Well wherever you find yourself right now - there you are. Accept it - for me that comes as easily as "Silly me, look what I've created this time!" Oops!!!
then I turn my attention & focus on what I want - once I turn from it, it is gone. Sure it may still be hanging out in my physical awareness temporarily, but its on its way outtahere! But, and here is the kicker, everytime you turn around to sneak a peak and check to see if its still there...., you recreate it - YOU perpetuate because you can't let go of it. Just like the biblical story of Lot & his family, they are told not to look back!!! but the wife just can't move forward, just can't help herself - and bang she's a pillar of salt!
lol - think about that.

Sometimes the kid sells it and pays the electric bill.
Many years go by. One day the kid realizes nobody wants to talk to her anymore because she's been taking all their stuff. Everybody's ornery, or mad. The kid says, well heck. This is all I ever knew, was how to take stuff. I guess I had weird ideas about stuff. Plus I also always really believed one day something would magically happen or else I would figure out what to do in order to pay the electric bill my own self.
So the kid does a lot of reading and spends nearly a year doing all these intentional manifestation rituals and law of attraction practice and working on changing beliefs and finding limiting ideas, and so on. And at the end of this year, the people still want their stuff back and the people are still ornery, and even worse, the cops are in the driveway because once upon a time the kid stole a bicycle from outside a convenience store and sold it to pay the electric bill, and the police just discovered this action was videotaped. |
that was a lot to follow. if you've changed your beliefs then the situation would change - what's OUT THERE is merely a reflection - so if you see X, Y, or Z out there, cops at the door, the bank foreclosing on the house - whatever, then you still have some inner work to do.
