Focus
Hello Everyone,
Today I want to continue my discussion on focus. When you consider what you are doing when you actively bring to bear your attention to something, you are really focusing the energy of your spirit, that Godchip, the energy that creates universes on something here in the physical.
In this world we have free will. This is to say that our ultimate freedom is that we get to choose upon what we will bring this Source energy to bear. If you stop just a moment and consider, we can really only focus on one thing at a time, pretty much. All talk about multi-tasking to the contrary. When we multi task, we are diluting the power of that focused energy.
I can speak to this with great authority, as I am sure almost every other westernized human can as well. We have come to such a place in our human thinking, that it is "uncool" to not be busier than a one-armed paperhanger. So let me be the first to say that this is insanity. But what this idea of multi-tasking really speaks to is our mistrust of Source and our resulting need to control everything around us, exterior to us. This is a great lie of human thinking.
We are a giant spirit. If you will imagine an iceberg sitting in the ocean. Some 96% or more of it is unseen, underwater. If you will now imagine turning that iceberg upside down. In this view the "tip" of the iceberg at the bottom is now you, walking around on planet earth, the 4% that's visible. The rest of "YOU" is your Godchip connected to the infinite. Everything you need to know is accessible to you. Countless times throughout the day, you are nudged to do something, stop, go, breathe, yawn, cough, hiccup, sigh, turn left, etc. This is the "YOU" of you guiding you, intuitively. I often think that when we get to the other side and look back on the road map of the life we've just lived, we'll see a billion places where we "missed" disaster, because we were always being guided towards our Good. I also think we'll see a lot of diseases that we contracted and healed, never knowing that we had ever been sick. But I don't want to stray from the topic of focus here.
We think (humanly) that we have to stay focused on everything or it will all go to hell in a handbasket, so we don't focus our full attention on those things that really matter to us: play time with the kids, a conversation with a friend, the book you want to write, the new business you want to start. Everything gets mediocre attention, therefore everything gets mediocre results.
We focus every time we have a thought. Have you ever considered that when you're thinking about something, you're not thinking about anything else? Just consider that for a second so that you realize the truth of that statement. If I'm blathering on about politics, I'm not focusing my Source energy on my book, but rather on the topic of politics. So now, what I am doing is building that body of thought form, not my own. I have essentially become part and parcel of the problem, if I am complaining about the problem. I am helping to make that body of thought bigger and stronger. Now I chose to speak about that topic with my buddy in a negative way. Not only have I helped make the problem "bigger" by adding my Creative Energy to that thought form, but worse, I have not done one thing to create what I love.
In our free will we can choose anything to create. Anything. Source is indifferent. You want to create more crap, focus on crap. Now you're vibrational countenance is equal to crap making, and you get more of it. It gets bigger and bigger, until it manifests in your own experience. It doesn't matter, the Law of Attraction works whether you're understanding the power of your focus, or not. Turning your attention to anything, adds "matter" to it and brings it closer to your own experience.
To me, the sad part of this is that what you truly want to create is left untouched, undone, unfinished.
The distractions in this world are legion, to be sure. Some are pleasing to you, which can be beneficial and fun, some are not and only serve to drag you down in your vibration. The trick is to be very, very selective of where you CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSE to focus your Energy. If you truly understand that this is the same Energy that creates worlds, you start to understand that it is like aiming a nuclear device at something. It's power, potent and certain that you will create what you are "aiming" at.
There is an elegance in Source Energy. I like to think of it as Just In Time. It is based on your vibrational countenance that contains the blueprint of you on earth and your intentions for this adventure here. Say for example you have a deep intention for fun, safety, joy, uplifting others, good health, etc. You can and should certainly get consciously clear about what you intend for your life. Your intention is powerful, like the scope on a rife. What you intend is what you are aiming at. With these intentions buried in your vibrational countenance, Law of Attraction will match. You intend to pay your bills on time; you will receive an internal "nudge" or "prompt" in
just enough time to do so; perhaps a friend will say, "I've gotta pay bills today." and you are reminded. Every aspect of you is recorded and being answered by YOU. What you have to do is learn to trust that, and relax in IT.
