Getting out of your own way

If you had to summarize your life so far, what events stick out the most that you would want people to know?  It is quite valuable when we begin to see the way we identify ourselves, and more importantly what we believe about ourselves.

While we are inhabiting the earth plane in these earth suits or bodies, it is vital to understand that we are dense, vibrating masses of energy continually moving and yet our ego slows us down to the point of exhaustion and at times to a dead stop or so it seems.  If we think of ourselves as energy, we begin to realize we are constantly flowing like water down a stream, splashing against rocks and banks and yet, still passing over them -making some noise maybe, but still moving past – ever flowing.  As spirits we could think of ourselves as the water, passing through for a short time and the riverbed as the earth plane or our human experience here at this moment.  The rocks and boulders represent the experiences and situations that get our attention here, the bumps so to speak.  We sometimes get stuck under these rocks, and even turn into sediment, believing we are the dirt or the sand or the rock itself.  But we are not our experiences.  We are not what we are observing.  We need not stay on or under these rocks clinging to them, waiting for someone to erect a monument dedicated to our pain.  To change the course of our lives is very simple and requires one thing  – to let go.

When we do let go, what happens?  We go somewhere else. The rocks are not waiting for you to do anything, they are just rocks, they don’t identify themselves with you.  The quicker you pass by these obstacles the greater service you will be to the river.  Think about it. What happens when a plastic bag or piece of litter finds itself in a body of water? Eventually it gets trapped and stuck, and another and then another.  These are how negative thoughts and experiences clog our lives and stop it – eventually causing the stream to overflow or stop, and can even change the course of the waterway, or worse, cause it to dry up completely.

Everyone has a story.  Everyone has secrets.  But we don’t need to give them power.  Truly, we are the only ones that keep them alive, and allow them to slow us down or stop us.  We determine our state.  The only thing holding us back, is our selves and our limiting and worn out thoughts.  We are limitless and in a constant stage of creating.  Every thought has a frequency our experiences match.  Does not matter if you understand it or believe in it, or study it.  If you are consistently in a negative mindset, your vibration emits a frequency that will draw to you one that matches it.  So, this same principle means, that if you begin to see yourself healthy, happy, living in abundance whatever you desire, the abundant forces around us match it as well.  It must.  This is how energy works. We are energetic forces and are magnetic, and in the same way a magnet will pull to it and even – if the magnet is large enough – will violently bring steel slamming into it, destroying what ever comes between it and the steel. Think about that for just a minute.  How many times have we found our negative or angry emotions, drawing a situation slamming into us, crushing something or someone we loved?

These energetic forces have no opinions, nor do they care if you choose good thoughts or bad…you as a magnetic field, will attract like energy, and whether we choose to consciously create, or create by default – our thoughts, emotions, intentions and even the lack of intention or attention are driving our experiences.

Now, everyone experiences negative thoughts and everyone has disagreements, it IS going to happen, however, loving thought is hundreds and hundreds of times more potent than a negative thought. My point is not about controlling our thoughts it is about becoming aware of them, and beginning to shift them towards the global shift in consciousness that is happening around all of us.  Thoughts cause emotions – both positive and negative ones, exactly like a battery…do you see the connection?  If we get the cables mixed up when we are jumping a vehicle, do we think the cables are bad or evil for killing the battery?  No we don’t, we know exactly what happens when positive and negative connections cross, things blow up.  What we need to keep in mind is, when we feel bad we are not in alignment with positive vibration.  We are bumping against a rock.  We are stuck, not in the flow, and where the river is at its deepest, is also where it is most silent. The worse we feel the more out of alignment we are, but consider it a warning or check engine light, because chaos breeds life, order brings about habit.

We spend a great deal of our time and energy on what we are observing.  If we are only thinking about what we are observing, than that is what we continue creating and that is our reality.  What we think about brings creates our reality.  If you are only thinking about what is, you will never manifest what could be.  You will only get more of what is.  You will have nothing more but the same. Consider that the next time you are watching the news, and also ask your self, why they leave out the good things that happened that day, or why it is left for a chuckle between “important” stories.  Why do we feel this is what we need to observe in order to know what is happening in the world, do you really think it is an accurate portrayal of all things and all people?

If you can’t seem to get your focus on positive thought or find yourself going back to what you don’t want in your life, get out of it by stopping and making yourself think of what you do like.  Think of something – anything really – you feel thankful for or – take it a step further, and write down what is good about you something you have you not allowed others to see?  Giving thanks and showing gratitude is Angelic. It is the nectar of the Gods.  Spend time day- dreaming do you remember getting in trouble for that?  Well, they were wrong, and now we have become “them” and we must get back to what we knew as children – dreaming and evoking our imagination is our natural state, as adults we must recondition ourselves how to think and in doing that, we may just remember how to live.
