Isabelle Question #15

 

Dear Joshua,

Very curious, but I found myself getting annoyed at work. I sat in a meeting today with various departments and we were going over the gaps in our processes and the lack of understanding. The two head of the departments were acting dumb as to why the correct paperwork was not being used. I know this is minor, they feel that it is not their responsibility and they looked to me to resolve. I quickly corrected the assumption and sent the request to the correct person to update the necessary order forms for the company and write the communication. But why was I annoyed? Was it my persona? Was it the old approach that if I don't do it, it doesn't get done? That is so stupid and limiting LOL. Then 20 minutes later I got annoyed again at work - Yup manifestation events for me.

The sales rep agreed to bill the customer in Canadian dollars at a cap of $3,000, we are an American Company. This request also was never communicated. It will fall to me to figure this out, but the customer was not pleased that twice we billed them incorrectly. The thought ran through my mind, again folks are skirting responsibility. And I think again - that is so limiting and stupid of me to think like this. These events are being reflected to me. I have a limiting belief. The emotion is minor as it is just frustration. I'm thinking it has to do with the Persona and my Ego defending it?

Am I on the right track?

With Love,
Isabelle


Dear Isabelle,

You are correct, the cause of frustration is fear. The fear causes you to see a reality that does not exist. It is an illusion. You think things are going wrong and so you feel a negative emotion. If it's no big deal, then you feel low-intensity negative emotion. If there appears to be a big problem, you feel negative emotion with more intensity. However, it is always based on some irrational fear.

For instance, if someone did something that was annoying, the fear is minor, but there is still fear there. You believe that you are defined by certain aspects of your personality. You've been trained to be good. You have been trained to adopt certain character traits such as; punctuality, responsibility, dependability, humor, compassion, intelligence, etc. These traits become your persona and you define yourself by them. However, every single aspect of your persona is completely false. It is not true. You cannot be defined by such character traits. You are a limitless being of pure positive love and acceptance and as a limitless being, you are beyond definition. But this in not what you have been encouraged to believe. You believe that these things define you.

So there's a problem and even if it isn't your fault or responsibility, you feel fear because it brings up a question: "Maybe I'm not as good as I thought. Maybe I'm not as dependable, responsible, or capable. Maybe my boss will start to doubt me." It's just an irrational fear, however, it is a very important manifestation event and you have the chance to address it right here and right now, because this is resistance. You are resisting what you want from manifesting into your reality.

You have a limiting belief in this area. You do not need to know specifically what it is, just know there is resistance around it. It may be that you want to be seen as capable. When you have to talk to the client and explain the mistake, you can't feel capable. You feel incapable and since you define yourself as capable, you must rethink this idea. Instead of doing that, because that is emotionally painful, you might blame someone else, blame yourself for making a mistake, or come up with some other excuse. What you are failing to realize is that this entire event happened for you. You created it because you are holding onto some resistance. You have asked for something and in order for you to receive it, you must change into the version of you who is vibrationally ready for it when it comes. This event was created so that you could discover the source of resistance (the irrational fear) and process it so that it no longer affects your vibration.

If you do not process these fears, they will come up time and time again and get more and more noticeable so that you will have to pay attention to them. This is what causes stress. There is no stress inherent in your job. It is simply your habit of feeling fear and then not processing it. When you label yourself as a problem solver, you are attracting problems to solve. The problems that give you satisfaction are not problems at all. Those that bring up negative emotion are sources of stress unless you resolve the irrational fear. You cannot feel negative emotion without fear. You cannot lose your alignment to the higher perspective unless you feel fear. It's always fear and so now you must learn to process your fears as the arise.

What's the fear here? It doesn't really matter, because whatever it is, it is based on protecting the persona. If you had no persona, meaning you were living as the authentic version of you, you would not care about how you were perceived. There would be no need for the ego to defend the persona. You would be at ease and not feel fear and in doing so, you lay your ego to rest.

All you have to think about is why you feel the emotion. "I feel fear here because I think this mistake will reflect poorly on me. Is that true? No, everyone knows my value. I will accept that this is simply showing me that I have a limiting belief about how I am perceived. Since I cannot be defined by this job or what anyone thinks, I'm going to drop this concern over other people's perception of me. I know I am good and I do not need this job to prove that to anyone. If I lose this job, there will be many more waiting for me because as I become the authentic version of me, I'll be in high demand. I have power in alignment. One person in alignment is more powerful than a hundred people out of alignment. My only job is to remain in alignment and maintain an environment where everyone else has the opportunity to be aligned as much of the time as possible. The best way to remain in alignment is to eliminate fear. Without fear, I cannot come out of alignment. Without fear in the environment, other people will not be pushed out of their own alignment. I know that I can get the best results when I, and everyone else, is in alignment. Therefore, fear is no longer welcome in my workplace."

This is how you process fear and find the higher perspective. Once you find the higher perspective, you will find relief. You might even find excitement and exhilaration. If you can create an environment free from fear and help more people to maintain their own alignment, you will create the most productive work environment and that's where you will find the greatest satisfaction. It's not in the solving of problems, it's all about not needing the problems in the first place.

With our love,
We are Joshua
