You are a participant in the creation of your life. To what degree do you want to participate? To what degree do you want to surrender and feel the trust inherent in your heart [a feeling that connects you to creation, to source, to the universe]?Do you trust life or are you afraid of it?
Witnessing both your relation to both love and fear is integral to understanding the way in which you relate to life. Do your actions proceed out of love or out of fear? Do you make choices in your life out of love or out of fear? Are you creating your life out of love or out of fear... essentially this dictates how you will experience your life....
Do you want to make that change in your life or are you a little afraid of what could happen? Do you want to move to a new city? Do you want to take part in a new career? Do you want a fulfilling relationship?
Do you trust that the universe can make this happen for you? Do you trust that yourself so that you will allow it to happen? Or are you going to let the same old patterns and ways of life exist because you are a little timid.
This world is your canvas. What do you want to create for yourself?
Realize...all of your creations are produced by how you project your inner experience onto the world outside of you. If you trust life and know that it will unfold in your favor, than the universe will protect you and aid you in your evolution in a way that feels good. Why? Because when you trust what you are essentially doing is allowing the universe to live through you in the way it knows how to.
The universe [or the movement of creation and the fabric of life as we know it], only wants to produce experience that is divine. That is all it knows. Do you think that the heavens were created void of feelings? Think of this...if there was a feeling associated with the creation of the universe what do you think that feeling would feel like? If you were witnessing the unfolding of the most cosmic, divine, and dynamic process of creation would you not feel the most blissful sense of awe you have ever felt?
Experiential choice is the product of duality...
Only in our separation from source does duality come into existence, but through this duality we can come to realize that we are our own universes, our own beacons of creation, our own source of divinity...that is if we connect again to this movement of creation through trust. When you trust you love. So if you project to the universe love, what do you think it will return for you?
As Neale Donald Walsch said in the Conversation with God Trilogy, "The Universe is a zerox machine. It will product for you exactly what you feel, think, and create."
If you project to the universe a feeling of love and lead your life through this feeling you will be brought to just the "right" experiences, to the "right" people, and into the "right" environments...
...That is if you believe you should be...Again, to what degree do you want to participate?
I put quotes around right to emphasize the point that you are always "right." Your life is your subjective creation, but when will the experience of what is "right" for you lead you to lead a life of great awe and adventure, big love and grand experience, and a knowing in your heart that life is here to serve you [and not the other way around]. This is your choice.
When do you want that new career, that new love, that new life! This is your choice too!
Creation happens in the experience...
Luckily for all of us, understanding this is more than intellectual. Put down any pressure of trying to solve how to live out of love or out of fear. Your mind cannot know life in its entirety, so let it relax... Life is, in many ways, beyond knowing...
"So if life is beyond knowing then how do I act, how do I then create what I want?"
Why not start to feel what it is that you want. Start with a feeling, not just a thought. Feel what a "good" life would feel like...then follow the feeling. You follow the feeling when you bring this feeling into your daily interactions with people, places and things. The canvas on which you paint your life then becomes drastically influenced by this feeling. You will then begin to manifest a reality for yourself that is more aligned with the feeling you have as to what a good life should be for yourself. Can just feel out how you going to create, create, then later think about what you created in retrospect?
Let your thoughts serve your feelings...not the other way around...
Again, all of this serves you only to the degree to which you believe it does. So essentially why not go within and ask yourself...
Do you want a life lead by love
or
Do you want a life dictated by fear
To not go within you go without...
To come back around to the beginning...Does the love inherent to existence protect you. Do you trust life? Do you feel protected? Does life feel safe to you?
Again, this is all in how you perceive it. You choose it....but why not choose what you want to experience...
Your life is your own self-fulfilling prophecy. How do you want this prophecy unfold?
If you feel that the universe is here to aid you in the creation of a loving, peaceful, and abundant life...
than...
You are protected...
than...
You are protected...
Even if the world may be crumbling around you, you are protected... Why? Because you know you are!
Find your freedom in surrender.
Find your freedom in trust.
Surrender is a knowing...a knowing that you can trust the process of life.
This "knowing" accompanies the feeling of trust...as in trusting the process of life to unfold as it will...revealing to you your true nature...as it unfolds in each successive moment of the now.
So why not lead this "unfolding of life" through love...as opposed to through the same old timidness and fear that has produced nothing but the same?..?..?
This is really a wonderfully written article and I'm sure speaks to every person - at one time or another. It just made me realize a place in my own life that I've been living through fear rather than love. A great reminder for me to accept where I am, sit with the fear to understand where it's coming from and use it as a tool. Is this surrender? I'm not sure....
ReplyDeleteWhat is surrender? How does one surrender? How do we know if we are surrendering? We hear this word so often but I'm not sure we all -- including myself -- always know its meaning or HOW to surrender, particularly when we are emotionally involved in a situation.
to anontella. i think that to surrender simply means to release control. that is all. if you trust in the process of the universe giving back to you what you give to it, through thoughts, feeling or action, then you do not need to "worry" about creating anything. just enjoy living and then life will work itself out. because that is the process. if you live joy, life gives you joy.
Deleteand you cannot surrender when you are emotionally involved. so un-involve yourself. stop the cycle of dramatic thoughts by simply thinking something else. anything else. think of the word yes. turn around any negative statement about what you do not want, into a statement about what you like, what you appreciate. and only when you are then feeling good should you go back and look at what you desire. because then you will be un-involved. you will not view the situation with a feeling of fear or resistance, and you can make a statement of desire with a feeling of positive expectation.
in my experience, nothing constructive comes from trying to create life from a place of negative emotion feeling. never. it might seem like it should, or that your thoughts and feelings are important! but even if they are, and even if you still think the same way about a situation when you are feeling better... getting to the better feeling place is the most important part. from there, think your thoughts. the words might be the same, might not, but the colour will be different, the vibration will be different, and you will create with that vibration.
best of luck. a.
truly, practice appreciation. look for the good. and it will make any awareness of your fears seem like not such a big deal. and when they are not such a big deal, they will not control your creating vibration
