Here is an exercise you can all try if you wish to have some fun with the physical reality game :)
Imagine on a screen your life the way it is now, on a day to day. See yourself, how do you look, how do you behave, how do you think, how do you feel.
Now, turn on one more screen next to the current one and focus on that screen. On that screen imagine your absolute ideal life. Observe yourself, how do you look, how do you act, how do you feel, what are you wearing.
Play the two screens side by side and analyze the differences. What are the differences in yourself that you observe. Know that this life exists right now. That you is still you, but another version of you.
But know that you become a different version of you in different reality every second. So, it's not like that ideal version of you can never be the current you. The current you CAN become that version and step into that reality mechanically speaking, but it would depend on your beliefs of who you are. If you want to become that ideal you the only way you can is to start behaving, feeling, acting that way and then that vibration will manifest the applicable circumstances. FEEL like you live in that ideal reality REGARDLESS what the current circumstances look like, and eventually you will step in the shoes of that version, you will become that version, just like in the next second you are already a different version of yourself than one second ago.
After I did that exercise and I imagined myself holding my bestselling book on the red carpet because the book had become an A list movie, I immediately put on a nice necklace, bracelet and earrings. I put on my luxury pajama, a few drops of perfume and I absolutely feel like a star :) I will not remove my bracelet and every time I look at it, I will remember (if I forget) to shift into that me's state of mind no matter what am I doing in my daily life. Now my mood is EXTRA elevated, because I truly believe that nothing is impossible and I love playing this game. No insistence of an outcome, but just FEEL like the best version of yourself no matter what.
If you do that exercise let me know if you notice change in behavior of others towards you. I have done this before. I do it now and then but always fall back to my "usual" self and forget to stay in that mind set. But now I will try to stick with it by having my bracelet to remind me. So, before when I would do that, people I know, even many strangers would give me so many compliments on how I look, my hair, my clothes, my bag, my shoes, etc. And I can see the way people look at me also changes, like I am a celebrity. Very fun game.
Hi LB! Thanks for this practice. I wanted to comment that I was feeling something similar the other day. Lately I've been really enjoying my observations with the world around me. A pause, a moment to ask, what direction do I want to go? Recognizing when something is out of my control, choosing how to respond- it is a challenge, especially in heavy traffic when people are in driving with a very aggressive me-first mentality.
I realize when I do this, sometimes it's easier for me if I'm talking back to whatever is happening as if the energy were sentient. (As an example, a few books fell off the shelf because I had to water the rosemary plant that was keeping them upright. I realize it was my lack of foresight that caused the books to fall but instead I found myself talking to my plant and to the plant holder... "Thank you for keeping those books together all this time. Oh, did you guys fall? Not to worry, I'll pick you right back up.")
And like you, for a majority of the day, there was a great sense of elation. For me, this came with the help of a few unseen divine friends. With their encouragement, I felt more alive and present. It even felt as if my body was occupying more space than just my physical body. They made their presence known, I felt connected to them and as a consequence more in the now than whatever I am presently. In fact, I felt connected to the now as if the now were its own personality. In this state I felt so much love and appreciation for every customer that walked in the store...
While connected, I saw every interaction as a chance to relish this holy presence.
When I read your post I understood it as acknowledging and dancing with that immensely creative eternal personality. I don't know if you recognize that your practice is also one of Faith. But I see that, and I believe That is the great opportunity before us.
That we are not always in such a state or aware of our connection shows me we do receive help and that there is work to be done. Whether we choose to do the work or not is up to each of us. As is how we choose to engage with ourselves and our beloved fragment of God.
I am taught and believe the greatest ideal is the God ideal. Attempting to be in the presence of God, because I realize there are at times a self created veil hiding this beautiful Now from me. But this manifestation practice is one of faith because it requires you to believe. And when you take one step forward, God will take even more in your direction.
When we are given just a taste, we realize how much greater that reality is... And, we discover, it's actually turning inward that allows us to experience that most sought after presence and connection. Turning inward makes the supposed outside world more alive and responsive. Suddenly, the world around us is communicating back with what is happening inside.
I believe one day we will recognize space to expand and contract and that evolving personalities will recognize such movement as the breath of God.
I am grateful to see you and a few other members share their recent revelations, I definitely think we are all moving through something together.
Peace ~
Great experiences, Tides! I am also noticing trends among the like minded community for certain concepts being accentuated.
Your books falling episode is a perfect example that if we see everything that happens as opportunity instead of getting upset automatically and missing valuable lessons. By you reacting with curiosity what that may mean, you would not have connected to the plant, But with the loving approached you had raised your frequency significantly at that moment. If we live like this every moment of every day we will shift automatically to a reality that is in alignment to our frequency.
By the way, when I get stuck in traffic, I instantly remind myself how exciting it is to be in this game and observe all these magnificent creations including players and their challenges, the look of the game, the elements, surroundings, etc. I just switch to game observation mode and I truly feel the fabric of the game and me as a player in it, as well as the other players and their behavior and experiences. It becomes a fun adventure and it no longer feels like something negative imposed upon me by the societal design of life. When I observe others reckless driving, I send them calm energy without judgement. When we offer help energetically to others who appear in misalignment instead of judging their actions typically we stay in high vibration and if we keep reacting that way eventually we will not even encounter such observations. You may be in the busiest freeway in the world but in your reality the drive would be smooth and enjoyable, where others driving just next to you may be cussing and seeing chaos around them. The state of mind truly creates the reality each of us experiences.
