What Are We Manifesting?

Written by Mathew Naismith

To feel good about oneself and the environment, one must first desist in feeling bad about someone else's self and their environment, otherwise all we would be doing is creating something that feels good on the back of what also feels bad. Look at it this way, if to be exceptionally positive takes an exceptional negative, wouldn't it be better if we didn't have to express an exceptional positive to denounce, overcome or escape from an exceptional negative in the first place? One begets the other; basically, one extreme creates an opposing extreme. Do we really want to create another reality built upon or created from it's opposite? 

So what kind of ideological concepts has our present reality created?

Firstly, I personally don't think it's wise to build or create realities based on their opposing opposites if we really want peace and love on Earth. Basing peace and love on it's opposite is only going to continue the trend of opposing energy forces, basically creating realities that one can't exist without the other or on the back of the other.

Many times have I come across people who have utter disdain for this reality, in turn, they have a desire to manifest a complete opposite of what they have disdain for. Is it wise to create another reality based on it's opposite, in other words create a reality based on conflict and critical judgment? What would our present conflictive realities consciousness want you to do? Be in conflict with it to continue the trend and create yet another reality based on conflict and critical judgment.

So opposing our present conflictive reality is doing exactly what this kind of reality creates, realities primarily based on conflict. Yes, for example, the ideological concepts of light and love don't seem to be within themselves conflictive, even though this kind of ideology was created on the back of a conflictive conscious reality. However, take this kind of energy out of it's protective comforting domain, it's own reality, it fails dismally. Only within it's own domain, within it's own energy, can the ideological concepts of light and love prevail. It's exactly like taking a fish out of the water, it's reality, and put the fish in it's opposing reality, it fails dismally to exist out of the water, it's reality.

Manifesting = Provide evidence for; stand as proof of; show by one's behaviour, attitude, or external attributes or reveal its presence or make an appearance. 

Ideology = An orientation that characterizes the thinking of a group or nation or an imaginary or visionary theorization.

So can we create a reality of light and love without a reality being created on the back of a conflictive reality?

Light simply means awareness and love acceptance of all of what is for what it is, this of course includes realities and the consciousness behind the creation of these realities. It's like a mother loving their child no matter what they do. Because these kinds of ideological concepts are based on disdain and an opposing energy source, it is obvious that ideological concepts, like today's light and love, is not based on awareness or a true sense of love.

A true sense of light and love thrives just as much out of it's own reality as it does in it's own reality, in certain circumstances even more because of the need of this kind of energy source within certain realities or energy flows. A mother/father can be at their best in dire times, way out of their comfort zone, we as a whole are no different. Another good example is nurses/doctors; they are at their best when out of their comfort zone, their normal reality, because that is where they are most needed. People like me are always out of our comfort zone, our own clicky (exclusive) groups and energy fields/realities, where we are most needed. 

Do we really need to get out of our comfort zone, our own reality, to make a difference?

We often believe by staying within our own exclusive group, our own energy field or safe zone, that we can make a difference through manifesting our own energy within our own group or even our own personal domain/reality and make a huge difference. I think if Mother Teresa and Florence Nightingale, for example, stayed within their own exclusive group or energy field/reality, they couldn't have made the difference they did; we at a personal and collective level are no different. What about Gandhi and Nelson Mandela and so on it goes. On a personal level, it would have been best for these people to stay within their own exclusive groups and within their own safe zone on a personal level, they instead saw a need to make real changes way outside their own comfort zone.

You simply cannot manifest a reality or influence a collective consciousness to change it's present reality while within your own comfort zone, your own exclusive group, change has always been manifested while within other energy flows. The reason for this is simple, a group opposing another group while within it's own reality will always be opposed, however, once within an opposing group to your own energy field, this is where one can make the biggest difference, the biggest manifestation.

