Living in Joy: Discovering Your Preferences

                                                           
The influx of the great waves of energy are commanding a consciousness shift. The increase light is entering us all and as its flows in it dislodges any and all of the old reality, old beliefs and misqualifications of who each of us is. No one is immune.
Thus Source and the Heart of you is propelling you forward into an expanded consciousness and you are more and more frequently experiencing the discomfort of “sitting still too long”, holding to all the little fears that you have attached to in order not to make the leap forward. You are now at a stage when it is not only inevitable that you are on the move but it is also imperative and self evident to you that you really and truly must let go of virtually everything you have known. As we have seen you cannot sit on the fence and wait. Once you know you need to move you cannot ‘not know’. You can no longer hide or procrastenate, it hurts in your heart too much. You must start choosing your own direction and follow the feelings as they point you in the direction of your transformation. And your choosing  becomes a matter of necessity in order to ride the waves of change. You are being required to decide, entirely by yourself, what your own preferences for life are, right down to the next breath and move you make. This is now entirely up to you, your responsibility. You are being guided, and prodded to make your own requests and form your own intentions for your life. As a conscious creator in training, you are learning to ask for what you really want, and because of long time deprivation, learning exactly what to ask for is a vital part of the transition because you have forgotten what you know.
It is in the learning of what really matters and our own preferences that our emotions are so critical. They tell you how aligned you are with the direction you wish to go. Emotions say how aligned your intent is with your preference. So to feel emotions that are uncomfortable and discordant is a sign of misalignment of where you are with where you  really want to be.
Abraham-Hicks would say “If you are not asking for anything beyond what you already have, you are not sending the source within you to any new vibrational places on your behalf, thus you would stand where you are and not feel any discord”. The tricky thing about this is, as we have seen, that the entire Universe is set up to cause you to expand, so you cannot stand still. In every moment where you stand there is contrast that is causing you to expand, to make a choice. And if you do not go with the expansion then you feel the resistance of being pulled apart.
When you feel elation it means that you are expanding, and in that moment of thought you have gone with the expansion. When you feel love then it means that you have expanded, and in this moment of thought you have gone with the thought of love. When you feel interest, excitement, passion, when you feel tuned in and resonant, that means you have expanded and in that moment you are not doing that thing that you often do that is keeping you from being with who you really are. But if in any moment you feel frustration, or anger, or fear, you feel powerless, you feel all those negative emotions that feel so awful to you, all that it means is that in  that moment there is something going on in your mind, probably talking about it (to yourself in your head or to others ), where you are not anywhere near the vicinity of who you really are and the negative emotion that you feel is your indication of separation, or more accurately that you are not keeping up with you.
If life was not causing you to expand there would be nothing to keep up with. Maybe you think that if contrast were not everywhere you look then you would not expand, and if you did not expand then you would not have to move, and if you did not have to move then you could sit on in the familiar, in the safe place, in the place of no effort.  However as we have already said there is no chance because you cannot cease to be standing in the middle of a huge feast of possible experiences that are causing you to constantly expand. We are all eternally focussed beings. Which means you are all selfishly focussed, we all are, and we cannot help, at all levels of our being, including cellular levels, to continue to ask for improvement. If it were not for the contrast, you could not ask for the improvement, but the very contrast that is responsible for the improvement is the contrast that you use as your excuse to not move to not to go further.
For example, you have a friend (enemy), who is harassing you into expansion (changing your view of yourself and the world). This friend has been giving you grief for a long time and you can’t shake loose of this friend because you talk (or think) about this friend so much that the Law of Attraction keeps this friend right in your space. And if you are able to remove yourself from the vicinity of that friend by moving across the world another one takes that friends place almost immediately, because when you have something active in your vibration the Law of Attraction just brings it on all over again.
So you have this friend harassing you into expansion. That friend doesn’t know that they  are suppose to do everything possible to make you feel bad. That friend is following the nature of his true selfish self, and he is doing everything that he can to make himself feel better. So this friend is harassing you into expansion, and doing it well because this friend has been there for a long time, been a thorn in your side,  and causing you to expand. This person has been a part of your huge expansion. The source within you has benefited enormously because of this uncomfortable relationship. This friend is responsible for your expansion. But you are now using this friend, this contrasting experience, as an excuse for not keeping up with the expansion this friend caused you to have. That is why you are extra mad at this friend. You are tied together vibrationally. This friend is a co-conspiritor in  your expansion, but you are using the details of this relationship as your reason not to expand and that is why you cannot get your mind off this innocent enemy. That is why everything seems to be that person’s fault.
When you do this then it becomes generalised, there is always that person, then someone else, and then someone else as your reason for not feeling good. There is always something as your current excuse to not let you feel good. ”If I could just conquer this last enemy and grind them to dust, then in the absence of problem people I would feel good.”  You cannot rid the world of things that bother you, you have to rid your vibration of things that bother you. And when you rid your vibration of things that bother you, no things that bother you will come. But you cannot rid your vibration of anything because the very thing that you are trying to rid yourself of is now active in your vibration. You say to yourself “I’m not going to think about you.” But you are thinking of them in saying this. You cannot rid anything from your vibration because there is no exclusion in this attraction based Universe. In an attraction based Universe there is only inclusion. Remember you are about expansion and inclusion. Thus when you look at at anything or anyone and you say “yes” to it you include it in your vibration. But when you look a thing and shout “No” at it you include it in your vibration. So the only way you can stop something that you don’t want is by giving your attention to what you do want.
But you have to take small steps, you cannot, all of a sudden, switch to another channel. You can only move incrementally up the emotional scale. If you have trained yourself into a frequency of complaint about something you are saying “I really need you to be in alignment so that when I look at you I am then in alignment with who I am”. You are asking the impossible. What you have to do is to take control of your own vibration and to really feel the truth of “It is not my job to be in alignment in order for me to feel good. It is my job to look around my environment, past, present, and future for things that line me up with who I really am”. To look for what your preferences really are and to starts intending, expecting and experiencing their manifestation.
You are looking for love in all the wrong places. The place you are going to find it is in this expanded you, this energy you, the part of it that is love. It will come from your discovery of what your preferences are in whatever you experience. It will be in how you choose to experience any moment of your life. Living your preferences will be living in joy. And it is your own preferences that make you unique.
