POWER TO CREATE

From: "divinesprt" divine_nature@yahoogroups.comYou came to Earth as spirit with all the power of the universe to
create anything that you desired. Your name was "I Am" and from the
time you could open your eyes you were a part of all that surrounded
you. There was no crib, no mom and dad, brother or sister, walls or
ceilings. You were they and they you. Although there was time and
space between you and what you saw, you did not understand that you
were not what you saw, felt, tasted or heard. Even smelly diapers had
no meaning for you. There was nothing you wanted or needed because it
was outside your awareness and experience.

Then something happened; you began to communicate with your parents
and they started educating you in the ways of the world. Eventually
you responded to a sound every time someone came into the room - it
was your name. Now, you became "I am Roy" and you began to discover
that you had some personal power in the new world; when you cried
someone came to you. But this power was very limited and you did not
understand why you did not always get what you wanted, and people did
not always respond to you the way you would have liked.

As you grew older the people around you limited your power by telling
you what you could and could not do or have, and of course by this
time the power you entered into life with was severely restricted.
You were expected to act within the boundaries set by your parents,
you community and country. You were given a belief system or religion
inherited from your parents, laws, and the correct detergent to use
as handed down from your grandmother.

You were given five words to use every day which disempower you, kill
the spirit, and make you dependent; these words are "right and
wrong," "good and bad," and the most disempowering of all, "can't!"
So far the only way that you had to fight back was to break their
laws, turn away from their beliefs and use your own language. And it
is because you still believe that you are only the physical body,
that you are powerless to change the world and God is punishing you.
You are completely disassociated with who and what you are. You do
not know that you are the creator and that you are not a victim.

You were limited not only by the ones who had power over you, but by
a punitive God who had power over your parents. If you wanted
anything you had to get down on your knees and beg for it and more
than likely you would not receive it because you were undeserving.
Also you were required to support the institutions that taught you
these things. Failure to comply would mean even less control over
your destiny in this life or any other.

Time has demonstrated that humanity is unable to comply with systems,
rules or commandments that are meant to control the spiritual nature
of humanity. The system that has taken away our power is now breaking
down. It was an era, a time in our history that no longer has any
relevance to were we are in our evolution.

The damage however is not irreversible and we now have more freedom
to explore other aspects of humanity or the human condition. For
centuries we have limited ourselves to the five senses, and anyone
exploring or demonstrating their other capabilities were condemned by
the church and or killed. The progress from the earthly perspective
is very slow; however, from the perspective of the universe, it has
happened over night.

In our present time, religion represents approximately 84% of the
world's population. It is religion that has brought us to this step
in our evolution and is the greatest influence on how we live our
lives today. It is religion that is therefore responsible for most of
what is going on in the world at this time in our history; "the
religious revolution." Because we have been so disempowered we
believe that we are not creating or are responsible for the way we
act, whether it is personal, world or natural conditions. God has
been the scapegoat and convenience for us to unburden ourselves of
responsibility or accountability. Until recently the extent of our
personal power was only known to a few who used it exploit the less
aware.

Development of our spiritual awareness comes slowly the longer we
leave it. It is usually because we have bought into what we have been
taught and we don't see the necessity. However, with age comes the
wisdom to know what is and what could have been. By that time many
have given up and find it just too much bother or effort to try and
change. The fact that I am sixty years of age and have 9 years of
experience writing about these things only makes it a little easier.
I still have to deal with over fifty years of past experience and it
is a slow process, but it's not impossible.

As a child and even into my teens and adulthood I felt powerless. I
also felt like a victim and limited in options. I fit in well with
those around me because I gave away my power to them. At the back of
my mind I knew that this was not who I was; patience, stubbornness
and a glimmer of light into the future would help me break the mold.
For those who have ever felt this way and for those who want to take
back their power there is a sure way of doing it one step at a time.
Simply put and explained it can be summed up in one word;
responsibility. It is a simple methodical procedure that will allow
you to own your life and allow you to become aware of the power you
always had to create abundance, good health, and happiness. In order
for this to happen you must own the circumstances of your life;
everything you do, and everything that others do to you and
everything that comes naturally. You cannot give away what you do not
own.

