Perceiving, Receiving & the Illusion of Time
August 4th, 2009
TIME to HAVE and BEHOLD: * About 3 Minutes *
The process of goal alignment is part perception and part reception. In other words we are only able to receive what we can perceive. Your concept of what’s possible, determines your receptivity.
In its simplest energetic form, alignment with a goal or dream means that you are a vibrational match to what you want to expand in your experience.
This is why I use the words grow into your goals, and live your goals. As you shift your perspective to living a goal, you step out of the old, and into the new. You are no longer following the patterns of your past, because you’ve embraced the essence of the desire. The dream is no longer some vague concept that’s “out there somewhere”… that may or may not come to fruition some day.
As you live your goals, you’re releasing the illusion of separation and becoming one with your target. I know this is a tricky distinction, because we think time is real and linear. Yet time is simply a mechanism we developed to meet up with one another in time and space. And so we think time is real, but it’s not. There is no thing, plant, animal or being that is time. It’s just a concept.
And that concept of measurement is helpful from a human perspective. However, it can also be limiting when used to align with goals. We’ve been trained to apply dates to desires, and to think of goals as “dreams with deadlines”. That’s fine on one level, if the belief helps us live from the vantage point of the goal.
However, the concept of time, as it applies to goal alignment, can limit you in two ways.
1) If we feel pressured by the scarcity of time, we’ve introduced a vibration that doesn’t match the frequency of living the goal.
2) The concept of linear time creates a perceived gap between now and then. This activates the energy of separation between what we want, and what we think we currently have. We’ve convinced ourselves that our dreams are always in the future state. Thus the separation.
Question: So how we proceed with alignment, given the human perspective of time?
Answer: Leave time out of the equation, or change your perception of time, if it’s not helping you.
Here’s how this perspective might work. You’ve set a goal for the month of August, now let it go. Release it with appreciation, knowing that it is already done. For that is how it truly works. The realization is just waiting for us to catch up with it.
So, instead of looking at the goal from the perceptive that it will happen on or by August 31, 2009, for example, live it now. Using the words of the infomercial mavens, “set it and forget it.”
Don’t forget the goal, because you want to live the goal. Just stop thinking about your desire in terms of a future outcome.
Do everything you reasonably can to accept that your desire is already done. Think, breathe, eat and sleep from that perspective. Makes choices and take action from the vantage point that your goal is done. Live your goal and you’ll be a vibrational match to it!
And as always, pay attention to how you feel. Your emotions always tell you whether or not you are making choices, in thought and deed, that match who you want to be, and what you want to have.
So accept that all the goodness you envision is done, and so it will be!
Your friend and partner in vibrational harmony,
