Turn the Horse and Cart Around...

Life is not getting any easier for many on our planet. We are all energetically connected at Source and are mentally and emotionally linked through our in-built senses and our advanced technological achievements now enable us to know very quickly what is happening to everyone around the world. We understand now that we can be affected by a butterfly that has flapped its wings in a rain forest as well as being aware, almost instantaneously, that a presidential candidate has escaped death by a whisker on his ear!

However, nobody is a victim - unless they choose to be one. You may recoil at this and deny that anyone would choose to bring trouble or annihilation upon themselves. However, the fact is we do choose what happens to us! Let me explain….

We are powerful beings. You may not have reached any firm conclusion yet as to who or what created you (for many that can be a “life long” exploration or a “countless lives long” exercise). Yes, you understand that you were born of your parents and know how creation works in terms of this world; you know what the physical body is all about because you can see it, touch it and feel it but may still be struggling with understanding how your invisible self works e.g. your thoughts, feelings, imagination and conscience.

You are a powerful being created by the universally acknowledged God force and made of the same stuff - Divine essence. You have been created by and from this Divine source energy and in the words of Jesus “you and my Father are one”. All the religious and esoteric teachings express this message in some way or another, even though some teachings may have been eroded by humans over the many centuries to suit their own ego expressions. Therein lies the clue of why and how these Divine teachings have become adulterated to such a degree that humanity has become confused about them, taken opposing sides in their interpretation of them and destroyed themselves and others in their attempt to see their own specific interpretation of God’s word recognised as the truth.

Maybe now is the time to embrace that inner part of ourselves and take up our true inheritance of being able to access Divine source intelligence directly, rather than accept doctrines that have been corrupted over millenniums by those in power, in an attempt to control humanity.

For a moment, let’s put all talk of God and religion aside and talk about us humans and what we believe in and what helps us get through each day. Let’s uncover what creates tension, fear and sadness within us and discover what inspires us and lifts us when we feel down?

Our thoughts lead us to our emotions and when we experience good feelings we enjoy life. When our thoughts become negative, our emotions become troublesome and we want to push them away or change them to better feeling ones.

So this alone is telling us that our thoughts are our problem. Our thoughts are real and they create our circumstances. So fearing the worst will bring the dilemma into our world, while embracing the good will bring its own like rewards.

We are constantly on the go in this mad dash world and because of this we are thinking unconsciously. We end up allowing all sorts of thoughts that are invariably negative, to come through our thinking. Spiritual law is “as within, so without” so unless we begin to train ourselves to become more aware, we will move further and further away from our real selves and our inner source of power and our ability to create the world we want for ourselves.

If you have ever watched a monkey running around exploring and going from one thing to another you will understand the reason why some people refer to us having “a monkey mind”. We need to learn to control our mind in order that we can more easily be alerted to our negative thinking and be able to make a choice to change it to a more positive thought. This control can only be developed by disciplining ourself and by regularly spending time in quiet contemplation in order to observe our thoughts prior to changing them.

Eckhart Tolle (eckharttolle.com) talks about moving into the present moment by focussing our attention in the ‘Now’ to enable us to move into the stillness of our being where we are able to access Source creation. Once we learn to do this we will be able to consciously create from Source. We have been ignoring our inner source of power for a very long time and as such have been putting the cart before the horse (creating our world from an unconscious state) but the time has now come in our history when we are finding our backs against the wall and we really have no option now other than to put the horse (our conscious awareness of our thoughts) before the cart (our unfolding life as a response to our thoughts).

There are so many differing views in this world that it really is time for everyone to search for their own truth. Any ‘so called’ truth we get from anyone else (including what I have written here) whether it be through literature, art, film or hear-say will be second hand and coloured by the experience and energy of the person who created them. The true message for you will come from your own experience and truth which you carry within you and there has never been a more relevant time to access that truth than now and the only way you can do this is by going into your WORLD WITHIN.