You are one of two things; you are either a victim or a creator. The
exercise is to know yourself as the creator of all you experience.
That very concept will be difficult even for the most enlightened.
But you must remember that it is your past that is dictating those
thoughts. That is why you must take small steps to overcome them.
Remember I said the exercise is simply, but it certainly is not easy.
From now on everything that happens to you is a direct result of your
desire to have it happen at some level of your consciousness. Whether
it is good or bad, works or does not work for you, you must own it.
You are the creator and there is a reason for it to happen. You are
creating all the circumstances of your life. So the scapegoat here
can be your subconscious it you are not ready to own it at a higher
level. It's not God's will, and it is not that you are deserving or
undeserving or are a victim of natural circumstance or in the wrong
place at the wrong time. It's not that you are even lucky or unlucky
or something happened by change. Everything is your creation for a
reason that may or may not be known to you at this time. Even if you
have to lie to yourself for a period of time; you must own all that
you experience.

You must know that accidents and illness are also your
responsibility. You create them for your own purpose at some level of
consciousness. Take that responsibility whether you like it or not
and know that you created it for purpose - don't give it away or
blame anyone or thing. By doing this you will eventually own your
power to change or avoid these things. If you give away your power,
you automatically become a victim and powerless to change your
circumstances. Don't try to outthink yourself, and ask yourself; why
would I want this, why would I do that to myself or I can't make that
happen. Accept your power to make them happen for whatever reason
known or unknown and eventually you will be in control and able to
turn those things around. Know also that any event or circumstance is
not a "bad" or "good" thing. All things are created for your purpose,
whatever that may be. In hindsight you will discover the reason.
Dropping a hammer on your big toe can be a good thing if it gets your
awareness - it works for you. It may be a sign that something is not
working in your life; time to make a change. A trip to the doctor may
provide an opportunity for you to meet your soul mate. It happens for
a reason; your reason, accept that, and you will know your power to
create all the circumstance of your life. It is not God's will, you
are not a victim, and it is you who is manifesting all the events of
your life.

In every moment of your life from this point forward accept your
power don't give it away any longer. Don't listen to those old
thoughts; create new ones. In every minute of every day, tell
yourself that you are the creator; that whatever you are doing is for
reason, for your purpose. It doesn't matter what others may say or
do, you are not giving your power away. This may be slow and painful,
but it works. Create this awareness in you and you will become the
person you have always known yourself to be. You will never be a
victim again.

Remember it never works in your favour to give your power away no
matter what the circumstance. Even if for the moment someone has
physical power over you; know that at some level you have created the
situation for your purpose, hang onto that thought and at some point
you will have the power to change it. Most importantly as you become
aware of your personal power to create, you will no longer need
undesirable experiences to awaken you to things in your life that are
not working.

Avoid judgment, for even in judging your own experiences; you will
fail.

So, if the boss calls you into his office today and fires you, you
made it happen for a greater purpose. If you win the lotto; it was
not luck or chance; it was your desire, your power that made it
happen. All things work for your greater purpose. And you have the
power to change them, whether you believe it or not. This exercise
will help you get reacquainted with your power. Recognize the doubt
when it comes up and understand that it is natural for it to happen,
own the doubt and give it away. It is your doubt, not someone else's,
and you have the power to overcome it. The more you work at this the
faster it will be made manifest in your life.

Once Buddha was passing by a Lake with few of his disciples. They stopped there for a while and Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Can you get me some water from that lake."

The disciple walked upto the lake. Then he noticed that a few people were washing their clothes in the water, and right at that moment a bullock cart began to cross the lake.

As a result the water became very muddy. The disciple thought, how can I give such a muddy water to Buddha to drink. So he came back and told Buddha: The water there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink."

After half an hour Buddha again asked the same disciple to go back to the lack and get some water for him to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake.

This time he found the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in the pot and brought. it to Buddha.

Buddha looked at the water, and then looked up at the disciple and said, "See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be. The mud settled down on its own and you got clear water, Our mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't always have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless."

When you feel disturbed, unable to focus or concentrate, don't worry, just take a deep breath and think calming thoughts. In a while you will find a sense of calm flowing through. Let the peace flow through you to everything around you.

I have got this post from another forum.
