** This thread discusses the Content article: Arrogance Part 2: Letting go and healing **

I did "I don't like you" in the mirror.(won't allow myself 2 do that with my spouse.) Had strong reaction 2 that. Did EFTs to process the "I don't like me." & was surprised at my strong feeling. Copied part of the article & got great clarity. Thank you Polaris, 4 ur approach to arrogance. This got me angry: "The more you see the utter perfection and beauty of your limitations, the more you can transcend them." - POLARIS; then I road it out & came 2 happy conclusion: "How dare you say I'm limited! Who are you!?!" - ahh...There's the power struggle. Parents say they have the right to rule me because I'm limited. So are they. And they don't have the right to rule over me. ~infant me through age 3 with parents still in their 20's/. And that set the dynamics for this life time, because I internalized all that and took it to heart that I was eternally internally flawed.
AND I CAN’T LET ANYBODY KNOW OR SEE THIS OR THEY’LL KNOW THAT I DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXIST; THE TENSION OF HIDDING, REPRESSING ALL THIS FROM PRYING EYES.
This is why I so identified with Rabbit Howls.
Getting away from those evil, up to no good prying eyes. They weren’t looking for my good. They were prying to make their pathetic damage selves feel better – 28 year old bullies over a 2 year old. Attempting to booster their weak internal selves at my expense. And I believed them; internalized those lies about me, as the truth about me – who I am. So now I change that dynamic about me now.

Those prying eyes are the dragon I so fear in my dreams and mind’s eye as attempting to destroy me. Wow. Who knew? Now I can go to sleep and heal.
Again thank you Polaris

What a wonderfully vulnerable post. Thank you!

I think the idea of limitations is a paradox among many:

• We have strong limitations in this body and on this world, but there are no limitations for our deepest self, which is who we truly are.


• We have all the power we ever need - if we truly surrender to the experience we're having.


• We can choose to hide things in ourselves, but everything inside ourselves is always there for others to be aware of, no matter what we do.

I also have some inner voices speaking that I don't have a right to exist. Or that I need to continually pay a price for it. Letting go is a long process sometimes. Or rather, it's a letting go in each moment, but it's still planting seeds. Here's to restful sleep!

You create your own reality?

Are the limitations we percieve pre defined unchangeable constructs or have we indoctrinated ourselves as a race into the perception that there are limitations when none do really exist?

If we had no belief in limitation would limitation still exist, regardless of the plane? Is there any limitation on this plane that cannot be bypassed
You create your own reality. You become what your vibration gives off, you create and induce through whatever exists within that vibration.

Your thoughts and emotions manifest or actualise into to whatever you desire. Does a surrender into the experiance your having suggest a destiny which we cannot control at the human end? Are we at the mercy of what our soul wishes to experiance a to z? Or do we create our own reality
Or maybe im just manifesting the skeptic......

My understanding is that from the perspective of essence, no limitations exist. This is because essence is outside the perspective of time. All time is simultaneous, and oneness is more directly experienced. Thus essence can literally create anything - albeit in an alternate parallel or universe.

It's also true that we collectively create reality. Theoretically - or at least Karen channeled it - that if everyone truly believed in magic, it would exist. The physical laws of the universe would change. To think that one person has the power to change reality for everyone else is a little egocentric.

We are here to experience limitation. That's why we signed up and why we chose to be here. So it's a nice feeling to imagine what life would be like to be without those limitations, and it can be a great method to talk to our own souls, because that's how our essence is. But it's not the point, IMO. The point is learning to love - REALLY love - our own limitations. And learning to trust and operate from a space of empowerment and joy from within those limitations.

I certainly know how limited my perception is. I intuitively know that parallel realities exist and that I can draw some possibilities from them, but I know I can't magically bring health care for all by bringing that parallel to us right now.

It may be a little change in topic, but creation does relate a lot to parallels, so I thought I'd throw in some of Karen's past channeling:


POLARIS:


The concept we wish to bring into that discussion is that we would like for you to remember that in all your past lifetimes and in all your future lifetimes again - which are being lived simultaneously to the one that you know now - in all of those lifetimes we wish to remind you that in any given moment of those lifetimes you also spun off or will spin off probable worlds from almost every moment there. Now whether those worlds continue to have substance and continue to exist is a function of how much energy you invested in them or will invest in them. So the total number of possible permutations of all your lifetimes put together approaches infinity.

It is true that there are a finite number of lifetimes that will exist in the thread of your past life remembrances for this cycle of existence on the earth plane. But within those finite lifetimes, there are an infinite number of possible lifetimes that you explored, chose not to explore, will explore or will choose not to explore. That is what creates the number that approaches infinity in terms of all the possible worlds that you have existed in, will exist in, or will choose not to exist in. The sheer number of the possibilities for you must be mind-boggling.

Now let us talk about why this is important. It has been said that all is chosen; all is choice. Every element of your lifetime, as you know it now, is present because of the choice that you made on some level. These choices are not always made on a conscious level. They could be made on the level of your inner soul, but that is also done hand in hand with you as a personality, as a person, as the you that you know yourself to be. So you and your soul work together in creating choices that allow you to have experiences that shape the life that you are immersed in now.

So you understand, then, the concept of "all is chosen". That is only a part of it.

