This can be challenging, though, if you have not considered the possibility before. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Often you must have a key given to you, a door pointed out, a keyhole or a doorknob brought to your attention. Then it is up to you to take action. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you don\u2019t do anything, then you sit with the keys, the information, the knowledge and the wherewith-all to change your life. But nothing will happen unless you do it. Let\u2019s look at the factor of \u201cnot doing\u201d for a moment:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">1. You may often find yourself making decisions by default. This is when you won\u2019t make a decision \u201cfor\u201d or \u201cagainst\u201d and then find a decision forced upon you from outside of yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">2. You may not be too happy about that type of decision, but if you will not take action, action will be forced upon you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">3. Too often you become hesitant about making a wrong decision \u2014 if any decision can be called \u201cwrong.\u201d In reality, there are no wrong decisions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Through all my experience of working with people in both this level and other levels of consciousness, I have found that there is no wrong decision except as people label it \u201cwrong.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After you have decided on something, you can look at that decision, that movement or direction, as a lesson, simply a lesson, a problem-solving technique. If it solves the problem, then you are content with the decision. If it does not, you make another decision. Whichever way your decision leads you, it is a positive action because it promotes direction and forward movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When you can\u2019t see your way out of a problem, when you can\u2019t see a direction, when you can\u2019t make a decision, that\u2019s when you feel \u201cboxed in\u201d or at the mercy of the circumstances. And this brings in frustration and a feeling of incapability. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A lot of people get stuck in this and label it an \u201cinferiority complex.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One man said to me, \u201dI have an inferiority complex.\u201d I said, \u201cMaybe it isn\u2019t a complex!\u201d He looked at that idea for a while and said, \u201cMaybe it\u2019s not.\u201d I said, \u201cIs it possible that in that particular area, you are inferior?\u201d He thought about that and said, \u201cYes, I believe I am.\u201d I said, \u201cThen why don\u2019t you work in an area where you are not inferior?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He worked through that for awhile and decided that he would be better suited to another area. He moved to the new area and experienced much greater success. Then he worked on the weak area in his spare time until it was stronger also. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In other words, he accurately evaluated where his strengths were, utilized his strengths to their fullest potential, and worked on the weak areas to build them into strengths that could also be used to enhance his expression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Too many times the \u201cproblem\u201d is allowing a situation to come to you on the level of your weakness and then declaring it too much for you to handle. Then it represents a problem. It\u2019s only a problem as far as you see it that way; someone else may look at it and perceive the solution immediately. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Many times what you are looking at as a problem isn\u2019t a problem at all, but an expression. When you perceive it as an expression and see that there are many alternative ways to express, you have a way to move through it and change it to another expression. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you look at life as being a ladder, you can visualize each \u201cproblem\u201d as a rung in that ladder. If you take away the problem, you may take away your potential growth. You learn from your experiences, and often you learn more from your negative experiences than your positive experiences. Those experiences that hit at you and shake you are often most effective areas of learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You all know the good times you\u2019ve had. Look at all the time you\u2019ve wasted trying to have a good time. And what did you really accomplish? Didn\u2019t the good times appear spontaneously? Didn\u2019t they just appear in the course of your living? You moved through them very fluidly and joyfully. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">How about the bad times? Can\u2019t you almost remember who said what to whom and what the whole situation was about? Can\u2019t you feel the hurt and the turmoil in your stomach? Yes, because you may be learning and remembering more through the negative process. But if you can use that negative process as a stepping-stone, then has it really been negative? You have turned it into a positive action. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You surmount negativity by standing on the things that appear to be negative and using them to lift you higher. The \u201cproblem\u201d is still there; you just shift your consciousness in relation to it and start rising above it and discovering that YOU are greater than any \u201cproblem\u201d and that YOU have the keys to solve all \u201cproblems.\u201d As soon as you realize there is an answer to every problem, it becomes easier to find the answer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sometimes the answer is to do nothing, to hold steady, to make the decision not to move. A lot of times people get caught up in the need for action. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">They say, \u201dI have to do something about this!\u201d If asked why, they might say, \u201cBecause I just have to!\u201d And that\u2019s not necessarily a good answer. You might ask, \u201cWhat if you do this?\u201d They say, \u201cThat won\u2019t work.\u201d You say, \u201cOkay, what if you do this?\u201d They say, \u201cThat won\u2019t work either.\u201d So you say, \u201cWhat if you just hold still?\u201d Maybe they\u2019re a little more receptive to that idea now. So they hold still, and that stillness allows the solution to come into their mind. They see their direction and are on their way. Then they say, \u201cThank God I didn\u2019t do anything rash. It\u2019s a good thing I didn\u2019t make up my mind impetuously.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sometimes \u201cdecision by default\u201d can be a good approach, and most of the time, because you are a directive force and energy in motion, it\u2019s best to have conscious, directed movement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is your building action, It is your growth. As soon as you have declared an intent one way or the other, you put your energy into that decision. Then if it does not feel clear, you can reverse your decision and direct the energy another way. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you don\u2019t direct yourself, if you spend your time on a \u201ctightrope,\u201d you usually end up frustrated. It\u2019s often necessary to make a movement. In such a situation, any decision you make, any direction you move, can be for your highest good, no matter what it is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The important thing is that you can move forward, move up, and in that process of moving, you develop many self-correcting devices. You can constantly evaluate and change your direction, your movement, your decisions. One decision does not lock you in. And as you keep moving, nothing can stop you from moving your consciousness into higher and higher levels of awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Learn more about us! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/journey-of-a-soul\">Click here<\/a> to download our free e-book, Journey of a Soul.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From: The Way Out Book, p.42 It is possible for you to lift out of your present level of consciousness into other, higher levels of consciousness.
