Thank you for sharing this video, Astrid. What he says about energy relates to the struggle I have been having, documented well in the Here and Now, lol, about being frugal with one’s energy, placing value on it, not giving it away to all who have their hands out, and deciding wisely how to spend it. He, like so many others, speaks of our thoughts creating our reality. This is a subject I struggle with, because sometimes it seems that people are saying thoughts literally create events and situations…as if one can make a chair materialize out of thin air when they want to sit down.
I am reminded of a conversation I once had with a therapist about our worldviews or paradigms and how they create our realities. What she told me makes perfect sense from a psychological perspective. To this day, it is the only grasp I have on how we could possibly create our own realities. She said…
When you are young, a particular trauma happens. Let’s say that a little girl is beaten by her father when she doesn’t perform one way or another to his expectations. After this becomes a pattern, obviously she learns that when “x” happens she will feel “y.” All through her life, then, she wants to avoid “y” at all costs, and the only way she believes she can avoid it is by watching for it. If she sees “y” coming, she can try to duck or hide or go the other direction.
Wanting to see it coming, so that she can escape it before it happens, she creates a sort of a filter in her mind that ignores everything but the “y” so that when it is coming she can protect herself. If the only thing she can see is “y,” and she is focused intently on avoiding it, she will not see the myriad of other possibilities of emotions and situations in life. Therefore, “y” is all she can see.
If “y” is all she can see, then she lives her life “on the ready” for it. She reacts to every stimulus as if it is “y,” whether it had the possibility of becoming “y” or not. Following that thought process, all she sees or experiences in life is fear of “y,” preparing for “y,” defending herself against “y,” or licking her “y” wounds.
In this theory, it is painfully obvious that what one looks for is what one will find. The way to break the pattern of “y,” the little girl (now grown) must stop acting like “y” is the only action or emotion possible. The change in paradigm, or thought pattern, creates a new reality because if she is not looking for “y,” if she looks for beauty in nature or kindness in people or … whatever she looks for … she will find that instead of “y.”
Is that what people mean when they say your thoughts create your reality?
Much Love,
