Co-Existence or Co-Creation?

As I think back over the past 38 issues of The TriCircle Connection, I ponder how many times we have talked about how we can be either accidental creators or deliberate creators of our own reality in every moment and in everything we do!

Most people, me included, have, at some point in time, experienced what seems at first to be at least one profoundly devastating life event. These life events run the gamut – perhaps the death of a loved one, a life- threatening illness, an accident or injury, the uncertainties and consequences brought on by mental health challenges, or the direct or indirect effects of the disease of addiction. How could we possibly, and, why on earth would we ever accidentally or deliberately, create and manifest these things in our lives? Aren’t we just victims of circumstance? Don’t these things happen to us if we are in the wrong place at the wrong time? Isn’t it simply a matter of fate?

The moment we arrived here on the planet, we were socialized and programmed to work hard, achieve material wealth, and perform to the expectations of others. We set high standards for ourselves and for those around us. When tangible results were not immediately achieved, we were often punished by our well-meaning (yet ill equipped) caregivers, and we were instantly disappointed in ourselves, often engaging in destructive self-talk, punishment, self-deprivation and self-sabotage. Sound familiar? A recipe for disaster later in life!

Fast forward to our present circumstances. We have learned enough about the power of now to know the amazing connection between thoughts and things. Once we have an awareness about it, we cannot go back. We cannot unthink a thought! Present moment awareness is not overrated, yet we keep sweeping it under the carpet and, to our detriment, playing the old tapes over and over.

It is time to square off with the fact that we have complete control over our individual and collective realities and that the seeds we have been planting since the day we were born are coming to fruition. We not only co-exist here for a brief moment, we are all co-creators. We attract each other into our every experience by the thoughts we focus on, the vibrations we offer, the frequencies we hold. Is it Co-existence and Co-Creation? The answer is yes!
