Through You VIP - Effortless English

Through You VIP – Audio, VideoHello VIP and welcome to this month’s lesson. Now, this lesson is called ‘Through You’or ‘Through You Consciousness’. It’s an interesting idea and, as always, I’ll explain whatI mean by this.Let’s start with the idea that there are three basic levels of consciousness. At least forour purpose today, we’re going to describe three levels of consciousness. Now,“consciousness” means awareness, thinking, things like that. So kind of three very, verybig general ways of thinking, ways of being aware, ways of believing about life. So let’sdescribe them.Level number one we’ll call ‘to you’ consciousness, to, t-o, you consciousness. Leveltwo we’re going to call ‘by you’, b-y, ‘by you’ consciousness and then level three we’llcall ‘through you’ consciousness. So let’s describe what these are.‘To you’ – ‘To you’ consciousness means this, it means, generally speaking, in life youhave the feeling or the idea or the belief that life is happening to you. Life is somethingthat happens to you. External events happen to you. Good luck or bad luck happens toyou. Events happen to you.Now, as you can see with this basic mentality, it’s very much a passive or even a victimmentality because it implies – it suggests – that you are not in control; that you’re notthe one determining your life that it’s external events. You can label that as the Universeor a God or chance or whatever you want to call it, but it’s something external that’shappening to you.Even though most people don’t think of it this way, in fact, a lot of people, I’d say mostpeople, in fact, do have this level of belief or this basic level of consciousness,generally. Now, we all may have parts of our life where we feel more empowered, but I’dsay most people most of the time feel like life is something that happens to them.Something bad happens and then they think oh, something bad is happening to me,right? I’m kind of a victim of this bad thing. You can see that that creates in your mind,even if it’s unconsciously, a feeling of being passive or powerless or at least notempowered; having less power. So that’s ‘to you’ consciousness.Now, the next level we’ll call ‘by you’ consciousness. In ‘by you’ consciousness, youhave the feeling, the general belief, the general idea, that life is being created by you.You are creating your own life and you are determining your goals and then you’re goingand getting them and achieving them.www.EffortlessEnglishClub.com
