You Create Your Own Reality - 101
All the ‘dead guys’ are adamant about this point, we create our own
reality. It is as though this is an idea whose time has come. Science,
weather, cartoons, presidential elections, they all point to the fact
that we create our own reality.
It was Seth, channeled by Jane Roberts who first coined this phrase
but it has grown to define a movement in consciousness that is only
gathering strength in this new millennium.
Just being ‘alive and kicking’ steers our reality creation
mechanisms in whatever direction we concentrate our attention. This is
our power as expressions of Source in this physical dimension.
Ok, so let’s talk for a moment about the mechanics of reality
creation and why it is so significant for us to begin to accept our
role and responsibility in the creation of our own reality. [What might at first blush seem like a burden turns out to be the ultimate freedom so please bear with me.]
If you create your own reality, as all the ‘dead guys’ tell us, you
are creating the one you’re experiencing right now. This is not
something you can stop doing, or fail to do, or screw up in any way.
This is not a superpower we can turn on and off.
In each moment, without exception, we each immaculately create our
own reality without thought or effort, and there’s really nothing we
can do about it at that level. It is an inherent characteristic of our
being.
Of
course we have free will and can pretend with uncanny convincingness
that we are a victim of our realities, or ‘the devil made me do it’, or
whatever rationalization we might choose to deny our innate powers and
settle for a reality we don’t like.
This basic fact of how we create our lives here in the physical
takes nothing away from the deeply angelic and metaphysical meaning of
the experiences we create for ourselves. Of course it’s all about the
metaphorical meaning, and the inchoate feelings, and the myriad
relationships, and the awesome realizations that allow us to unscrew
the inscrutable. This is all true and of immense value.
But there is something refreshing, almost astringent, about
accepting as a simple mechanical fact that where we point our
attention, living realities start spinning off and streaming towards us
to experience if we choose.
[We, each of us, are the captain of our ship, and the resources
and potential of the entire universe, known and unknown, lie poised and
waiting to manifest 'more of' whatever we choose to point our attention at.]
If you are starting to think this is a rather egotistical thing,
this creating our own reality, keep in mind that where you end up
focusing your attention on any given day is only about half your
choice. The other half is the pattern of familiar and interesting
things your reality does all day long that capture your attention.
This is the alarm in the morning followed by the coffee and drive to
work, the red lights and green, everything that we place our attention
on during the day, followed by a trip to the pub for a couple of short
ones and a couple of hours in front of the TV after dinner.
Our neo-conscious provides this daily pattern of focal points to
allow us to effortlessly redefine our world by affirming the necessary
beliefs, assumptions and conventions that allow our everyday world to
reconstruct itself with the ideal levels of continuity and novelty.
These daily patterns of attention, mostly directed by our
neo-conscious, direct our reality creation mechanisms just as much as
the ‘conscious’ choices we make as a self-aware ego construction.
The good thing is that our neo-conscious mind is absolutely open to
input from us about what kinds of experiences we want to have. In fact
the neo-conscious actually looks to us for guidance and direction in
this. Such is our power.
