See Through Illusions

"Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past." -- Richard Bach Things are not always as they seem, yet sometimes we can get swept up in things that normally wouldn't bother us at all. Radio show host James Arthur Jancik recently asked me how I could be so consistently positive with so many problems in the world today at the beginning of my recorded November 12th interview Feet to the Fire radio interview, and I replied that the main reason I have such a positive attitude is that I know how much worse things can be. I have memories of a highly unpleasant possible future in which people willingly relinquished autonomous thought in order that they might live more comfortably. Order was maintained in that future society by psychic thought police, who made it their job to prevent anyone from initiating or encouraging independent ideas. Since I find myself living in a period of time in which so many potential futures still remain possible, my attitude is one of optimism. My perspective is that of a joyful time traveler with a clear sense of purpose to help people understand the power of choosing our thoughts and feelings in such a way that we may create the best possible reality. When we are consciously aware of various possible futures and possible pasts, we can hone our reality selection skills, and become better able to make choices for the here and now that align with our most preferred futures and pasts. You can practice positively influencing your future by thinking about about something you're looking forward to until you begin feeling excited and enthusiastic; this will help ensure good things will indeed come to you. You can practice positively influencing your past by thinking about everything you're grateful for and most appreciate; this will help to ensure that your past has been very supportive and helpful to you. You can practice positively influencing this present moment by doing a meditation now involving breathing out all your fears, doubts, worries, guilt and other negative feelings... and then breathing in the purest, unconditional love. Wishing you the best possible past, the best possible future, and the best possible now, Cynthia Sue Larson
