" The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are. " - Rumi
It's interesting to see the progression of awakening within myself and others. It seems mostly we follow the same pattern. First, we wake up to the darkness outside, the corrupt governments, the murder of innocent people all over the globe for greed and sacrifice, the heartbreaking level of child abuse, toxic foods, chemtrails, and the matrix systems in place to enforce slavery and sickness. At the same time many start to awaken to their internal world, therefore gravitating towards new age teachings, which initially gives us that feeling of freedom. We live in a world of polarity, of light and dark, but that polarity also exists in the dark and the light. There can be great power in transforming the dark, and there can also be deep manipulation in the light. One of those manipulations is the "false white light" where the dark masquerades as light. An example would be the fast food ' McDonalds' version of spirituality and the pseudo positivity movement, which is moving at a rapid rate with mass numbers of people chasing the light.
No longer are shamans chosen by their community or priest and priestess initiated after years of study, practice and in-depth inner inquiry. Today the inquiry is via an online form and what traditional would have taken several years is now completed in two weeks or via an online course. I'm not criticising these movements I'm questioning how what has taken the philosophers and shamans of the past a lifetime, is now available to everyone at the click of a button. I also encourage anyone reading this to ask questions, what I've witnessed in the new age movement is when someone asks a question it is deemed as ‘fear mongering,' or you have ‘dark energy.' That's not freedom that's dumbing down a critical mind into a docile sheep.
I'm the first to admit and hold my hands up I fell for all these quick fixes, I followed gurus who could take my karma away, I created countless vision boards and followed Abraham Hicks teaching as if they were delivered straight from God. Why? Because underlying beneath the surface and the mask I presented to the world, I still didnt feel enough.
DESIRE Vs. BELIEF
Ok, so this leads me to why the law of attraction is only a half-truth and how the universal keys to creating the reality you deserve are inside. The oversimplified version of the law of attraction which programs such as the ‘Secret' are pushing, is based solely on manifesting from your desires. What is a desire; a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen. The masses are now programmed by the ‘Secret' programming to crave all this ‘stuff.' Flash cars, cheques through the post, miracle healing and what most of it is, as the dictionary definition applies ‘wishing,' wishful thinking taking us away from what is really happening in our lives, in the present moment! It's like a fancy and exceptionally well marketed spiritual plaster. Which is derived via people who, again, are well marketed and polished individuals who are few and far between. Now I'm not dream stealing. I have a deep knowing that we can create our own reality and we can create what we "truly desire', however first the inner work must be done. Ok so here's a little picture I made, because I'm dyslexic and I like images.
So the little fella in the picture consciously thought that he wanted to be rich and that would attract his ideal partner. Tom went to all the seminars, workshops and retreats of all his favorite manifesting guru's. Initially, after going to these events Tom would be super motivated and high. However, this would quickly wear off, and he'd find himself back to where he was desperately seeking. Eventually, the seminar junkie realised that some inner work was needed. The example of Tom is a reflection of my own life. I studied Business at university and had this societal conditioned belief that money and material stuff was my measure of success. However, this wasn't just out of alignment with my beliefs it was also profoundly out of alignment with my soul purpose. THE TRUE SELF DESIRE. So the new age/new cage and false positivity agenda are pushing a program of false narcissist choices. Its a program creating carbon AI which merely is here to consume stuff. That's not a soul desire that's social conditioning. Pushing people into a new world order via a fluffy belief system merged with truth and lies, so it causes confusion in the person. I can only speak from my own experience and with others that I've worked with when true inner work is done, and awareness is brought to our shadow side, we can start to become true creators of our reality. Not one that has an agenda but a reality that is in service to others while sharing your passion with the world.
HERES A FEW THINGS I DO WITH MYSELF AND CLIENTS TO HELP BECOME A TRUE CREATOR:
We have desires we are human, we also have beliefs which aren't always positive. Write down your desires (keep this fluid, as they can change, as you shift internally) Write down your real beliefs around what you trying to manifest (these are the little voices that tell you all the reasons, why you can't do something). To do this find some quiet time and do some inner inquiry.
Now write from the beliefs, hear them out, let them be witnessed, and work with them. Don't bypass them work with them to make them into their best versions. Visualise it like being a great CEO to your inner world. Great leaders empower others to be great leaders this is what you'll create in your inner kingdom.
Go back to the desires and mediate. Do you really still desire what you originally began with? Remember TOM?
Ok, so your inner world is aligned. Now its time to work as a team to create your reality by daily inspired action. Just take the next action and the next action and keep building.
Don't forget there is a Universal force working with you, so along with inspired action have faith and trust in your own merit.
I hope you've found some gems in here. I'll leave you with this little story…
One day the sages were discussing the secret of life and where they should hide so that men and women could not find it. Bury it under a mountain, one sage suggests. No, the others counter, they will find a way to dig up the mountain and uncover it.
Put the secret of life in the depths of the deepest ocean, another sage suggests. No, the others say, one day they will find a way to travel to the depths of the ocean and will find it there.
Put the secret inside them, suggests another, they will never think to look for it there. All the sages agreed, and so the secret of life was hidden within us. Be
More, Be Excellent, Be You

So well put! Indeed the truth is in us we are the only one that can control our destiny. Not being religious but the bible says god in in every one of you (or something like that) and this is true we are all our own god. Not enough people realise this!
Since I started thinking this way my life has improved no end. But I have recently forgotten this and things happened I didn't like thankfully they are back on track and this reminder means I remember I control them so they will work out perfect Brilliant thank you so much 💯🐒
Thank you for your comment. I'm not religious but the bible does have a lot of truth within it.
Glad to read that you got back on track. We really are the creators :)
For sure we are 💯🐒
