The bottom line
of victim consciousness and victim mentality
In the topic, “Victim
Consciousness - Victim Mentality,” victim consciousness is said to
be to give away our
creative power
and/or deny our
creative ability in a way that does not
serves us. The important point here is we give
away our creative power. For some reason or another, we deny what is
within us. We deny our own ability to create. Rather we look outside
ourselves for what we ourselves can do. The question is, “How do we
create a victim consciousness or a victim mentality such that we
don’t know our own creative power and/or are afraid or unwilling to
use it?”
Background
on the origins of victim consciousness (Top)
The answer is that physical
Creation by design is to create a victim consciousness. It is not
designed to create victims but design to get us to create
experiences such that we give away our
creative power
and believe
that we do not have the power to become the cause of what we
experience.
Physical Creation is about forgetting and
losing ourselves within our
creation. By forgetting how we
create our experiences and losing ourselves in our creation, we
cause ourselves to be controlled by the circumstances we face in our
creation.
The “trick” to create the physical experience is to use the natural
process of
consciousness awakening and going to sleep. It is for our
consciousness to choose to enter a physical body and then have to
await until it grows and become self sufficient. In the process we
forget our own
creative power and creative
ability and become so overwhelmed
in what we are sensing we believe we are the product of the
experiences we have in Physical Creation. That is, we develop our
enculaturated mind and forget everything in our
transcendental mind.
That is, we believe we are human and believe our life starts with
our physical birth.
Then, as we being to move into life and exercise our desire to
creatively play and to spontaneously and innocently discover and
explore our world in that childlike innocence our play becomes
thwarted in some way. We begin to learn to withdrawal and not act
from the truth of our being and what we feel. Begin to look outside
ourselves for clues as to what we can and can’t do and how we should
or should not act.
When we are an infant, we are mentally free to do whatever we feel
like doing. We have no judgement and or preconceived ideas as to
what is acceptable or not acceptable, safe or dangerous. In
innocence, and if we were innocent now, there is nothing that we
would see that would cause us to feel threatened. Anything and
everything that threatens you comes from past experiences that we
have had.
As an infant, we feel no constrains on any of our actions until they
are somehow imposed from our external world. Until we learn
otherwise, we are free to live whatever is in our hearts for we had
yet to develop the awareness of
mind and life experiences to choose
what we liked and disliked about the life we are living. Having a
like or a dislike is always based on some past experience. We have
no basis to make any judgement about the unknown.
As we grow, we began to experience the fact that there are things
that we are lead to do but our care givers feel or think otherwise.
Subsequently, they control our actions in someway. Depending on how
we are raised, some of us were gently lead to learn particular
patterns in life where as others of us were forcibly if not
violently lead. What we experienced from our care givers many times
was based as much on our own temperament and desires as much as what
was done to us. We either became to feel very controlled and
dominated or
loved and nurtured, and of course, with a infinite
number of shadings between these extremes.
As a child, and as we still do, we craved
love, affection and
attention. If we don’t get that love, affection and attention we
feel a type of
pain. There are many things natural to the truth of
our being we learn to suppress within ourselves to ensure the love,
affection and attention of our care givers.
Few of us had been
loved unconditionally. Whether our care givers
realized it or not, they expected us to grow a certain way which
they considered normal and/or they way they wanted us to be. They
did what they could to help us to achieve normalcy as defined by
them and society. It may be something as simple as our care givers
expecting us not to cry when they were busy attempting to do
something other than give us attention.
In any case, early in life we learned choose in a way that we
expected the external world will give us a
pain free life and that
we get what we wanted. We were taught to respond to the external
world and what it could give us. We were taught everything comes
from outside of us. We were not taught how to create what we desired
and become the cause. We were taught only to respond to the world.
The deepest origins of victim consciousness lie in the fact that we
had to give up our preferred way of being and doing in the world to
get the attention and affection of our care givers and what we
desired and wanted in life as we explored life. More importantly, in
not being allowed to be in our preferred way of being, we never felt
what our truth feels like freely expressed in Physical Creation
Four
aspects to our being and victim consciousness
(Top)
The question that ultimately needs
to be asked relative to creating a victim consciousness is, “What
part of ourselves did we learn to deny in this process?” To being to
understand how to address this question we need to realize that,
although we are an
infinite creative being, we can see the
human
being as a four stringed instrument possessing a spiritual, mental,
emotional and physical aspect. As the strings on an instrument, we
must learn to tune and play each one of these aspects of our being.
