathering phase’ and transforming the information that we have into sentences preparing ourselves to write a definition for the word that we has chosen.
