A New Relationship With Physical Reality
By Kristen N. Fox
When we identified ourselves
solely as physical creatures, we thought physical reality was all there
was. We experienced the boundaries of our world with our physical
senses. Now that we are expanding beyond that previous definition
of who we are, we have to release the old relationship we had with physical
reality and forge a new one under new circumstances, and a new role for
ourselves as well. Why? Let's say you have a well-balanced
arrangement of three works of art on the wall and you create a fourth
piece to hang with the other three. If you just tack that fourth piece
up wherever there's room, leaving the previous three untouched, the arrangement
will be out of balance - you have to place all FOUR works of art in an
entirely new pattern in relation to each other in order to achieve the
desired sense of symmetry and aesthetics. Our new "work of art"
in this metaphor is knowing that we create our own realities, that we
are far MORE than just separate, physical creatures. In our new
roles as conscious creators, we take a step back from our exclusive focus
on the details of physical life and open to a wider perspective.
I actually started to
use a version of this "new relationship with physical details" as a survival
method when I was working as a technical writer. At my job, there
were so many details coming in from so many different people that I would
have driven myself crazy trying to remember each one, even when they were
written down. Instead, I created a folder for each kind of change
and simply filed the detail where it belonged, and then I could
access it when I wanted to. I remembered the idea of where the detail
was or what it dealt with without having to remember the detail itself.
Our new relationship with
physical reality follows this same idea. If we continued to focus
all of our energy into controlling or even remembering ALL of the details
in our physical lives as our awareness expanded, we'd grow increasingly
crazy trying to react to this, prevent that, or coerce something else
so that all the details would "look like they were supposed to."
Instead, as I did as a technical writer, we can take a huge step back
from the detail level and began to focus our energy more on the conceptual.
Once I did this in my
technical writing job, the details automatically flowed into the right
places at the right time, effortlessly. In my physical experiences,
as in my job, instead of focusing on the details, I now focus on the idea
of what I want to experience in physical reality and allow the details
to move around freely. When they reach the configuration aligned
with my desired probability, my inner guidance tells me, "Okay, NOW!"
usually with a feeling of KNOWING. The most challenging part, for
me, was to learn to allow even those details that did not SEEM to be aligned
with what I wanted, to exist anyway. I didn't have to get rid of
or even change those "undesired" details. Actually, changing my
focus from my desired experiences to struggling with the details that
already exist in physical reality would have simply given me more details
to struggle with, since the fundamental idea behind conscious creation
is that you get what you focus on.
It took a few reminders
before I was consistent with not getting caught up in the dramas and bells
and whistles and shiny baubles that dazzle the senses and have tended
to distract my focus as well. Now, I wasn't simply IGNORING all
of these sense perceptions, as they are part of the fun of physical reality,
but I was learning to enjoy them without having to concentrate ALL of
my focus on them alone. As conscious creators, our new relationship with
physical reality includes an expanded awareness, expanded beyond the physical
yet including it at the same time. In many ways it's like doing
or focusing on more than one thing at a time, physical and non-physical
all at once - a wonderful new balancing act.
Another way to look at
this "step back into the conceptual" is similar to being able to look
at an entire lake while standing on shore instead of trying to see the
whole thing while treading water in the middle of it. Now, while we have
the perspective of being IN the lake, if we think the waves are too choppy,
trying to restrain the waves with our hands not only doesn't work, but
will merely exhaust us. Instead, we conceptually step out of the
lake EVEN WHILE WE'RE STILL SWIMMING
IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, direct our creative focus towards experiencing a
lake with gentle waves. Then, we allow the feeling tone of this
conceptual probability to flow through us, allow the details in physical
reality to align with our vision and vibration, and then enjoy experiencing
our creation in physical reality!
This new relationship
puts each of us in the center of our own lives as the creator, in our
natural state of love, joy, and abundance. As it stands now, many
of us still experience struggle in some parts of our lives. Most
of the "hard work" we expend trying to make physical reality the way we
want it is an overcompensation for "limited" beliefs in the first place.
For instance, the more we believe in lack, the more it seems we must struggle
in physical reality to have what we want. Our new relationship gives
us a way to let go of our struggles to control
or manipulate the physical effects of our beliefs. Instead we look
inside for the originating beliefs (focus) themselves, release them, and
then choose new beliefs that will simply create what we want in physical
reality, without the struggle.
In other words, as conscious
creators, we are the cause, and our experiences in physical reality are
the effect - what an amazing new relationship this will be!
