Just Imagine!

Imagine for a moment that your currrent dilemma is presenting you with an unnoticed opportunity which far exceeds the pain and impasse with which you are preoccupied. Just imagine that everything happens for a reason. Just realize that you could already be imagining what you don’t want. What would happen if you began to imagine what you do want? Imagine that this current dilemma really represents the next big step in your evolution. You have been here many times before in one form or another. You have made the same conditioned, reactive, self-defensive response many times before. Perhaps this is your opportunity to find out what your real dilemma is and to make a creative choice. Perhaps this is the time to get to know yourself at a much deeper level. Perhaps this is the time to transform your repetitious life pattern, your old story about yourself.

Today we have many tools and technologies for self-transformation available. We do not have to continue to use stone-age thinking and crude fight-or-flight responses. Usually people only advance about 5% in a whole lifetime. Probably 80% of the world never even heard of enlightenment, much less realizing this is the purpose of life. Mid-life crises present this choice in the guise of anxiety. Find out how you experience anxiety and what its life-saving meaning really is. For a beginning, the next time you get upset, use this formula: “Anxiety is unawareness.” Unawareness of what? (1) Of the fact that your story is creating your anxiety. (2) Unawareness of the big picture, of your Infinite Good.
