Hey all!
I have trouble with this myself, in fact it keeps holding me back, and the following is what flowed just now about it for me. I thought I'd post it here just cuz it might assist another.
Not really sure if this is a rant or a release... I'm going with release. *heehee*
It's a quiet revolution. Realize this. Change always starts at unseen levels. The world around you is a results zone, not the place to effect change. True change, which you create within your unseen energy field (emotions, thoughts, etc.) will be reflected in the outer world.
People fear that no change is really occurring because all efforts on the outer/external levels are thwarted by the Powers That Be. What they don't understand and would do well to grasp is that the external/outer is the only arena in which the PTB have any seeming power at all. And that power is false. It's all an illusion.
If you can truly grasp this, really understand it, then you can apply it to your life and experience what you truly desire.
Those who work from a platform of wishful thinking have no clue what's REALLY going on, no clue what's living quite strong and clear at the unseen, creation levels of life. If you truly understand this, then you know that what you see on the surface of this world is the death of illusions that have lived for eons.
The PTB are trying to keep phantoms and illusions and fantasies alive, and you help them each time you react to the PTB's activities without going within and resolving the matter into the light of truth. You choose to invest in the illusion, and that serves to keep it around longer.
If you don't understand this, you keep investing your energy in fighting the PTB on their turf (the outer), where their power is great, although illusory.
So you get the result of the illusion of failure to enact change.
Your energy investment in fighting what they're trying to do creates another illusion. This is what they want from you. If YOU believe they have power, enough that you keep choosing to fight them, you're investing YOUR power in their arena.
This means your own power is not available for you elsewhere. It's a simple energy concept that so few understand.
All change has ALWAYS started at the unseen level. YOUR unseen level as well as the collective unseen level. This is the way things work. Naturally.
To attempt change at any other level is to manipulate nature, which in truth can't be done, so... do you see it?... your actions (attempting to make changes in the outer) amount to investing in illusion.
Then you get upset that the illusions won't cease, you want only what's REAL and OBJECTIVE and TRUTH… but you consistently invest your energy in illusions. The place to work for change is INSIDE YOURSELF.
What does that mean? Make every effort to REALIZE the truth regarding your use of energy. This alone will enable change of great magnitude.
When the PTB take away a "right" of yours, realize that THEY NEVER HELD YOUR RIGHTS IN THEIR POWER TO BEGIN WITH, SO THEY HAVE NO POWER TO TAKE THEM FROM YOU. If you feel your rights have been taken, realize it is YOU who GAVE THEM AWAY.
When someone in your environment "makes you angry", realize that THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT YOU FEEL, SO THEY CANNOT MAKE YOU FEEL ANYTHING. If you feel angry, realize it is YOU who chooses to feel anger in the face of whatever they present to you.
You are choosing to REACT in the moment, rather than OPEN and LEARN. Every moment of potential reaction from you contains a gem of truth in the offing. CHOOSE TRUTH INSTEAD. CHOOSE TO OPEN AND LEARN rather than react.
If you do, there will be no contention between you and the other person, and in fact there will be upliftment, gratitude, cooperation instead of competition, and EXPANSION.
And even if in that moment you cannot make the conscious choice to find the truth instead, DO IT AS SOON AS YOU CAN. Look BACK on the event and EXTRACT the truth that lives in the energies of that event. You do yourself and the other person a great service when you do this!
When you find the truth in the face of the illusion, over and over and over… the illusion becomes a distant memory for you, not your living reality.
THIS is the way to exit. For good. Choose the truth in the face of the illusion over and over.
Ok, an analogy…
Let's say you have 100 energy units to work with every day. This is what makes up "you" here. 100 ee's.
So, you wake up and you're in pain (which is an illusion because spirit/soul has no body, therefore no physical pain).
- 5 ee's go toward maintaining the physical pain you're in, in your awareness.
- 10 ee's go toward the emotions invested around this pain (anger, frustration, fear, envy of those not in pain, etc.)
- Another 10 ee's go toward thoughts invested around this pain (mental patterns, beliefs, ideas about the pain)
So far, you've awakened to a day and already invested 25 of your 100 energy units allotted for the day, that make up WHO YOU ARE here, and you haven't even gone to the bathroom yet!
Thoughts of what you "have to do" today take up another 15 ee's. Emotions regarding the fact that you "have to" do these things, plus the stress of all you really WANT to do but can't because you "have to" do these other things, take up another 15 ee's. You only have 45 ee's left.
And that's just one small example of the amount of energy it takes to maintain even the smallest illusions most people choose to live from every day. Bear that in mind here!
As you go about your day, maybe you let go of some of your energy investment in illusion which you started the day with, but those regained energy units are reinvested in other physical, emotional or mental patterns that serve to keep you down. Literally, down… in the dense illusion of a "reality" that is anything but real.
Let's just say that you somehow manage to retain about 40 energy units for the maintenance of your TRUE SELF in this world of illusions involving "needs", "wants", "shoulds", etc. These 40 are your "allocated spiritual self units", we'll say. And what do you do with them?
Most people lately are investing these 40 daily units of energy - if they even HAVE that many, of course - in FIGHTING THE POWERS THAT BE, SAVING THE PLANET, etc.
WHAT ABOUT YOU? The REAL you? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR REALIZATION OF YOUR TRUE SELF? YOU are!!!
How are you going to become your true self here if all of your energy is invested in the illusion?
So there you go, what came through in my moment of frustration with myself today.
