What We Do For Ourselves and How We Can Be Even Better 3/28/11

How about the first time you found yourself in the middle of a storm? Yes, a storm. Well, when you find yourself in the eye of a storm it is very quiet and peaceful. The winds have died down and all the tumult has subsided — for the moment. Then, the winds pick up and you find yourself again faced with fury, anguish, longing, desirous lust and all the things that brought you to this stormy place. I say that you created your storm and that the storm didn’t just happen to fly in by you.

It’s here I’d like to challenge your beliefs. It is here I would like to offer my take on storms and their manufacturing. If we look off in the distance, can we sometimes see a spectacle taking place? I mean spectacles such as yourself in the midst of a longstanding argument with another, or a rift between you and another, or even a misunderstanding that occurred. Well, if you can envision a far off problem on the horizon, then we have set the stage.

Now, we come to storm creation. What does this entail and how does one get to manufacture one such storm? I will tell you that the storms that are generated are generated by you and that you see all that comes with the package: manipulation of the truth, electing to ignore options that will quell or abate its movement in any direction, the belief that a little bit of drama can’t hurt, the notion that all people have problems, the desire to hurt or anger another, the issue that some folks just don’t get it, the release of frustration by being cantakerous and allowing the brewing of the problem to play itself out for purposes that fulfull desires to hurt or destroy others, and the wish for everything to disappear so as it never happened in the first place.

I say all these possibilities for you to look deep inside yourself and envision just how you might create storm activity for yourself. I am not suggesting you do these things. And if you do do these things, I am not suggesting you utilize all of these methods of storm manufacturing. What I will say is that I believe that many of you have feelings of sadness inside and this sadness can make one imbalanced, veering off course.

Veering off course is what is to be addressed now. Shall we look at that? If you have ever been on a boat, you will know what it feels like to sail smoothly across the water. To veer off course is to go against what you are supposed to be doing, which is remaining in direct alignment with your purpose — your desire to be balanced and determined, despite what is happening around you. For those of you who wish to be in imbalance, this talk will not serve you. For you see, you enjoy stormy days and nights; they rile you, yet you fancy them, too.

If I were to take a guess as to how many times a person has chosen to listen to another for guidance instead of listening to their own internal guidance system, I would tell you that the number of individuals participating in this game of mind-tricks is astounding. You will see that you actually are able to move through storm manufacturing with others’ assistance. Yes, others can join you on the production line.

We see another variable here — the use of “anonymous donors.” What is meant by anonymous donors? Those who put in their two cents, but really haven’t been asked for help by the original “stormer.” We see donors everywhere. They come in the form of homemakers, giants in business, “looking glass experts” (you know — the ones who can see right through you), “triple fudge sundae experts” (the ones who offer “fatty” information, yet it doesn’t stick), and the “revelers” (the ones who cheer you on as you go upstream, sideways, or due North when South was your destination). I share these anonymous donor examples so you can see that you often bring in extra material to pad your pockets with more than what you were originally carrying. Thsi is not for me to say that what you bring into your life is bad or destructive. What I am saying is that instead of minimizing, refuting, or turning a situation around, you move it further to a place where it cannot be so easily rectified.

It is here that I will talk about your habits. The habits might include talking too much about it, generating steam by thinking too much about it, taking too much time in your day to replay it over and over again til you are blue, or making peace with it by ignoring it. These are common habits of the “stormer.” Do you see yourself here? If you do, then you are learning how you generate storms for yourself.

It is easy to forget, minimize, rationalize or just plain imagine that something else really occurred instead. Yes. It’s easier to do just that. Why? Because so many do not wish to feel discomfort. Why feel it? Because, as I shared in “How To Cure,” one must walk through fire in order to come out unharmed and more learned. One must consider choosing to feel pain in order to grow and shift and change and expand.

So, you have a choice. Do you engage all of these factors that contribute to storm building, or do you consider what is before you and address it head on? I say head on is the way to approach everything you do. For when you see what is before you, you can make decisions that are real and genuine and smart and just and everything that would help keep you in a place of balance and alignment. You see, you are really the only one who drives the ship, the vessel on the water course. You’re the one who gets to decide everything from water management to barnacle cleanup to hull washing. It’s you who gets to man/woman the boat and steer it in the direction of Higher Truth and Highest Goodness for your Self. When you choose to look at a problem head on, you will be able to make clear decisions that lead to happier outcomes. I say this so you might consider a brighter, more simple method to your daily managing of affairs.

“How simple,” you wryly respond. I answer you, “It is simple if you say it is, visualize a happier outcome, and believe that what you are envisioning came true for you. (These are the Laws of Creating Reality, which I discussed in “How One Can Manifest Their Healing.” When you apply those principles, you will be able to create happier outcomes as compared to when you engage negative factors that impede positive outcomes from manifesting.

We feel this is the time to stop as you can see how one is clearly able to produce more havoc than when they first started out on their daily journeying. We also see you have learned a bit regarding “How To Create The Perfect Storm.” It is for each of you to decide how you would like to ride out your problems: stormy or on due course — for Home.
