AN IMPORTANT REMINDER
by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles
http://eraofpeace.org
You have the ability to make a positive difference in the world. This has
been a roller-coaster time of miracles and challenges. It seems as
though these extreme experiences are being used to wake Humanity up at warp
speed. No matter how hard people may try, their I AM Presence is not
allowing them to push the snooze button in order to go back to sleep. It is
time for people everywhere to remember who they are and why they are on
Earth during this auspicious moment. Important changes are taking place, and
in spite of outer-world appearances, we are beginning to see evidence of
people in every walk of life reaching out to make a positive difference.
It seems that everyday we are being flooded with fear-based information
that reflects the dire possibilities of economic collapse, terrorist
attacks, war, environmental disasters, governmental and corporate
corruption, crime, violence and myriad other potential dangers. It is
very easy to become so overwhelmed with concern that we just wring our hands
and muddle through our days in a state of anxiety and desperation.
The majority of people feel helpless when it comes to changing their
lives or making a significant difference in the world. Everyone wants
things to get better, but most people don't truly believe they can
effectively assist in the process. Well, fortunately, nothing could be
further from the Truth. We are ALL cocreators. We are on Earth during this
unprecedented time for the explicit purpose of uniting with our
Father-Mother God and the Company of Heaven to cocreate the wonders of
Heaven on Earth.
Whether we consciously remember it or not, each and every one of us has
been preparing for a very long time to assist in this mission. We all
have unique skills and abilities that no one else on the planet possesses in
exactly the same way we do. We have volunteered to assist in helping to
change the old, obsolete behavior patterns that are responsible for the pain
and suffering Humanity is enduring. This is being brought to our attention
by our I AM Presence because the time for us to begin fulfilling our Divine
Missions is NOW!
Traumatic experiences cause us to regroup and to reevaluate how we are
living our lives. We have fallen into the pattern of using pain as our
motivator. As long as we are not in pain, we will just plod along, day after
day, without much thought. We halfheartedly go through the motions of doing
what we need to do to survive. We go to our jobs to make money to put food
on the table and a roof over our heads. We take care of our families’
physical needs, and with the little bit of time that is left, we try to take
care of ourselves.
When a tragedy happens, however, we are forced to put our lives into
perspective. We stop for a moment and focus on what really matters to
us. If we use the tragic event to change our mode of operation and to put
more meaning in our lives, then something good will come out of even the
most horrific experience.
The tragic events of September 11, 2001, Hurricane Katrina, the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan, the housing debacle, the economic meltdown, and
several other challenging events have transformed our lives forever. We
have a choice as to whether we allow catastrophes to catapult us into lives
of fear and dread or whether we use those experiences to motivate us into
creating lives of fulfillment and joy. We have the ability to do both of
those things; the path we choose is up to us.
The only reason we have not been cocreating lives of joy, happiness,
prosperity, loving relationships, financially and creatively rewarding jobs,
vibrant health, fulfillment, enlightenment and every other positive
experience is because we have forgotten that we can.
Not only can we create the lives we dream of, this is our purpose and
reason for being. We are Children of God, and we have been invested with
the gift of free will. Our thoughts and feelings are creative. Whatever we
focus our thoughts, words, actions, and feelings on, we bring into physical
form. It is time for us to remember this Divine Truth and for us to
consciously choose to create the lives we want instead of inadvertently
manifesting, through our fears, the experiences we do not want.
It is time for us to reclaim our Divine Birthrights and to fulfill our
Divine Potentials. As we take charge of our lives, we will be effective
examples for our loved ones and friends. We will be positive catalysts, and
the results of our efforts will be exponential. We are all One, and the
Universal Law is “As I Am lifted up, ALL Life is lifted up with me.” We can
each make a positive difference. As we change our lives, we will change the
direction for Humanity and for all Life evolving on this planet. Never
underestimate your ability to be a powerful force of good on this planet.
