Your thoughts create your reality...

The fact that your thoughts create your reality can be a difficult one for people to come to terms with.  Once you accept this, you have to take responsibility for yourself, for your life, and for your part in things.  It no longer allows you to play the victim.  How can you be a victim if you created the situation in the first place?  Some people thrive from the drama and the sympathy that can be gained by being the victim.  It is an easy way to live as it’s not your fault, you are the wronged party and you accept no responsibility for yourself whatsoever.  This serves no purpose for soul growth and is actually disempowering to us as human beings.

Once you realise you are the creator of your reality to can take charge of the situation.  If you don’t like it you can change it; change your thinking, change your attitude.  You can take charge of your thoughts and be more mindful of them, trying to encourage positive thoughts, and cancelling out the negative ones.  It allows you to take responsibility of your situation.  If you don’t like it, don’t create it (or if you have created it, see the bigger picture and the opportunity).  We need to be creating from our higher mind, from the place of soul, and not be consumed in the limitations and fear created by the lower mind.

 

This follows on from my post about contracts and looking for the gift and opportunity in situations, and taking responsibility for our part in things.  Our soul draws to us the people, places and situations we need to master ourselves.  Everything is carefully co-ordinated.  We need to realise that and take up the opportunity we have been presented with for our growth.  Our soul doesn’t care if we don’t, it will just quietly wait for the next moment when it can present us with the opportunity again.  It may be in a different guise, but the lesson outcome will be the same.  So, when you look at things from that perspective, it makes you want to roll your sleeves up and just jump in and get on with it.  If we ignore things, they will just come around again, more magnified the next time.

You may be wanting an example of just how thoughts can create our reality.  How can we see this simply in practice in the world?  Take for instance a woman who is insecure in her relationship and she is fearful that her husband will have an affair.  She will keep thinking ‘he’s having an affair’, ‘he’s going to have an affair’, she will be re-affirming this thought again and again.  This will have an impact on the husband who will then eventually have an affair due to the broken relationship, leading the woman to easily slip into the victim role, and congratulate herself that she knew all along that he’d have an affair.  Not of course realising that it was a self-fulfilling prophecy!

Another example could be with your health.  You have a twinge of pain somewhere.  Instead of realising that this is a message from your body, or something naturally working its way through your system, you immediately panic.  You are sure it is something bad, you fret about it, and keep putting your thoughts and energy to the body part and before you know it, you have manifested the illness you have been fretting about, the illness you created with your thoughts. 

So how do we keep our thoughts constructive?  Try not to indulge in negative thinking, in thoughts that could be harmful towards yourself and others, and in gossip.  It’s not as easy as it sounds, and it does take a lot of practice.  Be gentle with yourself if you do slip up.  If you notice any ‘bad’ thoughts that will be creating negative situations for you, just pull yourself up, think ‘cancel’, and mentally say to yourself that you ‘wish to undo the effects of that thought in all dimensions and directions of time’.  That will allow you to negate the thought and reel it back in before it is sent out to the universe to come back to you in manifested form.

Remember, energy follows thought, so choose your thoughts wisely.  They are the most powerful tools you have!
