My Experience With The Six Steps

10/21/2016

"Beliefs may seem incredibly creative in their expression, but it is reassuring to know that always the same one or two beliefs are at play when I get out of my inner balance – and there ‘s nothing bad happening, it’s just old beliefs at play. It’s my decision whether I continue to believe in them or not."
"When I read the Six Steps for the first time, I was not impressed much. I read the questions from beginning to end, tested them superficially on an acute “problem” – and did not feel a great effect. I thought I already knew this kind of spiritual-psychological theory and that this particular direction would take me where I had already been.
Nevertheless there remained a certain fundamental interest. A vague idea, a feeling – sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker – that there is something waiting for me. Andrea visited me shortly afterwards for a few days, and this feeling was further strengthened. She beamed with joy, in a way that I had not previously experienced with her. This happiness infected me too. As soon as I entered my apartment, I could feel the high vibration of her presence. But it was not only the good mood that had such a positive effect on me. I had never before had the feeling that no expectations were being made of me. I felt what it really meant to take responsibility for one’s own life.
As soon as I learned that a workshop was going to take place in Berlin in 2015, I decided to attend, and this really catapulted me down one level — the emotional level – this level I had previously never touched.
In group discussion in which Paul guided me through the Six Steps, it was easy for me to drop me. Previously I had held a specific goal in mind — to leave my negative feeling behind me. Here I really answered the questions step by step. It was not my intention to try to get rid of something. I had only the knowledge that my feeling was a negative opinion about me. Suddenly there was room for what felt like deeper peace and love. It was not the first time that I felt this feeling, but in this intensity and for such a long time it was new. Late in the evening my girlfriend and I returned from Berlin with the remote bus. We sat beaming in our seats, full of happiness, and arrived at our home in the morning — still just as happy (which is saying something, as a deep conviction of mine is that I need enough sleep to be happy; -)).
The Six Steps have since become part of my everyday life. In many a situation I think of the Six Steps and go through them and feel this peace. Sometimes, however, I have been doing the same rush as the first time, then I do not feel the same peace.
But the Six Steps are becoming part of my thinking. Sometimes there are only individual steps or questions that help me to feel my love and peace, or to realize what is important in a situation. This happens when think someone is bad then the thought “It’s about me.” comes. Or if I’m trying to just force away my hassles again – then comes the thought “What do you feel? Feel it, rather than push it away. You need have no fear.” Or if I’m afraid of being unable to create an object, then I think “Love thy value comes not from outside but is given to you. You have everything in you what you need.”.
It surprised me how many situations bring up minor injuries and annoying characteristics of everyday life. Beliefs may seem incredibly creative in their expression, but it is reassuring to know that always the same one or two beliefs are at play when I get out of my inner balance – and there ‘s nothing bad happening, it’s just old beliefs at play. It’s my decision whether I continue to believe in them or not."
