Circle M: Liputan kegiatan yang diadakan Keluarga Manajemen

"1.We are creators. We create our lives out of ideas we hold as beliefs and concepts about people and events. We create through our vision and imagination. That creative force is functioning at all times, whether we are aware of it or not. We can either consciously create a harmonious, joyful life, or we can unconsciously create a hit or miss, chaotic life. The more we see the relationship between what we are thinking and what happens to us, the more we can shift what we do not want into what we prefer. Many people become so engrossed in their drama, that they never consider that they could create a life of fun and ease.

2. Within each of us, there are many sub-personalities who serve as the keepers of our beliefs. It is the job of these sub-personalities to prove that the belief they hold is true. These parts-of-us grab hold of an idea/belief through input from our environment. For instance, we might hold a belief that eating anything we like is the ideal. Yet, another part of you wants to go on a diet and lose weight. The one who likes to eat often wins. Within each of us can be many opposing beliefs: therefore, we move forward toward success and then find ourselves blocked. What you want turns into what you fear. The more neutral we can become, knowing what we prefer, but not holding onto "having to have it" or "fearing it will happen, " we will allow ourselves to reach the highest goals.

3. We are not separate from the source that is God. God, whatever you conceive that force to be, is tremendous energy which animates us, and it fuels our imagination and proves our beliefs. The energy of God is neutral. It is manifesting energy. Because we have free will, we can choose to listen to this positive energy or we can choose to ignore it. Those who ignore it are not allowing themselves to achieve harmony and balance in their lives. Those who choose to listen can accept their lives, in good times and in bad, - allowing for a fulfilling and harmonious life.

4. We are each a soul with a body. We are beings of light, vibrating with iridescent colors that indicate our emotions. Within us, this light can illuminate in sadness or happiness, whichever we choose - this is the acceptance of a higher meaning of self. When we turn away from our Higher Selves, the full energetic beings that we are become limited and afraid. When we expand into the incredible love that envelopes us, we feel the God force that leads us toward completeness.

5. Raise your consciousness, release negative energy and widen your awareness. It is similar to hiking to the top of a mountain where you can see a valley far below. At a greater height we have a much larger perspective. When we increase our vision, we have an unobstructed vantage point, and it becomes easier to let the positive energy work in our lives. It allows us to be the best we can, and it allows us to understand our own particular circumstances - with acceptance and happiness."

=======PRELUDE=======

me : dude.. i had the 2 separate coolest dream last night

blindspot: what? You’ve got A on math course? or finally, you’ve got a new car?

me: No, no it was about the most beautiful Asian girl I’d ever seen

I met her on some sort of a boat/plain.. it felt like we were floating the whole time but still able to walk around.

The second dream is i saw Ann was locked up somewhere in a glass cage

and I remember letting go of Ann, and sitting down in front of this girl at a dinner table.. it’s funny cuz out of all the dinner tables there, no one had any food.

___Months and years flashed before my eyes when I looked at her, I saw all the fun times, all the good stuff.. the romance

and the first thing out of my mouth, while looking at this nearly silhouetted masterpiece of beauty, was "I think I love you"

blindspot: that’s really incredible

me: this is one of the only times you’ll ever hear me talk about love and romance..

but this dream blew my fucking mind

blindspot: what do you think it all means?

me: life’s a journey (floating plane/boat) through which pass many persons that may be suiting to our tastes, but un-obtainable due to personal restraints/inabilities (glass jail) But, no matter what draw backs we may have, there’s always our picture/sense of what beauty and love is, and seldom do we not find it in others.

========The Breakup========

……About 2 weeks Later…….

We extinguished our cigarettes at the same time, the foul stench of tobacco enveloping the air around us. all was silent. nothing more to say, nothing left to do. All I could do was wait for her to say "I guess I’ll go." As the air recirculated around me, her footsteps a distant echo, I didn’t know what to make of the feeling set over me. Was it real? Or was it an illusion. It felt so.. cinematic I dismissed it as a false perception, something as empty as any other hello or goodbye. Were my emotions in check? Were my neurons firing correctly as such to recite the sweet sorrow of a botched relationship? I’d become so accustomed to feeling next to nil that I was surprised when my heart throbbed and echoed moans of regret against my strong upper body. My legs, buckling under the weight of soul at that moment urged to be relieved.

This breakup was my first stand against all I saw wrong in the world.

"I wish you wouldn’t give up this easily." My cell phone chimed over a text message.

"If I was giving up, I wouldn’t have said anything in the first place." I replied.

Another message

"What do you mean? You’re giving up on us."

I didn’t know what to say.. I never did. More times than not I would set aside my emotions and look into myself. "Do I want this?" "Is she right for me?" "Is it worth explaining when I know any sense this could possibly make will be forever lost in translation?" For now, it wasn’t. I didn’t want to have to seem like a harsh prick by saying I give myself priority over anything at this point in my life, nor did I want to give into her emotional traps and corners.

"I think you rushed the emotions between us Ann… it’s not right to do that when you don’t know each other, let alone when you don’t know yourself to begin with. I’m not giving up on us.. it’s just that I’m not giving up on myself. You need someone who sees things the same way as you do, as do I. It’s the only way a healthy relationship can spawn between two people."

My legs felt stronger, and I felt more comfortable in my stance. I felt reassured that I did in fact have my emotions in check.

"What do you mean for yourself? Relationships are for learning and growing… why not do it with someone you care about and feel comfortable with?" she sang her siren songs diligently.

I replied "That’s beside the point. I’m not dependent on others to learn my lessons Ann…

I’ll do that on my own."
