The issues of life:
“All that you behold, though it appears without it is within, in your imagination, of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.” - William Blake
and…
“Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23 KJV)
Our innermost being, our heart, our imagination, our essence, is the true source of everything in our reality.
As within, so without. We are the animating force of our world. It all flows from the inside out. For instance, if you believe that you live in a world where everyone has gone mad, people are always rude and upset, if this is your core belief about humanity, then your experience in life will be just that.
We are the source, and though we exist in this giant shared space, your imagination can be utilized to create your personal reality within this space. Think of a snow globe. A snow globe may be sitting on a shelf in a store with many other different snow globes, but inside each snow globe is a unique scene, an individualized atmosphere.
You have everything you need to create your reality. You are the interior designer. Change, new design happens from the inside out.
The mirror of life simply reflects back to us who we are being. Trying to make changes to our appearance by changing the mirror will not produce great results. We must change ourselves, and then the image in the mirror reflects the change.
Have you ever rearranged the furniture in your living room? You probably did this because you were ready for a change. It changes the whole look of the room, the living room now feels fresh, different, more open, a better flow to the space.
All the issues of our life, everything, flows outward from the source inside us.
As Neville Goddard once said “The entire universe is simply yourself pushed out.”
Use your wonderful human imagination to create a reality where everything always works out for you, where people bend over backwards to help you and treat you friendly, where you get great service everywhere you go, where you don’t sweat the small things, where nothing steals your joy, where “Goodness and mercy follow you all the days of your life” (Psalms 23:6).
It’s all you.
In love and light,
-J
