Life School - with Cristin Sullivan-Metzler RN, BSN, MBA, AYS - Empowerment Coach & Freedom Finder WINN – We Invent New Normals Website: https://www.youwinn.org/  Today's Topic: Earth School - based on the work of David Hawkins PhD Inner world creates/informs outer world. -----Notes---- To Me By Me Through Me As Me   Life is an "earth school" - learning the laws of cause & effect, emotional awareness Chronological age isn't emotional age. We give the story meaning. All levels are good. We cannot skip any levels. Kindergarteners don't know trigonometry and we wouldn't shame them for not knowing that. Every phase if foundational and necessary. Not a straight line or the shortest / fastest route. An event is just an event, it is up to us to give it meaning.   To Me: Kindergarten. Life is happening to me. The world is controlling me. Power lives outside of me. In survival mode. Reactivity. "Why does this always happen to me?" Fear, anger, shame, resentment, helplessness. Relationships - You hurt me. Money - This economy is ruining me.  Strengths: Emotional honesty. Raw authenticity. Survival intelligence   What is my meaning of the word "surrender?" If I surrender, I accept defeat or danger.   What is this teaching me? Learn to build safety in the nervous system. Shift from blame to responsibility.   Maybe life isn't just happening to me. Maybe I can participate?   By Me: Pre-teen/teenager. Life is happening "by me." I must make it happen. I create my outcomes; my actions influence my results. No longer blaming world, personal power is increasing. Achiever mode, "get it done!" Therapy. Boundaries. Mindset work. Improve health. Once I… or If only…   Emotions: Courage. Pride. Ambition. Determination. Learning personal agency.   Relationships - communicate better Money-better strategy Conflict - strategize   Strengths: Courage, discipline, accountability leaderships, achievement, growth, self-development, strategized.   What is my meaning of the word "surrender?" Surrender = If I surrender, that means I failed to achieve.  Align effort to reality vs forcing outcomes.   Question: What can I do differently, what can I release? Eventually effort alone is exhausting.   *What is triggering my "to me?" What does this fear mean? What is your message?   Example: Fear - Feeling unsafe, something trying to get me. (Not bad or wrong). Just a source of information. What does my fear need? What is the message? What has the meant in the past?   Data is now our "lion" in our modern era to our reptilian brain.   Mastered achievement but not fulfilled… move into through me.   Through Me:   University level. I am not the sole do-er. There is a larger, MORE. I am a conduit. Flow replaces force. Don't have to align with a religion. Some source of power greater than us. Example: the ocean, cannot stop a wave. The ocean is greater than you, you cannot stop the waves. Nature, Higher Self, Allah, God, Buddha, Tao, etc.   Emotions: trust, openness, inspiration, gratitude, intuition.   Collaborate with life. Creativity. More allowing. Less force.   Relationships: What is this dynamic teaching me? What is the gift in this event. Money: How can I create value Conflict: collaborative effort, work with to find solutions   Strengths: Service, giving, emotional maturing, alignment, inspired action   Surrender = partnering with life. Embodied responsibility. I trust the river and I will go with the flow and everything is preparation for the next step.   What is life asking of me? (Life is conspiring for me). To explore, to develop? Then deeper realization…then we realize we are not separate from Life.     As Me:   Graduate school. Student and school aren't separate. Life is happening as me. I am. I am not separate. Identity softens. Simplistic. Deep compassion without effort. Non-reactivity.   Emotions: peace, unconditional love, equality, everything has value, I am not separate. Non-attachment to outcomes. Unity conscious. Emotional regulation.   *Not dissociation. Radical embodiment.   Relationships - mirrors - something that is not accepted within me Money - value in motion   Surrender = being present, resisting nothing. What would love do here?   Evolve & expand consciousness. Not many people operate at this level (like 7 people worldwide).   Simple framework but not easy.   Key Points: What is your base operating system? You are moving into different systems daily? Stress moves into survival (back to kindergarten). No level is superior. Growth is a spiral.   "If earth is a school - then every challenge is coursework. Every relationship is a classroom. Every trigger is a teacher. Graduation isn't escape, it's embodiment" - Cristin Metzler-Sullivan Resources Cristin Recommends  Jung / Dreams / Tarot: Jung Platform https://jungplatform.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqyoIKnGhKF1Bau1HcAyEnEnKw_uegpq_eMASxf_MoYYQ6vY-dX   Astrology: https://www.astro.com/cgi/genchart.cgi?gm=a1;nhor=1;nho2=1;btyp=2;mth=a;sday=1;smon=4;syr=2023;rs=0;ntim=1680381972   Quantum / Consciousness / Spirituality: Tom Campbell – Spotify podcasts or You Tube, website: https://www.my-big-toe.com/ Dr. Joe Dispenza – books, podcasts, You Tube, website: https://drjoedispenza.com/ Peter Sage – books, podcasts, You Tube, website: https://petersage.com/ Dr. Deepak Chopra – books, podcasts, You Tube, website: https://www.deepakchopra.com/ Eckhart Tolle: books, podcasts, You Tube, website: https://eckharttolle.com/   Yoga / Ayurveda: Book – The Bhagavad Gita When Love Comes to Light https://www.amazon.com/When-Love-Comes-Light-Bringing/dp/1611808170/ref=sr_1_1?crid=32C4YK9WIUK4E&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ok_u9A0ZHynH3hXuB7v8BHYd_lGtxGgYO_gvKoCX4OAELNph-bG7zH6IiPWQT-daQbjKAzZhpmMtRdPG8L65DqGWYiEyOw9PoNiI46_CXIfIa_bX6I8PdQnOjhpI4C5oMCCB3RfjpTc066hHZw_d2IFYQvGK4zms6yqoXDHZZjgJpnEbMKcnV_v1ZdzNkU_yoMOiiS05fWznRcPLYsDbI22gPViFwgEDyG6mOZc6Cg8.nCrKk-_30-JEzIEZBgXD9_x0973eCjcZ8MgcSUJ4DPc&dib_tag=se&keywords=when+love+comes+to+light&qid=1771684515&sprefix=when+love+comes+to+light%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-1 Bhagavad Gita: https://www.amazon.com/Bhagavad-Gita-Translation-Stephen-Mitchell/dp/0609810340/ref=sr_1_1?crid=32OGTEUU0B8TI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KokohJVlxLcf0mctIkPxhsUDGdOUJMZurIIemWL4D7XbeGICCPIcgzgIEuKS7b8E8IFO6eJ3V2hgFkbNLMykLwL8CtQlwWTgkQHzxKJPPlw6e3eqydSxvfvXjSbH2GJk6Dxv61C1WkagBllg8Gd9kSYeTU1bZSbrqbr8bvTLIwiKOvfHSr6FWoszpW5tuGUD1QqakXzj4vNHuHxv2NiscNk5vzP6B6t41TF4sqm0i7Q.NcN_X1mQmlk9h3dswi3NgtSJMV-G5YxkxTEQbE4Dx34&dib_tag=se&keywords=stephen+mitchell+bhagavad+gita&qid=1771684581&sprefix=stephen+mitch%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-1
