Co-Creating

[Guest guest]

I have a partner who has been reading about that whole concept

of " create your reality " or co-creation, that is, how to change the

vibrations within so as to attract what you want.

I have always had a problem with this way of thinking because in

part, I just want to BE, not effort some wonderful ideal life. I

don't even know what that ideal life would be. I have ideas (rich,

healthy, talented…) but no idea of how to get there.

My stance has always been – what's meant to be will be.

So is this a form of " learned helplessness " ? Is this some kind of

cop-out?

I love the Work (and Advaita) because it helps me be present.

Still. Less judgmental, less focused on egoic agendas. It takes me

beyond mind identification. Yet is it really some form of depression

that would keep me from co-creating? Am I holding myself (and by

extension, my family) back from a better life by not attempting

to " change my vibrations " ? I recognize that I feel somewhat

overwhelmed by life – I can see how I hide, evade… What that has

told me is that I need to look at the feelings, identify underlying

beliefs, and ask whether they are true… Or when the pain is too much,

to sit in the feeling, drop the story, and let whatever is there

burn…

Does the Universe really operate in such a way that it is

always " giving " ? But if your mind is not in perfect alignment, then

what? Are you screwed? You're going to get crap because you are

confused? That is exactly the reason I have stayed away from the co-

create your reality paradigm. It seems shaming and warped.

And yet recently spoke with Wayne Dyer (!) – so now I'm more

confused than ever!
