There is No Reality
Aside from Your Definition of it!
We have discussed quite a few times in these conversations with each and every one of you the notion of what it takes to change your reality, to be what you want it to be. We have discussed in great detail from time to time, the tools that are necessary for you to be able to consciously apply different ideas to your belief systems, and your reality in order to affect the changes that you desire, and to allow them to remain in your lives.
We have talked about the idea of how important it is to get in touch with this idea of definitions, and beliefs, for those are the things that actually determine what you experience your reality to be, on a day, to day, basis. And we have talked about the idea of motivation that at every given moment you are choosing whatever it is, that is your behavior; whatever it is, that is the reflective experience that is the result of your behavior. Choosing these things. Motivated to choose these things based on the strongest definition that has been entrained within your consciousness since childhood. In other words, the strongest belief you have about what is possible in reality, or lack of possibility in reality, is what motivates you to choose the kind of paths, the kind of behaviors, make the kind of choices that you do in life, and thus get the kinds of results that you get.
The idea we have discussed also, from time to time, is that in getting in touch with the definitional systems within you, that may be responsible for the realities you are getting, that you don’t prefer, in discovering what definitions you would prefer to replace the old definitions with, so as to create reality more in keeping with your preferences. We have not gone into great detail, though we have mentioned it from time to time, about exactly what happens in that threshold between recognizing old belief, and transforming it into the new belief.
There is a threshold that is crossed. In talking with you, we find that many of you feel there is difficulty in going from the old belief, to the new belief, in the sense of, as you say in your language “making the new belief stick.” Many times you say you seem to go back to choosing the old way, the old belief. You cannot bring yourself, for some reason, to simply allow the new belief to seem as real as the old belief. You cannot find yourself being motivated strongly enough, to allow the new belief to maintain itself, to be in force, because you are in such of a pattern, so familiar with the old belief, that you seem more naturally to simply gravitate back to that particular style, instead of being able to allow yourself to continue to choose the belief you say you prefer.
The idea of assisting each and every one of you to allow the new belief to be easier to choose, so you won’t necessarily feel that the old belief has any more power than the new belief, is to understand exactly what is happening when you cross that threshold from old, to new definitions. That threshold is not just a line that you cross. It is a place, in and of itself. It is an energy, in and of itself. It is a reality, in and of itself. Most importantly, it is recognition, in and of itself that you need to have in order to understand why you can allow the new belief to remain in force just as strongly, as the old belief is.
This threshold, expanded from the notion of just a line that you cross, expanded into an actual place you can occupy, that you can actually spend some time in. You can spend time in the crossing place, in the crossing point. This crossing point, and why most of you don’t realize that it is a place to actually spend time in; this crossing point is by its very nature, the UNKNOWN.
The unknown itself. It is the recognition that there is no reality aside from what you define reality to be. And this is why very often, you miss it, and jump over it so quickly, is, because it doesn’t appear to exist to you. It doesn’t appear real to you. And so you don’t spend any time getting use to the fact that when you let go of an old belief, you need to spend time getting use to the fact that there is no real reality. If you understand there is no real reality, you will not feel that the old belief represents a more real reality, than the new belief, and will not feel yourself drawn back to it, as if it were somehow more real, more solid, than any new belief you wish to incorporate into your mind, into your consciousness.
You need to take time between the old belief, and the new belief, to really understand, to really get a feeling that there is no reality, except for the fact that there is no reality. Did that sound contradictory? There is no reality, except that there is no reality. That there is no reality is the real reality.
The unknown is what you need to make a friend of. You have to let yourself be all right with the recognition. You have to let it be all right to spend time in the unknown. You have to let it be all right to have the recognition that there is no real reality aside from your definition of the idea of reality. That then creates your experience of reality.
Even your own scientists know this now. Many of your physicists are finding that it is the very heart of many of their theories of reality, that there is no reality, empirically, inherently. That you are responsible for creating your reality based on your view of what you think it can be. So, when you find yourself experiencing any degree of difficulty in incorporating a new reality, you will usually find, not in all cases, but very often, you will usually find that it is because you have some idea that there is suppose to be some notion of reality that is real, against which you are suppose to
measure your new reality, to see if you can find yourself lacking, or wanting, or to see how close you match this idealized real reality. But no matter what idealized idea that you come up with, that is still your creation.
There is no real reality aside from your definition of it. So you are only measuring against yourself. Not against any real background of reality, to find yourself wanting, to find yourself coming up short, as you say. There is nothing to find yourself coming up short against. You are it, in your universe. You are it!
So, when you get in touch next time with an old definition, a belief system that you no longer prefer to live by, then take some time, even if you have already defined a new definition for yourself. Before you incorporate it, before you cross the threshold, letting go of the old one, and attempting to incorporate the new definition. Take some time, and spend some time in the middle, between those two definitions, getting use to the fact that no one definition is any more real than any other definition because there is no reality, other than what you say it is. And when you really let that sink in, when it becomes a real visceral feeling for you, that there is no reality, when you are finally comfortable with the unknown totally, then it will be easier for you to accept the new definition as being just as real, because you will finally realize that reality is up to you. That the degree of reality something has, the degree of reality a definition has, is completely up to you to determine.
So, play with that threshold. Spend some time there. You will get use to it. You will find actually that you will come to enjoy it. Do not be afraid of the unknown. The unknown is your friend. The unknown is the place, the crucible, the forge in which you really make the greatest changes in your life. It’s where you can decide who you will become completely, and utterly in that moment, and thus then experience the reality, that is the reflection of that decision, completely, and utterly, from that moment forth.
E: Based on what you just said. Because I have been living there for the past week. I have really been experiencing that –
B: The unknown? The lack of any empirical reality? Is that to which you are referring?
E: Yeah. I just got to the point where I just didn’t know who the heck I was any more.
B: Congratulations. Very often it is important for all of you to get to the point where you don’t know who you are, before you can finally allow yourself to decide who you are.
E: That was just Monday of this week.
B: Why thank you.
E: It is quite interesting. How long do we stay in this space?
B: I don’t know. It is unknown. The point is not to second-guess yourself. The idea is to simply allow yourself to accept whatever new definition is more in alignment with your preference. And if you find you are still choosing to create difficulty in accepting the new definition, then maybe that means you need to go back and spend some more time in the unknown, so that you can get use to the fact that the new definition can be fully accepted for its own sake. So you can do it that way if you wish. You can, in a sense, test yourself if you will, by accepting the definition, going out of the unknown, seeing if it stays incorporated within your behavior, and if it doesn’t then perhaps go back and spend some time in the unknown, until the new definition becomes the only reality you will accept.
E: I found that I am just living in this, and it doesn’t seem necessary – I mean I just surrendered it totally, and it doesn’t seem necessary so far to create any other new definitions.
B: That will be up to you. But you are really creating definitions every moment otherwise you wouldn’t be having any experiential reality at all. You understand?
E: Yes.