Spiritual aspect
(Top):
As discussed in the
Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective,
the consciousness within creation created an illusionary separation
such that each aspect of its being became an
independent point of consciousness
capable of awakening to the whole. As such there are
things that we know about Creation unique to who and what we are. It
is an awareness to which others can awaken but it is something we
carry and is natural and inherent to our being. The expression of
this aspect is the source of our
creative power and creative
ability. When we
access it and live it, we become the
source/Source of
creation/Creation. As we grow into it and awaken other aspects of
our being, we move from the awareness of the source to the awareness
of the Source. Yet, rather that being allowed to unfold the
spiritual truth within our being, we follow what others think is the
spiritual truth we need to know and to practice. Consequently, we
give away our
creative power and creative
ability when we do not
access the truth within our being. We seemingly become powerless in
certain situation and hence think we are a victim and are at the
mercy of the world or some external God. We fail to develop the
awareness within our own being as to the source/Source of our
creative power and creative ability. We are much like the eaglet and
the lion cub discussed in the topic, “The Human Condition as Seen
from the Creativity Perspective.”
Emotional aspect
(Top):
Whether we realize it or not, our
creative power
is accessed through
our feelings and what we sense. Unless we feel the need to act for
whatever reason we feel, we will not act. We need a flow of energy
within our being to make something happen. The greater the creative
effort, the greater the feelings, the
passion and the flow of energy
we need to have.
Emotions are simply
strong feelings labeled by the
mind. We need to be open to what we
feel and be allow to experience the feelings we have. This is
especially true early in life if for no other reason to know what we
feel and what it feels like to feel. Most of us are not allowed to
be in strong emotions and as such, we never learn to properly
channel the feelings into creating experiences which
serves us. If
we are not open to feeling, for whatever reason, there is a aspect
of our
creative power
which we deny. In denying that creative power,
there are areas in our life in which we become powerless or have
insufficient power to make certain things happen. Here again, we
then appear to be at the mercy of the external world.
Physical aspect - the
body (Top):
From a
creativity perspective, the body is a
creativity machine and
is a
vehicle for a physical experience. In particular, it is for a
particular type and kind of physical experience which we call the
human experience.. The body does two primary things for us. One is
that it grounds or direction our
creative life energy into the
physical experience. The second is that it allows us to take the
energy we sense and
the thought which arise from that energy and transform or convert it into
actions in the world. Yet, it helps to create a victim consciousness
in two ways.
The first way our body creates a victim consciousness is that our
consciousness incarnated into a body required us all to learn to
feel the body. We need to learn to its
pain, its hunger and its
tired. Any
pain we experience is our pain. No one can share our pain
the way we feel No matter how supporting and loving our care givers
may have been, the fact is that they could not and cannot remove our
pain. Although we many not want to feel pain, feel hunger or feel
tired, our consciousness seems to have little control over the body.
We seem controlled by our body and its pain. As a minimum, we can
expect that most of us feel somewhat controlled and dominated by the
needs of our bodies. We tend to identify ourselves with our bodies.
Many of come to feel and think we are our bodies because the needs
of the body and the experiences of the body so dominate our early
life.
The fact that we are susceptible to feeling
pain has been used by
many individual to control others. They do so by causing us to
experience pain at some level of our being to control one or more
aspects of our being. It is only natural to feel we are a victim
held captive by the body. Many spiritual traditions seek to
transcend the body and the body is seen as somehow less than that
which is spiritual. The body is seen as holding us back from our
true identity. It is quite natural for us to develop defense
mechanisms or methods of protecting ourselves from pain and/or
perceive pain or painful conditions.
The second way our body helps create a victim consciousness is that
to fully use the body as the creative tool that it is, we must learn
how to use it. We each need to be given a safe space to be allowed
to experience the range of what is possible in and with the body.
But each society, family and social structure has its way of
allowing the body to be used or not used. As such, there are aspects
of our
creative power and creative
ability we never tap into simply
because we have never been given the safe space to experience what
our body can do, experiment with how and what it senses and how it
response to what it senses to convert it into creative action. Here
again, by not experiencing the full range of
creative power and creative
ability to us, we become victim of situations in which we could
otherwise creatively respond.
