Doubt and Confusion

It never came from within you.

It was imprinted there by outside influences.

When you can separate your own thoughts from those emotions which imprinted you, you can find your own direction and guidance and peace.

I can recognize confusion by my inability to act or by my reluctance to make a decision.

The old habits of being held back and my opinions ignored are being broken.

When I take the time to notice what is happening and give myself the room to consider what I would really like, I am able to make a decision and to take effective action.

I, too, have been blessed with a wonderful mind and great coordination and organization.

These dormant abilities are coming into a safe environment, and I can now express them.

The very best thing is that as I have listened within to find the things I really love to do, I am finding the support to do them.

Resources are coming together in a definite and certain way.

My connections are smooth and coordinated.

Each step flows smoothly into the next one.

I am happy each day as I consider the next step and see how it flows so naturally and gently into the next one.

My purpose is clear, and it is a happy one.

The life shrouded by doubt and confusion was never mine.

The old imprinting is being replaced with the delightful life of my choice.

I am fulfilled and happy, as is my right.

Cultivating Deep Peace

When I remember what I am really here for, I listen for a feeling of deep peace.

When everyone I know remembers what they are really here for, they listen for a feeling of deep peace.

When everyone I don’t even know all over the planet remembers what they are here for, they listen for feeling of deep peace.

———————
Today, I felt the familiar interference of confusion when I started working on a project.

I stopped and listened for the feeling to be put into words.

As I sensed the words behind the confusion, I realized it was a strong and repetitious memory of confusion when I was a child.

It was not my confusion, then or now.

It was someone else’s.

I realized that I am clear on my place and my role, but because this feeling was in my life from so young, I had never separated it out from myself.

Once I made the distinction, the confusion cleared up completely, and I was able to work steadily on my project with no interference.

The deep peace which I am finding in other areas of my life is mine.

My standard is deep peace.

Not confusion.

I know the difference and I can create what I want to feel.

Conscious Listening

Waking up in the night, I have learned to listen for the idea which I am to consider.

I may spend a couple of hours reflecting and meditating on what comes to me.

Sometimes I write down the reflection I have on the ideas.

Sometimes I am impelled to action, and I get up to work on or to finish a project.

The special quiet time allows me to listen and think with no distractions.

I can devote pure thought to the idea.

I can lay some issues to rest with concentrated thought and meditation.

If I reach an impasse, I can be satisfied to let it go for now.

If I reach resolution, I can be satisfied, too.

That deep listening time is precious.

I am grateful for the valuable work I can do during that time.

A Story That Works

One day as I was meditating, I realized that nothing I could do would change the story for someone else.

The story has to be changed by the person telling it.

If you are telling yourself a certain kind of story, your life will have a certain kind of path.

If you change the story, the path will change.

It is as simple as that.

Why you believe the story is not as simple.

But it can still be changed.

Decide on a direction you really want to go.

Don’t hold back.

Describe it in detail to yourself every time your think about it.

Think of all the reasons why you want it.

Embellish the picture.

Then when it is as full as you can make it, keep enjoying it.

When you hold to this consistent enjoyable  plan, you will start to see it take shape.

It is not something you do for yourself, although it is a gift you give yourself.

Keep doing your part and the Universe will do the rest.

Changing the Story

There may be several reasons why we believe a story.

If it is about us, it is the one we are willing to believe about ourselves and the people in our life.

When we create a happy life, we are telling ourselves one kind of story.

When our life is full of problems and challenges, we are telling ourselves another kind of story.

The story can be changed.

We are the person who can change it.

We can tell ourselves a story of hope and fulfillment and success.

We can tell ourselves a story of despair, insurmountable challenges and failure.

There is also a collective story that society tells itself.

Now that so many of us are getting tired of that story, it will be interesting to see how we change it.

We must be convinced that we want another story.

Then we must agree on what we want it to be.

Then we can create it for ourselves.

Perfect Fulfillment

From angles to flow.

That is the image that comes to my mind.

Instead of bouncing off angles, I find a strong and gentle flow carrying and supporting me.

I am connected to the best alternatives.

I am held by consummate knowledge and practices.

I am supported with  confidence and encouragement by the right motivations.

These goals go beyond myself.

They reach out to all who are in need.

The answers are always through honesty and generosity.

Long-term problems can be solved by looking at the deep origins.

Workable solutions address the deep origins and adjust the outcome.

Long-held wrong beliefs are corrected and different uplifting action results .

Resources come in different ways when the actual problem is addressed.

Flows are created where sharply angled walls once stood.

The first walls which have to come down are the ones we believe.

Then good, equitable, fair, right action can take place.

Seeing With an Expanded View

We are here to experience the things we see from our viewpoint.

We are then to improve upon them until we, and they, reach a state of joy, delight, harmony, beauty.

We reach that state by service.

We are to uplift through our perception and attitude.

When we are seen, it becomes a delivery of who we consciously are.

We are delivering our sense of the world and its possibilities.

We are foolish to be limited by what has already been and is considered common practice.

There is a way in which all things that are seen can be uplifted and improved.

The ways differ according to who is seeing them and the tools they are using to uplift the situation.

But they all have upliftment in common.

We move from our present sense of things to include more people in good, in harmony, in prosperity.

When we finally become unafraid to do this, unafraid that the limitations we see around us are the only view, then we become empowered to make the changes which uplift.

We are all empowered to do this in various ways.

We all come together at a certain time and in a certain way when the time is ripe.

We are seeing this now.

Enough people have had the kinds of experiences which compel them to share their new view with the kind of conviction to change our present course.
