The old verses the new
Here I want to look at the direct relationship between the old reality and the new and see if I am able to spot where I am going wrong in relationship to keeping my mind focused on the old. In some cases it may be worthwhile taking up a new activity or doing something new like say becoming a vegetarian as a way of triggering a new line of behaviour that I associate to my new reality. An important point though is to make sure it is not too difficult so much so that I begin to desire to revert.
So lets identify contexts and compare behaviour, decisions, intentions, and actions in relation to each. The most important of these are intentions and actions.
The first context is income: In my current context I have cafe, coaching, shares, and currency trading, poker, cfds, options trading and buying and selling something small for a profit. All of these are legitimate and excellent ways to earn an income. The reason they are all failing is because I set out to learn the creative process so that I would be able to change the word earn to have. I don't want to earn an income, because it uses up my experiencing time, which makes it a conflict of interest. I am interested in experiencing life, technology, fun, metaphysics, peoples beliefs and my potential, and this takes time, hence the conflict for it takes the same time if not more as earning an income. In my new reality, income comes to me. I am not quite sure of all the ways that this is possible, but the effort on my part is not linked to it. Winning lotto multiple times, in multiple countries springs to mind as an option, and is certainly pegged as my first point of call.
Lets say that winning Big wed, and lotto powerball consequtively was the start to the income for my new reality. In order to make that leap into my new reality in relation to income, I need to stop all together with any thoughts of intention that have anything to do with my old reality's method of earning income. So no more thinking about currency trading, nor shares, because these are expansions of potential in my current reality. Even if I did it from a perspective of being in my new reality I would be missing the point as the purpose of investing in currency and shares usually is to make more money, but my new reality is about having an abundance of money, so much so that i have no need to "make more". My team produces so much money so often, that I cannot spend it all even if I wanted to go into full time spending. Therefore I do not need to pre occupy myself with investments etc. This then shows how the contents of the income context in each reality are incompatible. There can be only one.
Lets look at another context- accommodation. We both want to live in a beautiful spacious home. We have just created a expansion of potential in our current reality, and can see how we can create further. However we have both decided that what we really want is not in this reality. We have created a home which has many improvements on what we have now. It is more spacious, and homely, it has 3 bedrooms in total but but one is taken by another person for now. This works to keep our costs down. It is fully furnished. It has a spa pool, bbq and entertainment area, 3 TV's and security gating, and separate dining and lounge. It is a far cry from what we seek, but it is a major improvement on what we have. The key is to see that this is an improvement on what we have, and to not be attached to it. Our focus is on a home that is magnificient. Huge spacious rooms, central heating, giant modern spa, and large heated swimming pool. It is outside the realm of our current reality's earning potential. It has an abundance of rooms, it is modern, technologically advanced, secure, homely, with great views, lots of light, a magic kitchen, games room, and multiple living areas, study/library and incredible entertainment area, and home theatre. What is important like income is to recognize the differences between what are extensions of potential in my current reality and what is a new reality. This home is in the reality I seek to move into. The potential in my current reality is an improvement to what we have. An example: we could get a house sitting position in a super luxury home exactly what we desire to live in. But we would still actually be in our current reality because we do not "own" the idea. We may own the experience, but that doesn't shift us into another reality usually, because it has the potential to end. Also, an experience in one context doesn't constitute a change of reality, because I may well be in an executive home, but what am I still driving, and what income and I still on, and what do I do with my time? All of these components constitute a reality, so changing one on a temporary basis cannot change the whole. This is one time where the sum of the parts doesn't make the whole. You cannot change a reality one part at a time. This is an improvement in your current reality, it is not a new reality. New realities are cleaned out contexts, that start with all new fresh content simultaneously. What is the trigger to move to a new reality? This of course is the $64 million question.
The answer is me. I am the centre of my universe. All things revolve around me. If I want to change my reality, it has to come from me. So it will be my intention to change that makes it happen. If my intention is to change one context...then this is what will change. So my current reality will improve. But if i actually want to change completely then my focus must be on a total revamp of myself...my thinking...my intentions...my acceptance of what I am experiencing.
Next context: Transport. I see myself in a reality where I up grade my cars every year or so. I see myself flying first class to my destinations, and staying in suites of first class hotels. I see myself riding a bike as well, both motorbike and push bike, but as hobbies rather than transport. I see myself getting taxi's alot also, tour buses etc. One major difference is that I will not have my current bike, nor either of the current cars I now have. Also there are no cars that exist in my new reality that I would ever buy in my current reality.
My relationships context: I see myself in new friendships with people that are fun, interesting, wealthy enough to do the things with us so that money is not an issue, they are creative people, people who are organisers and participators. They are philosophical and patient, relaxed but respectful. They are generous and forgiving, flexible and motivated. I see my wife getting new "girlfriends", and also our relationship developing strongly over time. How does this differ from relationships in my current reality? It is more about how I relate to people. Like the Dove's and Eagles Story I read on Ernest de Cugnac's rub2neurons blog, there are I believe there are people who are takers and givers, or people who are parasites and people who wont say no. I believe there are positive thinkers/optimists and life sucking pessimists. The important difference between my current reality and my next is the type of person I am, and the type of people I will thereby attract. I have been more of a 'wont say no' type of person, and an optimist.
I am becoming a help someone to help themselves type of person, rather than the do it for them type. I can see this will be the topic of another post.
Next on my list is my Activities context: Here I see myself in full time experiencing mode. This world has so much to offer. There are so many fun things to do, and experiences to share. Metaphysics will still be a priority. Teaching what I know so that others can benefit will also be a priority. Networking with like minded people will also be a priority. Dinner parties, sailing, learning to do new things, scuba diving...this list is pretty much endless. Here my activities revolve around my income ability, and responsibilities to jobs. My time is not my own, as my priority is earning money first, then experiencing life with whatever time is left over when this is done. For the average person this is actually quite a bit- after work, weekends, annual holidays etc, but for me it is nearly nothing, as the jobs I currently have utilize every amount of available time, and any extra time I might be able to squeeze out of my day is spent attempting to expand my potential. So my new reality, my time is actually spent planning my next lot of experiences. I still have time lines such as what sort of experiences would I like to have this year, month, week and day, but money nor time is the reason why an experience is a year away. It is the time of year that I wish to go, or there is a particular event on such as a food and wine festival or a market or Christmas fair, or a gathering of like minded people at a seminar or workshop. I plan on monthly timelines for events that need less notice for participation such as dinner and show, or a picnic or bbq, or fancy dress party. I plan for dinner parties - what I will cook, who I would like to invite, what night of the week and what the theme of the evening will be. This is a major difference in reality planning. One is on expanding the potential of the current reality, and the other is on the detail of the experiences I am going to have.
Wealth Context: this was something I was preoccupied with because I didn't have it. My focus was always on what I wanted to have. Fact is in my new reality, I don't focus on wealth, it is what those that don't have see. Just like you never hear a wealthy person talk about a luxury house. They never use such terms. By using Luxury as an adjective you are creating a sense of separateness from the concept. A them who has and me who has not. This is not the pathway to my new reality. My new reality has many beautiful things in it, and many great experiences. That is all.
Health Context: This is something I have learnt early is not an issue if I am happy. I am more aware of being healthy now. I enjoy eating healthy food, and exercise is not a chore, it is a group of activities I do that I enjoy that turns out is good for my body.
Well there it is.
