A question on creating your reality came up recently so I like to share an incident that happened that illustrates this point well.
We have heard of the saying, you create your own reality. And this is something in which most people in the new age movement subscribe to.
Several years ago, there was a healer who went on an attacking campaign against the work I was doing. She called me up once and threatened to show up at my workshop which I was conducting the next day, to tell all participants all the 'bad things' that I was actually teaching and doing. And she said that this is because I created this reality for myself.
I was actually amused by her statement, I was not in any way making fun of her, but I was amused by her understanding of what it means to create one's reality. I see that my reality of life and hers are at opposites ends of the pole.
To me, creating my reality is not about controlling outer circumstances, situations or people. Creating my reality is about how I am perceiving the situation. So let's take this situation with this particular attacking healer. I created my reality by seeing that her attack was a call for love. I harbour no ill feelings towards her, in fact, I have great compassion for her because one must be feeling quite lost to go on an attacking rampage as such. I also created my reality by owning my personal power and remained unaffected by her attacks and I also told her that she was welcome to join us at the workshop. I created my reality by remaining centred in facilitating the workshop the next day, whether she will turn up or not, though I did not expect her to do so, and she didn't.
So creating one's reality in truth comes from our thoughts. This is an important lesson in which Dr Stone had taught time and again in all of his books. Since it is our thoughts that create our perception of life, it is our thoughts that create how we feel, so it is our thoughts that create our reality.
May you create a beautiful reality in the days ahead...
Namaste,
