Pulling the string is a very
simple but powerful exploratory concept. It is based on the analogy
of pulling a loose string on any piece of clothing and the clothing
falls apart. A good example is a knitted sweater and having the
whole sweater unravel.
For whatever is in our life we can ask “Why?”. We can ask, “Why do
we experience this as opposed to something else?” But, for whatever
answer we get we can always ask, “Why - why this and not that or
another way.” There is a never ending series of “why’s” that can be
asked. The more questions we answers, the more questions we can ask.
That is, the more we find out the more we find there are further
questions to be asked and more information to be gained.
Another way of looking at this is to realize that more often then
not, there are more answers than questions. How many questions can
be answered with either another “why this and not that” or more than
one way to answer the question. How many stories about what we
experience can be told only one way? Don’t most stories have other
view points? There is always several answers that can be given for
any phenomenon. Some are equally effective where as other depend on
the desired outcome. The correct answer is the one which is
effective in answering the question “what is effective for what we
are trying to do.” In this regard, we must look at “What works for
me in my situation” and allow effectiveness to be our measure of
truth.
Whether we accept it or not, there is a cause to all that we
experience. We only need to ask, “why?” and follow the series of
subsequent “why?” questions on each answer we get. In exploring the
“why,” we will come to see how the decisions we have made in the
past have helped create our current experiences and ultimately our
reality. In seeing how we create our experience we can begin to see
why it is necessary to become aware of the choices that we make.
In pulling the string on our choices we will begin to see why it is
necessary to pull the string on every level of our being for
whatever we experience or believe. When we begin to see the
cause effect chain to any experience, we being to see there is a
cause effect chain on each level of our being. Whether the
experience or belief is spiritual, mental, emotional or physical, we
can still ask, “Why this as opposed to anything else?” Whatever we
see happen, we can “pull the string” and go back and show a cause as
to why that particular effect occurred as opposed to another. Out
comes may be random, but there is nevertheless a cause that gives
rise to it.
This line of questioning should be pursued as long an necessary. How
long is necessary? It depends on at what level you wish to gain
creative control. The deeper you go as to “Why this way and not
another?” the more creative power and understanding you will access.
Pulling the string follows the cause - effect chain back to its
origins.
What is most interesting is when we use this technique to explore
our pain - “Why this pain in this way as opposed to any other pain?”
What we will find is that we will get intuitive insights. Although
they do not always seem to make sense to our logical mind, if we
pull the string on what answer we get as described here, we can
begin to see how
pain is a gift and what it is really communicating about to us.
To become a conscious creator and understand
how we create our experiences, we need to make the subconscious
conscious in those areas that are influencing what we desire to
create. Pulling the string is a very powerful way to access our
early and/or past programming creating our experiences. To get past
the programming, we must set a clear intention to do so and pull the
string on the desires we have and the basis of our decision. We must
intend and seek to understand what lies at their root. The key to
pulling the string on our desires and our decisions is to become
mindful and aware of the thoughts we have.
If we utilize this technique and gain more experience with the power
of clear intentionality and how intentionality can be used to create
our experiences, we will begin to see how it is possible and why we
say there is an
intention for your life that brought you into
incarnation. When we being to see the
cause effect chain to any experience we have including our
birth.
