"What you avoid or resist, you will tend to see as evil. To the extent that an individual insists on only being aware of the light or the good, he or she will constantly be shadowed by the dark or the bad."
~Laurence G. Boldt~
How often do you resist in your life what feels negative or bad? Or even judge another persons experience and conclude that they have less or are less because it doesn't fit into your perception of what you would consider "good"? The experiences that we have that we feel are negative or bad, brings with them gifts that must be excavated. The saying "every cloud has a silver lining" is only true to the extent that you are willing to look at the cloud. How can we know and feel real joy if we have never had a painful experience? How can we ever know and feel love if we keep a wall around our hearts insisting that the risk of pain is too great. How can we have the real feeling and experience of abundance if we play it safe (like staying in a job that we don't like) and never allow ourselves to express our talents and abilities authentically? Eckhart Tolle tells us that what we resist will persist. I have found that by making peace with negative or bad experiences (and it is all a matter of perception!) will move us out of them quicker. The more I practice this the more I am able to trust this process. This is a matter of consciously creating my life. Most people don't know how to do that because in our youth we were taught the beliefs of our parents, teachers and other "authoritative" figures. They passed along their limited beliefs by telling us what wouldn't be possible. We are now awakening to huge possibilities because of the consciousness movement. It's now a known fact that we create our reality! The Tao Of Abundance is an excellent place to start so you can take a look at your perceptions and not only question some of them but literally transform them!
