NOW OPENING TO A REFRAME

9. I recognize that my Spiritual Intelligence has created stories in the past that are similar in Willing Open Skeptical Unwilling
circumstance and feelings to this one in order to magnify the emotional experience of
TOWARDS THE REFRAME
separation that my soul wanted. I see this as evidence that, even though I don’t know why
or how, my soul has created this particular situation, too, in order that I learn and grow.
(List similar stories and feeling experiences (as in 2b) and note the common elements in them.)

and for each other to bring us to a state of awakened consciousness.
13. I now realize that nothing you, (X) , have done is either right or wrong. I am able Willing Open Skeptical Unwilling
now to release the need to blame you or anyone else. I release the need to be right about
this, and I am WILLING to see the perfection in the situation just the way it is.
14.I am willing to see that, for whatever reason, my mission or ‘soul contract’ included having
Willing Open Skeptical Unwilling
experiences like this and that you and I may have agreed to do this dance with and for each
other in this lifetime. If it is for the highest good for both of us, I now release you and myself
from that contract.
