You create your own reality. Nice phrase. A bit popular now in your new age, but what does this really mean? Many individuals interpret it to mean “I have some degree of say over my reality.” In general, this is far more accurate of what most people believe “you create your own reality” truly means. But from our perspective, it means more than that. It means you created all. You are not even within a reality; the reality is within your Consciousness. And therefore, every creation, every Creation in your life, is a product of your own Creator Hood.
However, you very creatively within your Society divide your Consciousness up into parts or segments. One or perhaps sometimes many of these segments are sometimes referred to as sub or unconscious. Therefore, when you create your own reality, you do so consciously some degree of the time, but also, because you have the convention of this idea, also do so unconsciously, particularly when you are not aware that you even created. Therefore, fairly enough, many times individuals will say, “Well, if I create my own reality, why would I create that?” referring to some particular thing within their reality that they do not prefer, and then use that as a proof that of course I must not create my own reality. “I would not be such a careless Creator if I did.” But understand again, because you have these subdivisions in the overall 100% Consciousness that you are, some of these creations can be the product of what you have bought into on perhaps Trust of other individuals, on perhaps Trust of societal Notions, and therefore not altogether consciously.
How this can be used in a practical way is that you can truly make all your Creations conscious and thereby transform the ones that you say you do not prefer. However, you cannot do so by denying any of your Creations. Interestingly enough, many individuals are all the more willing with pride, zest, and Zeal to admit that the things that they prefer in their lives are their Creations, but the ones they don’t—not so easy. The ones they don’t perhaps they feel slipped in there when they weren’t looking.
Allow us to address those Creations—the Creations that were in that sense products of unconscious beliefs, but no less your Creations. Though those unconscious beliefs most often will yield realities perhaps you do not prefer, there is a way to transform this. And first of all, allow us to say that you can never get rid of anything that you create, for you are the entire universe and there is no outside; therefore, there is nowhere to put anything. Therefore, you can transform something, you can integrate it, you can change its face, but attempting to push it away or get rid of it is only denying your creation. And denial of your creation does not put you squarely back into the position to transform it. You can only transform any creation or any belief if you first acknowledge and own that you do believe it. And that is the difference between denial and transformation of your reality.
Therefore, allow us to now address the Creations within your life that you say you do not prefer. All symbols, all events within your reality again are part and parcel of you. You cannot truly separate yourself from them because again you are not within a reality; the reality is within you. So therefore, you can truly look at any of the symbols within your reality as a neutral set of props that gives you the opportunity, when interacting with that portion of your Consciousness, to determine how you wish to label it. What significance you assign to it is up to you. And here’s The Clincher, as you say: the significance or meaning that you assign to a neutral symbol determines the effect that you get out. So therefore, any nonpreferential Creations that very often may seem even to repeat and be repetitive have been ascribed a particular label by you that has resulted in the negative.
Because they are in a sense a neutral set of props, you can choose to label it any way you wish. And being neutral, what this means is there will always be 100% potential for a negative outcome or a positive outcome from the same circumstance. So therefore, you can begin to use all your Creations in a positive way. You can begin to utilize the Creations you say you do not prefer by looking at them, by reassigning, by reinterpreting your relationship to that symbol, to that aspect of your Consciousness, for again it is all one thing.
Therefore, when you find yourself experiencing a negative reality, understand that you have labeled it negative. Perhaps it is a overwhelming symbol—that is how your Society labels it, that in general immediately gets slapped with a negative label. But remembering that it is all neutral, you can turn it around because it also has 100% potential for positive. It also always can have a positive interpretation as well. And your mere willingness to even look, to even think that it is possible to look at what is positive about something that you formally have only labeled negative, will open many doors within your Consciousness and begin to rejoin the many divisions and segments that you chop your Consciousness up to represent.
So therefore, one of the suggestions that we have made in our interactions with your Society, and to put it quite colloquially, is when something is occurring to you or shall we say within your reality and you are labeling that it is happening to you, “Why is this happening to poor me? This is no fair. What did I do to deserve this?” — that is a label, that is an attitude, that is a perspective, and when you make that assignment, that is the effect you get out. However, there is another way to approach it, and this way enables you to utilize even that, even that creation you say you do not prefer. And the simple statement that will represent the beginnings of allowing yourself to see this is, rather than “Why me? Why poor little old me?” ascribing the statement, “All right, I understand the negative aspects about this, but I also understand that all symbols contain both. Therefore, how does this creation, how does this symbol serve me exactly the way it is?” That simple, simple perspective will at least allow you to begin to use even that creation, and you will find that when you nail down the positive reason for any creation, it will transform.
Symbols and events and objects and situations are merely messages from yourself to yourself. When you ascribe it in a negative way, you remove it from yourself and therefore perhaps are not getting the positive message from the symbol. So very often, the result is that the symbol will seem to repeat; it will come back perhaps in slightly different guises, slightly different forms from its perspective, to allow you the opportunity to get a particular message which will aid very greatly in your growth and expansion of consciousness. So therefore, understanding this, you can begin to be a bit more conscious about it and begin to look at how it serves you, for when you get the message that you created the symbol to represent, there no longer is the need for it to keep coming back. There is simply nothing extraneous in creation. If something exists, it exists, and then by definition it is not extraneous. It is not that everything fits in my life except this; “this is extraneous”—when you assign that definition, you get the effect of something being extraneous, but that is a result of the assignment of your particular label or belief.
So therefore, when asking yourself “How does this serve me?” and going one step further to ask “How does it serve me exactly as it already is?” if you will be honest, you will always find something. And when you nail down the overwhelming reason for the creation of that symbol, it simply transforms, changes face. So therefore, if there is something in your life that you feel is repetitive to you that you do not prefer, first of all we can assume you have been assigning it either the same or a similar negative label. So first of all, do not continue if you wish to do that. But when you are willing to act as an owner so to speak of your own reality, you would only assume that everything that you have created, if you truly believed you created your own reality, can be of service in a positive way. So therefore, by only being willing to look at what the positive perspective is, you allow it to transform and take a belief which was formerly unconscious and, by bringing it to the front, bringing it right in front of your face literally, you allow it to transform, you allow it to become conscious.
