The Power to Change

There are good reasons to fear. Or are there? Our patterning is to experience something, and then decide that our reaction to that experience bespeaks all truth, forever and ever. We do something and it works well and that's it, forever and ever, Amen? Our power to change lies not in understanding the experience, or even our immediate reaction to the experience, the power to change lies in understanding the subsequent truth we create for ourselves around it.

This is the fear-building methodology of modern action. I can't even say thinking, because it's usually so unconscious, it's really a patterning of action that we have, but this is how our fears are born and nurtured. This is how fear grows to become the foundation of our lives rather than love. "I was hurt in a relationship, so after we broke up, I stayed alone and did things myself, and I didn't get hurt. Being alone is better, safer, less hurtful than being in a relationship."

But that's not true, is it? Being alone is lonely and hurtful in and of itself. The illusion of the safety in being alone is only thinly veiled. However, learning more about our own personal needs within a relationship, and learning to communicate better and more clearly are a different way to reduce the chance of being hurt in a relationship.

It's a choice - we can choose to become reclusive, or to develop ourselves to higher levels of sensitivity, awareness and consciousness. This is the power that each of has within ourselves; we begin to shift our vibrational frequency to be more in alignment with what we want and we begin to be able to change things. Life starts becoming what we want it to be.

The possibilities are endless.

Blessings.
