  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So it's been said that our life is an illusion.
• 0:34
  The reality we live in is an illusion.
• 0:36
  Many spiritual masters have taught this over time and one
• 0:41
  could argue, well, how is it that it's an illusion if I'm
• 0:44
  living in it? And often times this becomes
• 0:46
  tricky and it's a very hard concept for people to
• 0:48
  understand. So.
• 0:51
  I thought we would talk about this today because this was
• 0:53
  based on a recent conversation that I had with a client and how
• 0:58
  I had mentioned to her, well, you know, what if?
• 1:01
  What if the life that you're living that you're so angry
• 1:03
  about is just something you keep creating over and over and over
• 1:07
  again? And her response was, well, why
• 1:09
  would I do that? Why would?
• 1:11
  I keep creating something I don't like.
• 1:13
  I I can't stand it so much. And she went on this whole rant
• 1:17
  about how much she did not like the relationship that she was
• 1:20
  currently in with her husband and just absolutely frazzled by
• 1:27
  some of the things that go on now when you talk to him about
• 1:32
  it, which I have the privilege of talking to them both, it is
• 1:34
  not that way. He is a happy go.
• 1:38
  Lucky guy he is. What some women may refer to as
• 1:42
  checked out in some areas and in other areas, he's fantastic.
• 1:47
  And one could argue that, you know, for what drives her crazy,
• 1:51
  maybe somebody else's absolute top of what they're looking for.
• 1:57
  So when we start to recognize that we do this to ourselves and
• 2:00
  that we have these illusions that we live with all the time
• 2:06
  and that we have these. Challenges that we create
• 2:09
  certain things and then we live with those things.
• 2:12
  Those those become our reality. They they instantaneously become
• 2:16
  our reality. We could.
• 2:19
  Theoretically change them, right?
• 2:21
  Of course we could absolutely change whatever we want because
• 2:24
  when we start to focus on something different we can shift
• 2:27
  it. But it is the hardest part of
• 2:29
  self development in my. Opinion is to change your
• 2:32
  beliefs about something or change your focus on something
• 2:36
  when you are presented with the reality you currently have now,
• 2:39
  Doctor Wayne Dyer said many years ago in a book.
• 2:42
  When I read it for the first time, you know that your life is
• 2:46
  a result of the focus that you have given it.
• 2:50
  And that's a hard pill to swallow, my friends.
• 2:53
  The first time I read that, I had to keep rereading it because
• 2:55
  I couldn't imagine. It's like I didn't create this,
• 2:58
  I didn't create this. I kept.
• 2:59
  I. I was living in denial that I
• 3:01
  had created it. But.
• 3:05
  The hard pill to swallow was that I had, I had created this
• 3:09
  life, I had created it, and it was all because of.
• 3:12
  What I was thinking and focusing.
• 3:14
  On and reacting to. Our reactions bring.
• 3:17
  Things. To us.
• 3:18
  Because we're. Energetically charged to it, and
• 3:21
  things just keep showing up. And it's.
• 3:23
  So difficult. When we recognize that the
• 3:27
  illusion of what we have. That's.
• 3:29
  Why? It's called the illusion of what
• 3:30
  we have. Can be.
• 3:31
  Shifted because we can change our focus and then our view
• 3:35
  changes. And if you're constantly looking
• 3:37
  in the rear view mirror. Of what has happened in the
• 3:41
  past. Then the present and the future
• 3:45
  are going to constantly be. Skewed by it.
• 3:48
  So doing yourself the favor and. Getting rid of that rear view
• 3:52
  mirror view. Is what this is all about.
• 3:56
  It's about shifting the illusion.
• 3:57
  It's about changing it. It's about giving something
• 4:00
  different and allowing yourself. To.
• 4:02
  Have the freedom to say, yeah, I'm not focusing on that energy
• 4:05
  anymore, even if the energy sucks and this is one of the
• 4:08
  most, like I said, difficult personal development journeys.
• 4:12
  I think we can all continue to go on, myself included.
• 4:15
  I'll be the first one to say it is really hard.
• 4:18
  When I am really mad at my husband not to focus on what
• 4:22
  I've decided was the offense and stay focused on it, it is.
• 4:27
  I look at this and say this is without question that the growth
• 4:31
  spurt that I needed in my life. So I can say.
• 4:35
  Yes, I can. Do this with more succinct.
• 4:38
  Abilities. Because nine times out of 10.
• 4:41
  I I can't still, because that's called being human, my friends.
• 4:45
  That's what we're here for, is to learn those things.
• 4:48
  So when you start to recognize this illusion using that word.
• 4:54
  Is really? Kind of cool because it
• 4:56
  separates you from it. When you look at it, you go, my
• 4:59
  reality is da da. Da da da.
• 5:01
  You're really? Hunkered down in that moment and
• 5:04
  you're saying this is real reality, real.
• 5:07
  But when you use the word illusion, you have.
• 5:10
  The ability to say, OK, I can. Shift this often times I'll you
• 5:14
  know I'll I'll remind myself of this when I'm.
• 5:18
  So irritated. About something and I'll be
• 5:20
  like, OK, I'm I'm living in the reality instead of the illusion.
• 5:24
  And if I change the illusion, then hopefully I can shift my
• 5:28
  emotion and as soon as I shift my emotion.
• 5:32
  Voila, my reality changes. So it's kind of funny how that
• 5:36
  works. So work on this my friends.
• 5:39
  Give it some thought and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:41
  Have a blessed day. Bye.
