Law of Attraction: If I create my reality: Why am I getting this
?! part 2
Continued from Part 1: The 9 ways we create unconsciously:
6. Momentum from the recent past in this life
Manifesting, from the time we think or feel a powerful thought
to the time we experience our creation, can take a while.
Sometimes, even though we have changed our thoughts and beliefs
about a thing in the meantime, we still find ourselves
experiencing the previous condition. We are just experiencing
thoughts we set into motion in the past. The important thing to
remember is that the thoughts we are thinking today create our
future. It is not inevitable that things will stay the same, as
we are often willing to believe. We can choose from this moment
on what we want in our future.
7. Other people's thought forms
When we are vibrating with a particular belief, perhaps one of
fear or victimization, we can attract other people's thought
forms that are vibrating at the same rate. Then we experience
feeling out of control and overwhelmed. We feel victimized. You
may say, "but I never worried about being in a car accident".
Yet the car accident may have been attracted by your vibration
of "accidents happen frequently, all drivers are crazy except
me, I'm vulnerable to everyone else's craziness out here, I feel
unsafe" and thoughts like that. When we attract other thought
forms to support our positive beliefs we feel incredibly lucky
and we experience wonderful synchronicities.
8. Karmic choice from past life or bleed through influence of
other parallel lives
In reincarnation theory, people believe we make choices about
what we want to experience before we are born on this plane.
Physicists tell us all time is simultaneous and we are living
all our lives at the same time right now. A third theory has
parallel worlds and universes splitting off to live their own
existence each and every time we make a decision. Then each of
these splits again with the next decision we make - a
mind-boggling concept. Whether you believe in past lives or
parallel lives or the many - worlds hypothesis, we are
multidimensional personalities. Other parts of our psyche are
off having their own experiences while we are here living on
planet Earth trying to pay the rent. At times, usually brief and
spontaneous, we sometimes become aware of 'another self' and we
find ourselves feeling and sensing through that person's senses.
We can, with consciousness, make choices about how much of this
we allow, and about what we are willing to have enter our
experience.
9. Subconscious agreement to experience the state for the
expansion of it
We are all eternal beings. We are not here to learn lessons and
progress back to the godhead, as if we are some fallen angels
who have to earn our promotion. We are here on this plane for
the joy of the experience and to express our creativity, our
individuality and our free will. We choose some experiences that
may seem less than pleasant in the short run, just to know that
experience. Choosing illness, poverty, or extreme circumstances
in one lifetime may be similar to folks who like bungy jumping
or sky diving for a brief moment in this lifetime. Maybe it's a
feels - so - good - when - it - stops kind of thing, yet you
have the feelings of achievement and accomplishment for having
come through the experience. Any time you get the feeling that
you are dangling on the end of a bungy cord, be aware that it is
a choice you made and remember that you are always free to make
another choice.
Creating with Deliberate Intention
Conscious, deliberate creation is what we are all here to
experience. It is not a "lesson" we have to learn. We are whole,
perfect and complete already. There are no lessons; there is
only the joy of creating. Think of children building sand
castles. There is no lesson, there is no reason for it - it is
just fun. We build them, we live in them for a few minutes, or a
few lifetimes, then we knock them down because we have a new
idea we want to experience. This is our God-nature; expansive,
creative, always experiencing the new for no other reason than
for joy.
What you focus on expands
Ow! I just hit my thumb with a hammer! Do I really need to spend
an hour figuring out why it happened, how it happened, what
actually happened, what beliefs I had, ad infinitum? Or do I
just want to be more careful from now on? Maybe put some ice on
it and continue with the project. As we focus on the pain, we
are more aware of it. Concentration, with intensity on it,
strengthens our vibe of pain. As I continue to think about my
thumb and how much it hurts, I am much more likely to hit it
again. When you throw a baseball, you look at where you want the
ball to go. When you hammer a nail, you should focus on the
nail, not on your thumb. It is the same with every part of our
lives. If we want more money and more abundance in our
experience we need to focus on having more, doing more,
experiencing more. We won't get there by thinking of how little
we have.
Most of the dumb things we do, the dumb decisions we make and
the dumb situations we create are no more significant than
"accidentally" hitting our thumb. They are not meaningful life
lessons. As westerners, we have over-developed our reasoning
ability at the expense of our intuition. We have bought into the
Freudian concept that everything has meaning and can explain our
lives. But even he said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar". We
look for external significance in everything - even if a bird
dumps on our shoulder as we are getting into the car. Yet we can
no longer hear our soul's voice. We create our lives though our
habits of thought and most of our thoughts are not ones we'd
like to live.
The key is to let an unwanted thought go quickly and focus on
what you really want. The 'why' of why you created it doesn't
matter. It is like asking why you smoke cigarettes - another
'bad' (unwanted is a more apt word) habit. Well, it could be you
have an anal fixation, you were toilet trained too early, you
have anxiety and you need something to do with your hands, you
think you look cool, your friends do it, whatever. . .
Does it really matter? As you analyze it and think about it and
worry about it and come back to it over and over and over (as we
do when we try to figure something out) are you thinking more
about smoking or about stopping? Thinking about a condition
draws that condition to you. If you have a choice, which is more
important: understanding the real reason or stopping? They are,
after all, opposite vibrations. All that matters is that you
stop, if that is your desire. Make a different choice every time
the temptation arises and eventually, sooner than you think, you
will have changed the habit. Understanding 'why' just wastes
time.
Why did you get sick? It could be as simple as because the TV
keeps telling you you should get sick because everybody will, or
because it's
that season, or because you're at that age, and because you
didn't know you had a choice about it. Why don't I have a better
job? It could be that you learned from your parents an attitude
that jobs are difficult and stressful and you should be grateful
for having one at all and not try to find another. Now, you can
just make another choice.
Here's a radical idea: We don't have to learn from every
negative experience in our lives, particularly if we're just
acting out of habit or group think. There is nothing deep or
profound to learn. It is merely a bad habit to be changed. The
only lesson is: don't do it any more. We seldom, if ever,
analyze to death the good things that happen. Why did I create
this wonderful experience in my life? What does it mean that I
create so much joy and bring so much beauty to so many? What
does it mean that my life is working smoothly and I'm having a
lot of fun? Why is this happening to me? Do we "EVER" do that?
Well, why not? We know the 'why' doesn't matter. All that
matters is to do it.
Abraham (Abraham-Hicks teachings) and Seth (from the books by
Jane Roberts) both say we are here to have fun. That is the only
reason. To express our creativity and our personalities and our
preferences in learning how to create our reality. For fun.
Because the creative urge is an urge toward expansion, toward
light, toward more (of everything) and it's fun. Shiva dances in
his joy in creating the world. Isn't this a wonderful image? We
should all be dancing with the joy of our creations.
We can choose to grow thru ease. We can choose to expand thru
joy. When we create unpleasant experiences for ourselves, we can
intend to learn quickly that we don't need to do that. "No pain,
no gain" is an archaic, Judeo-Christian belief rooted in the
dual concepts of good and evil. We know there is only the
Oneness of the unified field. Why not focus on the quantum
possibilities? Why not consider that what you focus on is what
you attract - and focus on what you want?
Wouldn't you rather be having more fun?
