Conscious Dispute Resolution
Constance M. Felos
The Noble New
Sing songs that none have sung,
Think thoughts that ne'er in brain have rung,
Walk in paths that none have trod,
Weep tears as none have shed for God,
Give peace to all to whom none other gave,
Claim him your own who's everywhere disclaimed.
Love all with love that none have felt, and brave
The battle of life with strength unchained.Paramahansa Yogananda
There is a power in this Universe that can create health, happiness and spiritual enlightenment. That force is within each of us. And each of us has the choice whether or not to harness the awesome power of Spirit. We may grasp the opportunity to grow in mind, body and soul, or not. Each of us has set up the circumstances that give rise to the growth opportunities we have available right here and right now. The opportunities, often appearing as dispute or conflict, come to us by our own creation, not by chance. These opportunities spur us to develop the powers of thought and will hidden at the core of our being. Thus, each conflict or dispute that we consciously experience is the doorway to greater connection with these Divine Gifts.
In the 18 years I have been practicing law, I have never encountered a legal dispute that was not propelled by an underlying issue. Actually, I have found that a legal dispute reflects one's habitual trend of thought and the ineffective use of one's will power, as a mirror reflects one's face. The message I gleaned from this awareness is that each legal conflict holds within it an opportunity for the participants to further develop their powers of responsible, positive thought and dynamic, conscious will. And, the key to this door of opportunity lies in determining the underlying intentions or motives giving rise to the dispute.
While attending a New Wave seminar (Kryon channeling) in California last year, I listened as a woman asked a question. She was involved in a bitter legal dispute with a former partner about a real estate deal. She was filled with anger and resentment, fearful that in order to obtain what was rightfully hers, she would have to project that anger at her opponent and engage in unbridled legal warfare. My compassion and empathy for the woman's plight impelled me to write the outline for the book How To Bring a Lawsuit With Love.
Anger is a compelling motivator to action. Whether the action will be fueled with positive or negative force depends upon understanding the motive behind the anger. If, for example, one's anger is stoked by unconscious fear, one can expect exhaustion of life energy, weakening of will power, and physical disturbances to result from the anger-motivated action. Obviously, this type of activity causes one to lose one's youthful appearance and enthusiastic demeanor. One embroiled in intense dispute fueled by fear often appears old, haggard and worn out. On the other hand, if one uses the conflict to unearth and dispel debilitating fear-based thoughts and replaces them with courage and faith, the resulting actions usually bring a newfound exhilaration. Exhilaration and enthusiasm are proven to spark the physical body to produce neurochemicals that relax muscles, increase heart and lung capacity, enhance cellular metabolism and stimulate digestion. Such revitalizing somatic responses assist in overruling negativity, inhibition and exhaustion.
Dispelling fearful emotions, and supplanting fear with love, courage and faith is a powerful method of growing young. We can grow young through conscious dispute resolution. By recognizing and resolving the base emotions and thoughts that operate as the demons that create our conflicts, it is possible to "brave the battle of life with strength unchained." And, as Jane Evershed has said, " on the other side of hell lies Paradise."
