Dear Joshua,
I am most definitely up for learning to focus and manage my vibration to glide through my fears and allow my true desires to come to me. After all, the energy that I have already invested in discovering this tells me that this is an aspect of reality I intended to explore. And explore it, I shall!
The past few days have been amazing and I have you to thank for that (I feel like I shifted quite a bit of resistance, thanks to you).
On Tuesday I woke up with a bad cold. My chest felt heavily congested. I had a cough and a sore throat. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I accepted it as an opportunity to give my body a break and pamper myself. So, on Tuesday and Wednesday, I stayed at home, comfortable and relaxed, and did whatever amount of work I was inspired to do. I turned out to be quite productive and churned out stuff that had been on my to do list for ages. Even though I was physically sick, I felt good and in the flow.
In just two days the cold was almost completely gone which felt like a bit of a miracle, considering the state I was in.
I managed to carry that positive energy and momentum of productivity back into the office by intending to stay in the moment and appreciate my work and the people I work with. This was reflected back to me in the feedback from people. My boss commented twice on how productive I was and the quality of my work, calling me "brilliant" a couple of times. An article I wrote on behalf of the CEO was accepted with no changes at all (practically unheard of!).
So, I have felt that great thrill of the allowing mode simply through appreciation. My question is, what trap should I avoid falling into now?
I also want to punctuate this with what happened on Thursday night. I had a very vivid nightmare that woke me up in the middle of the night and sent my adrenaline racing. I tried to meditate but I could not go back to sleep after that.
What is this nightmare telling me about my vibration?
With love,
Arnaud
Dear Arnaud,
You should never avoid traps. Falling into traps allows for excellent expansions and wonderful new explorations. We're being a bit silly here. We understand what you mean. We are simply trying to punctuate the reality that there are no traps in physical reality. If you fall into a trap, that trap was there to benefit you. In this reality, even traps are good things. The only trap you could ever fall into is the trap of believing that something is wrong.
You have a choice to make. Do you want to consider the cold to be right or wrong? Do you want to consider your time stuck in bed with a cold right or wrong? In your previous approach to life, you called such things wrong only in the ill-fated attempt to ensure that you do not get sick again. It's a life of control in a reality where you cannot control conditions, only your perspective.
Once a condition has occurred, it is real. It's fixed in reality. You have entered the dimension where this thing exists. Once you've opened the door, entered the room and closed the door behind you, you must admit that you are in the room. You must also admit that it's the right room, because it is impossible for you to enter a dimension unless you are a match to that exact dimension. Doesn't that make sense? Since you must be a vibrational match to whatever exists in your life, everything that exists, in its tiniest detail, is a perfect match to the vibration you have been offering and are currently offering. If you buy a plane ticket to Madrid and you arrive in Madrid, you are not surprised. You do not think it's wrong to be in Madrid. It makes perfect sense to you. If you find conditions that exist in your life right now, it's because you are a vibrational match to those conditions and they are right.
If your boss calls you brilliant, it's not because you are suddenly brilliant. It's because you were always brilliant and he is realizing this now. The only way he can possibly realize that you are brilliant is because you have realized it first. Your life is a reflection of how you view yourself. The more you view yourself as brilliant, the more obvious that fact will be to everyone else. The more you consider yourself inadequate in any way, the more obvious that illusion will be to everyone else as well.
Your nightmare is another story altogether. When you sleep, you return to your nonphysical home. When you wake, you get a glimpse of the action that occurred while you were in another realm. Since the illusion of reality is designed to keep you focused here on Earth, you have no reference for what you did in the nonphysical. So you simply organize it into earthly terms you can understand. Sometimes the dream makes sense and sometimes you perceive it as a nightmare. There's never anything wrong. It's all being worked out. It's all an exchange and manipulation of energy designed to move you to new vibrational levels and to sort things out, so to speak.
If you can take anything away from a dream, it's the overall feeling of the dream. Were you stressed by the dream? Then you are resisting some aspect of your life and the conditions that exist. Did you have fun with friends in your dream? Then there is little resistance around that. The more you understand that the conditions are simply a reflection of how you are feeling, you will find it easier to give up your resistance. The conditions are only here in this moment. In the next moment you will enter a new dimension with new conditions. You are shifting dimensions billions or trillions of times per second. You can move toward dimensions you prefer, but you can never escape dimensions you despise.
With our love,
We are Joshua
