My Second USM Weekend

My second weekend at USM was a lot like my first. Things went smoothly logistically. I met more great people and had a great time going deeper into the philosophy of Spiritual Psychology.

We learned about how Stackers set up our life lessons based on our own, unique curriculum and our previous responses to our earlier lessons. We learned how pervasive judgments and upsets are in our lives and how the word "because" (as in "I'm upset because...") can lead us to new levels of spiritual healing.

My take home lessons this month:

First, everyone has a purpose and we have two choices - to go toward it or to avoid it. If you choose to avoid your purpose, you don't get to experience the fullness of life.

Second, completing incomplete cycles of action can free up more energy to give to moving closer to your purpose and your ideal life.

Third, "responsibility" is the ability to respond within your self. We are each 100% responsible for anything that goes on inside of us, which means that there is no more blaming or pointing fingers anywhere else. Our reactions, thoughts, judgments, issues are ours and ours alone.

And finally, my teachers say that you've resolved the issues you've resolved and that work is done. USM is the place where any unresolved issues will come forward to be healed for the last time.

I've already experienced the last lesson and welcome the new issues that will come up for me to resolve over the next two years.
