We’re plunging headlong into phenomenal change. Excitement about the new frontier in consciousness, with its promise of expanded awareness, collides with deep internal pulls to the familiar. We automatically repeat the same old story about who we are and how life is supposed to be. Emotional responses to that narrative wash over us in a comforting way, even though they perpetuate habitual flows of pain and misery.
Where our mind goes, reality flows. I recently watched the film, The Secret, which increased my awareness of the need to monitor the emotional pool that sustains our prevalent perception of self (based on past experience). It’s now important to disallow that "pool" to be the filter through which we create reality. The film describes the power of the Law of Attraction. It teaches us to train our mind to hold the description of what we want and to couple this mental out-picturing with the emotional fulfillment of actually living these realized desires. Although metaphysical laws of manifestation are simple to understand, they’re challenging to apply.
Vigorously potent frequencies blasted our planet on October 17th, 2006 to create an efficacious portal of manifestation. These energies magnified everyone’s thoughts. People encouraged each other to harness the mind into full focus for world peace, as well as personal happiness and prosperity, during this cosmic shower of energetic augmentation.
Determined to be a good torch bearer, I dutifully sustained positive thinking, complete with its joy-filled emotional counterpart, for two entire days. Wow, what a workout! My usual negative conditioning clawed at the outskirts of the wave of positivity that I determinedly held for 48 hours. How I longed to return to my customary way of thinking: fearing the worst, worrying about everything, wishing things were different while assuming that this is the way it will always be. My emotional body pressed against the newly-established levies of positivity, determined to flood me with its typical putrid sea of depression, frustration and resignation. Many of us live in those afflicted waters, with only occasional excursions into the fresh ocean of joy, happiness, contentment, inner peace and trust. I breathed a sigh of relief at the close of those two days. Satisfied that I had done my part to contribute to the new consciousness for world peace and collective happiness, I eagerly returned to the lazy zone of my normal expectations—glad that I didn’t have to make the big effort (exercise the spiritual muscles) to hold the focus required to consciously practice the Law of Attraction on an ongoing basis.
To make the shift in consciousness, we must release attachment to human pathos and forsake our personal/collective melodrama. Like Lot’s wife, we dare not look back at the wasteland of our human experience so as not to be frozen in the entrainment—the poignancy of the human theater—the archetypal Greek drama. We are cosmically mandated to describe a new reality that proclaims full self-actualization rather than be skewered to the rotten meat of the past.
What we broadcast returns to us. To authentically represent the soul we must proclaim life to be a wondrous experience instead of allowing negative expectations to refuel our never-ending grade B movie. We’re often trapped in the story (deeply ingrained in the unconscious) that describes the way we perceived childhood difficulties. Mental patterns and emotional circuitry, crosshatched with false beliefs, relive these sentiments. Childhood is a composite of karmic patterns requiring resolution. Detachment from the magnetics within this karma break the fascination with the melodrama that maintains stagnation and victimhood—is necessary to create the reality we desire.
Don’t look back—but don’t repress! We need to dig into the psyche to uncover and lance the boils of our afflictions. We must brave the terrain of self-examination in order to chart the mystery of our being. To leave the numb zone of the repressed self, it’s a necessity to tell our story. Then the feelings connected to the initial wounding that fragmented our birthright of wholeness can be re-experienced. Contact with our emotional past is essential. Like physical wounds— if we can’t touch them, we can’t cure them.
However, there’s a fine line between reliving the past to restore injured parts of ourselves vs. recreating, through the Law of Attraction, the very pain we wish to remedy. The shadow of psychotherapy is activated through excessive repetition of the story of the damaged self which ironically reenergizes wounds. Feeling like a broken record, we wonder why we can’t change. Although we want to honor the journey with all of its travails, need we savor every last morsel of misery before letting it go? The exquisite timing of the psyche naturally brings us to the next level of unfoldment when we’ve brought compassionate healing to all the unconscious trapped feelings from childhood issues. Then our wisest move is to let go and not look back.
