POWER OF DECISION

The major difference between mankind and the animal kingdom is free will or volition.

Instead of asking “Why did this happen to me?” we should ask, “Why did this happen for me?”

The only creative process there has ever been, is now, or evermore shall be is thinking.

I find it very interesting as I reflect on these three statements, how many people don’t really understand how they create their life experience. For the most part, humanity actually does function more like animals because they don’t understand how their mind functions.

Everything in our life experience is created by our mind. However, most people don’t understand how the mind works and how it creates. When you are not balanced, then you are not able to make choices or to exercise your free will. You are not able to think clearly and make decisions that will create your life experience. Therefore, you are left with a life by default, driven by past experiences and current challenges, versus freely choosing the life you desire.

When someone does gain an understanding of how the mind creates, then looking at the challenges that come our way, actually allows us to Self Teach, and to grow from each experience. Those things that happen “for us” are actually generated by the part of our mind, which is out of balance. There is a direct relationship between the nature and intensity of what is out of balance in our mind, with the external experience we have created before us.

It’s fascinating once you begin to see and understand the pattern of how the mind creates. All the teachings and philosophies that you have learned all of sudden can be applied versus just learned. That not only applies to the spiritual philosophies, it also applies to any type of training related to career and personal growth as well. As we understand the pattern of the mind and the laws from which decisions are made, we are then able to ensure that we are using the laws that will create the life experience we desire and that we do so from a balanced perspective.

BALANCE

As the physical world changes, we will change with it. It's always the balance between our perception of the energetic and the physical that is important. When our perception of things gets out of balance is when we may have difficulty maintaining our desired vibration. That's why I always find it helpful to look at things from an energetic perspective and a physical world perspective simultaneously and look for the perception which allows me to maintain my desired vibration. As the physical world changes, then my actions will remain vibrationally balanced.

As long as we are in a physical world experience, then I'm not sure the aspects of perception and perspective will ever go away. That is what brings the richness to our experience. Feeling that we need to do what is "right" implies that there is right or wrong. In the physical world "right" is relative to a perspective and other energetic entities may have different perspectives and different relative ideas of "right". The harmony in the world will come from understanding and honoring the multiplicity of consciousness, relaxing judgement on others and ourselves, and allowing the multiple perspectives to all have equal weight, and most importantly being sure to honor and respect our own perspective.

BEAUTY

We know that to create in an easy and effortless way, we as individuals need to be in balance.

We need balance to walk a life in alignment. As we talk about and try to understand what balance is, we can say that balance equals beauty.

So then what is beauty? This definition says it all.

beau·ty [byoo-tee] noun, plural -ties.
1. the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).

As with tires on a car, we first balance the individual tire, then, after we put the tires on the car, we align the car and the tires so that the car rolls easily and effortlessly. That is how it is with life. We must first balance our self, then, look to align ourselves with other people and things in our life so that we find beauty (balance) in all that we do.

Everything we experience is a reflection of our mind. Our definition of beauty is relative to our mind, and therefore individualized to each of us differently. Balance is different for every person based on who they are, their true self, and based on their circumstances…what things around them are they are trying to align.

We know we are not in balance if we are not producing the results we want in the physical world and/or we are not achieving the feeling we want to be having in our life experience.
