Conscious Creation: Your Dream Is Waiting For You To Wake Up!
A key to conscious creation is awareness. You have to stop sleep walking through life and become aware that how you think and feel is creating your experience. There are no accidents.
Coincidence is more or less where intention meets experience without conscious awareness on the part of the persons involved. You are co-creating your reality whether you are aware of it or not. The problem is, if it is unconscious and you have a negative mindset, or if your habits keep you limited and in a contracted, fear based place, you will create a nightmare.
Unconscious creation is like sleepwalking through life. You are unaware of what is ‘real’ and not real and you tend to walk through life feeling like a hapless victim of circumstance. When we were children, before the layers of fear started building up, we naturally tended to aspire to adventure and fun. By the time we were socialized by our family, school, religion and society at large, we usually lost our sense of courage and hope for an abundant, adventurous life, and we began to ‘settle down’.
When I was around twelve or so, I began to have a strong feeling and vision that when I ‘grew up’, I would find the happiness that I wanted and inspire others to do the same. At first it was an exciting thought, but as time went on and I began to feel beaten down by my turbulent teen years, I lost self-esteem and confidence and I went after ‘security’ and ‘control’ instead of expressing my gift of 'helping people to see their vision'.
Instead of pursuing speaking, writing and directly working in the field of personal development, I decided to go to medical school. Fortunately, through a series of events, I ended up becoming an eye surgeon (Ophthalmologist) which ironically still allowed me to help people to ‘have better vision’, literally.
Well, while professionally I was doing well, personally, my life felt incongruous and as time went on, I started to see glimpses of my original ‘dream’ again. The more I ignored it because I was not aware of my own ability to co-create, the more unhappy I became on the inside.
Finally, events occurred in my personal life that caused me to question many fundamental beliefs that I was holding about myself and life. The events were so earth shattering to me that I finally woke up from the nightmare I was creating, and consciously decided to follow my dream or life purpose in the capacity that I was designed to do it and in a way unique to me.
My dream or purpose was in my heart all along – I was just asleep or not aware of the power to choose differently. I am sooooo happy that I listened. Regardless of the outcome, I am more fulfilled now than ever before and I am still helping people to ‘see better’.
As it is said, the Universe conspires to help those who have made the decision to wake up and bring forth their gift for service to the world. It is a win-win decision, but it takes conscious choice! Wake up so that you can choose your best life!
Wow - this really hit home with me: "Unconscious creation is like sleepwalking through life. You are unaware of what is ‘real’ and not real and you tend to walk through life feeling like a hapless victim of circumstance."
I was sleepwalking for so many years that I can't take back now. Thankfully, somewhere along the line I started waking up, but it takes a concious daily decision for me to stay aware of where I'm going with my life.
