Benchmarking Your Growth

"Life is a meaningless energy going nowhere for no reason."

Swami Muktananda

 

"Nothing I see means anything." - A Course In Miracles

 

The Secret's Bill Harris of Centerpointe Research Institute shared at a Centerpointe retreat, "Nothing has any intrinsic meaning.  If there were an intrinsic meaning for everything, everyone in the world would apply the same meaning to everything and they do not."   What this means to us, is we can ascribe whatever meaning we choose to what is in our lives.  Most of the meanings we ascribe to things are the meanings we were taught and internalized growing up.  For the most part these are unconscious.   Once we learn to bring them into conscious awareness, we can begin to replace them with meanings of our choosing that will lead to the results, peace and happiness we desire.
   

The only true purpose in Life is to grow in consciousness and awareness.  To connect with our Divine Nature and express our True Self, which is Universal Love.

 

So.... How do we know how we are doing on this path of growth?

Benchmarking.   

Businesses employ benchmarking to determine how they are doing and to assess their growth for their stakeholders.   All businesses are is a collective of people benchmarking the collective consciousness, the business.  Individuals can employ benchmarking in their own business of living (life) just as effectively.   Successful and happy people do.

 

How do we benchmark our lives?

 

Many people use ideals as a something to strive for, as their goal.  To use an ideal as your target is to set yourself up for disappointment and frustration. Ideals are concepts, just like the horizon is a concept.  The horizon doesn't really exist... it is a concept we create to describe a visual perception.   If you try to travel to the horizon, the horizon never gets any closer to you, but remains at the same distance from you.   Ideals are like that, they are unreachable, unattainable.   You'll never get "there".

 

Instead of using an ideal, take notice of where you are in your life presently and benchmark it.  This can be by taking stock of  financial earnings/worth, possessions, states of relationship(s), health/fitness level, intellectual level, etc. Then work towards moving down your path in the direction you have consciously  chosen.    We can assess where we are on our path by our looking at our current and new benchmarks.  For example, if traveling down the path of acquiring a new Mercedes, once that Mercedes is acquired that benchmark is reached.   You can now look back and measure the distance you have traveled and growth gained in doing so. 

The secret to real and lasting happiness is knowing that the real value comes not in the acquisition of the Mercedes but in the growth experienced and the expansion achieved in reaching that benchmark.   

The same can be done with different levels of income.   Earning $50,000 is one benchmark, $100,000 another and a $1,000,000 yet another one.   The true value in the achievement of each income benchmark is the growth that has to occur to reach each one.   The growth necessary to earn a million dollars is greater than the growth necessary to earn $250,000.   The Secret's James Ray always relates how one of his early mentors told him years ago to set a goal to become a millionaire.  Not for the millions of dollars he'd accrue, but to become the person he would have to become to be that millionaire. 
 

By benchmarking we allow and encourage ourselves to experience feelings of satisfaction and accomplishment as we live our lives consciously expanding.   

We can't take anything with this when we depart this Life.   We arrive with nothing... we leave with nothing.   We are just 'borrowing' what we get to enjoy and play with here for a period of time.    Suffering arises when people become attached to the things they are "borrowing".    It's much more beneficial to look at these acquisitions and accomplishments as benchmarks in our conscious expansion.

GENEVA - Swiss scientist Michel Mayor, who heads the European team that announced the discovery of a new potentially habitable planet, has his sights set on an even bigger target, detecting signs of extraterrestrial life.

Mayor predicts that top researchers are less than two decades away from being able to detect real signs of such life — if it exists.

"There's only one thing we can do. We can do science, we can do experiments. We have the methodology, the ability to do this simply on science, so let's do it," the University of Geneva scientist said Wednesday.

AND here:   http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18296608/   for full story below:
Besides having the right temperature, the new planet is probably full of liquid water, hypothesizes Stephane Udry, the discovery team's lead author and another Geneva astronomer. But that is based on theory about how planets form, not on any evidence, he said.

"Liquid water is critical to life as we know it," co-author Xavier Delfosse of Grenoble University in France, said in a statement. "Because of its temperature and relative proximity, this planet will most probably be a very important target of the future space missions dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial life. On the treasure map of the Universe, one would be tempted to mark this planet with an X."

Walk The Maze of Life

So.... if Life is A Game.

What type of Game might Life be?

 

I believe that it is always an expanding practice to question the nature of "what is" and look right into the heart of what we hold as so real and solid to see what is really there.    It often leads to great in-sight.   It's in this spirit I offer this for your contemplation.

The Game of Life could be a Giant Maze.

 

Consider that we are 'sourced' into this life by God/The Zero Point Field/All That Is arriving into this existence at a point which I will call the entry to the Maze.    We know that when we die we return to a point much like the point at which we entered, or were born, the non-physical.  This is not dissimilar to the entry and exit of a maze which are often the same point.   

If you have ever walked through a Giant Maze, you know that once you enter you are essentially "lost".  You can only perceive your current reality and surroundings,  you can not see beyond where you are or see the whole maze.   You have limited perception.   You can not control the outcome, and the more you intelligently try to control, the more "lost" you are likely to become.  It is only by trusting and learning to use your intuition that you find your way out.   You walk and walk and walk, taking one route after another, learning along with each step and misstep.   One route may progress you forward on your path another may regress you backward on your path.   Sound like Life a bit?   All step are experiences, all are assimilated and offer potential for growth.   Some people are faster maze walkers than others, others take longer and take more steps.   But ultimately all reach the destination, back to the point of entry and exit the maze.

A Life experienced?

Maybe too, quite possibly,  we walk this Maze as an  "outreach" of a greater Consciousness curious to experience multiple experiences simultaneously in order to experience itself go through the process?   

Maybe this Maze Walk (Life) is really about the experience of the Process (the Walk) itself and maybe the one ultimately experiencing it isn't who we think it is?   

 

Just maybe.
