The question is not what you look at, but what you see. -Henry David Thoreau
I talked to a friend today who was concerned about the fact that he had attracted some of that lower vibrational “stuff” that occasionally shows up in our experience. He shared with me some of the specifics to which I immediately responded, “Ah, you have bugs in your eyes!” Since he hadn’t yet read my last post, I couldn’t help but laugh when he responded with, “HUH?”
I went on to share with my friend that even though he may not be where he would prefer to be at this moment that he was, in fact, exactly where he should be. The fact that something less desirable shows up in our experience is nothing to worry about. In fact, worrying about it is the last thing we should do as that will only attract more of it! The best approach to handling these kinds of situations is to remove yourself from the equation by mentally seeing yourself as an uninvolved party observing the events of your life from the vantage point of one who can see the past, present, and future all at once.
Here’s an example of how to get a mental picture of something like that. Imagine yourself looking down on a busy street from the third floor. You see someone walking down the street but because it’s so busy, you know that person can only see the people directly in front of them. From your vantage point, however, you can see where he is, where he’s been and the events that are happening in his wake, as well as things taking place along his path that he can’t currently see.
That person you are watching is you. You can watch the events you’ve been living without being attached to the feelings associated with them because you are now outside of those experiences. Watch what that person does, how he reacts to the situation and see if you can pick up on what it is he can learn from all of this. How can he apply the lessons of this experience in such a way that he no longer needs to experience it or anything like it?
Answering that question will help you clean the bugs from your eyes and, further, teach you more about attracting bug free experiences!
