Where are you on the emotional
scale that is represented by
the title for this article? I think
we can all agree that these are “interesting”
times and I would further agree
with the assessment made by many that
the global ramifications of these times are greater than ever
within recorded history. I said recorded history because
major ice age experiences as well as the asteroid that some
say was responsible for the demise of the dinosaurs certainly
would qualify as events that had global ramifications. Yet,
over the past scant 400 years we have been witness to the
equivalent of the earth’s history of over four billion years
of change condensed into a micro second and we are here
witnessing it all.
Starting with the first rudimentary beginnings of newsprint,
all the way to today’s instantaneous ability to receive
and share ideas and information, our collective attention has
been and is being focused, and probably somewhat manipulated,
by the various factions of today’s electronic media
toward usually what is going wrong. From one perspective,
which would include those who exercise minimal if any
discretionary filtering of these avenues of information, we
see a heightened level of trepidation. From the other
end of the stick, or opposite side of the coin, we find
a growing number of people who either exercise their
discretionary filter by turning off whatever, or are able
to see or hear without also internalizing a bottom line that
causes many to be trepidatious, instead accepting for themselves
a role as co-creator of their own realities and instead
sees within this fast moving experience of life, excitement.
Which are you?
As this is written we have a new president of about 5
months into his presidency, and like most presidents he has
become a lightening rod as an ever more obvious polarization
is being witnessed within our nation. The numbers who were fairly neutral about him have diminished dramatically
as people are either genuinely optimistic and expectant about
his programs and promises, or pessimistic and doubt-filled
about the same things.
This article, I guess, is perhaps
directed more toward those who
might be pessimistic and doubt fi lled more than those whose response
to our president is on the side
of optimism and hope, for if you
read this article and are optimistic
and fi lled with expectation concerning
our president and everything in
government, then everything is well
with your world and the bluebird of
happiness is singing in your ear. Yet,
what I want to visit in this article is the choice everyone
has to invite the bluebird of happiness to sing in their ear
regardless of any facet of government or for that matter,
anything outside of them, which hopefully depoliticizes
my intent and purpose.
When Unity and New Thought make the statement that
we are the creators of our own realities, it is made without
caveats of exceptions or loopholes within which to find justifi cations for those moments when it is absolutely impossible
for such a statement to have a shred of evidential truth.
It simply says that we are the creators of our own realities.
Further translated, it doesn’t say that because of anything
that might have happened or is happening outside of our
direct control that this is now true for only thirty or forty
or seventy percent of the time. It is a Principle, and like the
Law of Attraction—like gravity—like centrifugal force—
like why seven times seven is always forty nine if we stick
with numbers to the base ten—it is always what we might
call a universal Truth.
If indeed we are the creators of our own realities, and if
we are not presently allowing the bluebird of happiness to
sing in our ears, cause wellness in our bodies, abundance in
our financial lives and interpersonal relationships of joy, then
is it possible we need to be more selective in our choices of
architects and builders than we have exercised in the past?
For the purposes of this article, the answer is yes!
Collectively we are lazy in our refusal to make the
necessary leap from victim-hood to one of deliberate
creation, which is a state of allowing everything that has
been placed in something akin to a vibrational escrow
account by us, to find its way into manifestation. Why?
How many of us were taught by our mother’s knee the principle
of the Law of Attraction and the concept of what we
place within our vibrational signature is what this Law works
upon to bring whatever we want to do, be or have into focus
in our present moment? I was born into a Unity family and
that was the piece of the puzzle missing in my life as well.
There is a bumper sticker that, while using another word
that is usually offensive to many, says “Stuff Happens.” Not
so, for extrapolated this is the foundation upon which luck,
accident and chance can so easily rest…Stuff is the result of aprocess…it doesn’t just happen. Our lives, whether we want
to look at them from a historical, present day or future perspective
happen because of a process, and each and every
time we are the instigators of that process and it begins
with thought.
The bottom line to this article would state that ultimately
we are the allowers or disallowers of the process of our good
finding its way into our lives. Certainly we can be temporarily
affected by external conditions and circumstances that
can be lumped into different categories, but to the one who
holds steady and solid to the Truth of their connectivity to
Source Energy…the same Source out of which universes are
formed…that knowing will cut in and take precedent over
the actions, activities and even foibles of humankind. The
illustration that makes this point is the stock market crash
in the 20’s. Those who held the course were back where
they were or beyond in a few short years, and those who
didn’t weren’t.
We are the extensions of an eternal Energy and the
channels that are available for Its demonstration are endless.
We can never miss our ship that is representative of
this Energy for they just keep coming, the only thing we
can do is temporarily take ourselves out of the loop of
receptivity—too strong—diminish our receptivity by
bringing into our vibrational signatures the pronouncements
and prognostications of others that bring into our
emotions the feeling of trepidation.
So, if we are feeling trepidation let’s give it a new
purpose and allow it to serve as a reason to begin aligning
our words and expectations around what we want to do,
be and have, not what we do not. If necessary, fall back on
the logic that as an extension of pure Source Energy you are
no less worthy than anyone who has walked the face of this
earth, and then build a new story around this understanding,
not the false understanding that what someone might do
can permanently hold you away from your good. Now, that
understanding is exciting!
What story? Things always work
out for you! Everything is getting
better and is going to be all right!
Your internal guidance system can
be trusted to rendezvous you with
everything you desire to do, be and
have. No one or nothing can stand
between you and this greater good
unless you give it permission by
buying into its energy.
There is a story of a woman who
advertised for a chauffeur. To each
who responded she asked to be driven for a few miles and
told each that a near by intersection was very dangerous
so be cautious. All but one drove directly to that intersection
and proceeded through it with caution. To the one who
didn’t he was asked why he avoided the dangerous intersection
to which he responded, “Why should I go out of my
way to take my future employer into danger?” He got the
job. Moral? Don’t go in consciousness to any “intersection”
that elicits from you feelings of trepidation.
