Doing and thoughts
From Frank: This was originally posted as a Facebook note on May 12, 2009
You are that which you are. You have created this magnificent being in this magnificent moment. And you are not liking what you have created. That is all.
You want to go free. You want to bask in joy. Yet you do not allow it. You focus on what you do not want by looking at what is and deciding it does not pass muster and that it is not up to snuff.
When you do this, you progressively feel worse and worse. You head into an ever-contracting spiral and you separate yourself from your Higher Self. For, in that moment, you cannot see what your Higher Self sees. Your Higher Self, being that part of you that is Source, sees you with deep appreciation. Your Higher Self looks around your field of energy and your field of perception and says, “Yes, it is all good. Yes, it is all perfect. And what else do you want to create from where you are right now? Do you want more joy? Do you want more freedom? Do you want to be in alignment with where you are? Then choose what you have. Free yourself from the bondage you have set up for yourself.”
To you, our most beloved friend, we say: what you DO matters not. What you THINK is everything. And we are mildly amused to watch you as you examine your DOING and find fault with it.
We know that you think you will be tested again and again about your DOING, about all of your OUTPUT. You have been sold a bill of goods. No one is testing you. No one is measuring your output. No one is doing this unless you beckon them forth and say, “Please. Please look at my things that I have created. Please look at these things and judge me worthy.” And yet you are quite terrified that you will be found unworthy of your OUTPUT. Again, nothing could be further from the truth except in the twisted fantasies of your own mind.
What you THINK trumps everything! If you THINK you will be judged, you will be. If you THINK you will be in alignment with all that you have created, you will be. Your thoughts create your reality. Your doing is always, always a result of your thoughts. But, again, your doing is the least productive aspect of your creation.
Now, if you yourself judge yourself by your DOING and your OUTPUT, then you will find yourself trapped again and again by these things. If you beckon forth approval and acknowledgment from others based on your DOING, you will live or die by this sword. You seek approval from others through your DOING when in fact your THOUGHTS change your reality more quickly and more precisely and more beautifully than all of your DOING could ever hope to do.
It is quite simple. You think a THOUGHT. Your Higher Self replies and tells you if you are on track. Now, you may ask us – why does this happen? It is simple. You entered into this three-dimensional reality and put yourself into the stream of time. And, knowing that you would want guidance, you agreed beforehand to have this aspect of self, a Higher Self, that you would leave outside of the physical. This Higher Self knows who you are. This Higher Self is one with that which you call Source. This Higher Self sees the totality of your experience, both physical and non-physical. This Higher Self looks upon your life and sees only perfection. This Higher Self never leaves you, although you may forget about it for a while.
So, you have thunk your THOUGHT. And, if your thought is in alignment with who you are… If this thought is in alignment with who you are becoming… Then this THOUGHT will feel GOOD to you. How that happens is different in every situation. But, know this, you are always moving and expanding and creating. You cannot stop this. Ever. So, when you are moving and expanding as a result of the THOUGHTS that you are thinking, you are either moving in the direction of what you want and your Higher Self tells you, unambiguously, “This is good. This thought feels good.” If you are moving in another direction, you begin to contract yourself away from your Higher Self. And your Higher Self tells you, consistently and unambiguously, “This is not so good. This thought does not feel good.”
Let us discuss this from a slight different viewpoint.
You are never depressed. You are never angry. That is a language construct that makes no sense to us, from our broader non-physical perspective.
You have depression feelings. You have anger feelings. Just like you have a car or a house or a friend or any other thing that you have. Saying that you are depressed or that you are angry is like saying, “I am my car. I am my friend. I am my things.” You have all of these things. But you are none of them. Who you are cannot be quantified or limited in any way, although you can pretend as if you are limited, for you are that powerful.
When you have these depression feelings, they are a steady signal from your Higher Self: “You are going in a direction that is not actually pleasing to you. Turn around, let go, reach for a better feeling thought.” From depression, that better-feeling thought might be anger. Who knows? It might be one of many things. But you are never depressed. You cannot BE depression. Ever. What you can do is to convince yourself that you are what you have, which is a depression feeling.
And, as you well know, when you are in that place, it is as if you are in a trance. So, that is why we say to you, consistently and unambiguously, “Find a way to feel better from where you are.”
And when you do this, slowly and with a bit of persistence, you will find relief in short order. While it will take some time, it will not take nearly as long as you think it might.
And when you do this, when you find this relief. Well, then. You are on your way to where you want to be. You are one step closer to having the direct experience of the freedom and the joy and the love that have been the objects of your desire for so very long.
Holy Cow this is so good. Thank you… again. So simple, so elegant, and so home plate perfection. Earlier today I found a couple of sentences you gave me that feel so good : “No hurry, no impatience. I CAN have what I want without any pressure or effort”
I love that you are aiming me always toward the ease. And I love that I get to know this. Yipee. Frankly Frank, I love your output.
Wow – this is so good. Thank you! I really appreciate the website and all of your work.
