Whether you are someone that has not awakened to Truth or someone that has managed to pull out of the hypnotic state of sleepwalking through this journey, guilt can haunt us deeply. Sometimes there may be multiple choices that we made that seem to linger around our mind as if to torture us and keep us from living in the moment. We begin to connect the dots from our own individual choices to the webs of the matrix and our own weaving we have created. Or if asleep, we let the guilt of a bad choice keep cycling through our minds like a record that keeps skipping. What are we to do at this point?
It is imperative that we remember that we cannot change the past. That brings us to this moment right now where you are reading this and perhaps your own choices that still boil up a bit of guilt are circling around the mind. We can look around our lives and perhaps we see a life that is not what we feel best reflects our spirit within us. Recognizing this is a major step in the right direction. Evolving past a denial stage in any process of healing is not a simple task for most. A deep breath and a sigh may be in order.
It is time to move forward. A fantastic way of doing this is to reflect on how we got to where we are in this journey. This can be done in the macro and micro as they seem to flow succinctly in certain attributes. When we inspect a subject close to our hearts in the macro that does not seem to serve the greater good, then we can often trace back to decisions we have made earlier in our journey that may have affected this macro subject on a micro level. Perhaps we can see decisions we still make more currently and in the present that feed this macro issue that we no longer want to feed.
This is where the work really begins for so many. Understanding our decisions that got us to where we are and deciding what to do about it is the next logical step. Once a digging into this really begins, then motivation to change these decisions which are often behaviors begins to take hold. Changing behaviors can be difficult for some people. We have been “trained” to think certain ways and have attained certain lifestyles that in the past have brought comfort due to a level of predictability. Breaking free from the “trained” thought process and altering our perspective is vital.
It takes a decision to change, determination, and persistence to alter our course. It is really simple but can feel so overwhelming. We make decisions all the time, even if we don’t really give much thought to the decision. It is natural to wake up, pour a hot cup of coffee, skip breakfast, get dressed, and go straight to work. Do we really think much about any of those actions? I bet most do not. We may ponder over which shirt to wear or is it worth it to grab a banana as we run out the door, but do we really contemplate the decisions? Do these decisions even matter?
They matter. Our decisions ripple through our day and through our lives and through the matrix which affects us all. Our decisions get us from point A to point Z. Now, we have to remember there are a lot of points between on the way to Z. We start by consciously making decisions in every little thing we do. As we begin to contemplate how our decisions affect others or feed a system we don’t want to support or lead us down a certain path, then change begins to happen. We can start small with how we eat, where we buy our food, reducing chemicals in our household and used in/on our bodies. We can go further with how we spend our free time, stop watching television and the media propaganda, finding a creative outlet, and on and on. The key is to start thinking versus letting auto –pilot of repetition and programmed behaviors make our choices.
When we start looking at the bigger choices then we can often become stuck in a mindset that it is just too big of a change to be able to really alter our life to that degree. Our perception on how things are “supposed to be” plays a huge role in not being able to find a solution to these huge jumps. Programming is a difficult thing to become free of in our society and world situation. Reflect on some of the smaller changes you have made. How did you formulate better choices? Did you look at things differently? Did you open your mind to the probability of being able to make the change? Sure. Or you would not have made the change.
As humanity and as individuals, we have to let go of the guilt of how and why we have gotten into the mess that we are in at this time. We have to open our minds and hearts, stand fully in the present with the choices laid out before us, and look towards the future to help guide us in the right choices for the greater good. It begins with right now, this moment. We have to accept responsibility for our decisions and understand how far they can ripple out into all and into our lives.
Knowing that you have the power to think for yourself, the power of decision, the heart that will lead you to your path, and that every step counts is movement in the right direction. Guilt will not serve any of us well. Responsibility in our creating the world we want to live in and allow the children of this world to cherish is our greatest weapon. Do not let yourself or others guilt you in to not acting on your ability to alter the world and your journey. We all could use a little course correction at times. And once we begin to alter our course to a better one, we will feel the winds in our sails.
Much love,
Heather
