Sometimes people have a really difficult time when they hear that they create their own reality. It can be a really tough pill for them to swallow because they look around at the world and say, “but there are all these violent crimes like rape and murder, there's genocide, there are all these wars throughout history, there's government control, there's sexism, there's racism.” They look at their own life and the traumas that they've gone through and they look at their ancestral line and the traumas their ancestors have gone through. Every family tree has a story and every single person has a story, too. In my own family, I had many relatives who were slaughtered during the Holocaust.
But here’s the thing: We are all spiritual beings who have forgotten our true nature. We are powerful beings from the stars and we have dropped into this illusion that we call reality. We are living in a play, a school, a simulation, a game, and everything that you see around you is part of the setting for it; it's like the stage set of a play or the setting of a movie. But a veil has come down over our eyes and we've forgotten that we’re in a school and that what we see around us isn’t our true reality. We think that everything that's happening to us is real - we think that we are our body and our minds because we identify with our ego and that's what the ego thinks. And even though we have a body and we have a mind, we are so much more. In reality we are a vast spiritual being and only around 10% of our real soul, our real self, is incarnated as a human. The rest of it sits on the other side of the veil as our higher self. Because our true being has so much energy that it couldn't possibly squeeze into a human form - it would literally destroy the human body.
You actually determine what happens to you before you incarnate. You meet with your spirit guides and together you decide which lessons you need to learn in this next lifetime. This decision will be based on if you learned the lessons you were meant to in previous lives.
And once you have those lessons decided, you help your spirit guides plan out situations and circumstances in your life that are going to help you best learn those lessons. You decide the way you're born, who your parents will be, what race and nationality you’ll be, what continent you’ll live on, what country you’ll live in, some really big life circumstances that are going to happen to you, and the way that you’ll die because all of those things give you the opportunity to grow. They ready the soil, they plant the seeds, and then it's up to you if you grow. Because you always have a choice. You can either go deeper into illusion and into sleep, or you can become more awakened and more enlightened. You can use opportunities to grow and expand and to level up even more.
In Hinduism, they call the world Maya, which means illusion. ISKON Education Services explains it well when they say: “Under Maya's influence, the soul mistakenly identifies with the body. He accepts such thoughts as I am white and I am a man, or this is my house, my country, and my religion. Thus, the illusioned soul identifies with the temporary body and everything connected to it, such as race, gender, family, nation, bank balance, and sectarian religion.”
This quote just sums it up so beautifully. We get so attached to this illusion, but our bodies are just our avatars. It's like you've been dropped into a video game world and you choose what your avatar looks like. And we end up getting so attached to it that we appoint ourselves the judge and we start blaming others and we appoint ourselves the victim and we get sucked into this cycle of fear.
Now, if you wanna get off the wheel of karma, there are two things that you need to do in life: 1. You need to forgive people; 2. You need to stop letting fear get to you. You can't let yourself be afraid. Do things afraid. Because fear is part of the illusion and fear isn't real. The only thing that's real is love and what's all-encompassing can't have an opposite. Fear isn't even the opposite of love… fear just doesn't exist.
Now we can get so comfortable with suffering that it makes us feel safe. And I'm sure that you probably know someone that feels really comfortable being the victim and really comfortable with suffering. We get so attached to it, but here's the thing, you are pure love and you come from source and there is no judgment there. It is pure, unconditional love and creative energy. There are so many people who have had near-death experiences, who have crossed the veil and come back and said that they weren't judged for a single thing they did during their lifetime - it was all just pure, unconditional love and understanding. They felt this parent type of love, that they as the child could do no wrong. That's how source feels (or God or life force energy or whatever you want to call it).
You can look out into the world and find a million excuses, a million reasons to be angry; there are always things out there that will trigger you, that can make you angry, make you want to fight. But you always have a choice.
