Metaphoric Awareness – Part One

We teach a unique concept we have entitled Metaphoric Awareness. This concept teaches people’how to use their perceived world as a means to awaken the highest within them and assists them in making their dreams become a reality.’

When you begin to realize that you are the architect of your own reality, there comes a moment when that understanding expands to encompass your entire reality. This means the idea of luck, coincidence, accidents, etc., disappears from your thinking and you see everything that shows up in your life as part of your own design.This can be a little scary at first as we become conscious that our thoughts and the feelings that empower them do in fact become part of our reality. We soon realize that we must ‘watch what we are thinking and the feelings that are most prevalent within us.’ As we learn to do this we correct and eliminate the blocks to a richer, fuller life.

Metaphoric Awareness was designed to help us easily watch what we are creating. When we do this we are able to re-construct our thinking so that we ‘consciously see our thoughts’ extended out into our world in ways that are more congruent with positive intentions.

This way of living helps us become conscious creators who are living in the moment, or as many people call it ‘the now.’ Becoming conscious of the thoughts we have helps us to recognize the blocks that have been keeping us from experiencing the kind of life we really want.

Here is an example of Metaphoric Awareness:

When we are confronted by someone who is argumentative or even downright negative and critical, the normal reaction of most people is to look at that person as someone ‘outside’ themselves. Metaphoric Awareness looks at the person in a different way.

These people are really actors that have shown up to read the script we have written within our creative play, the play of our life. They show us blocks within ourselves that are keeping us from living a life of joy and fulfillment.

We may have handled people such as these in the past with disdain, criticism, judgment or perhaps with diplomacy, kindness and understanding. Nevertheless, we have still seen them as ‘outside’ our self. With Metaphoric Awareness we regard each person, place, thing or circumstance as a teacher, showing us negative or positive thoughts that exist within our own mind.

Even if the type of conduct we indicated in this example is foreign to our character we understand that somewhere hidden within, that frequency or vibration exists and is influencing the way our world is appearing to us.

You could say that these ‘actors’ are a blessing when they show up because long hidden aspects of our subconscious mind are surfacing and helping us to see what we need to do to re-write the script of our life. In this way we stop sabotaging our success and the joy that we so long to experience.
