AWAKE TO THE GENUINE
VALUE:
You live not in self-righteous pseudo-virtue, but the
virtue of a person who simply lives in harmony with God, expressing a good and
pure nature. As much as humanly possible, you live a spotless life. You are an
innocent person, innocent of wrongdoing, for you live an ethical life. You are
considered to be a moral and upright person.
PARTIALLY ASLEEP TO
THE GENUINE VALUE:
You occasionally slip from a fully ethical life. You are
mostly a good person with a good nature, but you can have your negative times. It
is unlikely that the idea of living a spotless life has ever occurred to
you. You are considered to be an okay
person.
LIVING IN THE IMPOSTOR VALUE:
You have not exercised your spiritual muscle so you are
not all that ethical. You can be quite weak, giving in to temptations. You have
a loose relationship with the truth and standards of morality. You may be in a
group that considers dark and wicked things as fun or at least acceptable. You have
fallen into a degraded kijnd of life.

What to do:
DECISION
Choose. Which do you want for yourself and your world? Which
way would you like life to be?
FOCUSING YOUR
MIND
Going for the
target you have chosen
To shift in the direction of virtue, select some or all of
the following and copy them in order to have them with you. Live with them.
Think about them. Absorb them.
· It feels good to take the high road.
· Goodness and mercy fill me.
· I am clear on my standards, and I live up to them.
· It is important to me to live an ethical life.
· I do as much good as I can every single day.
REINFORCING BEHAVIORS
Action steps to take to get off the log
· Select at least one of the 40 Genuine Values today to apply
to your life, especially the one you think is the weakest link in your life.
Ask yourself what you can do to strengthen it in your life. Notice when you are
weak in regard to it, and affirm you are strong and rooted in it. Practice living
it consciously today.
· Pick one or more acts of kindness to do each day. It is
especially powerful to do at least some anonymously so that you do not expect
to receive praise and thanks. It is powerful to do kindness outside of the
constraints of ego.
· Anything you have done for which you are not proud, make
amends wherever possible. Give and receive forgiveness once you have done all
you can to make it right.
· Become aware of how it feels inside of yourself when you are
ethical, kind, and doing good work. Notice how the opposite feels or has felt.
Choose to feel good by doing good.
Remember Virue
