Ask Higg(in)s

Question: Why am I so mad? It seems like the whole world conspires against me. I am foiled in pursuing my dreams at every turn. Even driving down the street cars pull out in front of me or drive really, really slowly. I’m blocked in everything I do. It just seems like the only thing to do is be mad.

Higgins: Let’s answer this by breaking it down in parts.

First, the whole world is not conspiring against you. The Universe conspires for you. The Universe is pro you and continually offers you metaphorical representations of you…in abundance. If you don’t like what you see then you need to look inward rather than outward. The world is not doing this to you. You are doing this to you.

Next, if it seems to you that the things you want are not easily achievable, they won’t be. The Universe will offer you all sorts of things to hamper your progress and that is what is happening to you. The Universe, in its absolute abundance offers you so much blockage that blockages show up myriad ways. Whether these metaphorical representations of your belief that something else is blocking you from achieving your dreams show up as drivers driving slowly in front of you or whether they show up as other people performing literal acts that impede your progress matters not. It is the same result: you feel as if you’ve been hamstrung and are literally unable to make progress.

The answer to this dilemma is to change your attitude. Stop making excuses as to why you can’t complete a thing. Do whatever it takes to get done no matter how long it takes or how many extra miles you have to go. If you wish to write a book and have to do it with crayon on napkins, do it. If you wish to exercise routinely but it means getting out of bed at 4AM to do so, do it. If you wish to learn to speak a foreign language fluently get started. Don’t worry that you seemingly have no opportunity to practice it. Start and the opportunity will arrive. And that is true for all things. Start anyway and opportunity will  arrive.

You will notice as you quit making excuses that you quit needing to make excuses because the universe now offers opportunity rather than blockage. What you will find remarkable is that as you change your attitude with persistence others will seem to stop getting in your way. What you need to understand is that they never did get in your way. You got in your way. Get out of your own way and you’ll have no reason to be angry anymore.

Remember that these feelings of anger are offered to you because they have power. The feelings of inability to cope with all the ways you are blocked from progressing towards your dreams is a low energetic frequency so if you have to choose, anger is better but anger is only helpful if it stimulates you to action, the sort of action a powerful person takes–no excuses just do it.

Offering from Higgins:

Each of you seeks to express the Truth of themselves. One way to discover your personal Truth is to begin discarding, one by one, those items, behaviors, speech patterns, all things that are not you. The True you will be what is left behind when all the non-you is peeled away.

Question: I’ve noticed lately that it is easier to throw things away than it has been in the past (rather than hording what is no longer useful).  In fact, I have moments of enthusiastic desire to clean things like the refrigerator and that is not my norm. Why is this?

Higgins: For the greatest number of you clean and tidy is an expression of Truth. Therefor, as you are shifting towards clearer expression of the True you, you are being rewarded with the side-effect of expression of clean and tidy.

For you friend, clean and tidy is less about the Truth of You being clean and tidy than it is about you learning how it is that you want to live. In clearing out the surplus you reveal the real you.

Question: How do I get motivated?

Higgins: Impulses and inspiration are designed to provide motivation. If you seem not to have the oomph, or wherewithal, to follow through on these offerings then a little work may be required on your part.

A most excellent practice is to roll ideas around in your brain. The practice of tossing ideas around in the brain gets an energetic flow moving regarding the topic. The stronger and faster the flow of positive thought upon the topic the more likely you are to follow-up on it.

(Note that developing a negative flow of thought upon a topic will squash the idea very quickly.)

While it may seem as though the excitement and stimulation of an impulse or inspiration should be strong enough in its own right to stimulate you to action that is very often not the case. A little extra effort on your part is needed to start a cascade of ideas. That moment when the cascade becomes an avalanche is when your original idea begins to have enough momentum to carry you into action.

If something seems like a next logical step, it is. Do it. No matter how large and daunting the task may seem, the steps to completion will unfold tidily.

Think about what you think about. Do you ruminate upon the days events or do you consistently and persistently think about your dreams and how to achieve them?

Thinking about what you want sets up a flow of thought that broadens with time much the way rain water trickles into small streams that join to create small rivers which join to create larger rivers.

If you will consistently and persistently (and of course, happily) consider your dreams and how to achieve them the result will be that your dreams will become reality in much the same way the Amazon becomes the Amazon.

We recently posted this:

Regarding Creating:

You are Master Creators therefore you are happiest when creating. Each of you has different spiritual gifts to share and the goal of life experience is to create frames in which to display your gifts.

For painters, the picture is the frame. For dancers, the dance is the frame. You tend to get confused, thinking the picture is the gift or that the dance is the gift. The picture and the dance are expressions of the gift.

__

To clarify this we offer the example of Tim Tebow. For Tim football is the frame. His spiritual gift is knowing that positive expectation and gratitude, along with continual postive effort, are what brings success.

He knows that God doesn’t make you succeed. Success is there for all to achieve through positive expectation, gratitude and continual positive effort. That’s his gift. Football is simply the frame.

You are not a victim now. You have never been a victim.

When we use the word ‘victim’ we are talking about you in every moment. When you are in line at the checkout stand feeling frustration because the line moves slowly, frustration is a sign that you have moved into victim mode. Not a victim has choices, victims have no choice. No choice is a very low vibration and not compatible with the Truth of Who You Are.

Each time you respond to a thing assess whether the feeling you are given is lesser or stronger. Always move towards the stronger. It is a positive feedback loop meaning that as you begin to notice the stronger feelings you will like them better and then choose them more quickly and with greater ease.

We already feel, rising up in you, scenarios where you truly feel you had no choice as in the little one being bullied by the big one. We will agree that many times unpleasant things happen that in that moment you seem to have no control over. This is a larger lesson that we will address another day. For today, remind yourself that, “This is now and now I have a choice as to how I respond. I am not a victim.” Then ask yourself, “What would not-a-victim do?”
