Hopes and dreams

Clients frequently present the question: I have dreams about doing new things, but something always seems to come up to derail me. Do I have something going on in my subconscious?

First of all, let's be clear, a habit is something you do and you don’t realize you are doing it. If it really is a habit, it is unconscious behavior and you do not really have an awareness about it. But make no mistake about it, once you identify that you are doing it, it is no longer able to be called a habit. It is now a choice.

Why would we choose to act in a way that prevents us from our highest potential? We are all motivated similarly at our core: We will always move in the direction of what we believe to be most beneficial or pleasant for us in any moment, and move away from that which is perceived to be painful or unpleasant. Yet, people are consistently doing the things they think they have to do at the expense of doing things that actually enhance their quality of life.

Okay, fine, that makes sense enough. But why is it that we sabotage ourselves from making the more advantageous decision that will most likely result in more benefit to us? It is an easy answer: when you struggle or have difficulty in making a change, it is that you are attached to a belief that is not aligned with your true self.

When you act in the highest degree of love, joy, creation, then your compass needle is pointing to your true north. This is the direction of your path of least resistance to be in alignment with your true self. You will begin to remember – say it again for those in the back: you re-member your truth. You are no longer a fragmented compartmentalized consciousness. But you are now moving toward the idea of re-joining, re-membering, re-collecting, yourself into who you actually are in the fullness of how you were designed to be. As you begin to wake up into who you actually are, you will then be understanding the principles upon how creation works through you. Now, as a human with free-will granted to you unconditionally, you have the latitude to life as complicated as you like. All sources of complication come from one thing only and that is a “belief” or a "definition" that is out of alignment with your true soul self. The only way you can hold on to a belief or definition of life or creation that is out of alignment with your true self is if that definition or belief is held in the unconscious part of you. As soon as you identify, define, and bring that belief into a conscious realization, you will soon sense where you are off-track. All that is out of alignment will feel or appear illogical. It will not fit with who you truly know yourself to be; furthermore, it will not make sense to hold on to it. You will see that it belongs to someone else. You will see that you have bought into the paradigm or program - one that came from parents, friends, society, loved ones, teachers, peers, etc.

So when you shine the light of your true consciousness onto a belief or definition that is out of alignment with who you truly are, you will notice that it makes no sense to hold on to it any more. If you do continue to hold on to it, longer than that moment of recognition, you must ask the question – why? Why would I hold on to something I know is illogical and out of alignment and makes no sense for who I really am?

Asking those questions is the precipice of establishing your sovereignty. You are now in full control of changing your reality and who you actually are.

Freedom is not about doing whatever you want. Real freedom is escaping the tyranny of the finite mind and the limiting body-consciousness. That is real freedom. R.J. Spina

Once you begin to start exploring this and maintain curiosity each day, you will notice synchronicities occurring in your life and the unfolding of desirable people and events appearing like magic.

Remember, there is no built-in meaning of "Life". There really is no automatic, built-in meaning to anything, actually. The meaning of life is for you to give it meaning. The meaning you give it determines what effect you get out of it. The effect you get out of it is based on how you define your reality.

So dream big and manage your belief system and you will find success!