There is one trick to changing what is within itself though, never demean or have disdain for what you are trying to influence while within that energy field, all this will change is your own energy field. A lot of people today are making this mistake in my mind, trying to change one group manifestation with their own group manifestation while in disdain of the group manifestation they are trying to change. Did Nelson Mandela try to change the colour of white people while at the same time having disdain for white people? All that Nelson Mandela wanted to change is the reality that white South Africans manifested from within. If Nelson Mandela had a huge amount of disdain for white people, instead of only seeing a need for change of what white people had manifested, he simply wouldn't have changed a thing.                  

Outside The Comfort Zone

Written by Mathew Naismith

It's funny, we so often avoid going outside our comfort zone, a zone that we feel most comfortable and secure in. The emphasis is really on security here, if we don't feel secure, how comfortable are we going to feel? So security seems to be one of the main factors of our comfort zone.

Yes, our comfort zone is of security or relative security compared to the rest of our environment, it's also something we create ourselves within ourselves. Yes, we can be secure in our external environment that's created by others, but if we have no inner security, no amount of external security will create a true secure comfort zone for us, this has to come from within.

Now, if we feel insecure in our external environment, our internal environment, our comfort zone, becomes even more precious to us, at this point, we can indeed get to the point we no longer want to venture out from our comfort zone. The desire to go out of our comfort zone is no longer present. It's amazing how many people have done this and understandably so, especially when you consider the present world environment. I lot of people in the US presently feel just like this, very insecure and again understandably so.

Once our comfort zone is threatened, or seems to be threatened by external influences, we lose the security of our comfort zone, we then instinctively try to bring this back into order in anyway we can. For a lot of people in the US, they are way outside their comfort zone, it's pretty scary for anyone who hasn't been this far out from their comfort zone before. In true reality, our comfort zone should  have nothing to do with external influences even when it seems our comfort zone is threatened by external influences.

When our comfort zone is created through and from external securities, our inner comfort zone will also be in peril of external influences. The reason for this lies in that our comfort zone relies on our external securities, it exists because of our external securities, this is why any comfort zone, created from external securities, are most vulnerable to our external environment.

Never should our comfort zone be created from and through our external environment, our external environment should have nothing to do with our inner internal comfort zone, especially spiritually and/or psychologically. How many people's happiness and security solely relies on our external environment? Wealth and power are good examples and so is prestige, take away these things from people who rely on them for their security, they go to pieces, their comfort zone totally disintegrates.

You will also find that any comfort zone created from and through our external environment, will entrap us within this environment making us quite unaware of the rest of our external environment. For an example, how many billionaires freely giveaway their comfort zone, meaning, how many freely giveaway all their fortune to go outside their comfort zone? They are seemingly observing what is going on outside their comfort zone but there not really observing, they are actually only participating while being encased in their comfort zone. Actual observation takes one to participate as well, especially observing one's own participation outside one's own comfort zone. You can only be a true observer if you observe your own participation, especially if it's outside your comfort zone.

Spiritual awareness is supposed to be about becoming more aware, not less. This means we are supposed to go out from our comfort zone and participate as well as observe our own participation. However, it's advisable not to do this if your comfort zone was created from and through our external environment, this is because our comfort zone in this case is vulnerable to the external environment.

At all times, it is advisable that our comfort zone be created from within, within our internal environment. A lot of spiritual practices teach us this, at times unbeknownst to us. Again, if your comfort zone is created from and through our external environment, it's advisable not to venture out too far from your comfort zone, this is because your comfort zone is vulnerable to our external environment.

Once you have created your comfort zone through your inner internal being, no amount of external influences can disintegrate or influence this kind of zone. You will get to a point where you just smile at everything that is going on around you externally as your security is assured. However, the more we become evolved in our participation of our external environment, the less we will smile. You see, the observer will always smile where's the participator will not and understandably so, this is because the participators comfort zone is always reliant on the external environment, of course the observers security isn't, it's totally reliant on a comfort zone that can't be influenced by our external environment. This is only one reason why we smile in this state.

If you want true internal peace, don't create your comfort zone from and through our external environment, it's too insecure within it's own participation, just be and observe in full comfort of your internal security zone that you created, not someone else.
