Quick poem

I wrote this just now and felt that some might just enjoy reading it

Wondering about life, and how experience works,
my mind set the chairs, and the scene was there
thoughts emerging from wherever thought lurks
stanind up of hairs, explaining of life
the scene was set with the best of flairs

so I sat down for a round of intelligent banter
and it explained to me life at the pace of a canter
The emotions came forth, as did my asking
so the natural response was to get to the tasking

why did I resist such beauty and ease?
My mind responded “you did not want peace”
What does that mean, dear wise friend of mine?
it just laughed, saying “it was not your time”

At this point I startled, not sure what to say
so it advised me to not go so astray
Now what does that mean, I kept on inquiring?
So it just told me that thoughts keep transpiring

Our lives as a carousel

By default, our lives are like a carousel in which we get more of what we’re aligned to on a consistent basis. When we’re on a carousel, then we’re moving in circles, and that’s what we’re getting more of. We get more of the same scenery- again and again. Maybe it looks slightly different at times, bu the general experience we’re getting is the same. Our lives are a cycle as well. Or they can be. By default, we keep on attracting the same experiences for as long as we have the same energy. The experiences are just energy- our energy- and for precisely as long as we have the same energy, we attract the same things. What needs to be understood is the difference between a theme and a detail.

We may have a myriad of friends over the course of our lives, but if we don’t change, then all those friends are expressions of the same energy. They may appear unique (and they are in their own experience), but regarding the key characteristics, they will be the same. As long as you like listening to a certain kind of music, you’ll be more likely to have fiends who like that music too. If you change, then th fiends you attract do as well. And it’s the same with all kinds of areas of our lives.

The key to freedom and true progress is not to keep on going in circles on the carousel, but to look at it, assess whether you want it, and then say: ‘I want a better ride’. So you get off of the ride and go to another one. You are consciously deciding on what life to live, rather than to keep on attracting one by default.

Because, how do we re-write our experience after all? By placing our attention on something unlike that which we have focussed upon previously. And unless we make the conscious decision to change our focus, we just observe what is already manifest. And by doing so, we’re constantly attuning our energy to more of the same. And the more we do this, the ‘denser’ our energy tends to become, and the more of an effort it may take to open up to a new and improved experience.

What we need to transcend the cycle is awareness. Our conscious awareness allows us to imagine things as differently than they are in our physical experience. It’s worth noting though that I am not referring to the reasoning mind so much as our conscious awareness of our gut feelings, those hunches we get from beyond the surface level. That level of us comes from beyond the subconscious programming and can help us to transcend the cycle of sameness more than just about everything else.

A Play of shadows: The manifestation of a scripted scenario

Imagine a huge theater in which a fantastic play is being conducted right now. The actors outpour the emotions from their souls in precisely the way in which it has been intended according to the script. The performance is like an exact reflection of what was imagined in the mind of the originator of all this spectacle. The actors are even so immersed in their roles that they quite literally become their character. Now everything in the script comes natural to them and there is no need to remember how to feel in a given situation, how to act, or what to think. It is all natural.

This is your life.

Your life is like the stage of that theater. And you are both the originator of the script, and the main actor within it. On one level, the script represents your intentions, and on another, the exact nature of in which these express themselves. When you decide to play a certain part in life, and consistently focus on it, then you become the person who fits those circumstances. Once you are that person in your default state of being, you naturally behave in line with that course of action which would most efficiently help with the realization of what you want in life. Just like the actors in the stage play who have become so immersed in their roles hat they have become their part.

Our world is like a play of shadows in which our innermost thoughts and feelings ‘externalize’ themselves to show us people, places and situations which are of the nature of those thoughts and feelings. The circumstances we attract aren’t actual and substantial, but rather mere shadows. They aren’t the cause of where our life goes, but the effect of something greater.

We are both the director and the main actor in this play, but if we think that we are just an actor, then we can become so immersed in the play that we become the actor, and attract circumstances which make it appear as though the script is not in our control. If we just take a moment to investigate what is all around us on the stage of our life though, then we may find that we have carefully rehearsed the part we’re playing by imagining ourselves as doing so. And within not too long a while, we got the physical equivalent. Maybe we like what our life shows us, or maybe we don’t. One thing is clear though: If we want a play to change, then we need to look at the script. We need to be clear about our intentions, and that means to be honest with ourselves.

I will be happy when…

Certain things have a tendency to make us feel good, while others don’t do so. Often when we want to manifest something, the cause is found in just wanting to feel better. Wanting to feel truly good can serve us, but is it always helpful?

I’d suggest that we need go about feeling better in a certain way to be as successful as we can be with it. When we want to feel good, and set intentions as a result, then doing so with an attitude of ‘I will feel good when I got what I wanted’ only keeps what we want from us. Because, if we’re feeling something in about our present physical circumstances, which is essentially ‘unhappiness’ and we think that we’d only be happy when we’ve attained what we wanted, then we’re no in resonance with what we want. Our state of being is one of ‘ I’m not happy because I haven’t got what I wanted yet’, and that feeling-state is not operating on the same wavelength as the one of ‘I am happy now that I have what I want’.

The solution is for us to feel happy before we’ve attained what we wanted; even if what we’ve wanted was originally intended to make us feel happy. This feeling of happiness is what draws it towards us. The ‘ I’ll be happy when…’ feeling-pattern is probably one of the most common blocks to effective manifesting, and the solution is to realize that happiness doesn’t depend on any one circumstance. Some circumstances may make it easier for us to experience happiness, but that’s not because of the nature of happiness itself, but rather due to our own sense of reality- our perspective. When we shift our experience in the correct manner, then it also gets easier to be happy with our present physical circumstances- while still being motivated for more.

Now what is another name for this state of being? We’re not emotionally dependent to the manifestation of something to feel good about life. After all, we’re already happy, and if we also recognize that we could have something even better than what we’re intending to manifest, then we’re in a fantastic position for not being emotionally attached to whatever we’re manifesting.

On action and approval

Much of the law of attraction is very much related to action. This is not just meant in a physical sense, but also in terms of mental and emotional behavioural patterns. Deciding to think certain thoughts is action just like deciding to have an orange juice is. Not all action is he same though, and the determining factor of how effective it is can be found in one thing: energy.

There are a lot of metaphorical definitions of that, but in a rather literal way, taking action from one energy is not the same as it would be from another. Now, what does this mean? It is a rather arbitrary-seeming thing, quite possibly. What it means is that the state from which an action takes place is coming *from* the energy of fulfilment. And this is key to the deliberate usage of the Law of Attraction.

There is a way of thinking which essentially states that if some work is done, it needs to be critiqued to be done better. Effectively, the more of the possible points to criticize are being mentioned, the better the work gets. This is one way of looking at it, though I tend to not really think it to be accurate. I’d rather suggest that a feeling of criticism just attracts more situations in which to have poins to criticize. To perform at 100% then, there needs to be an energy of approval and support. To approve of work doesn’t mean that it can’t be improved. It’s just to see the good in it, and the more this is the case, the more there is also a resonance with more good to be done.

Our actions, just like our thoughts, or lives…like everything, really… are congruent with our energy. If our energy is one of appreciation, and we attract what our energy is, then what would we need to draw towards us?

More things to appreciate.

And I’d say it’s a rather more fun way of living.