Mental aspect
(Top):
The main way we develop a victim consciousness is that our
consciousness comes to believe we are our bodies and gives itself an
identity because of the experience we have in the body.
Consciousness defines itself by the experiences it has. Since we
forget our
transcendental mind and so many of our early experiences
are of the body, we identify with the body and treat aspects of our
consciousness as if it functioned as the body.
How this works is relativity quite simple. The brain of the body is
the central processing station for all the sensors the body possess.
It is the brain that assimilates and integrates all the sensor input
of the body into a composite picture of the condition of the body
and its environment. The brain’s primary function is to assimilate
all the sensory input to protect and regulate the body and assist
the body in living its physical existence.
Human experience has shown that individuals with dis-functional
brains, will not exhibit the type and kind of awareness and mental
capabilities that we consider as being a normal human. Hence the
brain is seen as the location of where our consciousness and
mind
reside. It is seen as the center of our thinking and seemingly our
awareness. Quite naturally, we associate our mind, that thinking,
judging and analyzing part of our consciousness with the brain and
head and attach the identity our consciousness forms about itself,
the
ego, to the body and the functions of the brain and its sensory
input. Our mind believe it is the experience of its sensors and our
ego comes to believe it is the experiences it has had.
Since most of our early life experiences are focused on learning to
utilize and manipulate our bodies, we tend to define ourselves by
the external experiences we have rather than by what experiences we
may have internal to our being. When we are young, and frequently
encouraged by our care givers, we tend to dismiss internal
experiences as the product of our imagination and not real. We tend
either disregard what we feel internally or look externally for what
is causing us to feel internally.
Additionally, the brain and the awareness of our
mind is focused on
protecting the body and surviving in the world. That need to protect
the body gets transferred to mind and mind learns to protect the
ego
it creates from the experiences it has in the body in the same way
it protects the body. It similarly protect what it thinks and
believes.
Mind in learning to protect the body creates the seeds of a victim
consciousness. That is, the consciousness within mind suffers and
feel
pain as a result of external influences on the body. Yet
consciousness never realizes that it is not experiencing the pain of
the body. Rather the body is experiencing the pain and the mind of
consciousness has simply identified itself as the body. The
consciousness had not realized what it feels is not determined by
the external world unless it choose to be so affected. Whether or
not our consciousness becomes a victim consciousness because of the
experiences it has had depends entirely as to whether or not we feel
we are powerless to negate or remove the controls of the external
world on the pain and discomfort that we feel within our being.
A victim consciousness is where our consciousness thinks we are a
victim controlled by our external word and that we are unable to do
anything about it and we lie at the mercy of these external
influences.
Victim consciousness boils down to not realizing that we can
create
something from nothing. That is, we can choose to experience joy and
happiness where there is none. We can choose to create joy within
our being even when the body is in
pain and suffering. That is what
it means to be the creator and to create something from nothing. The
world before is a world of form that arose out of the formless or
non-localized energy. It is no more real that what we create inside
ourselves. It is only a matter of what we believe and where we
choose to place the focus of our attention and awareness.
Addressing
victim consciousness (Top)
The seemingly easy, simple and
straight forward approach to addressing victim consciousness is to
first remove ourselves from the external power or situation that has
control over us. Then, look to see how or were we were allowing
ourselves to be a victim. That is, look to were we turned our
free will and power over to the one who was victimizing us. Then choose
to act in such a way where we no long give our power away.
Unfortunately, it is not that simple. The experiences we have in the
past is what determines how we frame or characterize any energy that
we experience. The fact that we remove ourselves from the experience
of being a victim and have created a different way of responding in
such situations does not remove from our
mind the fact that it may
have no other way to characterize the energy that we experienced
other than as being a victim.
The problem is that although we have seemingly forgiven and
forgotten what may have been done to us, the victim experience that
we had, suffering at the hands of another, may be the only
experience we had with that type and kind of energy. In the future,
every time we experience such an energy, our
mind frames it such
that we have victim’s response to that energy. That is, we implement
whatever defense mechanism that we developed to response to the
victimization that we had. Even if we catch ourselves following into
the role of a victim and response based on our new response
patterns, our mind still has the memories of being a victim.
