Where do you all perceive the power lies?

[nicbrahms]

Okay I have noticed of myself that I have been thinking the power of reality creation lies in me sometimes, in my expanded self mostly and sometimes with God.

Yes Yes I know it is all me, or all one. However, are any of you finding it hard to reconcile the notion that the power is all yours especially when you don't have the awareness of your expanded self or God?

Don't you get sick of being told you are creating your reality, however, it never comes when you want or how you want and there always seems to be some process involved?

I want to say it as it is, I am here in this body with this limited awareness and I have to defer to my expanded me to make things happen and leave timing to expanded me also.

I am tired of trying to be more than I am, claiming powers that I don't have awareness of.

So when the shite hits I would always think expanded me obviously knows what it is doing to do this. So I would always defer to my expanded self or God.

This to me seemed to be a cop out and or giving my power away.

So the other morning I awoke feeling different and I suddenly started claiming power back from various things and for the first time I felt entitled to call all of reality creation as being under my control. This feeling has persisted and it is different to the way I was feeling before.

I actually feel better, more bolshie, more 'I call the flippin shots'.

I wanted to glean everyone else's thoughts on this subject. So post away.

Couple of things spring to mind:

You clearly distinguish a separation between yourself and who you could be (the "limited" you vs. the "expanded" you). When you resolve the issues that create that separation, you'll be more powerful.

The definition of power denotes the "ability to act." Believing in your own power isn't going to create more power in your life, it's only giving you the fuel and inspiration through which to exercise your power. Thus, you will be become more powerful as you become more willing to act.

The OP raises some good questions. My only one question I'd really ask is regarding your belief system.

That question would be...

"What assumptions have you made?"

By assumptions I mean things that have lead to your belief system which have not been verified by "Evidence" (Your definition of evidence)

[cylon]

I think ego/personality loves to call shots. There is an emotional rush you get from it. It feels great. And I think there's definitely a place for it.

But I think that place is in short bursts in order to push past self-limitiations and comfort zones, and once you push through, it's better to step back again.

You can't sustain the self-focused determination, "I'M IN CHARGE HERE, BUDDY!" mode for too long because that is exhausting over time. And why is it exhausting? Because it's trying to make it appear that your creations, and your decision to create, and the means of your creation, are all separate when in fact it's all just one big "it".

There is a huge source/flow of creation and positive feelings and beauty, all flowing THROUGH you, yet when you say "It's me! I did this! I did that!" it's like putting a tight grip around that flow of energy and cutting it off. Once you separate yourself from it, you've declared that it doesn't exist on its own. And it stops "working".

But ego and wanting to be in charge isn't likely to go away (and I don't see why it should) so there has to be a way to find balance between the two states.

Maybe when you find a specific desire, you declare you are calling the flippin shots and decree it upon your kingdom. You are the ultimate authority so dammit, when you say something, people listen, and it's done. That's how obedient they are.

But after decreeing it you must step back and trust that your kingdom is never going to let you down, not because it's afraid of your wrath, but because its only joy is to give you everything you want, ANYWAY.

The other side to declaring "I call the shots!" is expecting that your shot calling was heard and things are taken care of.

Otherwise, if you don't trust your kingdom to obey, what was the point of getting so worked up in the first place? You demanded an audience with the universe, and it listened. In order for you to do your job you have to let the universe do its job. Those jobs are not mutually exclusive.

And if you trust that, you can go back to relaxing, and just letting things unfold. If the doubt or powerlessness comes up again, declare you are calling the shots, realize you have the best universal staff in the universe, and again, relax and let things unfold.

As far as I can tell this is the only way to let the ego's need to be heard and the real truth of how things happen, work together.

[tlaskcor]

I feel the power for my life, my reality, is mostly me, with a little God/dess-assist at times. I have made some amazing changes in my life, that have left me feeling !!! and in awe of my abilities. I don't think anyone could talk me out of being able to do anything.

Now, occasionally I am after something and don't see the road clearly, and that's when I feel some sort of power larger (smarter?) than me steps in and says, This way, dummy! through circumstances.

I find that anything is possible if it is broken down into small enough tasks.

[desertrat]

I thought the reasons why what you thought of sometimes created something else was represed crap , fear , confusing believes ect . All that stuff in your subconcious. desert rat

No assumptions, I experienced being part of the oversoul and also went into the zero point field where creations were coming from. Experienced it with my own senses.

I also rely on gut feeling about what feels right, also when I channelled I was given some amazing insights.

So assumptions are based on my gut feelings tinged with what I have experienced.

As usual you hit the nail on the head, except it doesn't feel like ego this time. It was just me awakening and feeling different and the feeling persists.

I just feel like something has shifted big time and I can't pinpoint exactly what. I know reality has shifted, I am reaching higher vibrations than ever before without effort.

The power to proclaim myself as creator seems natural and good and has integrated the seperation I was placing on myself, expanded me and God before.

Its quite bizarre.

Yeah ego isn't the be-all word, but I don't know what else to use in its place. If everything is (literally) you, then there can't really be an awakening to yourself, since yourself was always there. The only thing that would become more aware would be the ego, because it is the only thing that has ever felt separate. And in that case I think it would be less the ego becoming aware, and more part of it going into the background so your real self shines through.

