Allyson Question #64

 

Dear Joshua,

I don't think I shared a quick update around a manifestational event. You may recall I've asked questions around perceived issues with friends that I don't hear from and thus assume that something is wrong. Well, did I learn a lesson! I finally wrote (didn't call because I was too fearful) and I instantly got a call from my friend Sandy... "What is this strange letter I got from you? What are you talking about? I adore the heck out of you and nothing is wrong..."

I called her back and said - "I'm simply laughing at myself for making up such a story and assuming that since I hadn't heard from you that something was wrong. And, thank you for your loving friendship. You've taught me a very big lesson."

And she did. I laugh at myself as I begin to make an assumption about someone else's response or look or lack thereof ... and I recall that there is a high probability that I'm making something up! And, if not, a manifestation event is about to occur and perhaps - I will see my own reflection and vibration within the event.

So on goes the learning!
Allyson


Dear Allyson,

What an amazing example of how you create your own reality through your unique perception of you living in your own world. Do you realize now that there is a difference between the reality you perceive from your perspective and the real reality of your life? Wouldn't it be nice to know the difference between the two? Well, the universe has designed a mechanism to help you determine which reality is real and that is your emotional guidance system.

Let's imagine that the thought occurred to you to call your friend Sandy. As soon as you received the inspiration to call her, you felt fear. This is a common occurrence whenever you receive inspiration to act. You often immediately allow fear to enter your mind. In this case, you realized it had been a long time since you talked to her and that led to the fearful thought of why? Why had you not talked in so long? Why had she not called you sooner? Is she mad at you? Did you do something wrong? And the fear spirals until you are too scared to take action.

The desire is still strong and so you receive inspiration to write a letter. You take this action because it allows you to overcome your fears. Talking over the phone was so scary that you succumbed to your fears, even though this was the original inspiration. Do you see how the universe will keep inspiring you and even when you resist the inspiration, it will find new ways to inspire you so that you can move past your fears. It's a wonderful system.

The moment you felt the inspiration to call Sandy was the moment you began to shift your perspective. In that moment you were in a state of allowing and your perspective was perfectly aligned with the perspective of your inner self. Your inner self maintains its focus on the reality that best supports you in receiving all that you desire, no matter what those desires are. If you wanted to rob a bank, your inner self would guide you to the manifestation of that desire. You might receive the inspiration to watch bank robbery movies or investigate the floor plans of banks and the traffic patterns for the best escape routes. When these inspired thoughts come forth, you would also feel fear. What if you get caught? What if you get killed? What if you accidentally hurt someone? The difference is that you could say that these fears are rational (even though, in the great scheme of things, they are not really). The fears around your call to Sandy are certainly irrational.

So what is the key here? The key to navigating your way through physical reality is to understand how your emotional guidance system works and to analyze your emotions as they arise. There are only two possible emotions: love and fear. All positive emotions are based in love and all negative emotions are based in fear. If the emotion is negative, such as worry, sadness, doubt, sorrow, etc., it is a fear-based emotion and the fear behind it is either rational or irrational. If the fear is rational, it means that the inspired action has the potential to do you or others physical harm. That makes sense, doesn't it? If you have the inspiration to jump out of an airplane, you're certainly going to feel fear and that fear is certainly rational. In order to make the fear irrational, you use a device, such as a parachute or a tandem partner.

In the inspiration to call Sandy, you did not analyze the fear and realize that it was irrational. However, you did engage a device that allowed you to push through your fear. It was the letter. The device of the letter made it possible for you to push through your fear, just as the device of the parachute makes it possible for lots of people to skydive. The only difference here is that the parachute actually makes the fear of skydiving irrational, because the odds of dying are so low. You may experience a fear of flying and call that a rational fear, but we might offer the perspective that the safety record of modern aviation makes the fear of flying irrational, because the odds of personal injury or death are minute.

