CHANGE FROM A SPIRITUAL VIEWPOINT

There's a principle that exists and seems to be true that life is a mirror of what you project. If this is true then every time you change the way you view life, that new view of reality is reflected back to you. How quickly this change will manifest can vary.

Just like a magnet through our beliefs or whatever our "truth" is at the moment we seem to attract into our lives our most cherished dreams as well as our most horrible nightmares. The more conscious we become of what it is we are thinking and believing we can then see if what is happening in our lives is reflecting that belief. If we note that there does seem to be some correlation, then perhaps if we can change or shift our beliefs, we can draw into our lives a little more of the dream and a little less of the nightmare.

Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see." I think he had something there. :)
If you can change your point of view or even your point of reference, the reflection you get back will change.

The world IS a reflection of me.

We have to stop viewing the problems as problems and start seeing the solutions. We have to visualize them as we want them to manifest (leaving the details of how this is to come about to the Universe, to God, to the All That Is) and not focus on how things appear right now. We have to believe it is possible and feel how wonderful that will be when it happens. This doesn't mean we manipulate others and change others. It is only our perceptions and beliefs that we work on. As more and more people change polarization from the negative to the positive, from the nightmare to the dream, there is a huge shift in the consciousness of the planet.

Sometimes what changes is our unhappiness with what is even when things continue to be as they are. If we release no one but ourselves from the misery, that has got to be a step in the right direction. What we have done when we change our perception is that we have released another piece of what is holding things as they are and give those things more wiggle room to also change. This is especially true in personal relationships. When we change our negative perception of another person we free them up for change instead of continually seeing them in a way that keeps them locked into their present condition. But again, even if they don’t improve or seem happier or better off, our more loving, positive viewpoint of them will set us free from the suffering we have caused ourselves over their condition.

"Be the change you want to see."
"When you believe it, you will see it." Wayne Dyer

Counting your blessings is a form of changing your perspective. When you count your blessings you are focusing on what it is you DO have as opposed to focusing on your lack. The more you see yourself blessed the more blessed you will experience blessings. The more unfortunate you see yourself to be, the more unfortunate you will be. The more you love, the more love you will experience. The more you hate or are violent or negative or unloving, the more of this you will experience.

If you march AGAINST war you are focused on war and magnetize more of the same. If you march FOR peace, that subtle shift in your consciousness will do more to manifest peace in your life and in the world than it will to rid either you or the world of the misery or effects of war.

So, if at some point in your life you find yourself wanting to experience more love in your life, for example, you can focus on having that rather than lacking it. You will find yourself learning to tap the love within you and then giving it away and the more you find it and give it, the more you will have. For this gesture will be a step on faith that you have all the love you ever wanted, so much so that you have a never-ending supply to give, to share with others and still have more for yourself. Perhaps you will even find yourself being love personified rather than being engaged in the activity of giving and receiving it.
