In my last post to you, I told you that I’m learning some new info about Expectations that I wanted to share but that I WASN’T READY yet. Honestly, I was in Texas with my Dad helping him through some health challenges and I just didn’t have my act together at all.
But since that post, I have been deeply aware of my pronouncement to you and the world that “I’M NOT READY.” I have become increasingly conscious of how I have said things like that my whole life: “I don’t know,” “If only I could get a sign,” “Why can’t I hear my guidance?”, and “I just don’t feel ready yet.” My friend Kathy and I still laugh about an observation I made upon completing a beginning consciousness class: “It was so much easier when I had (God, Source, The Universe) to blame for my life. It’s hard to accept that I am responsible for this mess!”
I now truly believe and accept that I am responsible for what I create. But it is only recently that I have come to the deeper awareness of how my claims of not knowing, not being ready, not receiving guidance, are also creating my experience. I have a vivid memory of a talk given by Dr. Roger Teel in which he described interacting with his sons, who constantly said (as so many teenagers do), “I dunno…” His insightful question to them – and to me – was “Well, what would you know if you did know?”
That brings us to the crux of this post and my latest learning. My response to Dr. Roger’s question was, “I could make up something but it wouldn’t be the ‘right answer.’” I finally realize that in that sentence I always had the insight, I was just focused in the wrong spot. My attention has always been on getting the ‘right answer,’ which usually meant from an expert source external to me.
But my huge aha is that the real magic is in the ‘making it up,’ the other end of my response. Imagination, making it up, dreaming it – all are synonyms for Divine guidance. (Not the fearful imagination that creates bogeymen in the middle of the night, but rather the imagination that’s grounded in possibility and potential.)
My statement to you that I’M NOT READY was only true because I proclaimed it to be. So now and henceforth, I proclaim that I AM READY, I AM ALWAYS READY!
I’m making it up today, how about you?
