Truth Trauma

It is no measure of health to be adjusted to an extremely sick society. - Krishnamurti

For those new to this truth journey or who are suddenly awakened to just how upside down our world is; the truth can traumatize you.   Actually, to be honest, it can also traumatize if you have been on this journey for a long time.  Awakening is not a destination, it is a process and when you dive down the rabbit hole, it can leave you feeling demoralized, depressed, despondent or downright angry.  It is a big letdown when you discover that all you were led to believe was based on a lie that was propagated down through the ages as the truth.  Even worse, it is not just one lie.  No, it is a spiderweb of lies that are intrinsically woven together. 

History was written by the winners and was never based on truth.  It was based on a story that would keep the populations of Planet Earth in a deep, deep sleep.  Until a few sparks went off and some people started uncovering the truth.   The truth that there are beings in this world who control everything and have orchestrated the devastations and divisions on this Planet Earth.  It is the game of chaos and it has been operating for a long time with the sole intent to grab your mind and control it.

There is Power in your Awareness

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." - Viktor Frankl

People often overlook the simplest things in life.  Instead they seek the complicated and spend their time searching and accumulating more knowledge.  They neglect to recognize that although they may understand something intellectually, the benefits will only come when you put it into your experience.  It’s when the intellectual transmutes into the ‘ahhh’ moment.  It is a piece of the puzzle falling into place.

If you are seeking to change your life, the starting point is becoming aware of where you are placing your attention.  Consciousness always follows thought and your thoughts are made up of the beliefs that you have accepted as true.  It is through these beliefs that you perceive your own personal world.

Contrast Makes the World Go Around

You can look at contrast like the channels on your television set.  There is a wide selection of programs that you can watch.  You watch something new.  You can watch only the programs you like.  You can watch those programs you loath.  You can flip to other shows during the commercial breaks.  You can mute it.  You can turn off the television.  You can leave the room.  You are the controller of what you watch and don’t watch.

Unfortunately with life, many of us do not see ourselves of being the holder of the remote control.  Often in the middle of a bad situation we neglect to realize we have options.  Instead we see ourselves as stuck with whatever program is playing out in our life and our only alternative is to complain about it.  So we rant about it.  We tell everyone we know about it.  The problem is the more you talk about that one bugaboo in your life; the more you set yourself up for similar situations.  It becomes your vibrational rendezvous point.

Recently a client called who was experiencing a problem at work.  She ranted on about the issue and was slightly perturbed when I suggested she think about something else.  I had given her the suggestion of thinking about how it would feel to be enjoying an afternoon on an outdoor terrace in Tuscany... wonderful sunshine, nice glass of red wine, plate of antipasto, good friends, laughter...She angrily retorted back, “I have to face reality!”  To which I replied, “Yes and you have a choice in the reality you want to face.  The reality you are facing right now is making you extremely angry and you are going to end up with more angry situations.  Change the channel and think about something that is going to give you a better feeling thought.  Think about all the things that are going right in your life.” 

So if your life has brought you a situation that is giving you some negative contrast here is what you can do:

1.         Change the channel in your mind.  Go back through your memory banks and find a thought or a situation that makes you feel good.  Focus on it.  Build it up in your imagination.  Your imagination is a powerful tool; use it to your advantage.

2.         Get off the subject.  The more you talk or think about it the more you lock into that vibration.  Life is like a variety show.  There may be one thing in your life that is going wrong but there are usually other things that are going right.  Focus on what is going right.

3.         Contrast lets you know what it is you don’t want.  Turn in the direction of what it is you do want.  Talk about what it is you want because talking about what it is you don’t want will only bring you more of what you don’t want.
