It’s easy to blame karma when something goes wrong, but there are laws inherent in the universe waiting on us to unlock the proper way to apply them in life. Karma is just part of the cause and effect of being here.
The first step is to activate self-responsibility in the sense that maybe it’s not karma in the blame-it away excuse way, maybe what happened is a consequence of our choices, actions, habits, conditioning and beliefs.
The blame game rules the world:
- It’s the fault of the elite
- It’s karma’s fault
- It’s childhood trauma
- It’s what was done to me
- It’s they, it’s always they
And what if it is not any of that? What if it’s all on YOU. What if everything has an element of consent and agreement? Are you ready to look in that mirror? Are you ready to manifest a greater life by re-writing and re-wiring a new story?
The fact is, our external world reflects our internal one and it’s when we can stop judging it that we can start changing it. Observe with brutal honesty that maybe you aren’t where you want to be physically, emotionally, intellectually or spiritually and then in that observation recognize it is the awareness you are willing to look at where change can begin to happen.
Our discernment is clouded by habitual ways of thinking, by limiting beliefs, by conditioned responses, patterns or coping mechanisms.
Are you taking time to examine when things don’t go as planned what your part was in the process or are you just blaming something in the outer world over and over?
Are you aware of how the phrases or words you use regularly are keeping you in victimhood or stalling your growth? You are casting spells whether you believe it or not, so are you cursing yourself or creating a new thought to replace the one stuck in the spin-cycle?
The limiting beliefs we hold onto cause distortion in the field of manifestation which is why many things we desire or think we’re manifesting turn out slightly different than we imagined, or not at all. When something doesn’t go as planned, it’s really just feedback, but it’s what you do with that feedback that keeps it from returning. The Divine dance between getting what you want and what you need becomes tighter, narrower, more probable, with every opportunity to strengthen self-awareness, discernment and clarity.
Along the way obstacles will arise and our natural tendency is to avoid them, figure out the path of least resistance, find the way around them, yet the fastest path is through it. By detouring you add more linear time, but by facing it, resistance can melt, core beliefs can change, and time feels like it speeds up or collapses.
There is much we don't need in life that we create beliefs around to tell ourselves we do as a justification for things not being like we want and we’re all are guilty. On the way to really shedding stories in the unlearning, re-programming process there is ever-present opportunity to just-keep-going!
You see, if you know you have something that needs to change and you only work on removing it, de-programming, un-learning, shifting, but you have no clarity about what you want instead, the old keeps creeping back into play. The conditioned reactive tendencies overshadow instead of responding to the external from the internal clarity and knowing. This is why many actually ignore the intuition because it doesn’t want you doing what is easy, it wants you to grow, to do the hard fucking things so it doesn’t have to yell…do it!
In the manifestation process your internal state must change for the Universe is not a wish fulfillment factory, it’s an energetic field aligning you with the frequency you are emitting. Let the mirrors of life, from others, not only show you what is working well, what you have figured out but also what slowing or blocking the signal.
And don’t get me wrong, I am not a new-ager who discounts the co-creative collective reality that does bring challenges, harm and victimized experiences into our reality, but I do believe we have the power to alchemize and learn from these experiences. It’s not always easy, it can be very hard and lonely, never ignore the emotions that arise or pretend everything is ok when it’s not, yet do not fall into the trap that everything is solely one sided.
That being said this piece is about what is in our own control in how we show up and create ripples back out into the whole.
In order to move a vision into reality there are certain steps that must be in place.
1) VISION: What we visualize affects the world we live in, see and experience. Without taking time to get really clear, to imagine, to play, to contemplate, to dream, we create more of the same, becoming bystanders in our own life instead of the author. The vision must hold not only clarity, but texture, sensory input, feeling. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but the black and white world we live in doesn’t always want us to see inside the spectrum of color, the rainbow of possibilities. It is up to us to invigorate, enliven and activate our story and bring it to life.
2) PASSION: Once you are clear on your vision it is a necessity to bring passion into it for it is the feeling, the emotion (energy in motion) and the intensity of such that is the fuel to draw to you that with what you seek. If the passion isn’t authentic, that Divine alignment and connection of devotion, of drive, of excitement, then there is something to go back to step one and find more clarity within the vision. You see often we think we want something in the material world such a money, but we fail to see the riches already ever-present in our life in a multitude of ways beyond currency and it is in bringing this into the Current-SEE/SEA of energy and finding the why that things can being to flow. There is always a deeper why, do you want freedom, experiences, love, what are you really trying to get to?
