Think about all the things, people, and situations that you've created in your life. Some you can validate that you created - you graduated from high school, you got into college, you chose that (even if it wasn't the college of your choice, you made it happen). If you got married, you chose that (even if you chose to get divorced later - and you chose that, too).
It's harder to validate that you chose being born, and you chose the family that you were born into.
Maybe you read Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain, or listen to Abraham-Hick's Law of Attraction, Art of Allowing. You put something on a vision board, or you imagined it in a pink bubble. When it happened, you were pleased but maybe discounted the achievement as 'magic'.
It's more difficult to acknowledge that you created things that seem to happen spontaneously, or by accident.
Making things happen in the 'real' world takes hard work and effort. You set goals and take steps to achieve them. And if stuff happens to thwart your accomplishments... oh, well.
It's not helpful to say 'you create your reality', because when crappy stuff happens, you feel it's your fault. It's not accurate to say You are an infinitely capable being, because when good stuff doesn't happen, you feel like something is wrong with you.
The thing is - you are *both*. At your core, you are an Infinite Being, and that's the aspect of you that created the reality you're in. Your body is your vehicle, your personality is the combination of pictures and experiences that you've created since before you were born.
You, the Infinite Being, creates your reality. Your personality wishes it were creating your reality.
How can you tell the different? You, the Infinite Being, is amused and light hearted. It's here for the fun of it. There is no time or space, so it's infinitely patient with it's creations. This lifetime is happening in the blink of an eye, and it's simultaneously experiencing all lifetimees as well.
You, your personality, is serious. It's main focus is survival. It's not going to make it out of this lifetime alive. It exists in present time, the past is just a memory and the future is not real. It wants things NOW.
When you use energy techniques to manifest as an Infinite Being, it's done playfully. If it doesn't happen, no big deal.
When you use energy techniques as your personality, you are trying to make things happen. If it doesn't happen, there must be some outside interference.
Trying to make things happen by trying to maneuver your outer circumstances won't work. It's as effective as an actor pushing sets around on a stage.
Changing your energy from within, changes your external circumstances.
Look at the things you'd like to have in your life. How will you feel when you have them? It's the feeling that you are going for. You think you want the winning lotto ticket, but really you want to feel free. It's the energy of freedom you desire. And, as Essence, you *are* free.
You think you want the perfect relationship, but really you want to love and be loved. It's the energy of Love you want. And, ironically, Love is already surrounding you and radiating to you (and from you), if you only take the time to notice.
Bringing something into form, manifesting in the real world, takes focus. But not effort. You are a thought, wrapped in love, and focused into density. You are loved, and you are loveable.
Make a list of the main things that you want in the key areas of your life. What's the main feeling you want to have?
Give yourself the gift of those feelings. Imagine that *you* are in a pink balloon of freedom, or love, or whatever core energy that you want to have.
