My take on ‘shaping your reality’, a personal view
The essence of Seth’s message unveils a profound philosophy of self-empowerment. It underscores the relationship between our beliefs and the reality we encounter.
Comparing life to an art form, where inner inspiration, spontaneity, and deliberate organization serve as its fundamental elements, resonates deeply. Seth implies that, much like an artist molds a masterpiece, we possess the authority to sculpt the dimensions of our own reality.
The heart of the matter rests in the contradiction of desiring change while holding onto contradictory beliefs.
Seth illuminates the impossibility of maintaining discordant thoughts and expecting a harmonious reality. It calls on us to reflect inward, challenging us to acknowledge our part in sustaining harmful patterns. The recurring motif of seeking peace while affirming its absence becomes a poignant reminder of the self-fulfilling prophecy inherent in our beliefs.
Seth goes beyond just personal thoughts, including everyone’s shared awareness.
He implies that the world at large is a composite reflection of the beliefs held collectively.
This broader perspective adds a layer of responsibility, urging us to contribute positively to the shared reality we co-create.
A word to those with loved ones in war
I recognize that amidst the profound challenges and intense emotions of war, sharing philosophical messages like this may unintentionally seem distant from the immediate struggles individuals face.
My heart goes out to them, acknowledging the pain and hardships they endure daily.
I truly grasp the complexities of their reality, but even in the midst of war, these empowering concepts can find a place—perhaps in personal prayers—offering a potential bridge between violence and peace.
There is no peace. Or is there? Shaping Your Really, a Seth session
Seth: “You want to be an excellent painter. At least you want to paint your own unique vision, and Ruburt wants to write his. Those particular aspirations will lead you, and are leading you, to the realization that life itself is an art, composed of the same ingredients of inner inspiration, spontaneity and conscious organization and discrimination.
You still do not really understand. This does not apply to the two of you alone, but to your world at large: you make your own reality through your beliefs. You want to keep your beliefs yet change your reality—I am not referring to you personally here now—but this is impossible.
If you believe that you are pulled in all directions you will be. Your experience will prove it out.
If you believe there is no peace in your world, in your private world, there will be none.
If you want peace you must insert the belief in it and then your experience will justify it.
You cannot say to yourself twenty times a day “There is no peace,” and at the same time expect to find some, with any possibility of achieving anything but conflict. There is no other way. Keep your cherished beliefs in conflict, but you will not find peace.
You can be alone in the silence, fairly isolated, and yet filled with conflict if it is within you. You can be surrounded by some noise (as Seth, Jane pointed to the ceiling; someone was moving into the apartment above us) or traffic, and feel its great synthesis with the vitality of life, and it can be conducive to peace. This does not mean that silence at times is not preferable to noise. It means that you make your own reality.
It means that the belief in discordant conditions initiates it. I am not saying that others are not involved, but that discordant thoughts bring about discordant reactions in others, to which they will react according to their own beliefs. But no one creates your private reality but you.
It is easy for you to say that your parents did not appreciate what they had, that they looked at the “bad” side of things all the time, but not quite so easy to see those same attitudes in yourselves.
When you consistently concentrate upon negative aspects you seek them out from your experience and all the available stimuli, until reality certainly does seem to justify your attitudes. Using the power point of the present, you seek backward into the past, reorganizing data to those ends, and project them into the future. You feel closed in. Depression sets in. If this is the kind of painting you want then at least be aware of it. If it is not, realize that you can at any point in the present begin to alter it and your experience.”
