When I say that our perceptions create our reality, I mean the more we untangle distortion and see things for what they are, the more we experience love and beauty rather than disharmony and fear. Our emotions seem to form the foundation of experience..it's the very nature of catalyst. Things bother us until we work with them enough until they no longer do. It was never the manifestation that was the issue, but our perception of it.
So it's not what we experience that moves us, but how it makes us feel that is the experience itself, since we are emotion. Hence the idea that we can change our perceptions and have the freedom to interpret reality in various ways, positive or negative. It's what Ra was trying to teach with the archetypal mind. Collectively, it would seem that emotional bonds would necessitate continued catalyst until that energy is no longer useful.."The proper role of the entity is in this density to experience all things desired, to then analyze, understand, and accept these experiences, distilling from them the love/light within them. Nothing shall be overcome. That which is not needed falls away."
"It is also to be noted that an adept is one which has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of other-selves. Whether this is done for service to others or service to self, it is a necessary part of the awakening of the adept. This freedom is seen by those not free as what you would call evil or black. The magic is recognized; the nature is often not."
I'm of the opinion that if we find relevant insight, it makes way for positive transformations externally. Are there ways in which we can serve externally and should we help others? Yes of course, but in general I think we burden ourselves way too much. And I think that's because we don't accept our desires and limitations.
Is it enough though to just change our perceptions and thoughts, or do some external circumstances simply need to be changed if we are to be well? Maybe I am underestimating the power of the mind. I don't know. I just struggle to believe that I or anyone for that matter can be well regardless of ANY circumstance, as long as a positive and balanced state of mind is maintained.
I too am tired of feeling burdened by the world and also guilty for not believing that I am 'doing enough to help'. What did you mean by not accepting our desires? You mean in general, or did you have something specific in mind?