You have been preparing for a very long time to fulfill the mission you
agreed to accomplish in this lifetime. Not only do you have the skill,
talent, wisdom, courage and strength to accomplish your mission, our
Father-Mother God and the entire Company of Heaven are standing in readiness
eagerly awaiting the opportunity to assist you. These selfless Beings of
Light are with you now. From inner levels they guide and protect you, and
they intervene to help you every time you ask them to. You are never alone.
If you ever feel doubtful that you have the power to make a positive
difference in this world, just remember the entire Company of Heaven is
there to help you every time you ask for their assistance.
When you begin to create a plan to make a positive difference in your life,
the first step is to take a good look at your life as it exists right now.
In order to change your life, you must first be aware of what presently
exists. So take some time to evaluate your life as an objective observer.
This is not a time to berate, criticize, or condemn yourself for past
mistakes. That only adds more negative energy to the situation. The purpose
of this evaluation is to help you see what it is you like about your life,
and what it is you would like to change. Usually people know their lives are
not what they want them to be, and they may be aware of some major problems,
such as finances or health, but they have never actually taken the time to
evaluate their overall lives. This is a crucial step toward making a
positive difference, so invest the time to take a thorough inventory of your
life.
In order for you to succeed in transforming your life, you need to plan
where you are going. You need to have objectives and goals. Most people
spend so much time worrying and dwelling on the things that they do not want
in their lives that they have not taken the time to figure out what they
really do want. Remember, what you think about, what you hold in your mind
and put your attention and energy into, you draw into your life. So it is
time to stop worrying about the things that you do not want and start
focusing on the things that you do want.
Patterns of thinking and emotional responses are usually habits you have
allowed yourself to develop without much conscious awareness. Now that you
have decided to take charge of your life, you no longer need to just muddle
through the day. Instead, you can deliberately control your thoughts, words,
actions, and feelings. Since it is a natural law that what you put your
attention and energy into, you draw into your life. It is only logical that
you take the steps necessary to let go of destructive programming and begin
creating for yourself a fulfilling, happy, harmonious, abundant, and
peaceful life.
Most people rarely feel that they are negative; so one of the things I have
them do is keep a scratch tally for an entire week of every negative thought
or feeling they experience. Notice I said EVERY negative thought or feeling.
This includes the little, trivial, petty things that you allow to pop into
your mind, such as the person that pulls in front of your car that you think
is a jerk, or the service you received that you feel was lousy, or the lady
at the supermarket that you think is a slob, or the disgust you have for
yourself for overeating, or the anger you feel if the car breaks down, and
on and on.
My experience has been that by the end of the week even so-called positive
people have several sheets of tally marks and are astounded at how often
they were negative and shocked at how oblivious they were about their
negative thinking. So, the next step toward your decision to make a positive
difference in the world is to observe your daily responses for an entire
week. Pay very close attention to your thoughts and feelings and keep a
simple scratch tally of every negative thought or feeling you have. Do not
empower the negative thought by writing it down, just keep a scratch tally
of it.
This is a very valuable exercise because it clearly shows how many times
every single day you are misqualifying energy without even realizing it.
Many people are wallowing in the poor me syndrome. They feel that they are
really good people, but all of these terrible things keep happening to them
anyway. What this exercise reveals is that we may not be doing
catastrophically negative things like mugging people or robbing a bank, but
we are often nickel-and-dimeing ourselves to death with trivial pettiness.
Once you complete this exercise and acknowledge that you may not be
controlling your thoughts or feelings, but just allowing them to happen, you
can move on to the next step of changing those bad habits and begin to take
control of your thoughts, words, and deeds.
Each time you put forth the effort to deliberately program yourself into
constructive thinking, the stronger you will become and the more natural the
positive response will be. Before you know it, your pattern of thinking will
automatically be positive instead of negative, and you will have established
a new constructive habit.
While you are going through this process of gaining control of your thoughts
and feelings, you need to be tolerant and forgiving of yourself. If you find
negative thinking or negative feelings creeping into your consciousness, you
need to stop, empty your mind of the negative thought or feeling, take a
deep breath, regroup, and then look for the positive side of the situation
you are dealing with. Don't give any more power to the negative thought by
berating or condemning yourself for the transgression. Just let it go, flood
it with the Violet Flame of Forgiveness, and focus on the positive side of
the situation, no matter how small.
