Sometimes our feelings such as loneliness, sadness, anger, frustration or hopelessness can be overwhelming. We may feel totally disconnected from the world, like we are separate.
This can sound like:
- She doesn’t understand me.
- He is trying to control me.
- I feel empty inside.
- I feel disconnected from the people in my life.
- No ones loves me.
- I don’t have a voice.
- I’m always doing something wrong.
- Something is wrong with me.
These are some of the thoughts/old beliefs that have been expressed by a few of my clients that are feeling like their emotions come from outside of themselves.
Almost all the world’s problems can be seen as a matter of levels of consciousness.
Lower Consciousness/Inner Child: my Feelings come from what’s happening out there. If I can change the situation or the person out there, I will feel better in here. I need to be ever-vigilant of what’s happening out there. Out there and in here are separate realities.
Higher Consciousness: my feelings come from what’s happening in here. I can’t change anything or anyone out there. I need to be hyper-vigilant of what’s happening in here. Out there is a reflection of in here, not separate, only a mirror.
If we believe that we have to change what’s happening out there to feel better in here, we are living in our lower consciousness or inner child. When we have an understanding that every thing, every situation happens for our higher learning it becomes an opportunity to shift an old belief. Then we look at what is happening inside ourself and make the changes necessary to live in our higher self. The higher self is connected to Source/God/Universe. When we live in this place, we feel connected to Source, others and ourself.
Isn’t this what we want?
I want to feel connected. So, the only way toward this is through looking inside myself, not at what others are doing.
