We’re ALL Safe!
I was thinking about how we have to really cultivate ideas for them
to grow. It is not accidental that Kris talks about cultivating an
inner garden and Elias talks about inner landscapes. Our outer gardens
(the seeds we have planted to create the blossoms we want in our lives)
need to be cultivated too!
This includes our actions of course, but also the thoughts we
entertain, the choices we make and the influences we act upon. All of
these categories of expression can be ‘cultivated’ to very good effect.
Without cultivation, a passing idea or idle thought, however
dramatic in the moment, easily slides away from our attention and fades
into forgetfulness. Particularly if we accept it with equanimity for
what it is and let it go.
It’s only when we energetically seize upon an idea that it becomes
magnetized and begins to attract related ideas, which then coalesce
into a world view that eventually becomes more or less fully
articulated. Only at this point do our earlier convictions start to
have an influence in our everyday lives.
[It’s almost as though our material creation energies don’t
respond until our expressions reach a certain level of coherence and
conviction around a particular issue. Let’s call it a reality creation
‘buffer zone’ based on our level of commitment to any one of the many,
many ideas we are always flirting with.]
This design allows us ample time to explore options and follow many
different probabilities right up to the moment when we finally decide
just exactly what kind of ice cream, or mixture of ice creams :), we’re
going to have for dessert tonight.

Chatting with myself a few moments ago, I was pondering the idea
that you can’t create in someone else’s reality. This is a sobering
thought for someone who is becoming an Aspect Therapist. However good
our intentions might be, we simply cannot create someone else’s reality
for them - everybody has to ‘roll their own’, so to speak.
It’s not that essences, and other even wider beings one presumes,
benevolently refrain from creating in our realities out of the virtues
they have acquired in their ‘exalted’ state. The truth is that it just
can’t be done!
Think about it. Each of us experiences reality by the use of our unique perceptive mechanisms.
Perception is interesting. The idea implies two distinct and
necessary things. The first is a unique point of awareness within
consciousness. Perception implies an “I”.
The second thing is continual input of some kind from the ‘rest’ of
consciousness, that part of the ultimate unity of consciousness that is
not pretending to be this particular point of awareness. Since it’s all
a process, one could say that perception is the natural consequence of
establishing a unique point of view which then necessitates the
movement of all of consciousness around itself.
Someone trying to create our reality for us would have to be
manipulating our perceptual mechanism in some way, since that is how we
create our reality.
The problem is that while it may be possible to influence the second
aspect of perception - the outward parade of experiences we flowing
past us - it remains impossible, by definition, to create any kind of
reasonable approximation of the first requirement for perception - that
unique point of awareness that does the perceiving.
This is more a quality of consciousness than any kind of moral
imperative. Let’s put it this way, our unique identity, the “I” of
“me”, is inviolate and unlimited in its scope.
No one else can ‘be’ us, so no one can perceive the exact and unique
way we do. Ipso facto, no one else can create within our reality
because they cannot contrive to perceive as we do without actually becoming us!
So we’re ALL safe!
