Co-Creation and Manifestation
Many have heard the formula that "you create your own reality." While this has become a mantra-like staple of New Age thought, it is an idea not well understood. When we find ourselves in a painful situation we may rather doubt that we really chose to experience such pain. No matter what we proclaim, when we become really miserable and uncomfortable we tend to see ourselves as victims of adverse circumstances or actions, feeling that we have been wronged by others, by life or by God. After all, who would have chosen to go through such an experience?
And yet, there are no victims, we do have free will, and we are the creators or our own reality. The choices, however, aren't necessarily conscious choices of our human mind. These choices may have been made in other lifetimes or before we entered this incarnation. Or they may have been made by our Higher Self in the interest of balancing karma or progressing in the school of life. Remember, comfort is not an important concept for our Higher Self but soul growth and expansion is.
It is the Higher Self that chooses a set of parents, relatives and circumstances, and it chooses a certain time and place of birth, thus setting in motion an astrological blueprint to be played out in the course of our lives. Although some may argue that this blueprint limits our choices, there is still ample room for choice all along the way. In fact, in every moment we determine the level of frequency of our thoughts and feelings and there are myriad opportunities to choose actions, thoughts, feelings and intentions. And each choice has consequences, whether they are limited to the subtle planes or manifest on the material plane. Rather than thinking in terms of "predetermination" it would be more fitting to speak of a "context" in which the human mind operates and chooses at each moment -- in concert and continuous communication with our Higher Self and the human minds and Higher Selves of others.
So far we have only spoken of choices, as if we had been placed in a giant supermarket and had the task of choosing our menu to the best of our abilities. But this is still a limited concept. To stay in the picture, consider that we are actually co-creating the supermarket itself! Let me try to explain this idea in a metaphor: The world around each individual is like a hologram or a movie projected from the center (the individual) onto a spherical screen around that individual. It is part of the grand scheme that we tend to have little awareness of our role as projectionist in the center of our own personal movie theater. Instead, we perceive things as going on "out there" on the screen like a child who gets caught up in a dramatic movie. In reality, the movie originates in the projectionist's booth, not on the screen where we see it happening.
In a previous chapter we stated that all of creation is vibration, or Light, and that we are indeed beings of Light. Keeping this fundamental premise in mind, let us continue with the "movie theater projectionist" metaphor: Instead of using light from a light bulb we use the Light coming from Source through our Higher Self. Instead of a set of mirrors, prisms and a strip of celluloid we use the human energy field, especially the chakras, which can be likened to prisms overlaid with a stack of transparencies or movie frames. Each chakra contains information imprinted upon it through present and past choices and experiences. We filter the Light coming from our Higher Self through the chakra system and project it onto the screen around us, thus creating our own personal movie experience.
To illustrate this process let me briefly describe the past life experiences of a 15-year-old male client of mine. This young man had an extensive history of injuries to the head through accidents, dog bites, etc. Initially he was reluctant to explore what may have been the underlying energetic pattern that resulted in repeated injuries to the same body part. With a little bit of encouragement he was ultimately willing to look into the matter (using his inner vision) and soon entered a time stream of a recent past life. In that lifetime he was a soldier who was killed on the battlefield by shrapnel which struck his head. He was able to receive very clear images and to go back to the time preceding his mortal injury. I asked him to perceive his energetic body in that lifetime and he noticed that the head region showed significant energetic disturbances even before he sustained the head injury (stemming from experiences we do not need to explain at this point). He then stated that it seemed as if the shrapnel had been magnetically attracted by the negativity in his head region. Thus, what looked like an accident from the outside was actually a manifestation of an energetic disturbance from within. The observation of this 15-year-old client is by far not singular. In fact, many of my clients are able to perceive repetitive patterns of energetic disturbances through several lifetimes, often resulting in injury or death in past lifes and repeated injuries of the same body region in the present life. This observation illustrates that we are indeed the creator of our experiences and that manifestation originates first on the subtle planes, which is one of the most central metaphysical tenets.
