You Are the Creator of Your Life

If someone told you that “YOU Are the Creator of Your Life”, and asked if you believed that statement, how would you respond?
I don’t mean that you create everything in life. But as in any aware relationship, you are responsible for your 1/2, and your 1/2 only. Let’s look at what you create and what you don’t create. The 1/2 that you don’t create; the buildings and cars and stuff out there, we call that a part of the FRAME of the world and we generally have some agreement around these things. You didn’t create the frame. In this 1/2, a.k.a. “the world out there”- things are as they are, and we don’t expend too much energy on them, other than in our opinions and beliefs about them [which is an "inside here" not an "out there"]
When I say You are the Creator of Your Life, the 1/2 I’m talking about is your emotional response to 2 things. One is to “what is out there” and the other is all of the responses, beliefs, habits and agreements about you in your mind. This content of your mind and all the emotional energy it generates, is where you are the creator. In this arena, you have been creating forever. As we begin to bring this process into the light of awareness, we can take new ground in our creations. Considered in this way, emotions are the key to the most important things in our lives. If things don’t show up on your emotional radar; if things don’t catch your interest, then they don’t matter much to you at all and we don’t need to concern ourselves with them. But for the things that show up in your life, particularly around people and relationships, and more importantly our interpretation of and response to people and relationships, and the emotions that we feel, this is the Creation that I am referring to.
In the area of emotion there is much more individual subjectivity around what we experience vs. the ‘frame’ of the world. What this really means is that you are the Creator of the Emotional Quality of everything that you perceive. And we have been creating in this way for years, but something begins to shift when we start to create with Awareness.
The starting point is always where we are now. What are the predominant emotions you experience through a day, a week, a month? Looking through the lens of emotion, we begin to see the way we have learned to create. If we don’t like what we see, then we can start to change things. But we need to see first the way we learned to create.
We are offering a day together on November 14th in CT to explore this in person. You Are the Creator of Your Life Flyer
If you can’t make this day in person, but are interested in what we find and how you can play in this new way, please be in touch and we’ll share our results and findings.
