Change Your Reality By Changing Your State

Your life only reflects what you choose to believe and feel.

The world is not ultimately real, YOU ARE. An object appears within your consciousness only because you decide to look at it.

Consider the sleeping state: your attention is withdrawn from the sensory world, so it disappears.

And in dreams: we think we are a body on some adventure somewhere. But then we wake and know “it wasn’t real, only a dream.” The waking state is similar, unreal to the sleeping version of ourselves.

All possible states of reality are like this — a dream which reflects the particular way our attention is directed.

On the physical level, our attention is wherever our eyes are looking. If we want to see red, we look at something red. On the spiritual level, our attention is wherever our spiritual eye is looking. If you want to see something beautiful, look for something beautiful.

Therefore, the world reflects your intentions. If you don’t know what your deepest intentions in life are, then your world will appear external to you, and filled with chaos and suffering.

Consciously choosing (or realizing) your intentions is what reshapes the world. Your deepest desires are the savior, knocking at the door.

Who are you, and what do you want to be? Miserable? Small? Or LORD of your own experience?

Shift now into a more beautiful life by summoning from within the beliefs and feelings that would reflect the identity and world you truly desire.