A simple example. Someone leaves a metal rod half lying in the hot
coals of a fire place. Another tells us to take it out and put it on
the stone ledge surrounding the coals. Since we never did this
before, we grab the piece of metal and get burnt. We get angry at
the person whole told us to pick it up because they did not warn us
it was hot. We may forgive them and forget that they every told us
to pick it up, but every time we go to pick up a piece of mental in
what seems to be in potentially hot coals we will use something to
protect our hand for we will have experienced the energy of such a
situation as something that is can be hot and painful unless we are
protected. The protective action that we learn to implement to
prevent feeling
pain will be carried with us into the future. It is
very difficult to break the habit and trust that every piece of
metal half in hot coals will not be hot for our experiences would
suggest otherwise.
But there is nothing wrong in doing this. We do this same type of
thing for every experience of
pain that we have at every level of
our being. It makes a lot of sense to continue to utilize techniques
of the past when there is a real bonafide hazard and we can protect
ourselves from that hazard based on past experiences.
At first glance, nothing seems wrong with developing these
protective response patterns because we will learn to protect
ourselves in the future. However, there are two issue of which we
need to become aware when we develop response patterns.
Developing response patterns and what we think about the cause
(Top)
The first is to realize, “Whenever
someone tells us to do something in which there is a rather obvious
hazard, and they do not warn us about the hazard, are they
intentionally trying to hurt us?” What do we think about the person
who tells us and does not warn us. Do we see ourselves being used
and/or abused with no concern for our welfare on their part or do we
perceive them in some other way? What is important here is what we
think about them and what we are unwilling to do for ourselves.
If we think they are responsible for warning us of the hazards, we
are a victim for they have control over us. To not become a victim
requires us to know to ask if there are any hazards for which we
need to take protection. But we rarely do that for anything that
anyone asks of us or tells us to do. We then act based on their
request/direction and are somehow harmed or injured. When things
work in what we judge to be in our favor, we never question the
motives and interests of the person telling us or directing us to do
something. If however, we suffer some type of injury, there is the
possibility of us questioning the motives of the one who directed us
to act. It doesn’t matter what their motives really were. If we
believe they were out to harm us, we give our power away to them. We
then being to respond to them in a way we will protect ourselves
rather than to be open to what the situation has to offer. We being
to develop a victim mentality or approach about this person. Also,
our response may not always be conscious. We may response
consciously one way but
nonconsciously moving or positioning
ourselves to defend and/or protect ourselves.
The issue here, of course, is trust. Can we trust this person to be
concerned with our best interests This of course, brings up a very
interesting issue about victim consciousness. If we cannot believe
that a particular person would allow us to be harmed or even is
intentionally out to harm us, we create some “outside” force or
influence that is causing them to respond the way the do.
One of the more common and classic issue here is God and the Devil.
Many have characterized God as only capable of doing good and having
our best interests in Its actions. Hence, the need for a Devil. If
God can only do good, then there must be evil to account for things
that happen to us that God would not do to us. What we don’t
consider is maybe our understanding and concept of God is not quite
right. Maybe there is another way to view things. But this is true
about what we think about our mother, father, spouse, lover,
children, friends, enemy or anyone. That is, “Are we attributing
motives and actions to them which may not be true but only our
opinion, our judgement or out thinking imposed on them?”
What needs to be understood, is that whenever we attribute motives
to another which are not correct and cause us to response one way
over any other way, we are creating a victim consciousness. That is,
we are giving away our freedom to respond in the way that best
serves us. To response to a true outside hazard in the best way we
can allows us to move in a way that best
serves us. To response to
an illusionary hazard limits our freedom to do what best serves us.
Within the
creativity perspective, the recommendation made here is
to look carefully at the words that are spoken and the deeds that
are done and look to see if they are consistent with each other or
there is a disconnect. Does the individual’s action or the
experience we have about something bear the fruit of what we believe
about them. We know something works whenever we use or do something
in a particular way and we get the same, or at least similar,
results. If something does not give us consistent results we begin
to ask if maybe what we thought is not correct. The same is true for
anyone or anything in our life, including our ideas about God. If we
don’t challenge our own thinking, we are held victim by our own
thinking. We have a victim mentality.
A victim of our own thinking
(Top)
It is said above, there are two
issue of which we need to become aware when we develop response
patterns. The second issue is that as long as we are guaranteed that
the energy of the situation will always ways flow the same way,
using previously developed response patterns is a very wise way to
live.
