The Shell Corporation
I needed to pay my Shell bill online today. I normally pay it through the snail mail but I forgot and the due date is 10/14. So, now I’m scrambling to set up an account and it is fraught with obstacles. harumphhh..but I don’t mind. This reminds me of other Shell Stuff like Shell Game–Shell Corporation–Shell of a Man..It’s not a word that has great connotation.
The Shell Game congures up images of the guy on the street offering you the chance to win easy bucks if you can find the nut under the three shells while he moves the shells with quick sleight of hand. The Shell Company congures up images of a fake company behind a fake company behind a fake company etc…all in the hopes that you really don’t know which company you’re dealling with. You get the drift.
Well, a belief system that takes up residence in your psyche is sort of like that Shell Corporation. It’s a sham. It’s a lie. It doesn’t really exist. It only exists because you give it the power to exist. What belief system do you have that has moved in lock, stock, and barrel only to no longer serve you on this particular path of your journey?
Is it the fact that you believe that “if it weren’t for bad luck you’d have no luck at all?” Or what about “I was born with a dark cloud over me.” or “Spiritual people should not be concerned about money.” or “My brother is the golden child of the family.” There’s a million of ‘em.
Dare to stare them in the face..dare to shine the light of truth on them…dare to see that behind the curtain is not the great and powerful Oz but just a tiny old man..tired and lost..a shell of a man. Know that prosperity is your birthright..that joy is the basis of your life…that freedom is the purpose of your life. Know this and know love. Your beliefs get better, your thoughts get better, your feelings get better. The better it gets the better it gets. Pretty soon you’ll be saying to yourself, “I feel like I won the lottery!”..and you’ll mean it..and the universe will take you seriously and reflect back into your life circumstance sand situations that will let you say, “I fell like I won the lottery!”