I’ve also heard ego will say “it's easy to believe all of this from a place of privilege.” But there is no one race, nationality, group of people, or social class that is more powerful or less powerful. We are on an even playing field. Everyone has the power to manifest their dream life. There's no one group of people who can manifest better. It just comes down to what individual people have been taught and what they believe. This is why it’s so important to unlearn all of that false programming we’ve been fed.
Quantum physics as well as a multitude of cultures all around the world tell us that we are all connected and that we are all one and there's an invisible energy field connecting us all. What one person does on one side of the planet deeply affects what someone else on the other side of it does. This is called “entanglement” in quantum physics. This field has been called the great hologram, the cosmic canvas, the unified field of consciousness, and the quantum field of consciousness. It functions like a hologram where we are all projecting onto this canvas, this realm, this field. Humanity together is projecting onto it. And then we get shown back to us in real-time, in the real world, what we're all thinking and feeling. Rather than attacking others and thinking it's us versus them, judging other people and blaming other people for our problems, and playing the victim, if we could instead project peace and love and compassion and empathy and kindness, we would see that reflected in the world around us. But if you're thinking things like us versus them, you will help call that paradigm into existence.
We all have the ability to change our thoughts and beliefs. We have the capacity to change our own reality. We are all powerful creators. And my hope is that these blogs, videos, courses, and my book help everyone to step into their own power and wake up to their true potential. I'm here to help humanity. I'm here to serve humanity. We need to all help raise the level of consciousness on our planet. We need to help humanity ascend to the next level.
The best way to know if any of this works is to try it. Just try what I'm saying, instead of judging it, instead of getting triggered or emotionally reacting to it, give it a try. Truly give it a try. It's about not just believing or not believing what other people tell you, but actually trying things and seeing if they work for you. Make up your own mind about things only after you’ve gathered all of the information for yourself.
A lot of times because of fear, we don't want to try new things. Sometimes we even label ourselves the cynic or the realist. But these are all other names for the ego. The ego is that voice that tries to convince you that you can't have all of the things you want. It tells you that you're not powerful, that you're just a body and you're just a mind.
The truth though is that if you can imagine another reality, it exists. There are countless realities going on simultaneously all the time. Just look at any two opposing groups in the world, both adamantly insisting their way is the right way and everyone else's way is wrong. There can even be next-door neighbors who seem to live in different realities.
If you can think it, feel it, align yourself with it, vibrate at its frequency, and see yourself living inside it, then that reality will become yours. There's no doubt about it. That is how the universe that we live in works. It’s alchemy: you're transforming darkness into light, sadness into joy, disease into health… and it all comes from you.
If you decide to look around and see a pained, sick, and tormented world, then by thinking that you are going to make it so. Whatever you get emotional about the universe sends you more of because your emotions are how you manifest, how you use the Law of Attraction. The universe operates kind of like the Facebook algorithm. If you're getting emotional about something, if you're giving it your attention, the universe is like, “Oh you like this, you want more of it? Cool, I'll send you that.”
You have to flip the way that you think about things. The outside world isn't happening regardless of what happens with you. The outside world is a projection of your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. It's like a movie playing in real-time that you control. You are creating your reality.
At the end of the day, you get to make a choice about what you look at. You can look at things that make you feel angry, you can look at things that make you feel like a victim. You can look at things that make you want to go out and fight. But the only way you're actually going to change the world is by changing yourself first. Change your inner world and you’ll change your outer world. So change yourself first and then offer others a hand to lift them up to your level.
Don't look at things that don't align with the reality you want. If there is something like a real estate crash or unemployment affecting your area and the newspapers are reporting on it and it’s all over the news, you can simply affirm “this does not affect me.” You don't have to pay attention to it; you don’t have to make it part of your reality.
Don't feed into a reality that you don't want to exist. This isn't spiritual bypassing. It's you taking your life into your own hands. You are taking the power away from external forces and you are putting the power back into your own hands. I hope you can feel empowered rather than defensive at the idea that you create your own reality.
