Isabelle Question #49

 

Hi Joshua,

I was listening to a the podcast about potentiality. You've been pointing out that I've been playing it safe. That must be my fear to push past. I think I have made some strides on this, but I'm the gal that likes to ease into the pool. I have been setting my intentions to learn something new towards my driving purpose because I love learning! I feel the connection and support from my millions. I'm so happy and I am feeling the connection to all, that we are one.

My husband is going through a process shedding his fears, and I'm very calm and appreciative that he is going through it. I tell him that I'm happy for him. I tell him that his fears are limiting and to let them go. It is beautiful on the other side.

I can be in the moment and allow. I can ease my way and let things flow. Right? I can let go of my safety gradually. I don't have to rip off the band-aid. I can let the band-aid soak and the glue dissolve. Then have it gently float away. But I do have a strong desire to shed these limiting beliefs?

Your loving student,
Isabelle


Dear Isabelle,

What is your potentiality? It is infinite. It is limitless. Any limits placed on your potential are placed there by you. This is not a bad thing, this is a very good thing. You are the creator of your reality and you can throw yourself into the deep end, wade gently into the shallow end, or simply lay out in the sun. It is your choice because this is your potential we are talking about. We understand you know all about your comfort zone, your fears, your desires, and the expansion you intended to gain prior to your birth into this reality. But it doesn't matter. It's always up to you.

Do you seek to push the boundaries of your potential? Would you rather play it safe? What does playing it safe mean? It means that you expose yourself to less negative emotion. Why is that wrong? It is not. However, if you are playing it safe to avoid negative emotion, then you do not really appreciate the role of your emotional guidance system in the navigation of your reality. Your emotions are like the GPS in your car. They allow you to move toward that which you desire to experience.

Negative emotion is a signal alerting you to the presence of a limiting belief. You have limiting beliefs don't you? If you didn't, you would never feel negative emotion, because you would never succumb to irrational fear. If a fear presents itself in your reality, you have been alerted to the fact that some limiting belief you possess is strong enough to cause you to look at the subject in a way that is limited and is not real. It causes you to perceive danger in your reality and the danger is an illusion. Had you no limiting beliefs, you would see your reality as it really is.

So negative emotion helps you identify your limiting beliefs. Then again, you choose the conditions of your childhood so that you would be launched on a trajectory toward that which you intended to explore in this incarnation as Isabelle. If you chose your trajectory, you knew the trajectory could only be formed by your adoption of certain limiting (and beneficial) beliefs. You chose your limiting beliefs, and now in order to expand, you must face them, identify them, and question them. The analysis of your limiting beliefs will lead to the diminishment of those beliefs. Isn't it ironic that the limiting beliefs you have hold you apart from your desires, but they also created the launching pad for those desires in the first place?

So what is this life you are living? You come into physical reality as the fullest version of you that has ever existed and you knowingly cast yourself into an environment where you would adopt some limiting beliefs about yourself and then spend the rest of your life either succumbing to those beliefs in resistance or confronting those beliefs and moving through them to receive all that you desire. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Imagine giving yourself a handicap, like blindness, so that it would allow you to develop other qualities and birth specific desires. You will still be confronted by your disability, but in moving through it you will discover the way you experience that which you came here to explore. Succumbing to your disability and blaming it for the reason your life is not what you want it to be is the other option.

You have no disabilities other than the perceived limitations that you apply to yourself. Your limiting beliefs are just like blindness, deafness, or any other disability. You can use them to explore your reality as you intended (by not allowing them to limit you) or you can use them to support your belief in playing it safe. Neither option is wrong. Either option is valid. One is based in fear and one is based in love. You are a being of love and prior to your birth you intended to be limitless. Whatever you decide, make sure to base your decision on love and not on fear.

With our love,
We are Joshua
