Experiences, Is That Who We Are?

We go through our lives, and we all experience various things. As these experiences build up we begin to formalize an idea in our head as to who we are. This can be good or bad, either way our life becomes the experiences, and we we  believe we are those experiences. Thus our life goes on and the negative experiences build up and we cry out, “Woe is me!”.

I am saying we can choose not to be those experiences. I am who I am and hold the image in my mind of a healed, shamanic practioner, a healer and spiritual counselor. Yet those experiences tell me different right? They are experiences I go through, and my life experiences them but they are not who I am.

Here is another thing to add to that. Out of what we choose at any moment are infinite possibilities, infinite alternate realities, for an outcome. Out of those infinite possibilities we can pick the one we want, regardless of our experiences now we can choose the outcome we want!

This is what I have done. My life is slowly moving in that direction, no rapidly moving in that direction. I could have stayed and listened to the years of of self neglect, and hatred, drug abuse, body destruction, and the death of close loved ones and I could have stayed the used man. Hoping for a better day. But I chose not to, I chose the image, the one possible outcome that would be the opposite of what I went through.

Doing so meant some radical changes, but I am making it, and I am becoming that which I have embraced, and not what I experience.

To bring into existence we need to observe the outcome we desire, know it in our hearts, feel it, think it. Then watch it grow.
