An alternate reality beyond our senses
What are your predominant beliefs about life? There is no right or wrong answer, but it is important that we know what we believe about life. Would you agree, what you believe determines your reality? I ask these questions because our beliefs are the canvas on which we paint our life’s masterpiece. Our beliefs are the repositories of our past and existing reality. We gain great knowledge about ourselves by understanding our beliefs, since it is the foundation on which we build our lives. Similarly, we are unaware of the limitless possibilities and opportunities available to us; beyond our senses.
Life is an intricate web that works perfectly and cohesively. What may appear to be disorder and dysfunction is actually a well-ordered system that works on its own. For example, how do the planets know the precise order to orbit each other in the solar system? How does the human body, with its thousands of intricate biological processes, work? Yes, things can go wrong with our physical health, however, I don’t think this is the fault of Mother Nature, but our way of thinking. Life has a lot to offer us and we are accessing a small portion of what is possible.
Do you agree that we live in a loving universe? Or do you think the universe is a hostile place? It requires examining your beliefs and deciding if you are open to changing them. In my 20s and for most of my early 30s, I believed that the universe was a hostile place. I was convinced that my difficulties were life avenging me for wrongdoing. Naturally, I worked on changing my views and over time I changed my beliefs. I am not asking you to change your beliefs, but consider that an alternate reality, beyond your senses, is possible. I invite you to dip your toe into the possibility of this reality being understood as love, kindness, and compassion. It requires activating our inner wisdom to align with this benevolent power.
Life has more to offer us
If I must share one piece of wisdom gained over the years, it is this: everything you see and experience is not what it seems. Your difficulties, disappointments, setbacks, and challenges are not meant to belittle you, but to awaken you to your true power. Changing our beliefs helps us experience a different reality, already present but hidden from our level of consciousness. Therefore, as we expand our consciousness, we realize the true nature of our reality. We recognize that our challenges and disappointments help us develop the essence of who we really are; spiritual beings having an earthly experience. We begin to experience better circumstances based on our level of consciousness. To prove this point, think of a life-changing experience that took place 10 or 15 years ago. Try to get an idea of how you thought about what happened, and compare it to how you think now. Would it be fair to say that your perception of the event has changed?
Sure, you could say that the passage of time has allowed you to heal emotional wounds. What if the level of growth you experienced over the years was the key factor in seeing this situation differently? What I’m trying to say is: when we expand our mind, we move from pain and disappointment to joy and freedom. We cannot rush this process other than in the hope of falling in love with a new love interest. But we can turn our thoughts over to the universe and invite the truth about reality to take its place. We can drop our resistance and mental anguish and ask life to show us what we need to learn. We can surrender to life because we are the expression of life. We are part of this intricate ecosystem and it helps when we collaborate with this energetic force, rather than resist it.
Knowing this, I invite you to consider areas of your life that have not been going well lately. Putting the current pandemic aside, write a list of beliefs you hold about your problems or disappointments. For example, if it relates to a relationship, you might have a belief that your future partner should look a certain way, come from a certain background or ethnicity, have an education, etc. Examine if you are willing to give up your thoughts about it and ask the universe to show you what you really want in a relationship. Is it love, commitment, trust, honesty, kindness and compassion, etc.? If so, focus on the feelings that these qualities evoke within you. Imagine what this person would be like in real life. Paint a picture of yourself being with them and visualize it daily. Aligning with possibility, this relationship already exists, and it is a matter of calling it into existence. It requires being aligned with the emotional energy of your desires, to bring it into your reality. After all, life has more to offer when we broaden our awareness of what’s possible. When we open our minds and hearts to this creative intelligence, the very source of our supply will flow into our lives.