However, the energy will not always flow or follow the path the path
that we expect. Energy will follow the
path of least resistance for
the situation as it is. We, as others, have a
free will and ability
to change the energy of the situation. We can become the cause if we
so choose. Even if we experience the exact same energy flow as the
past where our response pattern could be the perfect response
pattern, our own thinking will change the flow of energy for we are
not the person who responded in the past. We are a
creative living
process continually changing in response to the experiences we have.
When dealing with what we call the inanimate forces of nature, we
can almost always guarantee the energy will flow the
path of least resistance. Since, the energy flows through or around inanimate
objects, we can become quite good at predicting the flow pattern.
That is the whole basis of physics, chemistry and astronomy and, the
evidence suggests, that it is a correct understanding for how
successful physics, chemistry and astronomy have been at predicting
the outcome of any given arrangement of energy it studies.
However, when it comes to
pain that has been caused by another
individual, who has a
free will
and consciousness unto themselves, although the energy that is being
experiences may feel the same, we need to look carefully as to
whether or not we are open to what is as it is or we are judging the
energy from past and our
ego. When free will is involved, the energy no longer flows
along that initial
path of least resistance. It flows in the direction of where the
consciousness has focused it attention and awareness and a new
terrain or landscape is create for it to flow.
What needs to be understood here is this is true for us and or the
other individual. We each affect how the energy will flow. We can
surrender
to what is as it is or we can response based on how and
what we think and believe. When individuals are
out of mind,
out of the thinking, judging, analyzing and controlling part of
their being, the energy will flow according to the
path of least resistance for the arrangement of objects. When we are in our
thinking, judging, analyzing and controlling
mind, the energy flows
according to where and how our have focused our attention and
awareness.
Hence, if we have a perception and view that is characterized as
being a victim, a victim consciousness, every experience of energy
we have we will experience as a victim to some degree. Because we
have focused our attention and awareness on being a victim, that is
how we will experience the energy. The fact that a big powerful
person gets excited and forcibly tells us to stop doing something
does not necessarily mean they are trying to control us. They may
only be personally excited and are trying to prevent us from harming
ourselves. However, what we experienced is the past interprets that
excited energy as being another attempt by a powerful person to
control us.
But then how do we know that the seemingly controlling actions of a
powerful person truly have our best interest at heart and they are
protecting us. How do we know we are not being controlled and
manipulated for their ends? The answer, within the
energy consciousness perspective, is to understand whatever we experience,
we have chosen to experience at some level of our being for some
reason. If we cannot trust their action, we need to go within and
ask, “Why have I created this experience where I don’t know if I can
trust this person?” Similarly, if we feel fear, we need to ask,
“From where does this fear arise that I am experiencing?” Or, we may
simply need to ask, “Why did I create this person in my life such
that I am having this experience?”
If we listen to our
intuitive guidance, we will get a reply. We may
not like what we get, but we will get a reply. The question is do we
want to become consciously aware of how and why we create the
experiences we do or do we wish to remain in ignorance of our own
creative power and creative
ability. To remain in ignorance is to
remain in a victim consciousness. We have to take responsibility for
what we create, all of it, if we are going to step out of a victim
consciousness.
The
issue of ego and victim consciousness (Top)
The
ego is simply how our
consciousness has chosen to define itself based on the experiences
it has had. It is who we think we are and how we think the universe
operates. However, the consciousness that created the ego is much
more than the experiences it has had and used to define the
ego and
we have more than one ego. One is an enculturated
ego based on the
experiences of this life. The other is a
transcendent ego which is
based on the memories that you hold and carry your from life to
life.
Only the encultruated
ego and the physical body are actually touched
with anything that happens on the physical plane. What we carry with
us beyond the physical plane is our choice based on what we refuse
to let go. The aware consciousness that is witnessing the
experiences we have is untouched and unaffected by what it
experiences unless it chooses to be affected. There is no need to
transcend the physical plane. We only need to allow the energy of
each experience we have like the wind - coming with nothing and
leaving with nothing. Although the consciousness is never touched,
the enculturated ego is very subject to injury and much like the
body. Quite simply the reason for this is that it thinks it is the
body for it is the experiences of the body which give it its
identity.
If the enculturated
ego perceives someone intends harm it will
defend itself whether or not the individual means harm or not.
