Since our inner world is reflected in the outer and the human physical experience is our consciousness expressed physically, our external world reveals our inner world and communicates with us information about our inner world and what we desire in our nonconscious mind. We just need to learn how our outer world communicates with our inner world and learn the language of the inner world to use our outer world to reveal the inner.

The way the external world speaks to the internal world has been seen in different ways in different traditions. Many ancient traditions used oracles. Many shamans and indigenous healers used what were called familiars. Jung and the modern world use synchronicity. The theologians use mysticism, miracles and signs. Many of us have used voices. Many have used channeled beings. Although it may not appear as so, these are all the external world speaking to us and representative of the reality we have created. It is unfortunate that we live in a world of separation and we need to look to external conformation of that which is already inside us.

It is the intuitive side of our being which provides the door way to the communication from the external world. However, many modern societies emphasize the conscious to almost the exclusion of our intuitive guidance and nonconscious communication. We need to understand that we need to find our truth within and then project it out, creating our world, rather than taking what we see outside us inward and creating more of the same of what is outside of us

We need to understand, what is in front of us, no matter how we judge it, is only the external work providing us the experience we ourselves have requested at some level of our being. We need to pull the string on why we have the experience we do and ask our intuitive guidance the equivalent of: "Why am I having this particular experience and what beliefs do I carry are giving rise to this experience?" We then simply need to be open to what our intuitive guidance provides..

Related to this approach is one of the quickest ways to see what fears may be creating our life is if we consciously scan what is being reflected from our external world, moving from person to person, object to object. For each one, go inward and look to see if any feelings arise. For the purpose of this exercise, we can assume we are in a stage play which we create and the player and the events in our life that we are experiencing. If the feelings are positive and enthusiastic as we focus on an object or person, then it is probably something we are actively desiring and wanting. The object or person of our focus is a contributing performer in our play. We interact with them to make the play and provide the dialogue.

If there are no feelings arising or they are neutral, then probably what we have created is "filler" or backdrop and we are using the current collective reality to fill our backdrop and for furnishing the setting of our stage play of this life’s experience. These people and things are no more than props for our performance. In the same way a stage play may provide a scene in a train station with trains and many people coming and going, the play is focused on two lovers saying good by. Neutral feelings are representative of the trains and all the people coming and going. Positive feelings are that which we interact with to give the performance - the partner in the good-bye scene.

If we have negative feelings of any type, there is probably something that we fear, but because we are fearing it, we are pumping creative emotional energy into it and pulling it into our life. It is recommended these are things on which we pull the string to change and turn what is giving rise to the fear into props that only support our performance, as opposed to be a contributing performer in our stage play determining the direction of our play.

Returning to our train station example, the negative feelings would be representative of the police or the mob who are looking for the one who has to say good-bye and get on the train to leave because they are "on the run." In our mind we run from our fears and those fears are determining the play as active players not as neutral actors. Turning the fears into neutral effects would be similar to changing the pursuing police or mobsters into a policeman doing their routine job, not concerned with the lovers, and the mobsters, being mobsters, coming and going about their work (extorting, racketeering, attempting to pay off the policeman, etc.), like anyone else in the scene.

It should be noted that we could be very easy turn the entire train station good-bye scene into a major disaster scene in our life by the entrance of only one fear represented by a mad gunman, a train derailing as it was pushed back into the siding, a major fire or explosion at the station, say a terrorist’s bomb going off. What kind of fear in our life would it take to turn such a pleasant good-bye scene into such a disaster in our life? We need to realize it’s our fear. It is our stage play and our fears that are bringing all the negative action to the scene. What is it we are holding onto that we fear losing? We write the play and we act it out any way we like based on our intentions and our beliefs.

Another way to recognize our fears and the existence of certain beliefs in our belief structure is in observing what we do and how we respond to our world and how we explain to ourselves or others why certain things happen to people the way they do. How we explain the actions of others is what we believe about the world and how we believe the world acts upon us. We need to observe how we view the world, what we see and how you explain it. That explanation reflects our beliefs. Basically we wouldn't say what we do if we didn't believe it at some level. Even if we say, "I don't know why I said that," it is how we are seeing and viewing the situation.

A close corollary to this is that, we wouldn't think what we think if we were not capable of holding the belief, or beliefs that originates the thought. We need to become aware of the statements containing comparisons, judgments and criticisms relative to others and relative to the self. Besides these statements creating and reinforcing fear and anxiety, they are reflective of the fears and anxieties we already hold at some level.

Closely related to this is what makes us angry. Attacking with anger is fear. When, for whatever reason we get angry, we are not able to control what is happening and we get angry. What is it, or why is it, we want to control? Only we can answer that question. We are not getting what we want in some way so we are angry. Our beliefs and expectations are not in agreement with what is. What is it we fear that we need to become angry? If we don’t address this fear and anger, it will manifest at some level including tension and a dis-ease of some type in our body.

There are two other aspects of recognizing our fears and the existence of certain beliefs in our belief structure in observing what we do and how we respond to our world. The first is how difficult is it to follow our own guidance and why? When we know something, whether it be a fact of the mind, an intuitive knowing or a feeling or sensation we are having in the body, why do we not follow its guidance? What is it that we fear, what is it that we doubt, that we cannot reply on our own knowing? Remember the discussion on mistakes. Mistakes are only the minimum things you need to learn to become successful. Only we can look within and determine what it is that we fear such that we cannot follow our own guidance.

The second item is why can we not speak truthfully at all times, on all things? Why can’t we speak and be our truth? What do we fear? We need to remember the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. If we cannot stand in our nakedness, fully exposed before God, then we will be condemned to live our life in pain and suffering - a pain and suffering of our own making and not a judgment by God. Only we can stand before our God, no one else can do if for us. Others may be there with us to support us, but only we can speak our truth.
