WHO SHOULD WE CHECK WITH TO FIND OUT?

What is your question?

Is this the right person for me to be going into relationship with?
What's wrong with me?
Am I in the right job?
Why can't I sleep?
What am I afraid/jealous of?
Why does this keep happening to me?
How should I deal with this?

Whatever question you're standing in at the moment,
I'd like to answer you,
Rather than the question,
With a question --

Who should we check with to find that out for you?

Often, when I ask this question,
I meet with a measure of resistance.
One day I wondered why.....
It occurred that, in order to be our own guru
And answer our own questions,
We need to access ALL that we are,
And all that we give to ourselves.
If there are No-Go Zones within --
Emotional, intellectual and spiritual places we just will not go,
Then we're bound to encounter questions
For which we come up empty,
And go looking outside of ourselves,
To others
And to other busy-ness
For our answers.
Such a strategy may be OK for getting an opinion,
But it's not a good recipe for fulfillment or enlightenment!

I create the measure of fulfillment, success, loving, bliss and sufficiency
Out of what kind of entity I feel that I am.
So do you.
If we feel we're coming up short and don't know why,
There's only one place we can go
That will give us the empowering answers we're looking for.y
With-in. y
Answers given by others run a very real danger of being irrelevant, misleading, uninspiring and depressing.
Even the informative and relevant ones can get lost.
And, at their very best, answers from others can only ever inspire us
To look within.

So, let's go back to your question......
  • What is your felt sense about it? Your answer will be an experience.
  • If you don't have an answer yet, take a guess what they might be (there will always be more than one or two). 
  • If your very best friend asked you this question, what would your answers be? Stay open and let them pop: the answers that really matter often don't come up until 'way down the list.
Once we pick up a thought or feeling and give it our attention,
They energise and affect whatever they're focused upon.
If we're getting limited information from within,
It's possible that we're being limited by, or focused on our own perceived shortcomings.
Are you willing to let go of any identifying
With anything you think you are not,
And simply let it lie in a Possible tray?
Are you willing to widen your scope
And embrace, firstly, all the "I Am's" that you know to be true
And put the ones you're less sure about into your Maybe File?
Good.
Now come back to those "I-am-Nots" in your Possibility tray --
Are you willing, at some time, to embrace them, too?
Is that a possibility?
Good.
Just loosen up and allow your field of vision to broaden a bit;
Take all the blinkers off.
Take your reading glasses off
And check out the whole panorama
That contains you and what you're focused in on.

This is the meta-physics of how it works.....
Your attention expands and solidifies wherever it's directed,
And the thought-field attracts everything from the environment to support it.
Which is a poncie way of saying
Whatever we focus upon, we're likely to get more of it.

But we've developed this really annoying habit
Of finding what we don't want, and trying to "fix" it.
Haven't we?
That's where our attention is.
So the universe (which doesn't say "No, you can't have that; it's bad for you.")
Gives you MORE of what you don't want,
And everything to support that.
Which gives rise to a realisation --
We can never seem to get enough
Of what we DON'T want.
When we shift focus OFF what we don't want
And look around us at the existence and availability
Of what we DO want,
There it is. 
It's been there all along
Waiting for us to wake up
And to drop Separation.
All we need do to connect with what we want
Is to drop anything and everything we're carrying
That is separating us from it.
Are you game?
Are you ready to get off the Wheel of Lack?
Really? Are you sure?
(The only reason we sucked onto Lack is because we think there's some juice in it).
Have you had enough Lack?
Good.
Reconnecting with yourself may mean going within to some of those No-Go Zones;
In fact, I can just about guarantee that for you.
Are you willing?
Willingness is all you need, for now.

The day we created Duality,
"I Am" divided into "I-Am-and-I-Am-not"
And "I Have" split up into "I-Have-and-I-Have-not"
(Amongst all other dualities)

"Am Not" and "Have-Not" are mirror illusions we've created
That we're allowed to believe and be right about
So that we can really get what hell feels like.
(Heaven got boring one day, so we came here/now for a bit of entertainment. Don't fret, being human is not forever, nor is it fatal.
You might like to enjoy it while you've got the chance!)

When an "Am-Not" thought arises
Simply acknowledge it as a former guest
Who used to monopolise conversations around the board table of your mind.
Let it be,
And call in a thought that serves you better
To join the conversation.

And remember........
"Missing' is Opportunity in disguise.
