Create Your Reality

What is reality? What is your reality? To begin this study we are reminded that throughout our life most of us have, at one time or another, participated in classes, seminars, workshops and other study groups. When a topic of discussion resonates with our beliefs we say: “Yes, I agree with that. Tell me more.” Absorbing these teachings we feel safe because it’s a part of what we already believe. But take a workshop that presents new and unfamiliar territory to us and we may resist, often saying: “Well, I don’t know about that idea. I’ve never heard that theory. Can that be really so?” By avoiding the new ideas, we feel safe within our own mind, while at the same time telling ourselves we don’t necessarily need to study this “new stuff”. I ask you to explore, think about, allowing yourself to tread new waters; you never know, you just may create a new reality, and a greater, more expansive You.

For many, many years mystics have taught there is one energy in the universe. Everything in the universe is the play, the dance, the vibration of one energy. That beneath every particle that seems so different, there is the same, common substance. This Oneness is often described as Omnipresence, or God.

While reading Bill Harris’ “Oneness Isn’t Metaphysical” he says the Hindus and Buddhists call this belief Satchitananda. “Sat” means “one energy, everywhere, making up everything, always, past, present, and future.” Quantum physics in recent years have been telling us basically the same thing. As a healing practitioner I know this to be true. There is some thing that sub-atomic particles come from, a seemingly nothingness, that is also where particles return to. This something, simply put, makes up either the foreground or the background of everything.

And since this energy makes up everything, is everywhere, forever, the mystics also said that this energy is aware of itself and is aware of being everything, everywhere and everywhen. This second characteristic of reality is called “Chit”. Chit is not the same as the cognitive sense of knowing, or recognizing something. This consciousness is every thing’s awareness of being everything.

So, if you were this oneness, this unity, then you would be everything, everywhere, every when. You would know this; you would be aware that you were everything. There would therefore be no reason for you to be separate from, or apart from Oneness. In addition you would need no journey, nowhere to go, nothing to learn, no seeking to search for because you would be everything.

The third characteristic of this reality, the mystics say, is called “Ananda”, which means bliss. As a result of this awareness, you would be blissful, happy, peaceful and ever joyful. Reality is satchitananda; “one energy, everywhere, out of which everything comes. According to this Buddhist teaching, this is who you really are. Each of our fears, our desires, the idea that we have to get somewhere, the feeling of lack, is illusion. This creates the illusion of separateness of ego, mind and body as our reality.

What Reality Are You Creating?

As each of us explore our reality, are we reinforcing who we know we are, or are we reinforcing what we’re not, or what we don’t want to be? The Law of Attraction tells us we attract what we think about. If you believe your reality about you, is it what you want? Or what you don’t want? Be very sure because those reality thoughts are what you’re gonna get! As I’ve shared before, every creation of every thing, begins with a thought. So crank up your “Thought Patrol” and watch what you’re thinking about.

In their book “Ask & It Is Given” by Abraham-Hicks, there are 22 proven processes for creating and living the life we desire. I am reminded before every class, group or workshop that I present, to share and work on the processes. I ask you:

“Do you use these processes?” They are ageless, timeless methods of self-improvement and self-realization. I’m so grateful to those known as Abraham who have given us modern-day language of these ancient teachings; it’s so much easier to use in today’s world.

What Do You Want?

Have you thought about and written down what you really want to manifest in your life? If you haven’t, how do you think you’re going to get there? Years ago when I was 11 or 12, my grandmother taught me to sew on her Singer treadle sewing machine. It was quite a task to keep up the steady peddling, avoid the pins in the fabric and my fingers with the machine needle while sewing in a straight line. Grandma taught me that by focusing my vision on the edge of the fabric where the seam would terminate, I would automatically go to that point. Aha! By keeping my sight on the goal, knowing where the seam would be, kept my seam straight and me on track. I love you, Grandma! Thank you.

This week, make a list of just 10 things you’d like to add to your life. Write it in present time wording, such as “I AM exercising every day” or “I AM sitting quietly in the park or my yard for 15 minutes every day.” Avoid the familiar litany of resolutions of “start exercising/ join a gym” or “give me more self time“. Next, read this list 3 times a day for 30 days, then daily for 90 days. I promise, you will see an enormous creativity manifest in your life.

Do you know what you don’t want in your life? Are there situations, relationships, attachments of any kind that no longer serve your reality? Make a list of 5-10 things that you intend to eliminate from your life. Again, make the wording in the present time. Take this list, tear it up in little pieces and discard, burn it in the fireplace, or bury it somewhere. When you perform this simple ceremony, your subconscious mind accepts that it is done.

Your conscious mind is the captain of the ship,

Your subconscious mind is the crew.

The captain charts the course and issues the orders,

The crew takes the orders without question.

You CAN create your reality, just as you like it, right here, right now.
