Ask Yourself Why.

An image depicting a person being introspective.

Not long ago, just after I published the book MENTAGENESIS: Free Your Mind To Create Your Future! a lady began trolling my inspirational and motivational posts on Facebook. The theme of her rants was that she didn’t believe in the power of the mind to manifest. She detailed a long list of issues and problems in her life and claimed that things always went wrong for her. She even went so far as to say; “Everything I ever tried to do to better myself failed!” She listed a whole cavalcade of calamities that had been her life. Strangely, she never asked me to give advice, it seemed her mind was made up and she just wanted to rant and complain. And that precisely diagnosed her condition. Had she been curious about what I had to say my answer would have been simple.

Children are obsessed with fairness. Perhaps we were all born with the innate desire and belief that things should be fair. I don’t know what your parents told you when you wailed “That’s not fair!” but the bit of wisdom I received was “Life’s not fair so shuddup and eat your porridge!” (Okay we didn’t really eat porridge). And indeed, I have observed that to appearances, (and from most perspectives) life is very unfair. But is that the right thing to say if you want to raise your children to overcome the inequities endemic to our civilization? I think there’s a better response.

If you’re a person who is happy and fulfilled, people who aren’t will seek you out. I’ve observed that while some are genuinely seeking corrective advice, most just want to use you as a sounding board to vent their frustrations. You’ll spend innumerable hours listening to them recount the tragic tales of the injustices they’ve endured, while any advice you give them will go in one ear and promptly out the other- especially if you suggest their predicament is of their own making! Many people have a victim mentality. No one seems to grasp that where they are today is directly the result of the choices they made in the not to distant past. And few want to accept that in order to have a different tomorrow, they must take responsibility for their present choices and make course corrections today! And don’t even get me started on the Energy Vampires who refuse to confront their own shadows and low frequency. Instead, they latch on to someone else who is of higher vibration in an attempt to siphon off some good vibes that make them feel temporarily better. As a result of being drained by the above mentioned types of people, I’ve learned that a simple response can often reveal if anything I can say will be of value to them.

In my own life I’ve come to understand that the reality I experience is all on me. Every situation and person I encounter is there because of my choices and frequency of vibration; and this is also what determines how they act toward me. If I don’t like the reality I find myself living in, I have the power to change that reality by making different choices and by using my thoughts, imagination and intentions to create a new future. It doesn’t happen instantaneously. Many times we have to undo years of bad decisions and stinking thinking to extricate ourselves from current webs of entanglement. But the key is so simple that most people overlook it.

A quote from Marcus Aurelius: "Every moment I shape my destiny with a chisel. I am a carpenter of my own soul."

Understand that while you’re incarnated into physical form, the experience is all encompassing- and that’s by design. This total immersion causes you to get the most spiritual value from the experiences you have. You are individuated into a being who has the perception of being very limited and separate from others and from Source. But in actuality, this is only a temporary illusion. You have a higher self version that is your authentic self- and oh baby you are awesome, powerful and magnificent! By connecting you have direct access to all the wisdom and creative power of Universal Source and there’s nothing you can’t do or know! But you must do one simple thing when life doesn’t go your way.

When things don’t pan out the way you hoped, when you feel mistreated or unfairly rewarded for your labors, when your partner lets you down or your friend betrays you, when you feel stuck and like nothing is going right, when you’ve lost your faith in humanity and are ready to give up because you feel lost and all alone; please stop everything you’re doing and thinking for a moment. Disconnect from all the stimuli of the physical world, quiet your mind, step outside yourself, connect with your higher self and do that one simple thing we all forget to do. Ask yourself why.

One of the things I find the most humorous about being an author is when people challenge me with the question “Why should I read your book?” It’s as if they think they’d be doing me a favor. Perhaps the better question would be, who would benefit the most from reading MENTAGENESIS? The answer is, “anyone who is seriously ready to expand their consciousness, increase their ability to manifest their best reality and live a happy and fulfilled life!”
