"You create your reality"

[anagogy]

I have been thinking about this constantly the past two months, viewing my environment as a pure reflection of my self. I am creating the reality I live in. So what about things like rape? How is the rape victim creating that reality. Or fighting parents. What does one do to love the conflict.

I'll take a stab, this is something I like to think about.

People don't deliberately create negative events for themselves while incarnate (from a discarnate perspective, it is another matter entirely). In otherwords, while our consciousness *does* generate our reality, we do not, at the 3rd density level of existence, have complete and total conscious control over our consciousness, so naturally, our desires do not perfectly unfold in our experience. In fact, oftentimes the precise opposite occurs. But that is the spiritual journey: incarnate into a realm with no memory of who you really are, and look into the mirror of physicality and see the visceral and tangible reflection of your dominantly activated vibrations. If the reflection that you see does not agree with who you feel you really are, we have the opportunity to search within ourselves and gradually uncover the subtle distortions of thought, belief, or attention that have coalesced this undesirable reality about our consciousness.

Similarly, a rape victim does not deliberately attract rape, rather, they simply, for whatever reason, get out of alignment with who they really are. We never truly know the contents of another's mind but when someone dwells in emotional negativity for a prolonged period of time it is because their thoughts, or attention, are on what they perceive to be "undesirable circumstances". Negative emotions are always attached to thoughts, even if they are extremely subtle. Wherever you place your attention activates a vibration. You are strumming a vibrational cord. That cord either resonates with your spiritual complex, or it does not, or it sort of does, or it sort of doesn't (lukewarm resonance). You perceive that resonance, or lack thereof, as emotion. That is your translation of it. Emotion is your spiritual compass.

So when you dwell on "what is not wanted", you tend to attract more of that. Your thoughts are magnets for experience, and experiences can be anything: people, places, events, magazine articles, internet sites, whatever. If our thoughts were pure and noncontradicted, the experiential manifestation would be also, however usually at our level, they are not, so often we just get a sort of mish-mash of experience. But whatever we are experiencing, it is a perfect vibrational match to the resonance of our thoughts.

You are constantly, and unconsciously (and to some extent consciously), coming to new and amended preferences all the time. You experience something negative, and you desire the opposite, whether you realize it or not. So at the spiritual level, you know EXACTLY what you want. The contrast (what I like to call "shitty life experiences") is constantly defining and clarifying who we really are at the spiritual level. The thing is though that as you build up this massive spiritual reservoir of "what is wanted", you are also, simultaneously building up and giving definition to its exact opposite. That is duality. Can't have one without the other. Universal law. The more you know what you want, the more you know what you don't want. I bring that up in regards to your question about "victims" because when you get REALLY out of alignment with what is wanted, you get REALLY into alignment with what is NOT wanted. See how that works? So, things like rape (and other horrible shadow things) are the unpleasant negative bounty one reaps of consistently not following their bliss.

The main thing is: you can't spiritually stagnate. Everything is snowballing, and building up momentum, whether it is good, or whether it is bad. Everything you experience is just an indicator, or thermometer, of your consistently activated vibes. Pain is always a call for attention to something. It is your being's way of saying, "you are going against the flow"

This is also part of why we have shortened life spans, because as much progress as humanity has made, we are still too negative to be allowed the intensity of manifestations that results from hundreds of years of this vibrational snowballing effect.

Ra: The shortening of the life span is a distortion of the Law of One which suggests that an entity not receive more experience in more intensity than it may bear. This is only in effect upon an individual level and does not hold sway over planetary or social complexes.

Thus the shortened life span is due to the necessity for removing an entity from the intensity of experience which ensues when wisdom and love are, having been rejected, reflected back into the consciousness of the Creator without being accepted as part of the self, this then causing the entity to have the need for healing and for much evaluation of the incarnation. 

If one gets really out of alignment, the higher self basically hits the reset button to save you from the nightmare of coming fully into alignment with the opposite of well being (which would eventually happen once enough strength of negative momentum had coalesced).

So how to love the conflict? You have to look for aspects in any experience to appreciate. In any negative experience ask yourself, "what lessons can I take away from this?" You have to distill the positivity from it. You have to do the emotional alchemy. Accept what is, and use that as a place to pivot your thoughts onto what you want to be experiencing, and try to find examples, no matter how small, of areas where you are ALREADY experiencing that. You have to find a way of legitimately seeing the perfection, in the present moment.

That is the spiritual work. And that is precisely how you begin to deactivate an unwanted vibration, and activate a wanted vibration. You have to find a way of gently, and gradually, moving your attention from what is going wrong, to what is going right. You could have 99 things going wrong in your life, and 1 thing going right, but if you could keep more of your attention on "what is going right", it would slowly, but surely, pull the other 99 things into the "whats going right" camp. It is a simple thing, but its hard because it goes against our biological and sociological programming.
