We are authors of our world

I hereby embark on this adventure of sharing my thoughts on what would have our world work for all people and all of life.

I write from my deep conviction that as a human race we already have everything we need for a wonderful life, and we ourselves have the capacity to create the world that we choose.

Here are some ideas to lay the groundwork for telling a new story:

We consciously perceive only a tiny fraction of the energy present in the universe.

All possibilities exist as real potentials right now.

Energy flows where attention goes.

What we experience is a perfect reflection of where our attention has been going, i.e., the stories we have been telling. We are 100% responsible (able to respond) for the stories we tell. If we want to experience something new, we have to start telling new stories. The stories we tell create our world.  Again, we are 100% responsible (able to respond) for what shows up in our world.

If the world as we experience it is 100% the result of the stories we have told (albeit unconsciously) in the past, we need to: 

1) Become conscious of the stories we have told unconsciously. We have inherited these stories and often continue to repeat them unconsciously. By becoming conscious of them, we free ourselves from having to repeat them and experience a world created by them.

2) Focus on what’s working and it will expand. (Appreciative Inquiry)

3) Empower ourselves as creators. Take responsibility for generating new stories.

Our disempowering beliefs (stories) were absorbed when we were very young and thus are lodged in our subconscious. How do we let go of them and replace them with empowering beliefs?

You could say that these are beliefs that go against the natural evolution of life. (Notice that the results they produce are out of alignment with Life.) Thus, by connecting with Nature in any of its expressions, we put ourselves back in the flow of evolution and life.

We can connect with nature by:

-         moving our bodies, especially outdoors and in natural settings

-         being present in our bodies

-         enjoying delicious, healthy food

-         meditating

-         paying attention to dreams and other non-rational states of being

-         listening to or playing music

-         creating art

-         engaging in wholesome sex

-         bathing, swimming

Our feelings are indicators of our progress. When we experience negative emotions, it indicates that we are telling a story that is out of alignment with the natural expression of who we are. Negative emotion indicates resistance. Positive emotions indicate allowing.

We have the wholeness of the universe to support us as it has evolved through billions of years and has brought us to this moment. Wherever our lives are not working, it is because we, in our capacity as creators, have created something that is out of alignment with the forward direction of evolution, the grand creative expression of the Great Mystery.

By opening and surrendering to, by inviting the guidance of the Great Mystery, we can become conscious of which habits of thought are creating a world we would not choose, let go of those thoughts and think thoughts that generate the world we choose to experience. Once these new thoughts become a habit of thinking and we share our new story with others such that they support us in our creation, we are well on the way to manifesting the new world that is present in our story.

In my next post, I will tell my new story.