When your real self shines through, I think it's always because a part of you that was in the way has taken a back seat.

Just my take, words don't always do it justice.

What was the zero point field experience like? What happened?

Yah, I've been noticing dozens of number syncroncities on these forums (I thought about pointing them out about 10+ times )

And of course then you ruin them by posting!

Yes, it does provide amazing insights.. doesn't it?

How about spiritual and emotional self..?? my understanding is that is the selfs/body's take over as the mental is returned to mantaining the body (mostly) as it was designed to do

There are so many things happening in the integration/ascension of self.. it is incredible.. some of thing happening are the anchoring of the "soul" into the body, the anchoring or bringing more in of the "inner self"

And if you learn it.. you learn to first percieve the from the 6th chakra.. (center of your head) and then you can move to the 7th chakra.. which is a real quiet space and according to my teacher.. highly expansive in there.. lots of room to grow

Nic, ive been thinking lately that there isnt really "power". The idea of "power" is just an illusion. You dont create with power, you create with inspiration.

The idea of "power" is another limitation. Mainly because it suggests that there is something that exists that isnt you, and that that "power" could at some point in "time" be with that thing.

Love Seth

There's a million definitions of power, so it might help if you recognize power by the definition that says "the ability to do; the capacity to act," rather than thinking of it in terms of all the mythical and/or spiritual qualities we give to it.

Power, by that definition, would be inspiration and creation in motion.

I like this, this sounds and feels right. Yes I think this could be it. The resistance has gone, the issues causing the resistance have dissolved.

Gonna think on this.

Well I was on a day of reclaiming power back ala busting loose from the money game.

I did it non stop all day, by evening my head was throbbing and you could feel the power returning via pineal. Then I turned my attention inward and started focusing on parts of my mind and reclaiming power back from there, I did that continously and then suddenly as I was looking at my computer screen everything disappeared and instead there appeared to be nothing but I could sense a sort of field, or wall and in front of it emerging were the two patterns I was trying to claim power back from. It lasted only briefly, and then I got a perception of my expanded mind where everything was occurring and it was all in my mind, of me.

That lasted a little while but it was the understanding behind it that blew me away.

It was quite extraordinary and I got first hand that everything is occurring inside my mind and its all really shallow and flimsy and subject to the smallest influence.

Sorta hard to put accross.

[nicbrahms]

I have lost sense of the other, my expanded self and the feeling of God I always carried around.

I feel like the be all and end all.

So its a little disconcerting but empowering too as I feel noticeably different. My surroundings feel different too, feel sorta outta synch with everything. Feel like spending more time alone staring into space.

Also get as strong sense something is happening but can't quite pinpoint what.

I continue reclaiming power and declaring myself as God, also I seem to be shifting perspective into that of my higher self, so Nic seems to be falling away somewhat. And the actions to interact are just motions with no emotion invested.

Strange.

[VinceG]

When I was younger I used to doubt myself and look to other people for truths and guidance. Life didn't really click for me until I realized that every single time I ever did this, I got more confused and insecure than ever. I decided that I would be the guru of my own life. I choose the beliefs, I choose the lessons. I dictate the goals, I make the plans, I choose how to execute them. It just feels right that way. If a leader is needed, I will lead. If cooperation is called for, I'll lead anyway, cooperatively. One day, I want to build great schools and tribes of creative autodidacts. I shall travel the world like Julian Assange and plot the world revolution through artistic war.

Where does power lie? Me.

[Showtime]

The power is equally distributed. I mean to say where the power lies, we have to define "the power," which I define as Energy.

I'm Energy, you're Energy, God is Energy. God is the Universe, which is comprised of Energy.

So I mean, the power is everywhere. Some people just don't know how to use it.

We're talking about "power consciousness" as explained in the great book, 'Master Key System'. How does one harness it, remain conscious and respectful of it? People like Steven Spielberg who can go with the flow and receive opportunity and approval from the people and achieve all inspired goals in a short space of time with ease and no struggle.

How to attract the ideal synchronicities to satisfy your creative and emotional desires. The right people show up who will help, the right idea pops into your mind, you achieve amazing results and prove no limitation to your success.

Hmm. Guess I'd better stop telling people to wake up to themselves, then, eh?

Actually, I find that what kind of happens is that the ego recedes, and along with it, the sense of separation. The more the ego is, err... diminished, I guess (from a position of being its own reality, not as in "destroyed"), the greater awareness is possible.

Damn, I hope that made sense. It's really hard to find words to describe the experience.

Or, I could have just said it succinctly, like that.

Yes. Frustrating, at times, but I also find it hilarious, too. Trying to find words.... well, it can be absurdly amusing.

Thank you for the clarification and book suggestion.

We're all the power. Just one mind experiencing different aspects of itself. God, or The Universe is connected to us. We aren't god but we also can be at times.


Depending on your perception again lol

so you mean a collective unconscious?

And an aspect of what you have experienced is that you've recently been able to ignore income (money) as a specific goal - hence no worry about it.

I seem to recall you were able to give up your shop or business... turned it over to your employees? or walked away from it? or however you did that...

No concerns about paying bills. I remember you reporting on making that shift at the time, but I forget the exact details.

Is that right, nic? How has it played out? (or how have you played it out?)
