Self-Centering in Mass Events

by Sheila Greer

One of my friends has inspired me to take a few minutes out of my indignation over what is happening to our country¹ to find my center and relax and let it go. She has been getting angry, and so have a lot of us who have worked very hard to leave a better world for our children. She took some steps to make her opinions known, and she made the choice to trust and let go of the things she has no control over. Then she set out to find something she can control and see to that task for the moment. Which in this case for her was to relax and create something positive in her world, like getting out to work in her garden. I don’t believe her decision to let it go advocates complacency, nor am I trying to say that anger does not have its place. Anger if used as it is intended, is a tool that produces change. It is also a signal that our needs aren’t being met.

My friend’s choice is a good reminder to me that our personal power lies in our ability to recognize what we can create and what we can’t. And we can’t create in someone else’s universe without their permission. Nor can anyone else without our permission create in ours. You see the simple thing is this. We all are the center of our own universe. Picture your personal universe as a circle with you in the center of it as a small dot. You bring things into that circle that you choose to bring into it. Your thoughts reside there with you, your emotions, your actions. You and you alone are responsible for what you create in your universe. The world that you make for yourself is what you make, and you alone. So we are all these individual circles just bumping into each other out there in space and time. Connected but individual.

So my friend who found her center is creating something positive for herself in her personal space or universe. And she dealt with her dissatisfaction with the events taking place in our country by writing of her thoughts to the people she needed to write to and she voted. And then she created peace and love for herself and for her friends (because she brought peace to my universe and I give her permission to put it there.) And if we all follow her example we will be putting positive and peaceful thoughts out into the bigger collective universe, and then I think, no I know, positive will be attracted to itself and well, we will just see a better outcome to this whole thing than we started out with.

One good rule of thumb to keep in mind while you are creating your world is to always focus on the things that you DO want instead of the things you DON’T want. You will attract like a magnet the same kinds of situations that you project.

Peace and Love to you.
