Matrix Matters

The Matrix Energetics seminar was awesome! It was such an honor to help hold sacred space for the group (about 200), and witness their transformation. There were lots of people who had never done anything even remotely similar, many in the retired+ age group, doctors, moms, and computer people. I loved seeing them practice what they were learning and seeing stuff happen right away. It was a ton of fun!

What struck me is the statement that everything is an illusion. Nothing new, that concept. A Course in Miracles, The Four Agreements, Wayne Dyer and Buddhist philosophy to name a few all talk about how understanding the illusion of the world we live in is a key concept to free oneself from the tyranny of the mind and move into joy. I have heard/read it lots of times, and maybe you have too.

But you know how it is, sometimes you hear something in just a certain way, or maybe you are finally ready to listen, and all the planets are aligned? It's the perfect combo of man wearing Axe deodorant and cute girl in an empty elevator. It just sounds different. It feels different. It "clicks".

Hey! I thought. If everything is an illusion, then that means my problems are not real! I am going to stop interacting with them. Period. Because they don't exist. And I don't have to take my crap so seriously, either! Besides, it's so boring and stifling and self- limiting! All of this I don't deserve/I am not good enough belief system (BS!) can just be done away with. Someone made it up because they didn't know any better, I believed their lie, and it's just not working for me anymore.

Since deciding that I am feeling more beautiful. I am feeling more creative, smarter and in my personal power. I am more loving and more comfortable with being me- and letting others be themselves.

There is one exception to the whole world is an illusion bit. And that my friends is love. Remember when I mentioned in the Awakenings post I had read all those life changing books in India? After about the third book (and they were all pretty different) I copped on to the fact that each carried the message that love was the only truth. By the ninth book (I was blessed with a long trip!) it had sunk in conceptually.

Now I am experiencing that as I move away from the illusion of my junk by not focusing my attention on those things I immediately move into a space of love. It's like it flows in to fill the space where all the negative thoughts once lived. Pretty good stuff. And it feels wonderful.

I challenge you to pick one thing in your life that just isn't serving you and choose to view it as an illusion. Like a bad movie on TBS late at night. The remote is in your hands. You can change the channel if you choose! Give yourself the permission to do so. Watch what happens!
