What if there are “realities” and things you want to experience that you cannot see, you cannot tap into, because of the “station” you’re tuned into?
I was just reflecting on this as I drove one of our sons to drop a car at the local Meineke this morning, then shared it in our morning coffee chat with a fellow dad, and finally created a little video about it.
Now I thought you might enjoy reflecting on this, too!
In short, we’re all “tuned into” certain beliefs and patterns of thinking and self-talk — often unconsciously — that create a kind of filter that only allow us to “see” things that reinforce our beliefs or match our pattern.
Hence, in a sense, what we believe — what we’re constantly thinking, talking about, and saying to ourselves — becomes our “reality”, and nothing else “exists” for us.
I had a mini experience of this recently when Rachelle drove off unknowingly with my sunglasses and I wanted to take a bike ride. As my eyes were still feeling sensitive to the pollen in the air, I was bummed at first, wondering what to do.
Then I just “accepted” the situation and decided I was going to bike anyway and enjoy the ride.
As soon as I relaxed, an idea came to me — why not use one of the clear “glasses” that we have for protecting our eyes when using power tools?
Now just a moment before, those glasses didn’t “exist” for me — they didn’t exist in my reality, and I couldn’t “access” them.
But as soon as I relaxed my own reaction to the situation, all of a sudden I was able to “tune into” another channel, and get another idea — and in a sense, “manifest” something out of thin air!
Now you may be saying those glasses were already there — but for me they weren’t, until that moment that I became aware of them.
How about for you?
What might be “already there” around you that you can’t yet “see”, because of certain beliefs, reactions, or self-talk — and what if you were to relax a moment — release your current thinking, beliefs, or patterns — and make room for something new, for a new idea, a new possibility, even a new way of being?
What might you discover?
Have fun pausing and playing with this idea.
Yours in wellbeing,
Ben
