Hi this is Christy Whitman with the Quantum
Success show where you can get your information and inspiration to create your
your desires.
Today we are going to talk about concrete thinking.
What I mean by concrete thinking is good
or bad. Right! I know when I grew up as a
as a child my mom... and is still very much like this today. Something is either good
or it's bad and there is no shades of grey in between.
As matter fact there's not anything in the universe isn't just good
or bad. There's like 50 Shades of Grey
and it's upside down isn't it?
So there are 50 Shades of Grey.
There's lots of different choices. Things are not just right or wrong
up her down good or bad. That's actually very childlike
language and it's funny you know when a child comes in the world
and we start teaching them our language; those are one of the things that we teach them. We teach
the the opposites. We teach them you know
you know up/down, left/ right, good/bad.
you know and I remember even as I am learning French with the boys
you know it's like
aller a gauche ou aller tout. En haut en bas
up and down. So you know
it's like there is always like these opposites and very concrete ways
of thinking
and as I watching the kids you know play
they're thinking like okay well this is two pirates. This is a good pirate.
This is a bad pirate. Or this is a good car. This is a bad car.
This is the bad guy, this is the good guy.
This is the good guy, this is the bad guy. So you can see children think that way.
Things are either good or bad and they don't get there are all these
other options. We are in a Universe where
where everything.... it's all inclusive; includes everything. So yes there's good
and bad. It's not just good or bad.
So for me one of the huge shifts and realizations
I have been having lately is that
being raised by a mom that has..and a father too
that has very concrete thinking. that you if you do this you are
bad. Bad girl. If you do this you are good.
so hearing that as a small child and I'm sure many
you can relate to this you know. If you did something
that's considered good and then you are like okay I'm good
and then as you grow up you are told these things that are good.
These are the things that are bad and if you do those things that are bad
now it kind of feeds into now I am bad.
I'm a bad girl. I'm a good girl. so there's this split
that happens within us where we think ok, I am either good
good or I'm bad and it's like a split that happens within our whole entire beingness
and the thing we have to recognize is that we have to
really come to a place of owning all the different parts of us because we're not
all bad. There are there's times when I can certainly be a ***.
Absolutely! There are times when I can be totally impatient. I mean there are times
when I
can you know just be a little rebel in my head. So those
are bad qualities considering what my mom taught me
right? But then there's also things that I do that are good when I am in moments
being loving and I'm being patient and I'm being kind.
There's all those aspects. All of that. It's a holographic universe.
I'm a holographic person in this holographic universe. It's an inclusion
based universe where it's not just this or
that its and... so in the moments when
we maybe make a mistake
or we show up maybe the way we didn't want to. Maybe we were inpatient in that situation.
you know not going into that identification as the bad girl or
the bad boy. But going into you know
I'm all of it. I am good. In a couple of weeks we're going to start
really going through the different affirmations that we use for the Enlightened Kids
program so that when kids grow up they can have these certain affirmations
that they can grow up with that really solidifies the belief that's gonna
empower them in the world. We are going to go into that in different
Quantum Success Shows. But for now it's like really recognize
where you're having concrete thinking. Is everything just up and down
black and white or are there are 50 Shades of Grey
in between? you know, is there different degrees?
Things aren't always just you know...... hot and cold.
Sometimes it is pleasant in the middle. So I
invite you to start really feeling this within your own being and recognizing where within
yourself; your judging
yourself as being bad or good. Because why this all ties in
is because when we are identifying ourselves
as being bad, no good, not worthy enough not lovable
you know all of those things. It effects
what we create and attract in the world. It effects how we move about our day.
It affect our feelings of you know do I feel happy and do I feel joy in my
life?
And so these are the things we really need to start paying
attention to because again that concrete thinking can be evolved.
It's just... it's just another level of consciousness.
you know as kids, as kids grow they start to learn
that there are different shades and there's different options.
But many of us are stuck in very child like thinking
and evolving past that is really going to service us well.
Allowing us to be fully embodied in all the wonderful colors that we really are.
