Emmanuel on Success
We will talk with you a moment regarding your perceptions that opened within your idea of what success could be. As many of you within your realm believe that the house in which you live, the money that you make, from whatever means that have you working hard, the clothes that you buy and you wear so proudly, and what you do for leisure time – you take these ideas and fit them in to what you believe about success.
But many of you have broadened what you believe about success and what you believe about yourselves. And in this your ideas seem to split open at the seams. Your ideas seem to blossom into more that you previously perceived. And instead of envisioning steps and goals for you to achieve, you envision not things or symbols of your success but your visual field is taken up by the notion of an expanding state of consciousness. And although this appears to be quite fuzzy to your perceptions because it does not take shape in abstract terms, it still holds within it the representation of that success.
You are not used to looking at this portion of your reality. You are not used to looking forward into the realm of the novel and the expanding state of consciousness. You have blocked this from your perception for quite some time.
So in this expanding sense of your awareness you view these supposed grey areas and it disturbs you quite well that you cannot delineate one thing from another within those moments even when they are quite close to you in proximity. You have a difficult time with identifying such behaviors, actions, and experience. We are talking abstractly and symbolically.
So understand that this idea, this rendering, is given for a select few who will understand this to the very core. Now there is a time that does light upon your reality where these abstract images and symbols do take shape and you are able to experience such events. But the way or the means to bring this about is to trust your very nature. Trust the self. Trust in the broadened perceptions although they may bring discomfort. The discomfort is an expanding, stretching of previous limits and previous consideration of possibilities.
(chuckles) Yes indeed, the term ‘possibilities’ creates within it a set of limits. Possibilities by the very nature of that definition, is a defined set of experiences that bring about an expectation. Know what when we speak of this new experience, the actions that are laid out in front of you, those actions are highly related to your intuitions. And the reason why these events are so abstractly understood is because {pause} you have little expectation for the failure of such events. And the reason why is because you trust yourself that much more.
So these symbolic events do not represent grand successes in your previously-set out terms. In this, you do not find or expect the failure within these experiences. The events are free to take shape based upon your creative power, of course, but they are set free because of the trust you have for yourself. In your terms, it would be called a predecessor. But within the terms of inner reality, or the un-terms of that realm, one thing never comes before the other as there is not a before, there is only now.
We have not at this time gone into the accepting of all experience and expressing of all emotions. You are accustomed to this. You are learning and developing in these areas, and this experience, this stage you are in, opens to you those symbolically-driven future moments that will appear to you to be quite strange and undefined and abstract, conceptually.
This is also the stretch, the broadening, of your perceptions. This is also you finding more of yourself, of your accepting all of your experiences, and those that are defined as well as those that are undefined.
And this is Emmanuel and we will leave you at this time with a great sense of vagueness.
