Secrets of Mind and Reality - MindReality.com

Are there times when it almost seems like you are finally going to reach your goal, but then something shows up in the way and puts it out of reach once again or makes you feel that you are never going to get it? The truth is you are never closer to your dreams than when you are facing a big obstacle that threatens to push you further away than ever before. The reason why that obstacle shows up is because you are just about to grasp what you really want at last.
 
Just when you thought that the way is finally open for you, just when you thought you are finally getting your breakthrough. Then what you experience next causes you to be disappointed once again. Because the results that got is far less than what you expected. Or things might even appear worse in some ways than before. It can put you into such distress and frustration because you don’t know what else to do to make it work.
 
The reason why darkness appear, is to allow you to experience the light even more. You can’t feel like light when you are surrounded by light. The time you never felt more like light is when you are in the midst of darkness. Opposites make each other. Light and darkness define each other. Success and failure define each other. You can never fully know something without knowing its opposite.
 
Whenever you create a dream, the universe will bring in opposing circumstances, not to deter you from achieving the dream, but to allow you to experience the fullness of that dream. If you set a goal to be abundant, you may start experiencing situations of lack. This is so that you will be able to experience what abundance really means, and to show the world that you really can make it into being abundant even against the appearance of lack.

Whenever you decide to create something, you create its opposite as well. This is how the universe works, yin and yang balance each other. The aim is to match your strength of yin with the opposing force of yang, or your strength of yang with the opposing force of yin. You can either allow the opposite of what you are creating to diminish what you are creating and thereby neutralizing your act of reality creation, or you can use it to enforce your reality creation powers.

There are only two illusions that you need to overcome in this world. The first is the illusion that you cannot create what you want, and the second is the illusion of darkness. When you seek to create what you want, you will be presented with the opposite situation that makes it seem that you cannot create what you want. The truth is you can create anything you want, if only you can overcome the illusion that you cannot create what you want.
 
For every action, there is an equal an opposite reaction. But if you allow the opposite reaction to cancel out your action, then you will be left with nothing. Maintain the action that you are making and you will manifest that which you are creating eventually. When you increase the action, you increase the opposite reaction. Therefore the more you want to create, the stronger you must become in the face of opposing situations that appear.
 
What happens when you make a decision to move in the direction of you dreams? You will find that the obstacles no longer stop you. When you move towards the darkness, the darkness will move away from you. That is because you are the light. Light and darkness cannot occupy the same space. All of a sudden, you can become really confident, because when you move towards the darkness, you are moving towards your dreams. The darkness cannot stop you because it is only an illusion.
 
After you feel the despair, disappointment and thoughts of giving up, the answer to carry on comes right when you need it. You can choose to focus on it and let it lead you on, or you can let the negative overwhelm you into turning the other direction. Many man have quit without realizing how close they were to success. Success is the ability to move from one failure to the next without loss of enthusiasm. Accept your failure and then proceed as though no failure occurred. Pick yourself up again and ride.
 
Everything happens for a purpose. There is always something good out of it. Everything is a test to see if you really have the being for the having. When you experience failure to manifest what you want, you can give up believing in your ability to create what you want, or you can use it to reinforce the truth that you can create anything you want. The universe will keep testing your commitment to your dreams, and when you keep passing the test, magic will keep happening.
 
Realize that when you face big obstacles, it means you are getting closer to your dreams. When you encounter failure, it means you are getting even closer to success. You are at a stage where you are so close to moving to the next level that everything can either fall apart, or be transcended. Depending on how you view it and how you act upon it, your experience will unfold either into progression or regression.
 
Know that as long as you are able to do your main work, it means that you are able to serve and therefore you can be happy about it. Even if you are not getting the results that you want, it doesn’t matter because your ability to create is primary and the results are secondary. Stay on purpose and not on outcome. You have to use every empowering thought and perception to keep you on your path and moving in the direction of your dreams.[/hidepost]
