Isabelle Question #51

 

Hi Joshua,

So I've noticed that I have a few fears around receiving. I can easily share but if someone shares with me I tend to not take the offer. I'm sending that this is tied up with limiting beliefs based in fear and ego defending the persona? Maybe even worthiness? My favorite three indicators that I'm not aligned with the high perspective.

So let's dig. I would share my last candy bar on a dessert island. If I was offered someone's last bar, maybe I would think they are more deserving because they have the candy bar. I know that's the old approach, because if it was in my reality it is for me. Also we are all equally worthy.

Am I limiting receiving from the universe. My gut is saying "yes." Am I not allowing due to control?

Do I not accept from others because I want them to think of me as kind and not selfish? I think my gender has influenced my beliefs by the way I was taught woman are givers.

It is all so curious how these beliefs and fears manifested in my life about receiving. You've told us several times that this is a receiving universe.

With Love from your student,
Isabelle


Dear Isabelle,

The belief that you are not a good receiver is a false premise. Look at the life you have created, all that exists in your life, and all that you have attracted. You did not go out and take this stuff, you received it. You are a master receiver. You simply have the perception that you are not. Let's change that perception a bit and you will become even more receptive.

You are a creator, this is true. But the definition you use of a creator is not the same as the one we use. As a creator, you birth desires. That's step one. However, you can see that when you go out and try to manifest those desires on your own, things often don't work out as you thought they would. That's because once you have birthed the desire, all you can do is allow it to come to you. All you can do is receive. Once you think of the thing you want, you either allow it to come or resist it. There are no other options. You might fool yourself into believing that you created it, but all you ever did was figure out a way to allow it to unfold into your reality.

You might think that you created your daughter. That is not really true. You provided (through allowing) a portal through which your daughter emerged from her nonphysical state into a physical state. You might have had the desire to have a baby. This created an allowing state of being and you simply did what you were inspired to do. That is what allowing is. You made yourself ready and you laid the groundwork so that the baby could emerge based on your beliefs. And thus, your child chose you as her mother. You make yourself ready by moving into a state of allowing and the universe will choose you as the path of least resistance.

You received your child, your husband, your home, your job, us, this conversation, each of your friends, and everything else that exists in your reality. You are a master receiver. You are very good at allowing. Now, think of this subject from this new perspective we offer and you will not become a better receiver, you will more often allow yourself to ask for more and to allow more to come to you. That's all you are ever doing, and now that you know how the system works, all you have to do is alter your beliefs about the manifestation process and simply allow the flow to come as it will come in whatever form it takes. See yourself as the creator you are: the birther of desires and the allower of gifts.

With our love,
We are Joshua
