To update our desk top computers can only require a single click of the mouse. To update our mind’s operating system may require a thousand clicks. Doing the gestures, while looking at your hand, is a click. Looking at your hand connects your mental operating system to the visual command implied by your gesture. Repetition is required. Use the gestures as often as possible to speed the updating from what you programmed unknowingly to what you choose to program knowingly. The holistic integration of ourselves takes place as we use our gestures repeatedly. Over and over again until we have reprogrammed our mental computer to the new reaction habit patterns we are installing. Keep using the gestures because they are the activating factor in the trilogy of spirit, mind and body. We have the belief that we want to update, the thought that we want to update and the gesture is the click that tells our ninety percent to cooperate.
The first step in updating our habit pattern reactions is developing the self-confi¬dence to confront ourselves and decide which parts of us we approve of and which parts we do not. In ancient times, this was called ‘building character’. Here, we will describe this aspect of our updating as adhering to your personal, highest standards. Using these dynamic, yet simplistic, tools will enable you to grow into the successful, joyful, happy person you have always known you could be. Growing spiritually is, very basically, developing the ability and willingness to feel, give and receive more love. The key word in that statement was ‘give’. You will also grow to love, like and respect yourself and, most importantly, do and say the right things. You have to have the patience to repetitiously use the tools that produce the completed update.
