Here’s another discovery I made that may help you this week.

I was sitting in my recliner and had just awakened from a nap. I looked around my living room and recognized how much I loved my house and how it truly was a home. I have though this before but I now know I need to make it a habit to tell my beautiful home how much I love it and how much it means to me. The same goes for my vehicle. I’ve had that also for 10 years (same time as I moved in here I bought my car) and it has come through in every possible moment. It has been faithful and kept me safe and sound for all these years. I haven’t told it enough either.

Then there’s my cactus garden out front. I have done nothing to/with it in all these years except to talk to it and visit it almost every day. It has really done well and I love the low maintenance.

I love San Antonio and the new section of highway that makes my commute to and from work much quicker and easier.

I love the building we work in too.

I love my computer at home and at work even though they are like little children who “act up” when they want my attention…isn’t that a unique way to look at it? I find that much easier than getting upset with the computers.

Look at everything around you and proclaim that you love it and keep that up daily if not more often.

Try it this week!

If you are being swept into some current that is not comfortable, or not in harmony with your desire, you must remember that couldn’t happen if you weren’t offering a vibration that matched it in some way. If you’re vibrating differently from that, you’re not having that experience

This is something that’s hard for most people to accept when they initially enter the study and practice of metaphysics. It’s pretty easy to accept that you’ve created the good things in your life. You can hold your head up high, stick your chest out and say “aha, look what I created!”

But then when you see things that are not going quite so well, you want to put the blame somewhere else. It’s hard to accept the fact that you have created these bad circumstances and that you brought cruddy things into your life. I mean, after all, who would do such a thing?

Release the idea of blame. Just accept what this quote says – it couldn’t be happening if you weren’t offering a vibration that matched it in some way. Instead of beating yourself up about it (or worse yet, trying to find someplace/someone to take responsibility for it), simply stop and look at what’s happening. If it’s not something you want to continue to happen, then you can start changing your vibration – slowly but surely. You may have to let the momentum run its course for a while before things change but often that’s easier than trying to buck the current and swim upstream. Let yourself experience what’s happening and see what you can learn from it. It will fizzle out and then you can start to move up the emotional scale in the direction you want to head.

This week, take a look around you and see how things are going. If they aren’t the way you’d like them to go, admit that you created this and that you can, therefore, change that creation and transform it into a great experience.

Let us know what you’ve discovered.

Everything that has ever been lived, everything that has ever been written down or documented, has been vibration first. Everything has been conjured in vibration first before it manifests. So if something has manifested and you continue to give it your attention, the fact that it is true should really hold no weight with you. The question that we would ask is not, is it true, or is it undeniable? The question that we would ask is, how does it make me feel when I focus upon it? And if the answer to the question is, it doesn’t make me feel very good when I focus upon it, then we would say, true or not, it does not serve you. And if you will activate a different part of your vibration—the “truth” will shift.

The most important part of this quote is that it tells us to stop focusing on the things in our life that we don’t like or want. If we keep looking at something we will be focusing on it. If you have a mess in the middle of the floor (let’s say a pile of dirty clothes) you have to move around it so you’ll pay more attention to it than perhaps you’d like. Since you have to be careful about how you’re moving around it, you’re focusing on it so you keep seeing a pile of dirty clothes. If that doesn’t make you feel very good, it doesn’t serve you. So what do you do? You either leave it there and let it continue to bother you more and more or you pick up the clothes and you’ll now have a nice clean pathway and can focus essentially on the emptiness and the freedom you have for walking there. You might just have moved the pile to another room that you don’t frequent often so even though the “truth” is that there still is a pile of dirty clothes in your house, it’s not something in your focus and no longer is making you feel bad. You are focusing on the new “truth” – the freedom/emptiness.

Tell us what you can focus on this week to activate a different part of your vibration. Then tell us how that made you feel.