Inventory of the wounds/patterns that no longer need review is a requirement to avoid the humiliating dynamic of being entrenched in patterns that are outworn, like being held back a grade in elementary school. Finally fed up with the tediousness of regurgitating the same old tale of woe, we decide to pioneer the unknown—the truth of who we are becoming.
So much more than the outcome of our past, we’re born anew each day with the opportunity to start fresh in our thinking/feeling. Once we’ve consciously integrated the buried/unhealed parts of ourselves, the past can be released. Every moment is a choice to look back or forward. That choice, intensely powerful, unfolds our life. What joy to leave it all behind and face the fresh horizon with the wonder that promises days of delight, bliss and fruition.
The Tibetan applauds my commitment to discontinue recycling the same old garbage. He teaches:
"Yes, it’s time for humankind to realize the powerful combination of the mind aligned with emotions. When students couple negative thinking with the resulting emotional counterpart to these pessimistic expectations— frustration, disappointment, resignation, unhappiness— they inevitably create wretched experiences. Of course humankind has no conscious desire to make life miserable. It’s simply caught in the sticky, stagnant comfort of mental habits, outmoded programming.
The wheel of repetition’s safety zone competes with the deeper impulse to evolve. The soul craves the "risk" of opening to the grand potential of living a life that is beyond one’s wildest dreams. A leap of faith is required to truly believe self-actualization is a probable outcome in this lifetime. The large-scale arena of a self-realized existence is prodigiously far-reaching—llike the Divine Mind -- infinite in nature and often terrifying to the wounded ego which would rather hide in the mire of habitual thoughts/feelings than release its control. Attempts to keep life small, manageable, predictable lead students to shortchange their possibilities by chronically repeating the same mental narrative. The emotional body flows in response to these habitual mental grooves.
Fearful of being overwhelmed by the vastness of who they are, students block out the Sea of Magnificence. They underrate their creative prerogative by assuming they’re victims of an unbending karma. But karma, highly alterable, transforms when one’s mindset changes. Humankind must take responsibility to create the reality it wants—nothing less. The moment one’s fascination and identification with a fixed karmic pattern ends, the mind and emotions are liberated to support a brand new reality.
Leave all "baggage" at the shoreline of the Sea of Magnitude. Use discipline and vigilance to look forward toward the horizon of the emerging consciousness. Resist the stale seduction of the historical magnets that captivate the lower mind and imprison the imagination. Break the emotional habits that wash away the potency of one’s creative channel. These obsolete heavy waters no longer cleanse the soul or quench the thirst of the spirit.
The emerging consciousness appears to be a strange, exciting, foreign realm that feels unnervingly spacious. Humankind may feel awkward, uncomfortable, uncertain in this new terrain. Students may be deeply disoriented and somewhat shocked at the presence of the unfathomable reality that lies beyond the tiny island of familiar mental and emotional patterns based on the old story of self. Although it’s a relief to escape into comforting patterns of limiting expectations, to live in the refuge of automatic thinking is untenable at this time of massive evolution.
Start to enjoy the rewards of mental strength that develop from purifying old thinking. Bask in the calm sweet waters that flow forth after cleansing the heavy emotional charges connected to the adversity within one’s story. Soon this new terrain becomes well-established— an original framework of thought patterns structuring amazing manifestation buoyed by a refined emotional response based in joy, fulfillment and peace.
Daily unshackle self from the old story. Dare to dwell in the openness of the unprogrammed self. Write down the new story. Feel its impact of gratification. From moment to moment remember to shift thought patterns into a positive framework that carries energetic momentum and opens a new angle of perception/experience. Notice where self has already stopped looking back at obsolete stories and realize how liberating it is to truly disencumber the spirit from the confines of the past. Humankind, flooded with Light by the bright Ray of Possibility, actualizes its destiny of mastery of the Law of Attraction and creates a resplendent New World."
