Being is enough. This radical notion flies directly in the face of identity socialization, as it frees us from all definitions and expectations of self, opening the door to the experience of infinite possibilities and personal power.
When we get hung up on the negativity in the world, adding emotional reactions and blocking or cancelling all things "bad" we become agents of the conflict.
The moral to the story is that if you're attempting to actualize something, make sure it's not something else you're not acknowledging that you're making a deal breaker.
By observing Self as consciousness throughout matter, it puts us in a powerful creative position. There is no uncertainty about what is going to be reflected back to us--we are just BEING, and the swirling of physical matter we call the perception of life is merely responding to that being.
Our faith--what we depend on to be true--cuts both ways. We can have faith that life is one big joke then you die in everlasting darkness; or, we can have faith that life is basically good, and that we are infinite beings of everlasting light and love.
If things seem hopeless, then you can be sure someone is benefiting from that hopelessness. If you're angry, someone is using that anger for their purposes.
By doing this one thing: CHOOSING, you'll find that the Universe (the infiniteness of you) really has nothing else better to do than reflect back to you your choices.
For those of us who have stared into the abyss of this crisis of "seeing", it inevitably leads to a falling away of the illusory constructs of daily living, and if we stick with it, we'll go through the five stages of loss: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance.
Now, 99% of what we are experiencing in the manifested world is a subconscious creation. We are making the sun shine, we are rotating the planet, we are circling the galactic center--all subconsciously--so we are not "figuring out" how to do these things.
I've made it a priority to spot and release feelings of discouragement, hopelessness and doubt. These are the feelings that can take us into darkness and distress. All of these negative emotions arise from fear. They arise from the kind of fear that seems to force us to imagine the worst-case scenarios--the "what ifs" that seem so possible, even circling around when things are going good.
