PERCEPTION

"Everything I choose to believe about myself and life ultimately becomes true for me" Louise Hay.

From somebody who perpetually perceives the glass as half full, I have often wondered out of curiosity about those who observe with equal conviction that the glass is in fact half empty! After all why not choose the wonderful feelings of abundance, safety and gratitude which accompany the positive observation of our physical environment?

Our outer world is often referred to as a mirror of our inner world to the extent that you will always find evidence of your beliefs manifest in your world so you can ironically claim," I THOUGHT as much"! Ironical because we now continue to believe that which we have created for ourselves even if it makes us suffer through negative emotions and self limiting beliefs.

The only thing which comes between you and an event/person/experience/circumstance/life is the meaning you attach to it. In other words how you choose to perceive it.Perception lies between joy and discontentment. Love and Loathing. Feelings of wholeness and emptiness. Achievement and failure. Forgiveness and illness...etc

The wonderful law of the universe however gives us limitless opportunities to correct all our perceptual errors. How? When we feel the true depth of our infinite self through love and gratitude, we change our very self-perception that hitherto was keeping us in the dark. We feel our own magnificence when have perceived correctly. Correct perception comes floating on the coattails of authentic thoughts.How do you know an authentic thought? Ask yourself how your body feels? Joyous, safe and content? Or Angry, sad or resentful? 

Manage your perception so it allows you to feel good, powerful and joyous! Your true state.

LETTING GO

Think through the unchallenged mental conditioning you have been subject to when you unconsciously hold on to old hurts, past events or even people who no longer belong in your current reality or experience. What are you holding on to exactly? A faint memory? A poor copy of what was? A self-righteous resentment towards things,people,places etc to remind you constantly of your victim state? Or are they fleeting feelings and emotions which pretend to make you feel superior, loved and safe?

But you have to ask yourself, "Why am I then not feeling at peace? Why am I not feeling the overwhelming sense of completeness that accompanies every authentic thought?

Because only YOU know what your mind has chosen to ignore. The truth. The truth of the present moment. That this pristine present moment is all that you ever really need to feel safe, secure, loved and whole. Your higher self knows this sacred truth and reminds you each time you are aware of your negative emotional state and emotions..its like a little flag which points to you that you are not in sync with the highest truth of your existence. The past has no power over YOU.

Allowing yourself the lightness of experience that comes from fully engaging with your present reality brings a freshness of perspective which did not exist before. A sense of "All is Well" and that everything is unfolding at the perfect time for the perfect reasons. 

So go on, let go. Let go. After all it is only a thought. A perceptual error which has to be managed better by YOU.Choose your birthright to be free of all mental limitations and choose Forgiveness, Compassion and Love again. Like you did when you first became aware of your SELF.
