One of the most fascinating aspects of our manifestation process,
Or creating a reality,
Is of course that the inner world attracts and reflects the outer world.
When I first came across creating a reality as a concept,
It explained so much and helped me understand my place in the world,
Leading to an ongoing journey of self-empowerment and compassion,
However back then my understanding of this vast concept was limited to,
Why am I attracting this?
This was largely due to my desire to create the perfected experience.
Over time I began to integrate the philosophies of unconditional acceptance,
Presence and other elements,
Which hugely changed my outlook.
I then began to understand it in different ways,
Leading to a huge realisation that not only am I attracting the experiences to my life,
But I am also attracted to them.
So the question becomes,
Why am I attracted to this situation?
First of all we may ask,
Why on earth would we create difficult,
Challenging situations?
It is very easy to slide into victim mentality when we approach our challenging situations.
I know this well.
I became a huge embodiment of victim consciousness during my own depression,
When I was going through it.
When we are in this state of consciousness,
We assume that something is happening to us and we have no other option than to blame our reality,
Experience or others.
One of the primary challenges to the belief that we create our reality is the idea of fault.
We may say,
Yes but this isn't my fault.
Whose fault is it?
It's no one's fault.
However,
Is it our responsibility?
Here we take responsibility for the experience itself and how we respond to it.
Then if we have the courage to examine not just why we created it,
Yet ask a deeper question of why we are attracted to it.
To own your reality is a challenging journey,
And when you do so you become liberated,
Free from the chains of disempowerment that dictate that you are powerless.
When we explore our reality using a different question,
We are presented with a different way of looking at our reality and empowerment.
So let us look at this question.
Why am I attracted to this situation?
This is for each individual to explore.
Yet time and again I have discovered the incredible treasure that lay beneath asking this question.
That attraction may indeed come from programming,
Belief structures,
Ideologies.
It may come from a personality matrix we have created that actually depends upon that limiting reality for many factors.
On one level perhaps,
When we feel sorry for ourselves,
Victimisation,
We misread this as self-love.
Or we receive sympathy from others,
Which we misread as receiving love.
Here we become reliant and dependent upon these forms of love,
Yet they can never compare to the sustaining force of genuine self-induced love.
Perhaps on another level it perpetuates a situation for us to play it small,
For fear of our own light,
Our own power.
By asking the question,
Why am I attracted to this situation,
There is a fundamental message being radiated out.
It says I own and accept that it is I that is not only creating it,
But attracted to it because of what is internal.
Compassion becomes an easy field to enter as we are owning our reality.
It is blame and victim mentality that are the antithesis of compassion.
Compassion unifies.
Compassion teaches.
Here begins our journey of falling in love with what is within.
Acceptance,
Healing,
Forgiveness,
Compassion.
What usually follows is that our attachments to that attraction dissolves.
We grow,
We shift,
We are now attracted to new experiences,
Situations and people.
Owning your power,
Owning your reality is to reclaim your power.
It is to seek all the areas where it has been given away.
Empowerment faces reality rather than escaping reality.
This is the key to maneuvering through the traps and pitfalls of resistance,
Which is about escaping reality.
There are desires that your soul wishes for that are beyond your current conscious understanding.
The soul works outside of time.
It is interested in growth and the multi-dimensional journey.
The soul knows where you can get to and how to get there.
Each experience awakens a new series of strengths,
Passions,
Insights,
Awareness and perceptions that completely shift the course of your path,
Especially if you choose to own the experience.
Ultimately,
We realize just why we would even wish to create difficult or challenging situations in our life.
When we own the experiences,
They always elevate us into realities of greater happiness,
Fulfillment,
Growth and expansion.
Blessings on your journey.
Namaste.
