Outer Reality
as a Reflection of the Inner, CONSCIOUS Creation, Creating Money, Discernment
and Judgment, Decisions, Responsibility, and Absolute Freedom
The outer experience is simply a reflection
of the inner. The creative process unfolds continually, infinitely,
constantly. You cannot miss it. It's going to happen whether
you pay attention or not. So the question becomes: how do you create
the inner experience with the most harmony and ingredients of joy or the
ingredients you seek in the outer? The answer is, you train your
attention away from the outer long enough to perceive how the inner process
works. Once you have perceived how the inner process works, that
is, you have lined up the details of the inner mechanisms: thoughts, beliefs,
feelings, emotions, tendencies, influences, choices. Then you are free
to go back and watch the outer reflect the new understanding.
It is not that you live in life focused
only on the inner, you could do that without a life, or a physical manifestation
of life. The objective here is to live in life in the outer, from
the inner. Which, if you understand, you do every time you open
your eyes. All the sense perceptions you receive are your creation.
The more powerful your rational training, the more time it takes to get
this turned around correctly, unless you an use your rational training
to help you. The difference seems to be in the conundrum or paradox
of experiencing the outer physical reality as real while knowing it's
a creation of our inner being.
For example: This table we see
is real. Just as you and I are real. And if you attempt to
raise your leg through the table, you will encounter its reality.
And this is a place of confusion for many of you. But remember,
we are not asking you to deny what is, just to recognize its source.
This table is here with you precisely because you chose it to be.
And the further you go on this path of understanding, the more flexible
and fluid physical matter will become. But this is not a change
in physical matter. But a change in your ability to perceive and
focus.
The most difficult challenges come
when you confront those areas which you still regard as real and outside
of yourself. And this is why your particular challenge [creating
money] is such a worthy one for you because you have chosen the thing
within the culture that is seen as most real and most outside the self.
And in another way it is the most within your control because it is an
idea. You see this when you look at it from a global perspective
more clearly. Because the idea of money changes from culture to
culture. The actual physical representation looks different and
is different, and yet its cardinal truth remains the same. You could
say it is the physical representation of supply. But do not place
too much emphasis on the meaning or implication of what it represents.
It would be far better to reduce the contrast between money and all other
physical objects, including your body, the earth, sky, and understand
it as just another form of the camouflage. In this way you regain
your power returning the displaced power you put on the idea of money
and putting it back on the self where it belongs.
Now, as to these other events, they
are all unfolding perfectly and naturally according to your desires, thoughts
and motivations. Remember that all time is simultaneous, therefore,
others you have drawn into your life, to some degree have always been
there and always will be. Do not assume that you must create artificial
boundaries or separations between yourself and others. It is not
necessary. The natural order of events based on choices, when allowed
to move freely, is the best course of action. And again, as stated
earlier, recognizing the source of all the experience is from the inner,
dealing with those inner ideas. Conflicts, resolutions, restrictions,
ideas of limitation or less than perfection themselves bring forth or
create the experience of less than perfection. This applies to relationships,
supply, the physical body, all experience.
So by resolving your own internal
issues, you will resolve the experience. And by that I mean, the
outer experience will reflect the harmony you are seeking. So here is
the paradox. The conscious mind seeks inward for resolution of what
will outwardly be experienced by the conscious mind. It is not so
difficult to understand. But it is true that many beings on your
physical plane attach their identification so strongly to the conscious
mind and its habits and ways of thinking, and what could erroneously be
called "predispositions" that the beings themselves are unable to use
the conscious mind effectively. It is as if using the power of creation
to experience life you decide that a portion of your creation is in control
of the experience and you further decide that this portion that is in
control is fixed. Otherwise how could you possibly say "That's just
the way I am" or "It's my genetic heritage". Etc etc etc.
The evidence for the opposite truth
is all around you. For without absolute freedom none of you could
possibly change any of your circumstances. And the extent to which
you learn discernment and choice to replace limitation and restriction
and the extent to which you understand the power of the self in face of
all experience, there is no circumstance you cannot overcome. The foundation
of your being is built on this model. And everything, every evidence
to the contrary is in its simplest form, an opportunity to choose a new
perspective.
