JASON AND THE DISTRAUGHTS

You may not realise it, but we communicate with each other all the time. We used to call it telepathy, the kids call it 'vibes'. Carl Jung called it the collective unconscious and today's scientists call it ,orphic resonance. It's not important what label we put on it; the important thing is that we can learn to use this communication for truly practical purposes. Let me give you and example.

A few years back a man and his wife came to see me at one of my self-healing classes in Caloundra. They told me they were very worried about their teenage son, Jason. It appears that Jason was staying out all night, running about with what the parents considered a 'hooligan element', and generally getting up to no good. They feared that he would end up in real trouble with the police. If they tried to talk to him about it he would become all the more rebellious and aggressive.

I explained that the more they put their energy into fear of "what's to become of Jason" the more they underscored his own insecurities. Without realising it they were creating, at the collective unconscious level, a recipe for disaster.

"Well, what can we do about it? We can't stop worrying. We love him!"

I asked them to 'turn the other cheek' as it were, of their creative energy. Instead of communicating fear - communicate warmth and affection. Picture Jason in your mind's eye, at his very best, and surround that image with your love. Really feel the emotion. But in this imagery do not ask him to change in any way. Do this every time you begin to worry or criticise him in your mind.

They probably thought I was nuts... but they said they'd have a shot at it.

Some months later, when I was giving a mind-power workshop in Northern Queensland, the parents turned up there. They said I wouldn't believe what happened to Jason. "Try me", I suggested. "Well, " they said "we did that meditation and it turned out that Jason got interest in surfing. One of his mated had a board and Jason found that he had a flair for it. He's given up his night activities and puts all his energy into the day."

About a year later I met the parents again and they told me that Jason had a full time job on the Gold Coast and was competing in surfing events. Before he left for the Gold Coast they said they were sitting in the living room congratulating themselves on the change in Jason when in he walks with a big grin on his face. "What are you looking so smug about, Jason?" they asked. "Look, " replied Jason, " I've gotta' tell you this. Since you guys took up meditation... gosh you've changed!"
