The power of your unconscious guidance system - an aritcle by Dr Robert Anthony

The other day we talked about making the present moment your friend.
This should always be your primary goal in life.  When the present
moment is your friend, you will AUTOMATICALLY be in Alignment and
in the Flow.

If this is true and the results are so beneficial, why don't most
people make the present moment their friend? Why do they fight it
and resist it?  The answer lies in the power of our UNCONSCIOUS
GUIDANCE System. Remember, the UGS is simply an unconscious
survival system.

The UGS can never be in alignment with the present moment, which is
to say it can never be in alignment with Life, since its very
nature compels it to ignore, resist or at the very least devalue
the present moment.  Time is what the UGS lives on.  The stronger
the UGS, the more it takes over your life. Almost every thought you
think is concerned with the past or the future. When this happens
your sense of Self depends on the past for your identity and the
future for your happiness. Fear, anxiety, expectations, regrets,
guilt, anger are the dysfunctions of the UGS.

There are three ways which the UGS will resist the present moment;
first, as a means to an end, second, as an obstacle, and third as
an enemy.  Let's look at all three and see if this pattern operates
in you.

To the UGS, the present moment can only be useful as a means to an
end. IT convinces you that some future moment is more important
than now, even though the future moment never comes except as
another present moment. In other words, you are never fully here
because you are always busy trying to get elsewhere.

When this happens, the present moment is regarded and treated as an
obstacle to be overcome. This is where impatience, frustration and
stress arise in our lives. Life, which is always "now", is seen as
a problem and since we are convinced we must struggle to have what
we want, that problem or struggle has to be solved before we can be
happy and fulfilled, or really start living - or so we think.

The Catch 22 here is that is for every problem we solve, another one
always pops up. So as long as the present moment is seen as an
obstacle, there will never be an end to our problems.

At worst, the present moment is treated as if it were an enemy. When
you hate what you are doing, complain about your surroundings,
curse the things that have happened or are happening, or when you
get into "should'" and "shouldn't", blaming or accusing, then you
are arguing with "what is".  You are essentially making Life the
enemy and Life says, "If you want a fight, then I will show you
what fighting is all about."

The vital question you must ask yourself many times a day until you
'get it', is "What is my relationship with the present moment?"
Then become alert and find the answer. The moment you see the
dysfunction and correct it by accepting the present moment, just as
it is, you are free. After a while it almost becomes comical how
insane we can be when we fight the present moment.  The good news
is we always have a choice. With observation and awareness comes
the power of choice - the choice to say "yes" to the present moment
and make it your friend.

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT!  No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.

Truly Caring for Your Success!