Begin your new habit of positive thinking by looking for the positive side
of every person, place, condition, or thing you encounter. The general rule
is that we can easily spot the flaws in other people, but unless someone is
a genius or looks like a Greek God or Goddess, we rarely notice their
positive attributes. In this exercise you must go out of your way to search
for something good in every single person, place, condition, and thing you
come in contact with. Sometimes this is a real challenge. Some people you
know may seem so objectionable that the only thing you will be able to
appreciate about them is the color of their socks, but you must find
something good in every instance.
After practicing this for a while, you will come to the realization that, no
matter how bad things seem or how degenerate a person may appear, there is a
spark of hope in every situation and a spark of Light in every person. By
consciously putting your attention on that one redeeming quality, rather
than giving momentum and power to the negative, you can turn that
destructive situation into a positive experience, and you can often give the
negative person the incentive he or she needs to find a better way of
behaving. This may sound too good to be true, but I assure you that this is
the natural Law of Attraction, and it is as accurate and as workable as the
Laws of Mathematics, Music, Physics, or any other science.
The next exercise I want to share with you is designed to help you reprogram
your thinking with positive affirmations. People who have used positive
affirmations have always known that they work, but they have rarely
understood exactly why. Now, with more and more research, we are learning
how the process works.
Through positive affirmations, we can deliberately send forth constructive
thoughtforms that will accumulate additional positive energy and return to
us, bringing with them what we are affirming. The difference between a
prayer and an affirmation is that in prayer we are usually humbly asking for
something, and in an affirmation we are actually invoking God and our I AM
Presence to command Universal Light substance to flow through us
constructively to create whatever perfection it is that we are affirming.
There is another very important reason why affirmations work. When we make a
positive affirmation, we begin with the words I AM. These two words invoke
our I AM Presence and connect us directly to our omniscient, omnipotent,
omnipresent Father-Mother God, All That Is. This all encompassing Presence
of God is the Universal Source of All Life.
Everything in the Universe is comprised of electronic Light substance
vibrating at different frequencies with various densities. The words I AM
reflect the all-encompassing Oneness of all Life. “I” represents Alpha, the
beginning, “AM” represents Omega or the ending, meaning our Father-Mother
God, the Universal Source of All Life, is the beginning and the ending of
all that exists.
When we invoke the Light of God by using the words I AM the Light
automatically responds. It flows through our thoughts, words, actions, and
feelings and obeys our affirmations.
Affirmations are designed to help us begin reprogramming our negative
thinking into positive thinking. The longer energy is accustomed to flowing
through the brain in a particular pattern, the easier it is to just keep
flowing in the same pattern. For instance, if we are used to being critical
or judgmental of others, that is a pattern we have developed and the energy
flows very easily into that groove of the brain. If we want to change that
habit, we have to consciously begin developing a new groove through which
this energy can flow. The more we withhold the energy from the negative,
critical pattern and send it forth through the new constructive pattern, the
sooner we will have changed the bad habit.
When we first begin observing our behavioral responses, we are usually
shocked and a little overwhelmed at how ingrained our trivial, petty
patterns are, and it seems as though it will be a monumental task to
overcome them. However, once you begin to consciously take control of your
thoughts, words, actions, and feelings, the changes will take place much
more quickly than you can envision at this time. Once you really develop the
habit of positive thinking, the critical, petty, trivial things that so
easily pop into your mind now will not be part of your consciousness.
With positive affirmations, we form new constructive grooves in our thinking
patterns. For this reason it is important to read your affirmations the
first thing in the morning and the last thing before going to bed at night.
The exercise in the morning will begin the constructive flow of energy
through the brain and set your attitude for the new day.
The exercise at night will help by drawing the positive affirmations into
your subconscious mind; so, you can reprogram yourself while you sleep, as
in sleep learning. Research is proving that what we think about at night
before we go to sleep is carried into the subconscious mind, so it is a good
idea to put your attention on something constructive. For heaven’s sake,
don't watch the news just before going to sleep.
