When you change the way you look at things,
the things you look at change.
The way you perceive things
is an extremely powerful tool
that will allow you to fully
bring the power of intention
into your life.
Wayne Dyer
Like a caterpillar, I have been incubating in a cocoon of darkness for several days. I am not a very patient person, so when a stream of light slipped through a slight crack in my isolation yesterday, I knew it would not be much longer before my emotional webbing would gently release me.
It seems there are steps we all transition through: unknowing, awareness, beckoned to action, and living in the light. It is a simple configuration that can be applied to many situations. When there is a presenting problem we are a victim until we realize there actually is a problem. We stop being a victim when we review our choices and take action on at least one. The movement towards correction empowers us and we then have the courage to move forward. This being accomplished we feel ourselves living a better life. There seems to be hope.
A mentor of mine saw all things biblical as symbols and templates. He believed the number three to be highly significant in diverse ways. So he encouraged me to be present with a problem for three days without worry, judgment, or thoughts of outcome. When I can be still, stay in the moment, and let the three days pass, there always seems to be an appropriate resolution waiting for me. Emotions are balanced and energies are restored.
As a human being, however, I 'know' these things, but I simply forget. I get caught up in the drama and the emotion then freeze, losing all ability to apply what I know to be true. This is part of the process of transitioning. It is symbolized by the spiral, as we continuously cycle in and out of experiences, learning the lessons we need to know.
I find myself telling friends to be gentle with themselves, to keep resources in place, and to nurture their souls. As I offer these words to others, I hear my inner voice saying, "Are you listening to this?"
Wayne Dyer is a favorite author and presenter of mine. I have been aware of him since 1967 and have enjoyed watching him unfold. He has stayed true to his spiritual path, helping thousands of others along the way. He encourages us to use perception as a tool and to keep our intentions pure.
Creative visualization enables us to do just that. If we mentally see ourselves being spiritually powerful, embracing diversity, and receiving the joys of life, our life will unfold more gracefully than not. We are less likely to be pulled into someone else's drama, become unbalanced, and lose our way.
If our intention is clear and we remain mindful, we are frequently supported by synchronicity and magical moments. If we get up in the morning and say, "Wow! This is going to be a great day," the intention usually holds true. We know the reverse is true as well.
There are so many surprise happenings in life when we hold our perceptions and intentions in place. Think of all of the 'accidental' meetings that occur that lead us right where we need to be.
Perceptions can be altered by previous unfortunate experiences and we must be certain to not let negative memories taint present opportunities. What you see is what you get. What you think becomes reality.
I have been trapped in a cocoon by a false perception in a current situation. It took three days for me to alter my perception and set a concise and clear intention. Today I can navigate through my day like the flight of a butterfly!
