A new week, a new day, a new opportunity. Find the sacred in this day, within your heart, the one thing that has meaning for you right now, and give it space to expand. Give it room to experience growth. Move something out of the way so it can have a little more room in your life today. Perhaps you just need to move an old thought out of your head and let something from your heart replace it. Perhaps an old habit that no longer serves you needs to be left behind and a new and more beneficial activity needs to be instituted instead. Perhaps you have longed to start something that has meaning for you and you decide that this is the perfect day to give it a chance. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest. Give it a chance by doing something you have longed to do that is right and beneficial. Make it the first step on your journey of real change.
Hold yourself as accountable as you hold everyone else. It is often so easy to see what others should be doing in their lives, but what about you? What are you not getting? What are you not paying attention to? What are you continuing to do that does not provide you with your best options? What needs to change? The change of seasons, or even just a new day, is the perfect time to institute something new into your life. Start something new today. You will soon know if it’s something that is right for you. If not, then choose something better. You have the opportunity to choose something better every day of your life. Start making it a habit.
Allow your inner self to speak to you more often. When your inner self speaks to you, with its clear and sober voice, you know how right it is, how meaningful it is, and how impactful it can potentially be, if you take it seriously. In times of outer change inner changes are equally necessary. What is happening outside of you right now that is pointing you inward? What are you being shown about yourself that needs attention? If you take your attention off the outer world and sit quietly with yourself, take a quiet walk, or just close your eyes and ask for guidance, some little insight will come to you. That little insight will be the first inkling of what is in need of inner work. Everyone is in need of something.
Abrupt and sudden change is often the catalyst that helps someone find their truth, that helps someone take a new direction in life, that helps someone find their right path. But more often than not that abrupt and sudden change is unnecessary. If change is needed, it is already known. But the sad thing is that though that knowledge exists, it is often not acted upon. If you know that change is needed, act upon it before something drastic happens to make you act upon it. You have the power within you to change without being given a dire life verdict, an illness, a devastating sadness. Make your move while you can, in full consciousness and with full focus placed on a more fulfilling life, because you have the desire and the will to freely choose it.
Our time will surely be remembered as one of a rapid shift in ruling beliefs. The shamans of ancient Mexico characterized civilization as a fixation point of assembled beliefs that are agreed upon by the collective human race and hence deliver us to the consensual reality we live in.
At present, that fixation point has been dislodged, as the world currently reflects The Tower card of the Tarot deck, where an all-consuming fire burns away all previously established order. As we live through this time of great transition, we are shown daily how rapidly new beliefs can materialize into physical reality.
Beliefs are the prime movers and building blocks of reality. Tremendous efforts are evident in social media to fixate our attention upon new beliefs that support living in a new reality. Television stations incessantly present points of view that justify their version of a new reality. All these influences upon the mind of the consumer seek to enlist its divine power of creation to build and fixate upon this new proposed reality.
Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, a healer in Maine during the 1860s, came to the understanding that humans were gifted with the godly power of creation in the thoughts they attach to as core beliefs, which then, from the center of the magical subconscious mind, materialize into physical reality.
Quimby never questioned the truth of a patient’s symptoms or physical ailments. Belief does generate physical reality. Nonetheless, he realized that one could potentially become dislodged from a belief that generated ill health, and become attached to a new belief of health, that would, in turn, generate a cure. This is evident in the power of the placebo effect.
Quimby once worked with a soldier, who suffered from the phantom pain of an injured arm despite it being amputated. When the soldier was cured of his disbelief that he had lost his arm, the phantom pain disappeared. His initial belief that he still had his arm required the very real experience of its continued physical pain. Once in acceptance of the loss of his arm, he was freed from the need to create the pain that had accompanied the injured arm.
Our core beliefs are formed in early childhood, where we are largely socialized by our family units. Although, as we enter adolescence we begin a powerful period of individuation, defining ourselves as individuals separate from our families, many earlier beliefs about ourselves, lodged in the subconscious mind, become foundational and influence us throughout life, despite our later maturity.
The other day, I was assigned the task of dismantling a kid’s Hot Wheel’s Track. I was left completely alone to complete the task and then join up for other activity. Within a very short period of time, I was recapitulating my young self, feeling abandoned, overwhelmed, and frustrated by a monumental task I felt inadequate to perform.
These beliefs generated an anxiety and sadness that overshadowed my effort, though my present self was quite present to the struggle and determined to have a different experience of mastery. Then I broke a piece of the structure, which nearly sent me into a familiar childhood depression. Nonetheless, I stayed present, with patience and persistence.
Eventually, Jan appeared and I shared my experience. Sure that she would know immediately how to dismantle it, she in fact became more befuddled than myself and suggested we just throw out the cheap piece of sh..! We then went on to Google the problem, only to discover that dismantling that track was a major human challenge!
This experience brought to the surface a childhood belief of inadequacy with regard to physical reality, which was suddenly challenged in a big way. In fact, I had managed, with my own intelligence, to successfully separate several difficult pieces.
While recognizing a lack of early childhood parental support and collaboration, I nonetheless am able to dislodge an earlier belief of inadequacy. In fact, a new belief has emerged. Though my expertise is in the science of the soul, and not one of a physical engineer, I nonetheless have basic competency in figuring out the basics of physical life.
I was fascinated and grateful for this opportunity to further grow out of a long-buried limiting belief. Often, we are treated with opportunities for recapitulation that bring to consciousness the power of old beliefs in generating our present physical reality.
Many people struggle with manifesting their dreams, despite ardent efforts at positive suggestions to the subconscious mind. I suggest trusting that the subconscious mind will provide synchronistic guideposts and triggers to the elixir of transformation, recapitulation of fixations in negative beliefs from past life. Be okay with them and use them to your advantage. It’s all part of the journey!
