The idea that “you” create everything in your life isn’t the truth; it’s a powerful place to stand. If you take it literally, you’ll waste your life trying to figure out inexplicable suffering in your own life and the lives of others. You’ll blame yourself for your worst fears and biggest shortcomings. You’ll believe in the nebulous idea that you “vibrationally” created the murder of your own brother – even though you can’t figure out how… and you’ll drive yourself mad trying to figure out how “you” created such an experience.

You won’t stop to question, hey, wait a minute, what if I didn’t create the experience of my brother being murdered? What if… that is an assumption?

There is a fine line to walk when you believe yourself to be the creator of your entire reality. It’s easy to take credit for the wonderful things, but the suffering makes you pause. Perhaps that pause within suffering is there to open a tiny pinhole for you to peek through to see what is actually doing the creating…

Perhaps you aren’t the creator, and perhaps that’s actually where your power has been all along… perhaps the misattribution is so slight it’s difficult to see until you experience a major tragedy or serious illness… to see that even when you create intentionally, it’s still not your creation… you had nothing to do with it… to see the empowerment in that, the freedom…

“I create my reality” is a powerful place to stand and serves a purpose – to help you see something deeper and more profound than the mistaken belief that you, the personality, are creating.

If you can create something without conscious knowledge of it, that should be a clue to what is (or isn’t) doing the creating. You do create your reality, but the “you” that is doing the creating is not the “you” you think you are…
