“The World: Our Mirror ” category is intended to improve your life in very real, concrete ways. In order to make changes on the “outside” however, we need to make changes on the inside: in our inner world of beliefs, imaginings, ideas, thoughts, feelings and attitudes. Trying to bring about any kind of change in our (so-called) external life only works, however, if we project the appropriate energy (think of it as gathering together the right ingredients to make the perfect cake ) onto the film screen that surrounds us which we call physical reality. In other words, think of yourself as being the projector of the holographic film - the reality- that you want to watch, participate in, and experience.
So, just to repeat - because it can’t be repeated enough, in my view - what is doing the projecting is you: the inner you that consists of your beliefs, imaginings, thoughts, etc, etc. So if you are going to learn how to master the physical plane, you need to understand that what you see in the outside world is the result or effect of what is happening within your psyche. The “outer” is always the result of the “inner,” remember.
I found this article called “Comfort Lies,” by Aman Motwane, which is about our craving for comfort: our need and desire to hear comforting, reassuring words, instead of facing up to the reality of things.
Here’s a quote from it, “. . . face what you need to face and do what you need to do.”
I love this article because it gives such good advice. Avoidance of “what is,” means we’re not fully accepting the reality we have brought to ourselves; basically, it means we’re deluded, living in fantasy.
Yet, the more we face up to and accept ”what is,” right now, the more the light of our awareness heals the difficult situation. Our refusal to face something or someone always holds us in that situation or relationship, just as our avoidance of something or someone, will ensure it keeps on recurring or returning.
The website that the article “Comfort Lies,” is published on, is www.alive.com. Ms. Motwane has apparently written a book entitled, “WhenYou Change How You See The World, Your Whole World Changes.” Exactly right: perception is everything. Although I’ll have to add my two pence on that subject another day!
Go on. Have a read.
