The Past Doesn't Exist
This is a follow up to the last article: The Law of Attention…
A lot of people get caught up in the idea of their past thoughts and actions having a residual affect on how reality can appear RIGHT NOW or in the near future. Are you like that? One way to tell is if you keep playing with the same or similar appearances and circumstances… There’s your answer…
Energy isn’t residual. A metaphor that came to me this morning is comparing manifestation with sailing. When you’re sailing, you have to position the boat to capture the wind. By aligning the sails in the direction of the wind, you can use your free will to decide where you want to go (steering). If you release the tension in the sails, you aren’t any longer propelled.
Your attention is the sails that capture energy and allow you to become empowered in the direction that you’re focused. When you shift your attention, you also change the direction of what’s manifesting in your dream.
There is no residual propulsion keeping you locked in any particular manifestation, ever.
However, by judging your circumstances, you fool yourself into keeping your attention fixated; all the while believing you’re trying to manifest something else. This is one of the great illusions your identity-learned beliefs perpetrate in your dream. In other words, there aren’t any residual affects that your past thoughts and actions can have on your present experience. That is except for which you’ve given away your power and allow your attention to feel seduced by.
In truth, you don’t need to come to any resolution about the past to create any reflection of the present or future that you want. You must CHOOSE to become deliberate with your conscious-attention. You can’t tell stories about the past or judge your present circumstances. Well, you can, but that’s an immediate indication about where your attention is, RIGHT NOW! That means you shouldn’t be surprised by what gets reflected back to you.
It takes courage and even discipline to stop telling stories and keeping your conscious-attention joyously focused on the movie theater in your mind – playing the story of what you want. You’ll be tested constantly though, by still being faced with the internal resistance of your limiting beliefs and judgments constantly vying for your attention.
Everything is a reflection of your power. Don’t judge your power; appreciate the hell out of it. The more you can sincerely appreciate EVERYTHING you create, the easier it is to effortlessly shift what your experience is reflecting RIGHT NOW!
Remember, your attention is the sail that is harnessing the energy propelling you into where you’re becoming. Your words are a large part of your attention. If you’re telling stories about the past, you’re going in a direction that isn’t in harmony with what you really want. Change your story, even if it feels like a lie and you can shift the direction of your attention.
Change your attention; change your experience of reality.
There is no residual energy holding you in whatever experience you’re playing with RIGHT NOW… The past doesn’t exist.
Only you can CHOOSE where your attention is. It’s all your power.
It’s a beautiful day to go sailing, isn’t it?