Here's exactly how your emotional guidance system works. You receive inspiration to take some action. The inspiration is designed to move you closer to becoming a vibrational match to whatever you desire. The inspiration that comes from a positive emotional state of being will always move you toward becoming the version of you who is ready for all that you want. You are not yet a match to the things and experiences that do not exist in your reality. There is a reason for that. Your vibration is not up to speed with the vibration of the version of you who would be vibrationally compatible with your desire. So you must undergo change. In this change that is to take place, you must encounter and overcome your fears. Your fears are your self-imposed limitations. They limit you from becoming the version of you who will be ready for the desire to manifest. Notice that all fears are simply self-imposed limitations. You put them in place and you keep them there. You alone are responsible for the acquisition and maintenance of each and every fear. You chose the environment of your youth because you knew these limitations would be adopted and now you spend your life working to expand by overcoming these fears.

What makes it even more challenging is that you were not taught about the meaning of your emotions as a child. Had you understood this system at an early age, you would be a master at analyzing and processing fear. When the inspiration called you to call Sandy, you would feel your fear fully and then analyze it. "If I call Sandy, will I die?" If the answer is yes, then your fear is rational and you would not call her. If the answer is no, you would realize that the fear is irrational and you would pick up the phone and make the call.

If you receive an idea or thought or inspiration to take action while in a positive emotional state of being, you can know for certain that it is somehow for your highest good. Of course, this call could have ended in Sandy telling you that she hated you and you would feel terrible. However, that would simply be a manifestation event designed to uncover yet another limiting belief based in fear and that would be for your highest good. But the vast majority of inspired thoughts will lead to fun and loving experiences that perfectly align with who you really are and what you truly want.

You are a being of love and you attract love. Everything is happening for you and nothing ever happens to you. You can stop worrying and ease your fears. Nothing serious is going on here. There is no need to control anything because it is all for your benefit and growth. When you are inspired to act, certainly you will feel a bit of fear, but you have the ability to analyze that fear and diminish its limiting effects by understanding the rationality of the fear. If the fear is irrational, then it is false and your perception of reality is obscured. You can't see clearly because the irrational fear is presenting an illusion of danger. It is just an illusion and your inner self will guide you through that illusion by the use of negative emotion, which is simply an indication that your perspective is off. Seek a higher perspective until you find a feeling of relief and you will regain your alignment with your inner self and see clearly once again.

"I want to call Sandy. I haven't heard from her in a while. I wonder what's wrong." Here's where the fear pops in. "I wonder if I did something to make her angry with me." Here's where the negative emotion is provided to you by your inner self. "Hold on. I feel negative emotion after thinking that I did something to make Sandy mad. That means there is a fear here. The fear is she will tell me something that will hurt my feelings. The fear is that I'll receive negative emotion that would be too painful for me. Well, I'm already experiencing negative emotion just at the thought that something might be wrong with me and my relationship with Sandy. So let's look at the fear.

"If I call Sandy, what might happen? She will say something that will either make me feel good or bad, but either way, I won't die, so the fear is irrational. If it's irrational, then it's false and I can push through the fear to do what I was inspired to do. Hold on a moment. There's one more thing to analyze. How was I feeling when I received the inspiration? I was feeling fine. That means the inspiration came while I was in a positive emotional state of being. Therefore, I know the action will lead me to becoming the version of me that is a vibrational match to my desire and it is for my highest good. So I can now understand that the fear is causing the illusion of danger and I can choose another perspective."

"Sandy and I have been friends for a long time. I love her and she loves me. We both have busy lives and sometimes we go through periods of time where we don't connect as often as we would like. I have not done anything wrong, so I'm going to choose the perspective that we are both fine and there's nothing to worry about. I am now going to move forward and make that call."

Your emotions are not your enemies and need not be feared. They are gifts from your inner self and they help you regain the perspective that will allow you to move toward becoming the version of you who is courageous enough to receive all that you have asked for.

With our love,
We are Joshua
