Attraction - The Power to Change Your Core Identity

You can go to any small community college and many of the high schools across the land, and you'll find a huge variety of evening classes intended to foster growth. Anytime you gain new knowledge, you're growing and developing. Some knowledge, however, is considered more "useful" than other knowledge.

If you're learning skills that expand your career options, or increase your ability to relate meaningfully to others, or deepen your understanding of yourself and your fellowman, this is considered practical and beneficial.

Please note that even if you never put your new knowledge into practice, it's still considered a positive influence in your overall life experience. You may be better equipped to understand the world around you, they say.

Now, I've known people who were eternal students, staying in college for years but never actually entering the work market.

And I've also seen people become seminar junkies, going through one weekend intensive after another, but never actually using the knowledge they gained to implement any changes in their life, their behavior, or their ability to relate to others.

These people are, in most cases, honestly seeking to improve themselves, but they're stuck in the preparation stage. And as long as they feel the need for more preparation, it may not be possible for them to step forward and begin using all that useful information they've acqB59uired. Their core personality must undergo a change before they can leave the stage of learning.

The shift from learner to practitioner involves a shift at the deepest core of the personality. And until this shift takes place, it is nearly impossible to leave the classroom and strike out as a self-reliant practitioner of the knowledge.

The word "metanoia" is used to describe this kind of profound transformation. It is often used to describe a deep spiritual change, such as a religious conversion. When a religious non-believer undergoes metanoia, there is often a dramatic alteration in their beliefs, their values and their allegiances. Their behavior becomes markedly different.

But this same kind of change is necessary before any student can become a professional.

Take medical students for example: they must master vast amounts of knowledge before they are considered qualified to practice medicine, but an internal change is also necessary before they can see themselves as a doctor. Until that metanoia shift takes place, they will always feel as though they're in over their heads -- a pretender.

Law students, seminary students, counselors, beginners in every career must face this kind of deep inner change in how they see themselves before they can be comfortable as practicing professionals.

Their internal identity must change.

This same metanoia is necessary before ANY student, learning ANY type of knowledge, can make it their own and begin using it confidently and naturally.

This is especially true for mastering your inner work.

You can read about affirmations, ASSERTions, programming, treating, praying, meditating, and every other spiritual discipline known to humanity. In addition, you can go to all the seminars you want and listen to all the tapes in the library, but until you begin to see yourself as the master of this knowledge, you'll always remain a student.

In other words, you need to go through metanoia -- a shift in how you see and think of yourself -- before you can feel like you're the owner of your new life. Until then, any successes will be temporary.

The good news is, it's not that hard to do once you know exactly what you're looking for.

And what you're looking for -- the goal you seek -- is change at your innermost core, where you hold your own concepts of yourself. This is metanoia; the only change that will empower you to live a different life. Nothing else goes deep enough to do the job.
