I received this email message and I would like to comment on some of the ideas contained within.The message is in italics my thoughts are not. The idea of the universe watching us and helping shape our lives is from Dr. Mohsen Kermanshahi work on universal theory and you can go to the link to read more about this interesting idea.
Having the courage and patience to put out the vibrations of what you desire as to opposed to where you are in the present, is the hardest thing you will ever have to do. Keep in mind WHERE you are and WHO you are in your life right now is based on your past intentions, thoughts, feeling and actions. Choice Theory says that you can change your future by changing your current thoughts, feelings and actions.
The idea that who we are currently is a result of past thoughts, intentions, feelings and actions is interesting but not realistic. The idea that we can control our future by changing our thoughts, feelings, in my mind puts way too much influence on the role of the individual and does not take into account societal influences. Our actions can help determine some parts of our future if other influences are on our side as well.
Remember that your current life situation is nothing more than the outcome of past thoughts, feelings and actions. They have nothing to do with what you are capable of or who you are capable of becoming unless you continue to make decisions based on those results. If you do, you will continue to create the same things over and over again in your life.
Here is an interesting way of looking at your life. If you look at your current results, you can see what you have been up to for the past five years or so. What you have been thinking, feeling and acting upon is reflected in your current results. Look at your body, your bank account, your house, your car, your relationships, your job or lack thereof and what vibrations you have been offering, because your results are nothing more than a feedback mechanism - a mirror of what you have been thinking, feeling and acting.
Think about a mirror for a moment. A mirror does not judge, it does not say if something is "good" or "bad", "right" or "wrong". It does not edit or delete. A mirror just reflects back whatever is put in front of it. Do you follow this metaphor?
The universal mirror is exciting because when you get what you desire you know you are on your game. When you have less than pleasing results, that's just the universal mirror reflecting back to you where you have the opportunity to adjust your thinking, feeling and actions. Getting upset because you have messed up your life in any area is wasting precious time. The mirror is there to give you a wake-up call. It is saying "Hey, you're broke. Are you ready to do something about it?"
Seeing the universe as a mirror that reflects back at us what we are doing, is combining the idea of individual responsibility and a higher power that will sweep us up to success if we think right, act right, and do right. The question that springs to my mind is what is right or correct thinking in this universal flow or do we have the ability to influence our reality. Dr.Kermanshahi defined Reality as follows: Reality is what we sense and beyond plus what we feel and beyond, so some of his followers have taken this to mean that we can shape reality. Perhaps we can, but this means we can only shape our own reality, not the reality experienced by others.
Do I get upset when I experience less than pleasing results? Absolutely. But the difference between now and my past is I am willing to let it go. I use the experience as a wake-up call to find a better way. And I always find a better way, because I am looking for it. You can do the same.
Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.
I agree that one should be aware and if the results you want are not what you get, then perhaps you need to look for a better way to do but that you will not be automatically placed in the flow of the universe. Life opportunities are all around us, but many of us do not have the ability to see these opportunities, because of the paradigm in which we live our life's. It is not easy to change that paradigm, it is hard work and will take a long time and without help some of us will not change. But that may be a good thing.
This concept that life mirrors thought is always intriguing and has been said in many different ways on several different levels throughout the ages from current quantum physics to Abraham Lincoln’s: “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Lincoln also said, “All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.” If this theory is to be believed, his untimely death was a result of the thistle he could not pluck. The theory is intriguing but I agree that societal, and as yet unknown, influences could also play a role. I enjoyed reading your interesting post!
