You Are The Creator Of Your Reality

You are the creator of your reality, but do you really know what is reality, what is true and what is a lie in this world of experience?

As Immanuel Kant said: “A priori, we can only know about things what we put in them before”. With this statement, Kant takes a Copernican turn, a revolution that involves a change of perspective, where reality itself does not exist, as each subject is active and transforms reality according to his own experience.

Thanks to Kant’s revolutionary contribution, we understand that we are active subjects in our own experience. There is no single reality that influences us as contributors; therefore, we are not slaves to our circumstances.

You are the creator of your reality and your experiences

You’ve certainly had the opportunity to notice that, depending on how receptive we are, we attract situations that are more beneficial or harmful to our lives. Depending on how open we are and where we focus our attention, we are able to attract experiences that are in keeping with the energy we are putting into our environment.

This also happens internally;  we weaken and contract illnesses more easily if our thoughts lead us to believe that we are puppets of circumstances and that we can do nothing about them.

When there is a continual succession of unpleasant experiences, it does not mean that life has turned against us; it means that we are somehow boycotting our experience through the energy we mobilize with our thoughts and actions.

There are no good or bad experiences, there are only experiences to which each person, in the same circumstances, can give multiple different meanings, learn different things and move forward in a reinforced way, or anchor in what happened and self-destruct little by little.

We are not slaves to our thoughts or emotions

Contrary to what many people may believe, we can control our thoughts and we can surrender to our emotions so they don’t get stuck.

Thought is often rooted in what it is used to. Our neural networks are strengthened and automatically activated generating unpleasant thoughts in any situation if we reinforce this attitude.

The moment we are not aware of it, we end up becoming slaves to what we think, believing that there is no way out for the thoughts that cause us discomfort and lead us to perform actions that confirm the state of our attitude.

We don’t put enough energy into what we want to achieve. So, we get frustrating results and we ask ourselves: why do I never get what I want? Why does everything bad always happen to me?

We fall into this vicious circle, creating a greater helplessness  that is not due to our own circumstances but to the way we respond to the situation and surrender to it.

Being aware that we create our own reality and that we are not puppets of circumstances is the only way to shape thinking and change it at the very moment when we realize that, once again, we are boycotting each other.

Only we can change that, the way we see things and how they are presented to us. The emotional state, in turn, will also adapt according to the way we understand each of our experiences, how we live and assimilate them, incorporating them into our learning.

Because there are no good or bad emotions; they are simply necessary reactions to what we experience. They are indicators of what happens to us and meeting them helps us to understand ourselves better.

When we cling to blocking one of the emotions for not wanting to feel it, for considering it inadequate or negative, we are giving it more strength, increasing its intensity and infecting other emotions, promoting an imbalance.

We build our reality, we shape it, we are the architects of our experience. Are you willing to take on this responsibility?
