      Beyond the Words - Peter Mulraney

      A miracle

      I am a miracle

      Iwake up in the morning. How does that happen? Where was I when I was asleep?

      What triggers my return to conscious awareness of my body and surroundings?

      When I awake from my slumber, I have a sense of being alive. What keeps me functioning?

      Am I breathing?

      Or is some presence breathing me?

      I’m present in the physical world through a seemingly solid body that scientists are now telling me is composed primarily of nothing - both my body and the physical world are apparently swirling vibrations of energy.

      How does that work? How do I maintain the illusion of being a solid form in the physical world?

      I have self-awareness but I have no recollection of who or where I was before I came here.

      I’ve defined myself with stories but I know I’m not my stories.

      I am a mystery to myself.

      I am a miracle.

      Amazing

      I am amazing

      Iam self-aware. Otherwise I’d never know how amazing I am.

      I look around, notice things, and wonder about them.

      I give everything in my environment a meaning so that it makes sense to me.

      I have a body I can move by deciding I want to be somewhere else or to perform a particular task.

      I have no idea how those messages move instantaneously from my mind to my limbs. But they do, and I’m able to move my body from one location to another or to persuade parts of it to perform selected actions.

      I can shift my centre of attention without moving my body simply by thinking about another place or time. Time travelling inside my mind. Amazing.

      I think a thought and move my fingers and words appear on the screen or page, depending on the tool I choose to use.

      I think a thought, open my mouth and automatically (without conscious awareness) vibrate my vocal cords and make sounds to communicate with others.

      And, I can interpret the sounds made by others.

      Amazing.

      Assertive

      I am assertive

      Istruggle with this one. Maybe it’s all that good Catholic education about being polite and considering the needs of others or maybe it’s simply not understanding what being assertive means.

      Being assertive is not about being aggressive. It’s about standing up for myself.

      Until recently, I was under the misunderstanding that being assertive was being able to say no when I didn’t want to do something, but it’s much more than that.

      Thanks to a story in Shift Happens by Robert Holden, I now understand that’s only one side of the equation.

      Being assertive is also about being able to say yes to opportunities I want to pursue.

      It’s about standing my ground when someone tries to take advantage of me.

      It’s about having and expressing a preference.

      I know that not being assertive in appropriate circumstances is fear operating.

      That fear of being seen as aggressive or selfish or self-promoting. That fear of being the tall poppy - the one that’s going to be lopped by the crowd. That fear of being laughed at or ignored.

      I’m still working with this one, but each day I’m getting closer to knowing: I am assertive.

      Attentive

      I am attentive

      This one has multiple meanings, depending on the context in which I use it.

      I am attentive to detail, which is an important skill in the writing world. I think I can say that’s one I have under the belt. Being attentive in that sense is essential to completing any task.

      I know about applying attention to what I’m doing but that is only one dimension of being attentive.

      What does it mean to say I am attentive?

      Is it about paying attention to others?

      Now, that sounds like more of a challenge.

      How well do I listen when someone else is talking?

      How well do I read their non-verbal communication signals?

      Being attentive in that sense means choosing to focus on the other, and giving that person my undivided attention.

      This might be the one to work on.
