In 'Playing the Matrix' A program for Living Deliberately and Creating Consciously; Mike Dooley tries to drive home the point, Life is not something that happens to you. You happen to life. You came first. ......The back cover:
Divided into 7 chapters with Notes from The Universe, the book covers:
1) Understanding "Miracles":
To Perform Miracles:
i) Possess intention to achieve desired end result and
ii) Humbly, if naively, physically move in the desired direction
The stunning similarity between digital GPS navigation and the seemingly miraculous mechanics behind every manifestation are we need to:
i) Program Destination
ii) Put in gear and drive - Even though you don't know "how", you must nevertheless do something.
You enter the Bermuda Triangle of Manifesting when you insist upon or attach your hopes to the following end results:
i) Details - Don't wast your time pining for unimportant details. All details are unimportant. You may want them, don't insist upon them.
ii) Hows - Surrender and let go of how you think or how you may want, your dream to come true - these are the "cursed hows"
iii) Specific People - Release yourself of any expectations you may have for the specific behavior of specific people.
Your default settings are to thrive, to live in abundance with grace, style, ease, health and all that your heart desires. The steps that will get you there are easy. We need to know our part.
i) We don't have to know all things to know our self and how to create change.
ii) Notice that we are a streaming manifestor. Don't worry on how this is done, just notice.
iii) Thoughts become things, words give you wings.
iv) Believing the illusions are "real" ignites passion, inspires dreams and sparks adventure.
2) The Matrix:
Two reasons for our hits and misses are:
i) Misunderstandings
a) Our power and responsibilities
b) The flow of all manifestations
ii) Contradictions - The Nuances
a) Not knowing what we really want
b) Attaching to the details
c) Messing with the "cursed hows"
Some of the most important lessons concerning the Matrix are:
i) The need to micromanage one's life stems from a failure to understand life's magic.
ii) Wisely defining our dreams is a huge factor in whether they can come true.
iii) By having general end results, a more effortless approach to creating change emerges.
iv) All you've ever learned about living deliberately can still be used with just a few tweaks.
v) Your happiness is key to sparking great tangible and intangible changes in your life.
3) Knowing what you (Really) want:
i) You already know exactly what you want, when you keep it general.
ii) When you keep it general, you shoot past your own known objections.
iii) When your end results are general, you never have to doubt, second-guess, or quit- failure becomes impossible.
iv) The more general your end results, the faster and easier they'll manifest.
v) Let your highest life priorities for change help you choose where to begin.
4) Getting into the details: The second step of three for playing the Matrix. Realize your idea of awesome details, limited to your life's experiences, would always pale in comparison to what divine intelligence might have in store for you, based upon the direction you give it with your end results.
i) Details are visualized to get you excited about your end results, not to be your end results.
ii) There's always more than one right answer, path, possibility, partner, or nuance. So, insist upon none or you exclude all other.
iii) When you insist upon any detail, you exclude a virtually infinite number of better ones.
iv) When details become end results, you're actually messing with the cursed hows.
v) Make your menu lists - tall, dark, and handsome, whatever - just don't attach to them.
5) Taking Action: Life is such a precious, fleeting gift. When it comes to formulating the action steps you'll be taking, consider those things that long ago thrilled you, because chances are they still do.
i) Taking action summons resources, emboldens beliefs, and avails you of life's magic.
ii) For every step you take, the Universe takes 10,000
iii) Sometimes knocking on one door forces another to open
iv) What you do is not as important as that you do it.
v) By trying many paths, you automatically navigate around invisible limiting beliefs.
vi) Never stop asking for help, trying new directions, responding to conditions, innovating, evolving - stay in motion.
vii) The more you enjoy and can afford what you do, the more specific you can be.
viii) Always consider your unique strength, likes, and preferences when formulating each pathway you'll try out.
6) Expedited Delivery You are inclined to succeed with default settings for success and happiness through the roof in every area of your life.
i) Approach creating change as play, not work; as fun, not mandatory.
ii) Thinking positive thoughts is never enough; you must act on those thoughts.
iii) A tip on legend making: Do what you most want to do and do it your way.
iv) Every single challenge of your life bears a gift, "lucky" you.
v) Playing make-believe is the fastest way to believing, and believing is the fastest way to receiving.
7) The Time of Your life
i) This is it, right here, right now, as good as it's going to get.
ii) Practice the art of selfish service.
iii) Your life is awesome, in part, because of your present challenges.
iv) The secret to living the life of your dreams is to indulge now to any degree you can.
v) Happiness does not mean you've settled for less; it signals you're ready for more.
