"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." - George Bernard Shaw

 

Hmmmmmmm.......The search for the "self" ... is it like a cat chasing its tail?

 

This idea is quite comforting and reminds me once again how our choice of words can impact our experience so profoundly. All of the great thinkers tell us that we are here to create, why do we spend so much time looking for something to distract us? I've been super guilty of this...I think somehow it seems so much "safer" to look "out there" instead of inside. One of my greatest fears has been "What if I don't find anything?"

 

I hallucinate that most people are unaware that their daily experience is a direct result of their habitual thinking - if everyone were super conscious of this....would we consciously create our moment to moment experience and then be able to truly realize that heaven exists all around us..right NOW?

 

I heard somewhere that we have like 64,000 thoughts a day, maybe more...the problem is everyday most of these thoughts are the same as they were the day before. Perhaps a combination of meditating (working towards a place of no thought) and also exposing ourselves to new material and different experiences we can shift our experience and learn how it really feels to be a Creator.
