Yes, You can. No, You can’t.
You decide it all.
There is a long game of sorts. Where what is happening on any particular day doesn’t matter much. Sure, you can completely transform your life in a single day. That’s not what I am talking about. I guess you could call it a momentum of sorts. A karmic momentum. This is where we are experiencing a fairly consistent life, day in and day out.
When we think about the “quantum” mirror, where the universe is just reflecting ourselves back to us, it can seem like nothing is changing much. I mean, if you stand in front of a mirror, your reflection “mirrors” you. If you don’t change, your reflection doesn’t change either. If we want to experience a different kind of life, it would serve us well to change who we are, energetically. Many spiritual teachers use affirmations and vision boards to help folks manifest what they want. Yet years, even decades, later … no thing has changed (in your reflection).
When I consciously started down my spiritual path, over 30 years ago, I had so much unresolved karmic energy within me. It was anger that was perhaps one of the most pronounced karma within my core energy. And thus, anger was one of the most pronounced reflections back to me. I attracted to myself an angry boss. Who was there to be my teacher. To mirror back to me my own anger. I had ignored my personal energy persona for decades. In other words, I wasn’t even trying to understand my life experiences, as a reflection of, well … me. Once I got cracked open, so to speak, I started paying a lot of attention to my energy. My Inner Chi.
But now my life is noticeably different. Even if I get triggered by unresolved mental and emotional energy, I can decide, within the moment, what it means to me. It is like we establish very long patterns of habits with our emotional energy. Perhaps even from our childhood. We can have a very constant and long-standing pattern of behavior regarding a particular emotion or feeling. You don’t have to wait until you have cleaned out the vast majority of your karma to change how you experience it. You can change how you experience your mental and emotional triggers … today.
As I have mentioned before, the feelings themselves do not have any skin in the game. In other words, your feelings don’t have a built-in meaning. Even though you can have decades of particular emotional reactions pent up in your psyche, you can change the meaning of the feeling(s) in an instant.
Say, perhaps, you always had a feeling of danger when you got triggered by an emotion. Maybe, when you first experienced it as a child, the household dynamics got intense. And, as a child with no serious emotional tools, you created an avoidance approach to the feeling(s). Where you would masterfully make sure that you would be safe if the intense emotions started showing themselves.
Fast forward several decades, and this same reactionary pattern has been playing itself out, in you, for years. Here is the gift. The feeling(s) don’t have a built-in meaning. So you can re-decide what a particular feeling means. You, as an adult, can break the old pattern/meaning with a new one. So instead of dropping into a re-action behavior, you can now tell/teach yourself that a new definition of a particular emotion means, “be careful but continue on.” Instead of “get out of here now and go hide.” You will notice the old reactions kick in, and yet, you can pause in the moment, and say,” I am safe. I can stay the course. I don’t have to re-act in the same way(s).” You can change your emotional relationships with your feelings today. This day.
When we are entrenched in reactive patterns, we “can’t” change the outcome, because we are not changing our emotional reactions. Yet, once we get the feel for our feelings, and teach ourselves how to pause and understand what is happening, we “can” change how we re-act in the moment. There is no built-in timeline for the transformation of ourselves. By allowing ourselves to feel the emotions behind our oldest patterns, and then decide a new meaning to them, we can transform our life today. We can have a big impact on how we experience our own “quantum” reflection(s) today as well. With the goal of ultimately releasing the pent-up subconscious emotional karma, we can then change the energetic reflection of ourselves. This is where lasting change can be found.
Pay attention to what you notice about your life. Pay attention to the “reality” the quantum mirror is always reflecting back to you. That is where you can change anything about your life. If you so choose.
