Choose Wisely What You Would Bring In to Existence
This phrase appeared in my consciousness during a night of painful soul searching…anguish and prayer. As has occurred before, I found myself on my knees in a space of utter surrender…of letting go of the belief that I know how to figure things out…that I can solve my problems on my own. And so it is, that what follows is a deeply personal experience with an understanding that I could only discern for myself…and not meant as a global statement or prescription for you. Take what you will and use it as supports you on your own journey.
What I ‘bring into existence’ is so often a fear based energy; judgements, reactions to to what appears ‘out there’, perceptions of my creation that have been with me for as long as I can remember. Typically they are themes of lack, unworthiness, unacceptability…you get the picture. These are the conditions and filters that alter all my experiences and ensure I ‘validate’ and get mirrored back from the world these core beliefs about myself. And whether deliberate or not, these are the choices I have made all my life…these are the choices that give me my reality…what I expect and what I get. Think ‘self-fulfilling prophesy’…
The Divine Gift in the phrase above is: Choose Wisely. What is wise is Divine Love…Truth, Knowing, Guidance, Discernment. It is this energy of deep Self-Love and Self-honor that has me Know my True Self…ME…and not be at the mercy of what the fearful mind would bring into existence through my thoughts, feelings and reactions. It opens me to see and experience every circumstance and expression from myself and others, not through the ‘eyes’ of my limited self that thinks it knows what ‘something is or what it is for’, which only constrains and burdens, but rather as an opportunity to experience the Loving Essence and the gifts that are provided beyond the makings of the mind.
This simple phrase within which I find Truth and Understanding enriches my Life. It reminds me when I feel imprisoned by fear that I can choose to return to the eternal Truth that I am created from Love….to Love, and be Loved…forever. The choice is simple: fear or LOVE.
