The more we attempt to take responsibility by focusing on the most wonderful physical manifestation of an event close to our Heart, the more irresponsible and forgetful we will grow about our truest and most quintessential power: the emotional experience!
Only in this way we gradually come to understand that no matter what the physical manifestation of a 'life altering event' will look like, it holds absolutely no indication as to our internal experience of the event.
The physical is the outside, the emotion the inside. So long as we try to manipulate the outside in order to achieve the desired inside, we will follow the principle 'Life dictates, we adapt'. It is once we grasp that we have most fundamental power over our emotional experience that the physical will reflect that back to us. Now there is no doubt left: WE dictate, life adapts.
Any event which is most closely related to our Heart's and Soul's well-being cannot possibly be experienced as being 'beyond our control' as long as we are aware that our most quintessential creative power lies in the ability to choose our emotional Self-expression.
Personally, I found that the more I was talking and trying to convince others over my perspectives the less I was actually practically embodying my words. Once I noticed that I started lying my focus more onto the practical embodiment of my perspectives, which then in turn slowely but surely made me feel less of a need to talk and convince others. Magically, all the changes I formerly attempted to evoke in others by way of speech suddenly started manifesting into my reality experience thanks to having made the shift toward practicality and less talk. Now our loved ones SEE how we have changed, instead of listening to mere phrases, and it is this practicality which lends us more inner Peace and Soul growth, which is the key toward opening others' eyes to emulate our consciousness stream, whether consciously or unconsciously.
Knowing so, that I never need to desperately attempt changing others in order to create the individual and collective reality of my dreams but simply need to dial in the prefered emotion of my choice for any moment and experience with the silent awareness as to how I wish to experience life without any urge or necessity to openly divulge it to anyone; having my very personal learning episodes at the end of which I over and over again "re-realise" that I don't need to manipulate the movie screen in order to get the desired results but simply need to reconfigure and atune my own inner projector to the frequency station I wish to experience without the self-imposed uncomfortability of thinking I need to take action at all costs. Realising that "taking action", when driven by fear, is not conducive but destructive, and that quite often that which our mind makes us believe to be the best solution in a situation turns out to be the worst solution. Realising that consciously deciding to not take action in a situation but to trust that it will take care of itself most wonderfully without us being required to meddle in can pose much more a stretch out of our comfort zone than the decision to take action, yet at the same time magically alleviates the mind from overbearing mental heaviness.
To me, this awareness, that the Universe has its own order, and that the best way to control it is to not control it, is truly empowering.
Much Love,