Oh I wasnt implying that one person could alter the reality we all perceive that would be egocentric indeed

I was more refering to our own personal reality, what we actualise in our own lives. I do believe however that we create our own environment (even down to the eco system) as a collection consciousness. As Seth has stated, fact is only fiction which we believe.

This will surely be borne out when there is a shift in thinking (as there is constantly throughout the ages), a shift in soul age to mature which is happening all around us, abeit very slowy - but if you take a step back you can feel it.

I think that the word limitation maybe inappropriate because every essence experiance has is just a alternate perspective of one reality or another. Wouldnt you then say we are here to experiance an alternate way of being, rather than experiance limitation?

when essence recombines and becomes a collective on the causal plane, we/they no longer experiance physical reality - is that a limitation? or is it just a change in perspective? Are the other planes of existence more valid than the physical or 'better' or is everything that is, an equal part of 'all that is'


Is this real or just an illusion

thank you as always

Matthew:


I totally agree. As I've relaxed more in my awareness, I see how collective the choices are, that I'm a part of this vast sea of consciousness. And paradoxically, feeling more powerful in that. At first, it seems like I'm this infinitesimally small part of the consciousness that makes the decisions. And then the idea came that this was part of the perception of separation - that the truth is, the collective consciousness making choices is me. That I'm fully choosing it too. It's sort of funny how we play games in our mind - that we can have this idea of the collective consciousness that we are one with but also hold ourselves as completely separate in a way that choices are imposed on us.

Retro:

I think that the word limitation may be inappropriate because every essence experience has is just a alternate perspective of one reality or another. Wouldn't you then say we are here to experience an alternate way of being, rather than experience limitation?


I don't think the word limitation is inappropriate except in the degree that all words, especially on these topics, are somewhat inaccurate. We're both limited and unlimited. The limitation is also an alternate way of being. Our essence has chosen to allow a part of itself (us) to experience reality within a framework of perception where inputs and experience are limited.

To some extent, Polaris on the causal plane says that their experience compared to some of their teachers on higher planes is like our experience compared to theirs. They really don't understand what experience is like from that even more expansive, aware state, even as we don't really understand theirs. Their perception is limited compared to their teachers in the same way ours is to them. Still, it is 'only' a change in perspective, which is the same thing as a transformation in beingness. And no, nothing is 'better' than anything else - anywhere in the universe, no matter which plane you're on.

Since your soul is you, and you are an expression of the completeness that is your soul, there's no separation. The sense of separation from ourselves on a soul level that we have is a function of the essential limitations of the physical plane, whereby we perceive ourselves as what's contained within our skins rather than as the totality of our every experience in any lifetime or otherwise, plus our every thought or emotion, plus our perceptions.

Therefore, even though we might come into a lifetime with a loose template of experiences, challenges, relationships, etc that we might like to have in a given lifetime, and even though we as a particular human might feel isolated from the knowledge of that loose plan, on some level we always have awareness of it. Choices are made accordingly. Sure, some of these choices might be inefficient or lead to painful experiences, but it's all good and every choice is valid with nothing wasted.

The way that consciously creating a reality comes into play is by -- as best we can -- becoming aware of who we are and what our perceptions and inner core beliefs might be. We always create the experiences that we ask for, but when we are actually more conscious of who we are, we can more easily make choices that support and feel in flow with who we are.

So no, there's no such thing as destiny as most people perceive it. It might feel as though we're buffeted about by the winds of chance or the whims of our souls, but in actuality there is always a connection. We might not be aware of the connection, however, or might choose to ignore it, and that would be one of the choices we make. You can always choose differently, but again, conscious creation and a conscious sense of connection to ourselves on a soul level comes when we fully acknowledge and accept all that we are (even the parts we don't like) and bring them out, plus examine our inner core beliefs.

Lovely post, Margaret, thank you for your gorgeous vulnerability.

Many people choose difficult experiences with difficult people that color their experiences and perceptions for a lifetime. Parents are particularly chosen for these types of challenges because the parent-child dynamic is so integral to the human experience, and strong emotions build a wonderful panoply of experience.

It's easy to feel wounded and less than whole from such experiences because we forget that what we're carrying is a child's perception, from when the dynamic began. Children are small physically and often feel they lack power. We forget as adults that we're no longer in small, fragile bodies. Instead, we reinforce those feelings of smallness and helplessness with the similar dynamics we repeat over and over with others, even when we're no longer interacting with our parents. It helped me tremendously to remind myself that I can interact with others in a new way now, that I'm no longer a child. We know this intellectually but it can take a while for our body memories and energy dynamic patterns to catch up.

Another thing that helps is remembering that on a soul level, we are all equal. We are all one, so there is no power dynamic. There is no big or small. There is simply One. And we choose such difficult dynamics with other souls with whom we feel especially comfortable and trusting. Such pervasive dynamics are chosen well before a lifetime, with others with whom we feel we can create an experience from which to grow. It has helped me tremendously to remember that the difficult people from my childhood are really trusted friends on a soul level.

I sense that for you specifically, your presence was actually teaching your parents quite a lot. They grew from you being with them. Think of yourself as their teacher; it helps reverse the power dynamic.

Warmly,
Karen
