Quotes I Love

[AnthroHeart]

From my point of view, you always have a "new template" in the works.  Your "higher self" is really just you, in a relatively resistance free state of time/space.  It is "you in the future".  As your future projection, its function as your analog self is to hold the vibrational template for the new and improved furthest expansion of your self.  In this way, it works as your guide, by offering an "ideal pattern" for you to entrain to.  

So every time you come to a new conclusion or preference, it immediately rides that impulse to its probable conclusion, and adds that preference to the probable reality.  It amends it every time you reach a new preference.  Of itself, it is beyond desire, but it exists as a guiding point for the space/time analog.  It lives that reality vibrationally, and acts almost like a "bookmark" for that point in space and time.  It functions as a vibrational compass, and your emotions are your translation of proximity to its template reality.  This is what is meant in the power of "following your bliss".  The whole reason you perceive anything as "bliss", emotionally speaking, is because it is approaching the vibrational template that your higher self has adopted.  The feeling of self joining self results in metaphysical joy, as you tune yourself to the frequency it is holding.

Where "letting go" fits into the mix is that it equals the surrender of your current white knuckle grip of focus on your current reality, and allows your focus to drift closer to what is wanted.  As this focus is relaxed, you experience emotional release because you are focusing less contradictory energy relative to your desires.  As the will is released, your focus will tend to naturally recoalesce towards the vibrational perspective of your higher self.

Another way to think of it is simply: the reality you desired was created the very moment you desired it, by your higher self.  You just have to tune to the higher self which is just finding the same thoughts it has found relative to the desire, which you are naturally inclined to do because the thoughts "feel good" and make you happy.  So really, all "conscious creation" is more a matter of "releasing resistance" rather than trying to "intend reality to morph".  

If there were no resistance, the reality would automatically come about.

Thank you anagogy for the advice. I never new the higher self already created my desired reality.

If I am correct, letting go is still a thought, because I see that truth in my mind.

I am releasing resistance for sure, because I can feel the actual resistance.

Now, should I seek my higher self, or work just on releasing resistance?

Letting go is more of "letting go of thought".  When you release thought, you release your hold on the old reality.  So meditation is a good way to release resistance.

When thought is released, your conscious focus naturally floats up, like a cork in water, to a less resistant place.  This just happens to be the focus of thought your higher self has already acquired.  As the larger part of you, the higher self is like the anchor your consciousness naturally drifts towrad when will is released.  Are there less resistant places than this?  Sure.  But they are beyond your higher self, and are beyond the focus of "self" in general.  That would be some 8th density/enlightenment/shedding ego stuff.    

Seeking your higher self *IS* releasing resistance (from the perspective of ego).  They are one in the same.

Letting go is the best. I'm glad you've learned that skill now, Gem!! Another one of my favorites in the same vein is the "acceptance" meditation: Taking 10 deep breaths where you just accept everything as it is in the moment as perfect. It creates an awesome change in consciousness afterwards.

I believe thoughts won't really manifest without intention behind them. I become an observer of the reality that "I" am in. And who is this I?

I used to focus a lot on what I wanted. Even put emotion behind it. My subconscious/higher self/guides know exactly what I want, so I let them take care of the how. Well, it's really the Universe that's doing the work.

I'm sort of working with a template that represents my ideal reality. The template is like a blueprint. It exists, and if I just let go and let the reality shift, I will find it will have minimal resistance.

I was beginning to feel resistance in the shifting realities. I'll be excited to see where this goes.

For me it's 90/10. 90% letting go, and 10% focusing on reality I desire.

Two keys to this: Effortless intention, and unconditional surrender. I like to imagine I am my chakras expressing this intention. See how far you can take it Gem!! I love thought experiments.

This one in particular definitely awakens the beginnings of the christ-self.

Have you ever balanced on a narrow ledge? The key is to let your gravity just kind of sink in to it, you have to relax and let go. It's like doing this but with your mind.
