Spheres of Ideals, Activities and Methods On the following page is a chart of nestled triad or triplet spheres. The first sphere is labeled Spiritual, the second Mental and the third Physical. Within each of these are labels for Ideals, Activities and Methods. This spherical configuration follows the principles you have been studying embodying polarity, coincidence of purpose and action, harmony and discord. This chart and its particular method of organization will help you streamline your life by defining ideals, follow through and methods of attainment of those ideals. Begin by photocopying the chart. Working on the copy, label the inside of the largest sphere with your name. Next list in each of the triplet spheres the Ideals you would like to attain in the Spiritual, Mental and Physical realms of your life. Next, within each of those spheres, list the Activities you feel would carry you from where you are to where you'd like to go. Now in the minor third sphere marked Method list how you can go about performing the Activities that will take you to your Ideals. This chart will also work with a particular problem requiring a solution which may not now be known to you. Enter the problem in the Ideals sphere, list the Activities you feel will bring about a resolution to the problem and then list the modes of initiating those Actions. A thorough review in the third sphere will quickly eliminate poor choices of Methods and Activities before you waste time on them and will help to find the optimum Method and Activity through elimination. One can also list existing resources (talents, abilities, materials) in the Methods sphere that may assist in the Activities. Because spheres revolve around and about each other no thing, event or ideal that is in your life is isolated from anything else in your life. Your life is ONE WHOLE and all that is found in it or associated with it is part of it. A problem or ideal is not separate from your self but is spiritually, mentally and physically a part of you. The Outer Circle represents your WHOLE life containing your ideals, problems, associations and situations. Approaching life as the whole that it is instead of a series of seemingly unconnected events will eventually bring all parts and aspects into harmonious synchronicity which is what it wants to do anyway. EXAMPLES: For instance you list in the Spiritual Ideals sphere you'd like to become a "Better friend to your friends." In its minor Activity sphere you would then place something like "Be more friendly." In its minor Method sphere you may place something like "Smile more and listen better." A problem solving example might be: in the Ideal sphere write the problem: "Fix clutch in car." In its Activity sphere list actions that could lead to a solution: "Take to garage." "Fix myself." "Get new car." In its Methods sphere list the ways you can initiate or accomplish the Activities as listed: "Pay garage." "Don't know how to fix." "Can't afford new car." "Barter with neighbor to fix." The obvious choices (and solution to this problem) at this point are either pay the garage or barter with your neighbor. |
