The Secret of Solving Problems & Manifesting Your Dreams
Everything in our lives we have had a hand in creating. What we
think, feel and believe deep inside becomes real in the physical
world.
Take for example the war in Iraq.
Cases of kidnapping and car bombings have skyrocketed in recent
months. Despite the best efforts of our armed forces and the
appointment of Iraq's Interim Government, the situation on the
ground is rife with violence and terrorism.
Rightly or wrongly, the justification for war was based on two
things. First of all that Saddam was stockpiling weapons of mass
destruction that posed a threat to our security, and second,
that the former Iraqi regime had links with al-Qaida.
Last week, the commission investigating the reasons behind the
attacks of September 11 dismissed the idea that Saddam Hussein
was involved. President Bush quickly countered that there have
indeed been "contacts between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida."
With the US election looming, no doubt these arguments will
continue.
Whether or not you believe the case for war in Iraq was
justified, there is something much more profound going on that
hasn't really been talked about.
The attacks of September 11 brutally reminded us of the threat
posed by terrorists. Of course a certain level of fear is useful
in the fight against terrorism.
On the other hand, our *fear* had a large part to play in
*creating* a situation of terrorism, where before it may not
have existed.
It was our fear that led us to into war in Iraq.
That fear helped to create the situation of terrorism we see on
the ground today in Iraq.
Whatever we think, feel and believe is true inside, we manifest
in our concrete, external reality. Exactly the same principle is
true on a personal, as well as a cultural level.
If we are afraid of something or if deep down we believe we are
not really good enough; if we secretly believe we're not capable
or deserving of our heart's desire, our feelings and beliefs
will make manifest that reality.
Stop for a moment now and consider your life.
Realize that you have had a hand in creating everything in your
life. Your work situation, your relationships, your financial
situation
