Worry Is A Dangerous Pastime

Worry is imagination, dangerously misused. Why would I call worry dangerous? Because our thoughts not only create our reality; they are our reality! So, by imagining the worst, you set the stage for that feared outcome to happen. When it happens, your worry then becomes a self-fulfilled prophesy.

But what I'd also like you to see is that not only does worry tend to create the happening of whatever you worried about, worry IS your reality in that moment of your worrying.

You and I experience life only in the reality of the moment. We truly live only in the now, and although it may seem otherwise, now is all we really ever have. What you make of the now IS your reality -- your life.

The advantage of being human, however, is that you have the power in any moment of NOW to choose who you will BE in that moment. And in order to make that your reality, you need only maintain that BEING choice until the Universe gets that that's who you really are.

The Universe then, brings you more of the same. This is just the way life works -- realize it or not.
This is a spiritual law, The Law of Attraction, in action -- To him who hath it shall be given and he shall have even more abundance.

Along that same line, we've been discussing the BEING Law --We become what we think about--for quite some time now. ...as in, you can change what belongs in your life by changing who you are, and you can change who you are by changing the pattern of your thinking. I hope you can see that you only need to be in charge of one thought at a time.

And I hope you've accepted that spiritual law, The BEING Law as the governing principle in your life because it is. You have become what you thought about and what you have now is as a result of those thoughts.

And then, once you change the pattern of your thinking, you've been transformed to experience life in a brand new reality.
But, transformation as you know, is a difficult process because you and I have egos that do not want us being transformed. When you try to change your circumstances, your ego is a powerful adversary, powerful because it knows more about you than you may know about yourself.

Ego's job in life is to maintain status quo. And ego is obviously good at its job, because it has you convinced that the illusion of lack you're calling reality is for real. Believe me, that condition of lack you're experiencing is really only an illusion!

Let's look again at how that reality illusion got created.

I've always said, a thought is just a thought until the ego buys into it, to make it your experience of reality, but now I'm beginning to think the thought IS your reality.

For instance, if you think you're poor, and that thought makes you feel poor, then, being poor and feeling poor is your reality right then. What started out as just a thought, brought on a feeling, and then feeling poor became the reality of the moment.

I want you to see that feeling poor not only creates the reality of poverty, it IS that reality. And having become your reality it becomes ego's job to make sure your experience of life matches that poverty reality in every way.

Wow! With a random thought, you just created the box in which you live. Think how powerful that makes you! And also, realize that another thought could take you out of that box and change your reality -- that is of course, if your ego will let you go there.