However, because of the experiences of life, the enculturated ego is
very wounded. It exist almost as an open wound. It remembers all
that has happened to it for what has happened to it is what defines
it. In the same way a cut will bleed blood, the enculturated ego
that is wounded bleeds
creative life energy and literally and
figuratively drains the energy that we use to create and sustains
the reality that we experience.
We only need to touch one of its painful memories and it will
response and remember the
pain. In doing so it will response in
anger, withdrawal or some similar defensive action and that
defensive action drains your power to respond. A simple word, a
gesture, by another that we may not even be aware of may be
sufficient to cause a response. The enculturated
ego always thinks
the other is responsible for causing our pain because the enculturated ego is defined by what you have experienced from our
external would. Obviously we feel pain when someone or something
external to us invades what is ours - our body, our beliefs, our
opinions, our space, our property. We carry our wounds with us. Our
whole enculturated ego is constructed of many wounds and we carry
them around everywhere. Our consciousness does moves to stop the
bleeding of our
creative life energy though these wounds by some
type “protective” action or defense mechanism.
The enculturated
ego itself is not the problem. The
mind defending
the enculturated ego and protecting it from the wounds of the past
is responsible for it holds to these defensive actions. In reality
we safeguard and protect our wounds rather than healing them. It
takes energy to maintain those defense and that is less energy
available for creation.
When one is capable of living without being tied to an enculturated
ego as a
detached witness, there is no enculturated ego to defend
There is no enculturated ego to be wounded. There are no open wounds
of the past. The individual is health, healed and whole. We needs to
become aware of our wounds and not help them to grow or to continue
to bleed.. Wounds only heal when we move to address the root of the
wound and remove the protective actions that we implemented that do
not allow them to heal.
The source of the wound is what the
mind holds and remembers. When
we move
out of mind
we move away form the wound and the wound heals.
With no mind or out of mind there is no wound on which to hold. When
we feel hurt we become disturbed and our attention and awareness
focuses on the
pain. That weakens our
creative power
because it
directs our energy into how to stop the pain, and/or how to get even
or obtain justice. We are hooked and give our power way for pain of
the wound is the focus of our attention and awareness. We give it
away to the one who appeared to cause our pain.
We can spend a whole life time of energy the more we nurture that
wound and “want justice or accountability” in that other individual.
No matter what happens to us and whatever
pain we feel, nothing can
take our
creative power
away unless we give it away. We give our
power away by financing those memories that demand justice and/or
retribution for the pain we have been given. Our creative power is
taken away simply because we focus our attention and awareness on
those memories.
Only we can recall and reclaim our energy. It is not about learning
to forgive and forget. It goes deeper than that. It is about
changing how we are allowing ourselves to experience the energy that
caused our
pain. We will continue to have those experiences that rob
us of our energy for as long as we hold onto to them as the way we
experienced the energy of Creation for we manifest that on which we
focus our attention and awareness.
The
bottom line of victim consciousness and victim mentality
(Top)
From an
creativity perspective and
how
energy and consciousness interrelate to create our experiences,
no one makes us a victim. We determine if we are a victim or not no
matter what happens to us. We may create situations unknowingly that
cause us to experience situation were we could say we are a victim
but no one truly makes us a victim.
Within the
energy consciousness understanding, the person in front
of us is only there to give us the experience we ourselves desire at
some level of our being. We question their motives for doing what
they do to us and we question God and Creation for allowing us to
experience things which are unpleasant. However, we rarely stop to
look at the question, “What is really the nature of Physical
Creation?” We have our ideas of how we think Physical Creation
should be and how our lives should be. Maybe we are totally correct.
But maybe we need to create it for what we desire is not the current
way Physical Creation works.
Any creation starts with what is, as it is. It, or a part of it, is
then transformed into the desired creation. We hold a victim
consciousness or a victim mentality whenever, for whatever reason,
we refuse to look at what is, as it is and begin there. People are
what they are. Creation is what it is. To give either any
creative power
other than what is, is to adopt a victim mentality for we are
giving away our creative power in the process. Simply to believe
anything happens to us without our participation at some level of
our being is to give a way our creative power. We may not like what
we experience and we many not have known exactly what we would be
experiencing when we made or choice, we nevertheless, made the
choice to experience what we do.
We need to accept what is, as it is, and start there. It is there we
are at the point of our
creative power. It is to be present to the
moment and what each moment has to offer without the biases of our
own mind.