The further you progress down this
road, the more sustained joy you will experience, because sustained joy
is the natural response to choices made out of freedom. So. You
experience greater and greater periods of simple contentment. Less
and less of your time is spent in the old patterns of pointless mental
entanglement. This is because you have satisfactorily proven to
yourselves that at the very best mental entanglement is a waste of time,
and at the worst, it represents creative power ill used with unpleasant
and sometimes dire results.
The question of responsibility must
first be clarified so as to determine the application and definition of
the idea. You are responsible for your experience. This
is not a question, this is a simple statement of fact. How you feel about
this fact is another matter entirely. Whether or not you accept
it, and what you do about it, are also separate and distinct issues. But
your feelings, your acceptance or rejection, and your actions do not change
the nature of responsibility. You could say "Responsibility is"
just as "life is". Now as to your definition. "Able to respond"
This is based on outer perspective discernment of reality. The inner
perception would say "able to know, able to choose, able to create."
The outer perception definitions make a wrong presumption that you will
respond to a physical time and space experience generated from outside
yourself. The inner perception would say "you respond to your own
creation based on your choices, your desires, your beliefs, your goals
or chosen outcomes, and your comprehension about the nature of reality."
In other words, responding to an outer generated experience, seen as an
adversity is a completely different context and knowing than responding
to an innerly generated experience for which you know you made the choices.
When you know you created it, you ask very different questions of yourself,
which questions you do not have to ask if you assume it was created outside
yourself.
Further, when you know you have created
it, you know you can uncreate it, if that's your choice and create something
else. Think of it this way: There is a man standing under a shower.
When he turns the knob he experiences the water pouring full force down
on his head. Now this man believes he cannot breathe water and is fearful
of drowning. If he forgets that he turned on the water the issue is simply
to get out of the water, hoping it never happens again. If he knows
that he is in control of the faucet, then he might ask himself "What is
it about this fear I want to understand?" or even "Am I ready to deal
with this fear?" or he might decide he is not interested in experiencing
the fear and simply turn the water off and do something else. Notice
that the man who knows of his control of the faucet has more creative
options, while the man who does not has more limiting consequences.
For example: The shower will eventually overflow is the drain is
not open. Or perhaps the water will run out. These consequences
are seen as things that need to be dealt with, but from a place of powerlessness.
This is quite an impossible situation. And yet this is exactly how
so many of you define the world you live in every day. No wonder
you are depressed. No wonder the highest cause of disease is stress.
As you break through these barriers
and limiting beliefs, you will come upon centers of resistance within
the culture itself. These do not have to affect you. But you
will be aware of them. You will also come upon smaller versions
of these obstacles within yourselves. What happens to compassion in a
world where each person is responsible for their own lives? And
which is compassionate: allowing the consequences of ignoring the truth
about the power of your own creation in the lives of those around you,
trying to show them the power of their own creation, or, as in the example
of our man in the shower, reaching in and turning off the faucet for him?
One of the things you will discover is that there is no right answer.
For just as there is no one way to create, just as you are all individuals,
each with your own highly specific and chosen ideas to work out, so each
situation is individual, and so the spiritual principle "Judge Not, Lest
Ye Be Judged" takes on a completely different meaning.
Each of us, in each moment, in each
interaction, in each choice, using our own powers of discernment, from
our own point of power, to suit our own purposes. Absolute Freedom.
This is a foundation piece which is required on the path to total reorientation.
You have discovered the difference between the intellectual discussion
and the actual experience of this principle. Any who wish to learn,
or follow in this new path you cut, will need to use their OWN discernment
to do the same. And of course, you will have to remember and continue
to practice this experience. Expanding until you are able to experience
all experiences from this stand point. And at that place you will
know ease. You will also know Joy and Playfulness, in ways you are just
beginning to comprehend. So carry on down your bold path.
