I used to find it very difficult to be present in the moment. I was more often focused on the past, my future prospects, or in a fantasy of what I thought would make me feel special and happy.
Spirit isn’t bound by the past.
The truth is the Higher Holy Spirit Self knows no precedence and isn’t bound by circumstances of any kind. Yet, I used to find myself dwelling in the past, going over and over events and situations looking for my mistakes and for whom to blame.
When I’m anchored in my heart’s desire to awaken, and to be of service to the Light, I don’t slip into expecting the past to reoccur over and over again. I’ve learned that dwelling in the past is often related to remembering a past hurt and feeling afraid to repeat it. When I choose to energize that feeling of fear with my attention I’ve surely lost my mind. All fear thoughts are insane and make me feel crazy.
It’s crazy for me to expect the future to be like the past – and yet, when I have opinions and judgments about the past, I’ll have fear about repeating it, because my judgments and opinions will be causing a repeat of the past so that I can heal and learn from it.
Still, divine nature is unprecedented, not based on circumstances or experiences of any kind. Spirit is lawful and cannot be circumvented. The Creative Law of the universe isn’t bound by space or time and neither am I. However, sometimes I lost my mind and slipped into thinking that I’m limited by whatever circumstance I’ve given my attention to.
My circumstances don’t limit me, it’s my thoughts about the past that produce a limiting experience.
If I’m feeling fearful, judgmental, opinionated, offended, angry or upset it means I’ve managed to drag the past with me and hold it right in front of me as the focus of my attention. In that moment I’ve lost my mind. I’ve literally lost control over my attention and that’s why I feel like a victim of circumstance.
When I’m no longer interested in mentally dwelling in the past I AM free of past circumstances repeating. It is then that I AM free to live in an unprecedented way, with an unprecedented future. I am available for quantum leaps only, and I do mean ONLY when I decide to be free of yesterday. I don’t waste time wondering how the healing will happen, my only job is to call forth a healing and ALLOW it to happen uninterrupted. I give the heavy lifting to the Holy Self and I AM free, right then. I don’t have to wait.
It’s my desire to live beyond precedence and play quantum leapfrog. It’s my strong intention to have a mind so facile, so present in the now moment that I’m always available for transcending precedent and circumstances in order to love fully, create fully and celebrate the glory of the Beloved fully. It’s my desire to have you join me so that we can play together and experience more Love, more Peace and more Joy!
