Focus and experience!!!???


This word focus seems to have some meaning and relevance for me lately. My focus is what appears in my life, what is happening, where I am. When I look at 'what is' I am now discovering it is only what I have been focusing on or putting my attention on. One of my favourite sayings lately is "that I am not setting everything in cement". I see what I see, I experience what is appearing or what I have been focusing on in the past, which could be 1 minute ago or 1 year ago, I decide how I feel about it now or I gauge my reaction to what I am seeing and 'I' choose to refocus. I get to decide if this is where I am at now; I get to decide if this is working for me now. In the past I may have taken a lot of notice of what others wanted for me, now I see I am the captain of my ship!

Recently I saw the movie 'Inception'. I could relate to what I considered to be powerful for metaphors. One reference was the power of the emotional bond between a child and parent, and how this can be used to form thoughts or beliefs in the child that will effect their actions. This, to me, is called conditioning. Another reference was made to our projections being people and events. I came out wondering if I am the dream of my soul or non-physical self, just like I am the dreamer of my dreams, which is what the movie is about.

Lately I have been using my dreams to solve things in my life. Again the flat mate. Before she left for the second time, I realised things weren't quite right between us. Before going to sleep I requested that the bond that was keeping us from moving on from each other be broken, or what needed to be solved between us to happen in my dream. Well I had a dream she was spooning me in my bed, feeling horrified about this experience I turned around and yelled at her to get out. I woke up going wow powerful stuff and that evening she informed me she was still panicked about money and needed to move into the house she had decided to move into 2 weeks before. I was amazed at the power of what happened with my request, very powerful stuff.

The reason I am mentioning this is if we do have so much power over creating through the dream state, and I reckon we have that same power in our daily lives that we are not exercising! This was true for me, yes you may say it was a coincidence, personally I don't believe in coincidences; I like to believe I live my life on purpose, doesn't mean I have control over it all. I believe if I keep focused on what I want, when I know what that is, life will orchestrate the details for it to happen. I believe I have lots of tools at my disposal to support this I just need to utalise them!

What do you want your dream life to be. Do you want to keep riding on the ghost train (which was fun by the way) or are you ready to create a different dream. Personally I am now deciding to have a ride on the joy bus, what about you!!??
