When making a tough decision,
it's often difficult to trust one's instincts.
There are often many
important variables to consider, especially if the decision
involves a career choice, a relationship, or a large
purchase. One often asks for advice from trusted friends,
or perhaps a spouse or a parent, in order to help
decision-making. But it is always best to make up one's own
mind, without being swayed by advice from another.
Advice from another is
basically a report of what that other person has
experienced, and what that person has experienced is utterly
dependent upon that person's vibrational makeup. "Well when
I went in for my interview I only told them what they wanted
to hear and I got the job…" "Don't ever bring your car to
Bozo's Repair. They messed up my transmission really bad…
"Don't tell the truth if it will hurt someone's feelings. I
told my girlfriend I didn't like her new haircut and she got
really mad at me …"
All of these are true
experiences, but are basically a summary on the status of
someone else's vibration. A car repair shop that screwed up
your friend Joe's car doesn't have to mess yours up as
well. Joe's vibration was a match to a bollixed repair.
Your vibrational offering can be for a perfect repair. If
so, it wouldn't matter where you took your car, it would get
fixed correctly! Of course, if you pick up on your friend's
vibe and make it your own, then you will also have trouble.
Say you want to go white
water canoeing. You can listen to your friends' description
of their trip that included an overturned canoe, 2 broken
ribs and a broken arm. Or, you can simply make up your own
mind that your trip will be a blast.
Very often the advice we
receive is heartfelt and sincere. But all advice is usually
a précis of someone else's vibrational offering and the
universe's response to it. That doesn't apply to you!
People usually listen to the
experience of others carefully, to learn how another person
or organization responded to them. If a preponderance of
the responses to Bozo's Repair Shop are negative, then we
say Bozo's is a bad place to take our car and we go
somewhere else. But the experience of another has
absolutely nothing to do with the experience you might
have. So the best advice for someone looking for advice, is
to channel your thoughts and feelings in a positive
direction before taking action. The universe will begin
responding immediately to those thoughts and feelings, by
Law Of Attraction. You will then be paving the way
energetically for a good result.
People don't understand that
their thoughts and beliefs about reality determine the
conditions of their reality. And so, naturally, we seek
advice about how to behave in order to get the result we
want. An entire industry has developed around this idea.
Consulting companies abound which seek to advise other
people and organizations as to the best course of action.
The subject of statistics is based around the (false)
assumption that what comes to you is dependent upon the
decisions of others.
What comes to you in any area
of life is dependent only upon the choices you make
regarding it. Conditions will change around you in direct
response to your decisions. Your decisions determine
all of your actions.
What is a decision? Is it a
vaguely formulated wish that something might happen? Or is
it a strong, carefully thought out plan that really gets you
excited? The former is just an ephemeral hope. The latter is
a powerful vibrational orientation that can start the ball
rolling for you.
In the presence of Creative
Will, statistics has little meaning. Statistics broadly
assumes that human beings are equally weighted variables, a
mere piece in the jigsaw puzzle of life. Probabilities of
future behavior are generated based on past behavior (See "Cause
and Effect"). It has gotten to the point where we will
sometimes base our decisions based on a statistic! (e.g.,
Consumer Reports says 'an overwhelming 37% of drivers chose
the ZXCar as their favorite mid-size sedan'. So that's the
one we buy). But consciously deciding what is wanted and
holding to it is the best way to guarantee a good result.
Every particle in the
universe is part of a universe-wide field of consciousness
that responds subtly, but powerfully, to thought.
Interestingly, the universal field interfaces directly with
every life form on the planet. Every time you make a
decision, all of the energy in the universe begins to
respond to it. The power or strength of your signal
determines the strength of the responding signal. If your
belief is strong enough, it will result in a co–incident
event in the physical universe (a manifestation). If your
thoughts are vague and unformulated, your life appears to be
a random collection of probabilistic occurrences.
Science types might scoff.
“There is no demonstrable or measurable evidence of any such
subtle energy.” Well, that is only half true. In our
vibrational model of the universe, the universal field of
consciousness is the creative, directing principle of the
universe. Physical matter and energy is built up from the
product of the creative principle, thought. Thought is
clearly not measurable (at this time anyway). However, the
power of the universal field may be demonstrated on a
personal basis. It cannot be proven broadly. This is a
logical result of a universe in which consciousness
individually interfaces with the universal field. Individual
consciousness is sovereign in its own experience.
If one does not understand
the Law of Attraction, statistics can be helpful.
Statistics, research and advice from others can help one to
make choices and feel comfortable with them. But regardless
how the choice is made, it is your vibrational mix which
the universe will then respond to. In other words, it is
YOU always causing the universe to respond to you, whether
you take another's advice or not! You are always in
control.
Some go through an awful lot
of research and work, weighing the pros and cons of each
aspect of the decision, before making up their minds. A lot
of times the eventual choice is not the one they really
wanted in the first place! Since the universe will always
respond to your choices, no matter how they are made, you
can avoid a lot of work by just figuring out what you really
want and letting that decide your pattern of vibration.
The universe is always responding to your vibrational
signal, so why not get the universe to respond to something
you like? It's sort of funny when you think about it!
Watching another assiduously researching the purchase of a
new car, for instance, visiting multiple dealerships,
researching automotive reports, consulting friends, test
driving vehicles, finally after 3 weeks of exhaustive
effort, finally making a decision. Whew!!! Many people get
themselves into such a state of uncertainty after all of
this that the final choice often feels unsatisfactory. I’ve
often come home after a purchase and felt, “Darn! I should
have bought the other one.”
So save yourself a lot of
work. Figure out what you want, make a decision and align
your energy to it. If you do this you’ll not only have a
pleasant buying experience, but enjoy your purchase after
you come home with it.
