blame

Right now in the world there is a good deal of anger and resentment, understandably so. When you consider the state of world affairs, of the economy, of the environment, of the inequity and injustice, it’s enough to make a saint seethe! Yet the moment we blame someone or something else in the outer world as being the cause of our reality and experience, is the moment we disempower ourselves.

Why so? And what would be a more productive approach?

Mastering the Chess Game

It’s not surprising really that we might want to blame the outside world – and people in it – for those events and circumstances that ‘go wrong’ in our lives. Through day-to-day activities, society seems to always teach us the importance of ‘self defence’, of always knowing what to do, of not admitting we could be wrong. It teaches us that we are separate from one another and all things; and that events happen randomly with no greater cause.

In society it’s all about manifesting, controlling, profiteering, winning or just plain surviving.

We are instilled with wishes, hopes, desires or fears about “how things really could be or should be”. Furthermore, we’re taught that we shape our lives by moving pieces around on the external ‘chess board’: friends, relatives, partners, houses, jobs and cars to name but a few. How often do you hear about trying to find that perfect soul mate for example, or how to secure your house, your ‘nest egg’ or the life you always wanted?

It’s not surprising that even ‘spiritual people’ might forget one fundamental truth…

We shape our world and everything in it, including the consequences, people, events and circumstances, not by moving pieces on the outer game board like some logical, mind-led chess player, but from the configuration of consciousness we radiate from within.

Co-creating together

Now I know that accepting our inner configuration of consciousness creates the outer mirror is sometimes quite a challenge to get. Quite frequently I’ve heard from people…

“Surely not EVERYTHING is created by me? What about what everyone else is doing? What about the people I come into contact with? Are they not creating too?”

Yes indeed. We co-create together. The society in which we live includes also those who manipulate it. But the point is, everything is consciousness and we draw EXACTLY those circumstances and people to us, that we need in order to see who we really are by reflection in their mirror. So for example, many people are currently complaining about the banks and big corporations exploiting us and our earth. But we each have the power to decide what we spend our money on and with whom.

We created this system in which we live by our own inner karma, and the ONLY way to truly change it is to change ourselves…

Do you believe that by going inwards we can really change the world? I do, I believe its the only way!
