All I KNOW is, I know NOTHING!
June 10, 2008
By Aymee Rodriguez
On Saturday I experienced something completely unexpected;
it was a “high point” in my career. I got to interview Ms.
Mabel Katz, a rising star in field of spirituality and
Personal Development in the Hispanic Community.
For those of you who have not yet heard of her she, is the
author of a book entitled The Easiest Way “El Camino Mas
Facil” in Spanish. She is the host of The Mabel Katz Show
, her own daily television program which is broadcast daily
from Los Angeles, California.
She is also a teacher of the ancient healing art of
Ho’oponopono which means to make things right, and a
student of Dr. Ihaleakala Hew-Len. (The Psychologist who
healed a whole ward of criminally insane patients at Hawaii
State Mental Hospital and co-author of Zero Limits with Dr.
Joe Vitale).
I was so impressed with Mabel’s passion for what she does
that she inspired this week’s article topic and I want to
write to you about her as well.
Mabel is the quintessential example of the miracles that
take place in our daily lives when we let go of the “I
know” attitude.
This lovely lady is Argentine by birth and immigrated to
the United States in the early 1980’s. She has a Business
Degree is a Certified Public Accountant in Argentina and an
Enrolled Agent in the U.S. specializing in the area of
Taxation.
She recently decided to let go of her highly successful
accounting practice, in order to pursue her higher purpose
which is to awaken the higher consciousness in people, and
mostly the Latino community.
I must admit that even though I had read her book several
times, and expected to speak with a very well centered
person, I took one look at her resume , and thought it
would send chills down Donald Trumps spine.
The world of finance is still very heavily male dominated
and this lady has built a highly successful business by
negotiating tax matters with the IRS for her clients!
Negotiations with the IRS? OH boy, I thought this must be
one tough lady! I started to get nervous and even a bit
dizzy… I did not know what to expect truth be told.
I caught many of my own self limiting beliefs before we
spoke. I was curious as to how such a “highly analytical
mind” could have become so “spiritual”. Did you catch
that? (They are not mutually exclusive! The key is to use
your mind as a tool). I felt a cold sweat coming on, and
found myself replaying the memories of my Macroeconomics
examination at the end of my year of Business School in
Norway…
I simply could not reconcile the two in my mind. There was
something inside of me that was saying “I know that there
is no WAY a CPA can be spiritual, but how crazy is that?
Consider that my mother, who was my greatest spiritual
mentor, was also a CPA and eventually left that role to
pursue a life of helping others succeed through
self-awareness.
Are you starting to see how these sneaky beliefs work? They
are NOT REAL! Only beliefs... Perhaps that will be next
weeks article... Anyway... Back to the story…
So how, did this highly analytical and materialistic mind
finally come to terms with the fact that there is more to
life than meets the eye?
Mabel was good enough to share with me, (You can read the
whole story in The Easiest Way or listen to the interview
on The Halcyon’s upcoming series on remarkable women) the
story of her oldest son Jonathan and how he “woke her up”.
Mabel says
“My mother used to come from Argentina to visit and she
would say “Mabel looks at the house you have! Look at the
brand new car, and you have a husband that loves you so
much, and you have two beautiful kids! What is your
Problem?” And yes, I wondered myself what my problem was?”
The woman who used to purchase one house, and instantly be
preoccupied with how the "next" was going to look, and so
on…Has evolved from running mostly from intellect into
truly a shining example of what happens when you trust your
intuition.
Are you even remotely curious as to how it is that such a
thing can happen?
In The Power of Now Eckhart Tolle writes, and Mabel quotes
in her book “Even when we attain all our desired
possessions, we soon find that the hole is still there,
that it is bottomless.”
I asked her about the change. She explained to me that she
had come to understand that she did not have a “need” for
material things by the time she had reached the point in
her life where her marriage of 20+ years was over. "I left
with very little and even some debt that I took
responsibility for."
She went on to tell me that of course there is absolutely
NOTHING wrong with having wonderful and beautiful things
such as a great house and beautiful new cars, it’s when you
define yourself by those objects when it becomes a problem.
I agreed with her that it is not the things, but rather our
relationship to those things where we find our greatest
challenges in life.
One of the things I learned from my conversation with this
amazing woman is how clear she is about being100%
responsible for what comes into her experience, her
incredible sense of gratitude for everything and that she
is 100% trusting of whatever Divinity has in store for her.
We talked about how important it is to let go of “knowing”
and this is what those of us who practice Ho’oponopono on a
daily basis do. She described it much more elegantly and
said “You must give God permission to guide you”. I simply
love that.
When we believe that we know the outcome of a particular
situation for example “I don’t have money, and I know never
will because I was born poor, that's just the way IT IS”
then we condemn ourselves to what we know.
When you know, there is no other outcome possible.
When you make the decision to “Give Divinity permission to
guide you” at first you will come from a place of faith
(which to me means being open to the possibility).
That faith will eventually evolve into a magnificent
KNOWING that whatever you call God, Divinity, The Universe
or The Divine Architect always takes care of you when you
allow the room for guidance.
So what this whole thing boils down to is;
• Your intellect, by itself is not capable of
KNOWING anything.
• Once you let go of your need to “know” and allow
Divinity to guide and inspire you. a multitude of wonderful
ideas, events, people, places and things begin to rush into
your experience.
• Understand that YOU are not who you think you are,
you are much more! There is a part of you that does KNOW
everything. Surrender to your Higher Mind!
What we can learn from Mabel is that when she no longer
allowed herself to be defined by who she thought she was.
CPA, Mother, Wife, Owner of expensive houses and cars
etc....In other words her role as a self admitted
analytical materialist, she allowed room for growth.
In that room, she has blossomed into a Talk Show Host,
radio personality and now full time Facilitator of
Spiritual Consciousness and who knows where else this is
going to take her?
I am feeling the vibe of a dynamic woman that will soon
have the clout of an Oprah Winfrey, and I like it! In fact
I love it! Imagine all the people that this message will
reach! Let’s raise universal consciousness together!
Mabel admitted to me that when she let go of what she knew,
and gave “The Divine Architect” permission to guide her,
she has had it much better than she ever expected, and it
can be the same for you, but only if you are willing to NOT
KNOW!
Lesson: All I KNOW is I know NOTHING!
Affirmation: I am willing to let go of I KNOW and allow
Divine inspiration to FLOW. Every minute of every day, I
start from Zero.
Love, Light and Divine Blessings

Planet!
