Life is and then we tell ourselves a story. Our stories create our experience of reality. Are stories are so familiar to us and so real that we forget they are stories based on our filter system. At any given moment we have an infinite number of choices yet our stories limit us to what is familiar. We are blind to the infinite possibilities that exist in every moment. All we are able to see, based on our filter system, are the same old options.
We are limitless yet we seldom experience our limitless nature. We are way too busy arguing for our limitations to experience the infinite possibilities life contains.
What you say! That sounds rather harsh. Me, argue for my limitations. No way. Of course I want to experience myself as a limitless being. I want to be happy. I want to have more money. I want to have peace of mind. Well, if you are really honest with yourself you’ll have to admit that if you aren’t happy it because you tell yourself stories that don’t create happiness.
Life is, then you tell yourself a story and then you have an experience. Your experience has very little to do with life and everything to do with your story. There is no need to change life, all you really need to change is your story. Unfortunately we are so attached to our stories that we have forgotten they are stories and have begun to believe they are facts, pieces of information that are based on the truth. There is no such thing as the truth, the truth is always relative, and not relative to the truth but relative to our perspective – to our story.
If you want to be happy tell yourself happy stories. If you want to be rich worrying about money won’t get you there. If you want intimacy open your heart and love. Chances are, if you want a sense of intimacy you don’t already have, the reason you don’t have it is – drum roll please – based on your story. Bottom line – what is in your life is there because you want it and what isn’t in your life isn’t there because you don’t want it.
Awareness is one of the keys to personal freedom – to our ability to experience ourselves as limitless beings. Becoming aware of our stories is the first step toward changing our experience of life.
But what about fighting for a cause? What about what we know is morally right? Well what is right is based on our story and as far as causes, aren’t we more likely to affect change when we are connected to our spirit than when we are reacting to our story? Going back to choices – when I tell myself a story and believe it, I limited my capacity to see any of the other possibilities. When I drop my story, accept what is, I can allow myself to see the issue from many different perspectives and my options expand. Then I can ask myself the questions what do I want to create right now and make choices based on that desire.
Just some thoughts. What stories is your mind telling you right now about the idea of changing your stories? Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy and free? The choice is yours, moment by moment and you can see your choice by looking at your life.
As an exercise set your intent to see your stories and allow yourself to love them for what they are, great stories! Then decide if that is what you want to continue to create.
Loving all of life, because I tell myself great stories,
Susan

I never cease to be amazed by this magical place called physical reality. I am currently on a cruise ship. IONS is sponsoring a Cruise of Consciousness so there are 300 people on a spiritual adventure and then the rest of the boat on a cruise where most people seem to be eating and drinking as much as they can.
When I was a student Miguel often suggested I go and watch people energetically, without judging them. It was easy to watch and took practice to observe without judging them or making up a story about who they were. People watching here could be a full time occupation.
As I sit here on the deck there are families, an older woman in a wheel chair, young singles, fat people, thin people, drunk people, happy people, sick people, happy children and unhappy children. We are all in the same place yet so many different experiences.
I am sure some of them have noticed this woman sitting in the shade working on her computer and have an opinion about that. I love life and love this time/space continuum where we can create anything we want when we want it.
In the midst of the chaos I am certainly enjoying the ocean breeze, the gentle rocking of the boat and the freedom to do whatever I want with the day. So as I finish this post, I send you the reader the energy of freedom and joy.
In each moment we have at our disposal unmanifested energy of creation and we are the sculptors of our reality. What are you going to do with the energy of the rest of your day, your week, your life? We mold that energy thought by thought. What is it you want to create?
You can do anything with this moment, once you acknowledge you can do anything with this moment. The only limitations that exist are the ones we impose upon ourselves.
Take a deep breath and enjoy the gift of this moment!
With love and aloha,
Susan

I’m just writing a quick note to let you know I’ve decided ask for some help to publicize my new book, The Encyclopedia of Angels.
To help get the word out and I’ve contacted some of my favorite people and asked for a really big favor.
What did I want?
Well, I asked them each if if they would be willing to give you some of their best materials for free as a way to support my book and help me get the word out.
So far, I’ve had a fantastic response to my request and can tell you that the number of bonuses is looking pretty amazing.
I’m still confirming things and don’t have all the details yet, but believe me, this is looking absolutely wonderful right now!
I DO know that some of the bonuses are so good that only a small number will be available to the first who order.
If you want to be on the early notifications list and be one of the first to know, just sign up and I’ll send you a note as soon as the page is live.
This is truly a great opportunity and if you would like to be a part of it and get a bunch of marvelous self-development materials for free, go sign up now.
