The past does not determine the present or the future…unless we choose to make it so. It would seem that as a result of all the programming via family, community, society, and culture that this is simply not true. Most believe that the past guarantees the present and the future, that we are victims of the choices and mistakes made prior to the now. Certainly there is influence…but, a guarantee…no!
The moment is the point of choice where all possibilities exist. In each expansive moment we can jettison the past and choose a new pathway and way of being. We are that powerful. The load is made heavy by the energetic debris we carry of our past choices, however. This unprocessed energetic memory influences our clarity and ability to see, even consider, alternatives to patterns and routine beliefs. It appears, from this perspective, and, under this influence, that the past just keeps repeating.
When a leaf moves down the mountain stream it often gets caught in an eddy and goes round and round until it is either released by the influx of more water, or it gradually ends up prisoner to the familiar trapped area. And since there is movement in the eddy it feels like there is progress. It is just the same familiar, and gradually comfortable place. All the while the infinite possibility flows by in the unencumbered main channel.
The past is an eddy. It is known, familiar, and it seems like it is moving. It is seductive, it is known. Surely, there is information there…information that requires examination and adjustment before it is applied to the now. This is the gift: that we are given a host of experiences from which to learn from and adjust our next step. For it is only in the now that life is lived and the future is set into motion. We pull from these experiences to give wisdom and clarity to decide in this moment the path we desire.
In each moment we are reborn, fresh with infinite possibility. That which has been in no way defines us. Mistakes are tools of awareness and mid course correction. The Multi-verse has bequeathed us with a Magic Slate where you write your experience, learn from it, and then lift the plastic cover to erase it and reveal a clean page of infinite possibility. Our past is a story to draw from, a potential screenplay for a blockbuster hit. Use it to assist you in fully experiencing this treasure of a moment. Remember…it is not who you are or ever have been.
Make a time line of your life up until now. Put in the key and pivotal events first. Then go back and put in the events that are brought to mind. Set it aside for the rest of the day.You are going to let it all percolate through sleep and the dream state.
Spend time today with the pivotal events. Ask what did I learn from this? What shift did it cause in my life? Take the first thought and make a list of the learnings. Do this for each of the major pivotal events.
Now spend time and do the same for the other events brought to mind. When you are done you will have a powerful list of learnings to examine.
Now look at your list and decide which of the learnings are still relevant. Perhaps new information or experience has changed your perspective or understanding of that learning. Make a list of what comes out of this. Here is the treasure of the past experiences, that which has relevance.
Begin to reflect on the life you desire. What are some of the forms you would like to have manifest. Make a list. With each explore the steps or actions necessary to put it in motion. Choose one intention and apply it to your now. Initiate the flow by your decision in action. This will prompt the Multiverse to start directing people and experience to you in alignment with the intention. It is up to you to recognize them.
Each day wake up and intend your openness to the infinite possibility. Ask the Multiverse to surprise you. Use phrases like all this or something more magnificent. 10 times a day ask the question, “ How does it get any better than this?”. Invite an ever increasing display of abundance and delight to flow easily into your moments. Then enjoy it!
