You Are In Charge 👉 On Shaping Your Life Moment by Moment
The map is not the territory. Allow your life to acquaint you with your beliefs.
If you're always making theoretical decisions about what you would want or should want, based on the current model of beliefs you think you hold – you will miss out on the value of being embodied – with life as your teacher.
First person: that is the experience of here and now on the Earth plane.
You see what is in front of you and you decide from each moment, what you prefer. It is helpful, at times, to get a bird's eye view – examine patterns that have repeated over time, take a look at how you "would" direct yourself if you were looking at the big picture – "the map" – but the map is ever-changing because the territory is ever-changing because You and your beliefs are ever-changing. It would be of benefit to you to spend more time and attention observing and choosing from exactly where you are in life right now.
What feels good today? What feels stuck or stagnant? Which areas of your life, or your body, or your house, or your relationships need a flashlight of awareness to elucidate what's going on? In performing this investigation, you make room for more love.
The crowded rooms of your heart need attention. Are those boxes filled with beliefs that are aligned with truth? Or are they filled with trauma and misunderstanding rotting You from the inside?
As blocks are removed, unconditional love fills the space and the expansion is palpable. More room for love. It's not only that anger or fear or pain are diminished – love, hope and joy are enhanced.
Allow your day-to-day life – your interactions with people, places and things – to guide you to understanding Your Self and what You want. You are shaping your life, moment by moment, with your attention. And your loving Universe is reflecting back to you the terrain of your own beliefs (which are formed and held with attention).
You didn't know you were in charge, but you are. You get to be.
It's fine to observe the game to figure out the rules – the play of cause and effect. But the winning experiences are IN the game. You wanted to play in physicality. It's not a higher or lower experience. It's an extension of ALL THAT IS. It's an unfolding miracle and it's very entertaining, if you let it be.
Circle around and hover over the deep, the center, the most meaningful.
You've added some extraneous tasks/directions/outlets but they will serve you if you allow them to.
Resistance is truly futile. If you want to waste energy, resist anything. Enjoy the falling house of cards. Find the current.
The current makes short work of long distances.
Choosing what You prefer without wanting it – wanting separates you from the current. You look at the current from outside it when you want.
Be IN the current. Look and choose in the moment, let your preferences evolve, and your true desires will flow to you with ever-increasing frequency.
About this message: In my nightly meditation ritual, I pose the question, "what does my eternal self wish me to know?" It's an attempt to connect with my truer self, the one beyond personality and cultural conditioning, the one who is and was and is to come – what some would call "the soul." Through automatic writing, the response is relayed without conscious attention and as much authenticity of feeling as possible. The messages often surprise me or alter my perspective deeply. They are always filled with love and assurance, which I have had a hard time finding in this life.