3) ACTION: Now that you have a vision fueled by aligned passion the process of moving energy with attention comes into focus. As the saying goes, where attention goes, energy flows. Are you so clear on the path you are headed that you are saying NO to all that no longer serves you, to that which impedes the growth? Are you willing to sacrifice by committing to the process of letting go what, and WHO, no longer serves you…. even the things or people you love that were part of the old life you were living, even the comfort and habits that got you to where you are right now? How committed and focused are you to your dreams and the co-creative process?
4) FAITH: The first 3 steps require work and action, shifting stale patterns, creating new beliefs, aligning the internal state with your vision, goals and dreams. While taking action, while being fully committed with no plan B, there is this sweet spot that must also take place, the process of non-attachment. This is about being in presence, knowing that everything is as it should be right now, that the faith all will work out by your own hands AND the Divine plan already exists in this very moment because the future version of you is already there waiting for you to meet you. Breathe in and breathe out the kNOWing, the now moment, and be in gratitude for the breath and beauty of life. This is the magic, the trust in the unseen, the liminal space swirling all around to assist you in making your inner-state transformed into an outer experience.
Aligning your vision, goals and dreams with intention, focus, clarity, action, awareness, commitment, all within a state of letting go and trusting the Divinity of being is a recipe for authoring your life in your way.
You can transform your core beliefs and begin to live a potent, passionate, powerful life right now, today. Allow your emotions to become under the influence of your intention and clarity, moving the passion in the direction of the life waiting for you.
You can say it’s Karma’s fault, you can blame everyone and everything, you can keep being distracted by people, groups, beliefs, habits, social media, whatever it is, or you can start saying no to everything that does not align with your path and yes to what, and who, does.
The feeling is only part of the secret to stepping into a new frequency, as you can’t be rich if you aren’t tapped into the exquisite richness of being alive in a sensual vessel inviting you to deepen your senses, find the beauty around you and bask in the everlasting possibilities available to you through the imagination in this very moment. If you can imagine it, it’s possible because if it’s coming into your consciousness there is a reason why…but if you dono’t “practice” activating your imaginative state and looking for that feedback daily, it is easy to “fall back” into the same patterns.
For example, if you want more money but you don’t want to invest in yourself be it your time, inner work, knowledge, etc. then do you really want more money or something else? If you want more money but don’t ever “give,” do you really want it, or something else? If you want more money, but you can’t imagine spending a certain amount on something that seems frivolous or on an experience that will let you taste a new life experience, then do you really want it, or are you just telling yourself that it would be nice?
There is a responsibility that comes with the up-leveling, a humbling, a deepened appreciation for ALL experiences and what they teach us. Be not clouded in thinking getting what you want will fix your problems, because it won’t, only you can do that by truly aligning the inner and outer, as above, so below and showing up for you every day, the good-bad-ugly-beautiful. The more you zone in on the why, the what, and the feeling, the more things will show up in your life that align with the next best version of you, doorways waiting on you to open them and act on them, magical pathways into unknown territory and new adventures.
Whether it’s journaling, meditation, ritual or simply using the relaxed brain wave state upon awakening, you can day by day, move more into the path that lights you up, brings you passion and joy, invites in devotion to the Divinity of living, to finding beauty and purpose in the simple mundane things of daily life, to appreciating all that already is while also manifesting a new reality.
If it was easy everyone would do it, but it’s not, it’s uncomfortable and looking at things we don’t want to look at is the obstacle where treasures wait to be dug up.
Everything that happens to us gives us an opportunity to awaken another part of ourselves, see how far we’ve grown in another, learn a lesson, find a blessing, grow up, mature, and figure out what we DO want. The circumstances are always there to help us return to our inner knowing and connection to Source.
What if it’s not karma but consequences?
What if it’s not happened yet because you weren’t clear enough?
What if it’s already right under your nose but you can’t see it?
What if what you thought you wanted was really what others projected onto you?
What if everything is perfect as it should be right now?
What if you don’t want what you thought you did?
What if?
Play in possibilities, joy, grace and gratitude, welcome in the love of life as it is now, and for goodness sake, get your pen out and start authoring life on your terms.
Remember, everything has consequence, cause and effect, and maybe, just maybe, what you really want to manifest is more love, more freedom, more disicpline, more integrity, more showing up for yourself and those around you and this all starts with being the very thing you want to receive, with giving what you want to get, with finding within you what really matters before wishing for something to turn into matter…before wishing something into reality that was nothing but a fleeting thought passing by that was never for you, unrooted, or lost in the potential that others could see in you but you couldn’t see in yourself….now go beloved soul into the wilderness and make it so, trust that you’ve got this that you are supported.
