Dear Joshua,
Fabulous answers. Thank you. I will start meditating in the morning before work to help me get centered for the day.
I've been reading a book, while on vacation, by someone who touches on topics you talk about : events are neutral in nature, our thoughts and beliefs around them make them "good or bad." He focuses solely on how to reduce the negative emotion around a situation (fear), and his method is to basically question our belief/thought and bring it to a place where we are aware that our thought might well not be the "truth" thereby reducing or eliminating the negative emotion around it.
I think the timing of staying with these people we have been staying with (the busy, leaning in, in alignment ones), has been perfect in terms of my one on one with you, where I get to experience how it can be when fear is reduced, or not present much. They have been an example of what I can practice (when feeling good), which is to say yes more often. For the adventure, the experiences. I'm wondering if it's not easier for them to see risk as adventure because they have each other to lean on - or would they both still be adventure seekers while flying solo?
I'm a bit surprised I came into contact with these people. I thought "like attracts like", and yet I'm seeing our energies as different (with their energetic doing and my more lazy "I'm so glad the day is over and I can relax". How did that happen ? What can I take away from it?
With love,
Kate
Dear Kate,
There is no coincidence. The timing of your trip is perfect and so is your rendezvous with these people. Because of your interaction with us, you are seeing some very positive aspects of the lifestyle they lead and their approach to life. Had you not risen to your present vibrational level, you could not have seen all of these positive aspects. They are beginning to inspire you. You are seeing a way of life that might be something you could adopt yourself. You are witnessing people who live more in love and less in fear.
From where you now stand, with your elevated perspective, you are beginning to realize that fear is not so necessary. You see them living their lives with less fear and you wonder how they do it. Were they simply born this way? Is it because they have each other to lean on? is it because they live in North America and therefore they have more opportunity? Is it due to the environment in which they live? Is it because of the values and optimism of their society? Certainly all of that plays into it to a degree, yet without their personal understanding of fear and love, they could not be living the life they do.
Yes, they live in an environment that appreciates risk and fearlessness. Yes, they have each other. Yes, they are freedom seekers. Yes, they intended to have these lives before they were born. But no, they are not special. Anyone can reduce fear in their lives. Anyone can become a freedom seeker and actually push past the fear. Anyone can be, do, and have whatever they want no matter where they come from.
You have quite an advantage over most people. You know more about the laws of the universe and the mechanism of physical reality than most everyone else. You can use the Law of Attraction for your benefit. You can see things from the higher perspective. You understand what's really going on here. You have us to talk to. All you have to do is push through your fears and insecurities and create the life you really want. That is a tremendous advantage indeed.
So, while you are in the presence of people like these, allow them to inspire you. Look for more examples of fearless freedom seekers. Know that you can live your life any way you want regardless of where you live, what you do, who you're in a relationship with, or what anyone else thinks. Be inspired to live your dreams. Be inspired to reduce your fears. Be inspired to analyze negative emotion. Be inspired to be who you really are rather than a limited version of yourself.
You are unconditionally loved for who you are being as well as for who you really are.
Joshua
