Creating a Different Reality

In recent months, I have received several emails from website readers telling me solemnly and regretfully that they will not be able to afford to come to Lapland for 2012, not that I have yet issued any invitation to anyone nor so much as hinted at what the cost might be. In fact the Koruna project does not officially come into being until May 2009 and until then, far from asking people to commit, I am pushing them away and encouraging them to try and find out what is their true relationship with the aims of this project. This will be achieved not through surfing the Internet, collecting information and chatting -this may simply be displacement activity- but by being alone with self.

Why then are people wasting my time and their own giving out negative, unsolicited statements about a future which is still in its formative stage? Is it a plea for attention or help, or is it a way of justifying to self the habit of inertia? Whatever the reason it is an insight into the way we create the reality in which we then have to live.

If we properly understood how with each non-constructive word we utter or write, each negative thought we allow to settle like soot in our minds, we are shaping our futures, we would surely talk far less than we do. All of us could do with being far more aware than we are of what we are saying when we are saying it. But this is the age of mobile phones and Internet chatrooms, and uncomfortable silences are precisely what we are trying to fill. We say, write and repeat things that we do not truly believe; things that we do not know whether we believe or not; things that others have told us to believe; things that we believe because we have never challenged ourselves; and things that are without value to anyone in any language and which are not so entertaining when we meet with them in physical form. I know a woman who writes murder stories. She is afraid of everyone and everything. I tell her that she is a victim of the world she has created, but she does not get it.

We are living in realities in which the sweepings from the floor’s lifetimes in the form of our own and other people’s negativity,  give us (to borrow Roger Water’s memorable line from The Wall) ‘thirteen channels of shit to tune into’. At least thirteen, and they are all in our heads.

If realities are made in such an unconscious way, just consider what might be the result if we made them consciously. If we had clear intentions, talked less, spoke positively when we did talk and were conscious of what we are saying.

The shamans of old Lapland used sound in a way that we Westerners have largely forgotten although the Nichiren Buddhist tradition has re introduced it to the West, and various New Age techniques have played around the edges of this field of knowledge.

But, in fact, the only knowledge we need is that which could make us willing to try this way of being until it proves itself to us. Try it for just a day and then use your imagination to work out for yourself what this might mean over a period of time.

There are a handful of years left before 2012.  Instead of hammering nails into the box lid why not use the time to create a positive outcome for yourself? 

Do this every day and  it will eventually overlay whatever your thirteen channels of shit want to throw up  because these impressions have been formed by default i.e., in the absence of consciousness and they are no match for directed power  generated by a clear intention.
