THE HUMAN TRIBE

“To serve the human race in the largest and highest sense, we must bring forth into living expression the truest, the best and the greatest that we can possibly find in the depths of our own sublime being.

And to this end, we need all the inspiration we can receive...(more) from nature, all the love and friendship we can receive from man, and all the wisdom and power we can receive from God.”

I welcome you to
THE HUMAN TRIBE!

One of the things we are here to do is to build a
“Passion Support Group”

“The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.” - Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch
“Nothing great in the world has ever been created without Passion” G.W.F Heigel
“Anyone can dabble, but once you've made that commitment, your blood has that particular thing in it, and it's very hard for people to stop you.” - Bill Cosby
“One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested.” - E.M. Forster

This is a place to help you manifest the Passion(s) in your life and to honor and respect Your True Sacred Self.

“He who postpones the hour of living rightfully, is like the the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses”. Horace

Since I was about 7, I have been aware of my ability to manifest things in my life. Lately, I have been thinking about the larger things that I have attempted to create over the years.
If I can create smaller things, it makes sense that I can create larger things with the same ease, right? SO, what has kept me from doing just that? That is when I had “The Epiphany!”

What about the “Follow Through”?
How much do I follow through on those things that seem harder to allow and/or create in my life?

It takes:

1) Creating the idea

2) Believing you deserve it
“Believe that you will succeed, and you will.” - Dale Carnegie
“Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.” - Henry David Thoreau
“You can have anything you want if you will give up the belief that you can't have it.” - Dr. Robert Anthony

3) Faith

“To one with faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” - St. Thomas Aquinas
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof” - Kahlil Gibran

4) Letting go of fear

and

5) Following through
Noun - fol-low-through -
1. Carrying some project or intention to full completion
2. Pursue to a conclusion or bring to a successful issue
to create something in your life.

So, after talking to my mom one day, I wrote a blog about Naming and Claiming your passion (see the 'Hot Entries' box to the right and click on “Is That Your Passion”) that started opening my awareness to this whole idea.

Then, my sister (Amy) and I were talking about it one day and decided to create a group that would help support us by keeping us honest and accountable……..(thus making us follow through on a regular basis)

WE CAN FIND THE NEEDED AND DESERVED SUPPORT BY CREATING IT!!!!!
(duh)

If someone asks me, “How much have you sung this week?”

or, “What have you created today?”

I will feel more motivated to check into how important the singing and other things are to me. Plus, I will feel more motivated to focus on the things that are priorities.

Don't we all feel better trying to accomplish something when we have support?
(This is why 12 step progams, weight loss groups, having an exersise partner, etc. are so successful!)

So, here's what you do:
I challenge you to give this a try for at least a month.

p.s. You will want to do this on a regular basis (daily or at least every two-three days) to clearly see the results and quickly catch what has held you back in the past.
What have you got to lose, right?

1) Write one-three lists.
One for your goals for today, One for your goals for the week, and One for your goals for the month.
Make the list 5-8 things so you do not become overwhelmed. (In the beginning, you could just make it 2-3 things. Once you get used to it, you can add more.)

2) Post the list(s) at our website.
Go to http://humatribe.zaadz.com
Click on the ”Discussions” tab above to add your posts.

3) Send the list(s) out to everyone on your email list that you feel will support you.
And/or, find a buddy (It could be someone you meet here, or a close friend or relative) that will check in with you periodically. (Your “Passion Buddy”)
Also, ask others to join this group and we can all help one another! (Forward this page as
http://humantribe.zaadz.com
or add this page as an attachment, or copy and paste it into your email)

4) Call or email your “Passion Buddy”
Ask them how they are doing with their goals.
(Specifically ask them about one or two things off of their list)

REMEMBER: The more supportive YOU are with your Buddy, the more supportive THEY will be with you!! We are here to help each other, right?!?

I welcome suggestions, support, thoughts, ideas, etc. on how to build this website to be more supportive of this group. I want to add links, make the page flow more, figure out how to connect with people, etc….

Now, lets get to creating and manifesting our lives!!!

So, what do you think is the most difficult feeling for you to have? What is the one feeling you avoid at all costs? Has that feeling ever gone away or dissipated by avoiding it?

The thing I seem to avoid the most is rejection. I am so afraid of what others might think of me. It keeps me in a very co-dependent place if I let it. SO…………

I am working on a few of my friends' workshops. One is from Rapahel Cushnir. I went to his workshop, “The One Thing Holding You Back” about a month ago. He tells us to FEEL EVERYTHING. I have been doing that a lot the past month and it has opened up things in me that I did not even imagine possible. I am reading his book, “Setting Your Heart on Fire and doing home study with some members of my Unity church on the book….. WOW. (Please check out his website: www.livingthequestions.org)

The other person I have been working with is Karen Drucker. I have been looking at my Light and checking in from time to time to see where my light is. Please check out the other Pod I facilitate: www.shinebrag.zaadz.com

Please read the blog and the Pod there. I started it after meeting and going to Karen Drucker's “Let Your Light Shine” Workshop, I have been really listening to my inner critic and getting to the place where I love talking to her. She has a lot of insite if I just take the time to listen. She also has a lot of hang-ups. But now I can remind her to “go get a latte” and let me deal with that stuff. I do not have to let the judge and jury keep me from my best and highest good.

Anyone else have thoughts about this?

Love and Blessings,
Tara

I make every attempt not to avoid the onset of any feeling. When the negative arrives, I make a point to watch it arrive -and watch it go away again just as quickly. Thus is the nature of all things and thus, per practice, is the only way we can come to understand the entirety of things.

When negative emotion arises it is best to grab hold of it, look into it, study it; break it down into its composites and come to an understanding of its origins and roots. When one finds such roots; like an Axe or hatchet your awareness will swoop down and sever the detrimental emotion as if a hot knife through butter.

On a more personal note, that which I have confronted most often in my career as a human, of late, is jealousy. It is jealousy founded on absolutely nothing, in the real world; it is entirely the product of illusion. The fear of abandonment. The imagined moment when my wife is stolen away from me by some handsome millionaire in an Italian sports car. You know. Stupid shit.

This as I say is founded on nothing but the moist and fertile grounds for suffering so plentiful in this world of illusion. I trust my wife, she trusts me. But when you have so much trust -and love- the ego is free to roam both like a ball park. It is both batter and pitcher; or at the table, it is holding all the cards. The stronger something is, in other words, the more determined brother or sister ego is going to be in destroying it.

Cheers.
