Everyone has a past, everyone has a present, the future
isn¹t written yet.
The question is, do we allow our past to sabatage our
future?
Many people today know they have the ability to manifest
goals and dreams in their lives, and yet for many, even though they put the
techniques into practices, it does not work so well. Why?
We all carry around old home movies in our heads, some
embarrassing, some treasured. We tend to hang onto them. Old negative beliefs
about ourselves, others, life can unconsciously block our success in
manifesting our dreams and goals. This book is about clearing the past in order
to live in the present, and outlines clear steps to manifest future dreams and
goalsual self can be the result.
By clearing our past and learning to use consciousness
positively, and applying the law of attraction we can manifest the positive and
happy life we want. They key is changing early outdated decisions and then
learing how to manifest our positive intentions. |

This book follows on
from my thesis research that has examined what male social workers believe to
be the causes of domestic violence and, more importantly, what they believe
causes non-violence between partners. The research was a qualitative study of
interviews with men, mostly social workers, who worked with both perpetrators
and victims of domestic violence. The aims of the research are to provide some
answers as to why, despite the attention given to domestic violence and the
provision of DV treatment programs by social workers and counsellors, in both
public and private sectors, the problem remains intractable.
Men who worked
in the area of domestic violence were interviewed, individually, with a series
of twenty-five questions. Two leaders of a local men's group were also
interviewed. The main discussion topics for all these men were their views on
the causes of domestic violence and then, more positively, what they felt were
the reasons why most men, including themselves, were physically
non-violent.
Investigating what these men feel causes domestic violence
and non-violence may provide an insight into what brings most men in our
society to be physically non-violent to their partners. Hopefully, this
information can be used to implement factors into families and society to work
towards non-violence.
The interviewees' definitions of domestic violence
were discussed, and what causes it. What causes non-violence, and scripting was
positioned by them as the major factor in both. Within traditional Western male
scripting lies males' sense of entitlement to privileged positions in their
families and society. A question about violence surfaced. What is the purpose
of violence? For the purpose of this book violence is defined as person or
persons insisting on getting what they want, as a result of their claim to have
the right to have it.
Male entitlement to privileges was identified by
only a few of the men as being problematical and a central cause of domestic
violence. The remainder of the interviewees, as well as the men from the men's
groups, accepted but appeared to discount the issue on varying levels. Whilst a
few saw the existence of male privilege as a significant problem that needs
changing, the others saw the existence of it, but defined it as normal, and
therefore by implication, believe it will be maintained, or that it can not be
changed.
One of the underpinning dynamics revealed in this book is that
the issue of male privilege is apparent to some and invisible to others, in the
context of domestic violence this is going to be a problem. . In dealing with
domestic violence we have to not simply invest in putting more social workers
in the DV area; they need to be properly and adequately trained, and adequately
committed to a treatment model which foregrounds male privilege [and does not
present men as victims.] We need public investment in DV counselling, training
and accreditation. We need to address the issue of male privilege in the whole
of society and to focus on creating equality of power in relationships between
men and women.
As mentioned above the book will contain two new
chapters in addition to the thesis discussion on the development of a person's
script and the implications of that, and a final chapter on my recommendations
for creating non-violence in families and society. |
