Most people run when they hear the word commitment and most people have no idea what a stand really is. A commitment is something you give your life to, whether it is your whole life or just a year to, or it could be a month. The time frame of your commitment isn’t important, what’s important is the commitment behind what you SAY you are committed to. An Olympic athlete SAYS they are going to be in the Olympics and they SAY they are going to commit to it. This is the power of the word, that we get to CREATE what we will produce into reality.

In order to get to a place of creation, we learned that it takes coming from nothing, which is being present to the moment, not committing because you are excited, not committing because you are sad. For example, you hear about something that really excites you, this means your ego triggered your emotional body, and now you have your excited (nuero peptides, get info from the bleep) chemical rushing your body, and then you COMMIT. This is not a commitment, because it is not coming from nothing, an empty space.

OR on the other hand, you eat poorly all weekend, and on Sunday you are feeling guilty. The guilty feeling you get is an addiction from your body, and it is a pattern that you actually created years ago. This is a place where your ego and emotional body go, to remind you that you are bad, wrong, not good enough, and underneath that, a failure. This is merely more unconsciousness and the conditioned past based mind has a muscle over your SELF, and you are asleep to it, a slave to it.

People are waking up building a new muscle, not allowing the pain addicted body to go to these places, being conscious of their ego and not letting it create the stories and beliefs from the past. This is the conscious movement millions are going through. Waking up, to creating and experiencing life and situations, and circumstances they way they SAY and choose it is going to be.

So a commitment comes from nothing and once you have now committed, from a space of nothing, you have now created a future you are living into. You, consciously created a future you are living into. Not from fear, not from sadness, not from excitement, trying to get somewhere, trying to prove, trying to compensate. You are created something because you CHOSE it. And why did you choose it? It doesn’t matter why. Having a reason for something is still coming from your ego. I chose it because of xyz… That makes your reasons have power, and you not have the power. Most people are completely a slave to ‘their’ reasons. They have a reason for everything. The reasons are actually the ego, more of the false self. “I” have reasons, they are ‘my’ reasons. Just more ego. Reasons take away power and the false self. Choose because you choose. Because you SAY. This give you power, because you get to say how things are going to go. YOU get the power because you say.  (put in a quote here from a past historic master, about power. “Jesus said that we have all the power within, that we can choose our life)

So you now have a future you are living into. Well the next question is, how do we have the future become real? How do have the result show up in the outer world, like flower blossoming from the ground? This is where your STAND comes in. A commitment is your work, drive, and level of participation. That is your commitment. How bad do you want it? How much time are you going to put in, that’s a commitment. A stand is a little different. A STAND is something you SAY you are a stand for. GHANDI was a STAND for the freeing of India and ending the violence. He did not eat for months, he was standing for something new to be possible. Why? Because he said it was his stand. Are you a stand that you become financially free? Are you a stand that you have love and romance? A stand comes from a place that this is how it is going to be, and nothing can take you away from it, because YOUR WORD is at stake. A stand is in direct proportion with having your WORD matter. This is a crucial part of the creation part, having your word MATTER.
