Creating is your birthright. It is what you do. You can’t help but create. You create without even knowing that you are creating! You create through thinking and feeling. It is impossible not to create something. Since you are always thinking and feeling, you are always creating. If you can be conscious of what you are creating, perhaps better choices can be made. Here are a couple things authors have said about creating:
Esther Hicks says, “You are a creator; you create with your every thought. You often create by default, for you are getting what you are giving your attention to... In the same way that sculptors mold clay into the creation that pleases them, you created by the holding energy. You mold it through your power of focus by thinking about things, remembering things, and imagining things. You focus the energy when you speak, when you write, when you listen, when you are silent, when you remember and when you imagine, you focus it through the projection of thought…There is never a reason for you to be without something that you desire. Nor is there ever a reason for you to experience something that you do not desire for you hold absolute control of your experiences.”
We posses the sacred ability to create our passions with simple intent. Sanaya Roman says, “You can change your reality by rewriting the past… Each time you make an important decision, you determine what future you create for yourself… As you change your past in your mind, you change your vibration and begin to draw to yourself a new future. If you want to be smarter, more creative, or more loved, imagine a past in which you were. It doesn’t matter if this was your real past; your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference. It will draw circumstances to you that match your imagined past…Choose what information and situations you agree with and want as your truth. What you accept as your truth will create your reality… Instead of accepting others’ opinions of reality, say, ‘I choose my reality.'"
“Manifesting is not about making demands of God and the universe. Manifesting is a cooperative venture in which your intention is aligned with Divine intelligence, that intelligence is in all things and in you simultaneously… You are not separate from that which you would like to manifest. It is you, you are it. There is only one power in the universe, and you are connected to the power. Demanding that God send your desire according to your timetable and design reinforces the incorrect idea of God as a separate energy.”
When we realize that we are the source of everything we want, we are self realized. We find that God is not separate from ourselves, but rather, God is inside us, living our lives vicariously through our experiences. We are this God that we have prayed to, believing it to be outside of ourselves. However, if we really think about it, we should pray to ourselves for what we want, for it comes from within, rather than from somewhere outside of us. We are expressions of God itself, and there is no separation.
Being
unhappy with who you are in a relationship can have many negative
affects on your whole life. You could begin to feel pressure from your
mate or start to feel disconnected from your children, which is a major
price to pay for a couple creating stress within a household. Parental
needs are just as important as a child’s needs. Choosing to become a
balance being rather than a chaotic being is a major step in bridging
the gap between you and your partner or future partner. If you can
match principle for principle with your significant other, then you
have a definite advantage creating happiness within a home. Keepsakes
are a good way to bring back good memories, but do not put too much
emotion or effort into material belongings. We have been taught,
generation after generation, that it is a privilege to love somebody
and be loved in return. By allowing our desire habit to manifest into
something good, we can take steps to loving ourselves and, in turn,
loving others.