Once done, now you can chill out and place your full focus on that book, that new business and bring the full power of YOU to bear on that project. You will be astounded as the speed and clarity with which you accomplish what you desire, the people that come "out of nowhere" to assist, the "perfect" connection or stepping stone.
This is an elegant Universe and you are an integral part of it. You can experience that elegance in your own life if you allow It. Every tiny vibration of you is recorded and noted and being answered. And you direct it all by the power of your free will to CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSE what you WILL focus your Source Energy upon.
So, where are we in all this? One thing at a time. My Dad always taught me, "How do you eat an elephant?" he asks me. My answer is always the same, "One bite at a time." And that my friends is the wisest thing anyone could teach anyone. The power of clear, undivided focus one subject at a time.
And I'll throw this added one in as a corollary to the elephant. When I would be upset by someone or something as a child and complain to my Gram, she would say, "Pay no mind."
Translation: don't focus on it.
Lucky girl, me to have such wise beings guiding me in my youth.
Play with it, and prove to yourself. Focus, shift, refocus, shift. And never, ever, focus on anything that doesn't feel good to you. EVER. I know this may not sound politically or socially correct, but what the hay, it's your LIFE. You have the choice and free will. If it doesn't feel good to you, well then, get out of the bank. It's not. If it feels good to YOU, then it is.
Think of yourself as a powerful hose of Source Energy and whatever you aim that hose at is going to happen. This is Applied Spirituality.

Hi Kath,
this is a timely topic for me as I have been noticing for a while now how what people say, myself included is inevitably coming to pass.
when does focus on something turn into 'control' thinking. how do I focus on having more money say, without coming from a place of "i need more money now cause I don't have enough"?
And how do I not add to a problem if I get into a discussion say on politics or the health care system?
at least I do notice now when I begin to add passion to whatever I think are the woes of the world. Or should I not get into these discussions in the first place? ......helen
Hello Helen,
Great questions. And bravo that you are noticing your "passions".
1. I'm not sure what you mean by "control" thinking. If you are meaning deliberate or intentional thought, that's exactly where you want to be going. You are choosing what you want to focus on.
2. The realization that you "want more money" is the launch pad for your new creation. By the "contrast" you now are able to be really clear about what it is you do want, and can focus on that. The way you focus your thoughts on creating what you DO want is by imagining how it feels to have plenty of money. You can say to yourself " won't it be nice..., isn't it great...." and FEEL that feeling to your core. You get to imagine it any way you want it.
3. You stop adding to the energy of "problems" by simply not focusing there. If it doesn't feel good to you (you say you can feel your emotions getting up), you know you're adding to that body of thought. I use strategies like, "Gotta go..." "Oops, forget I have to be somewhere or ...." Just leave. As you begin changing your own personal vibration on any subject to higher and higher, you won't even be present for those discussions. They won't be a match for your experience and only those experiences that are a vibrational match to you will come. This is how you will notice how well you're doing in raising your own vibration.
The real trick is very simple, Helen, simply follow and focus on what you love doing, just like when you were a kid and were so absorbed in that bug, or that color book, or riding that bike. Follow what feels good, follow your heart.

Hi Kath
thanks for your prompt response. By control I was meaning wanting to control the way in which the outcome occurs. I was wondering how to achieve that state where by you focus on what you want, give it some emotion & then let go & stop worring about how it is going to happen? and how long do you give it to happen? that sort of needing to be in control of the situation I guess. But your second point actually explained it so all is good. and thanks for the workable solution about adding to the energy of a negative situation, simple really isn't it? I guess I just needed a bit of validation that I was on the right track, I just wasn't listening properly to my intuition. it feels good to start acknowledging myself again.
keep up the great articles they really do inspire & strangely enough quite on point! thanks - helen (sorry if this comes through twice I'm not sure if it accepted the first try)
