TAKE BACK YOUR POWER - WE WERE NOT CREATED TO BE DEPRESSED

TAKE BACK YOUR POWER

WE WERE NOT CREATED TO BE DEPRESSED

A MESSAGE TO EVERYONE FOR 2016

Stes de Necker

We are living in the era of enlightenment; we are beginning to wake up and take responsibility for our lives by being informed and educated. It’s an exciting time to be alive, but none of this is new information.

Most of what we know today, about creating our reality, was actually coming to light in the mid 1900’s with the arrival of personal computers and the advent of the Internet.

The era of information explosion. 

This was a very exciting time. Personal computers created a vast new world of possibilities. People started to realize that life responds to their thoughts and emotions, and if they change their thinking, life will follow. It was a brilliant time to be alive.

But the euphoria was short lived.

For those “who run the world”, it was not in the best interest of the elite to allow the masses to wake up and get empowered. They had to control the economic system in such a way that this wealth of information was re-calculated to re-distribute more wealth and power to the wealthy and powerful.

In a world of hierarchy, those on top need those on the bottom to stay on the bottom. If the masses were to wake up to their powers as creators and reclaim their abundance through the practical application of this wealth of information and understanding, then the hierarchy would fall and those on top would have to relinquish their positions.

The elite have a big investment in keeping the masses asleep. So when people began to wake up in the mid 1900’s, the elite needed a solution that would alter the minds of the people. It had to be something that would undermine the security of the working class and bring them to their knees. It had to be something that would repress the knowledge and wipe out the idea of personal power. It had to be something that would keep the masses asleep indefinitely. It had to be big enough to create an international ‘depression’ in the minds and lives of all people.

The international economic collapse and setting Muslim against Christian, East against West, truth against deception, was precisely designed to invoke immense fear, worry and stress in order to create an intentional epidemic of mental depression that would suppress the potential empowerment of the masses.

Let’s face it, you cannot think about being a creator of your life when your survival is at risk.

The current international turmoil has stolen people’s lives; their jobs, their homes, their identities, and their resources – it left families begging for food and living in refugee camps and boxes on the streets.

When your survival is at risk, you can only focus on survival. If you are starving, the only thing you are thinking about is food. If you are freezing, the only thing that you are thinking about is warmth. If you are homeless, the only thing that you are thinking about is shelter.

Your basic needs must be met before you can think about more sophisticated ideas, such as self empowerment and creating your own reality. Have you ever tried to speak with homeless people about the law of attraction? They cannot hear you, because they are focused on basic needs. We only start thinking about growth and personal development when we have at least a certain level of safety and security.

The current economic depression and the rise of international conflict have knocked-out the sense of safety and security from everyone. Even those who were not starving and homeless are now suffering emotionally in the same way, because if it could happen to others, it could happen to them.

You didn’t have to be starving and homeless to have the same fears as someone in those circumstances. In fact, if you still have something to lose, you might even have more fear.

It has left many in a perpetual state of fear and worry. Fear and worry are proactive responses so that you are not caught off guard, if something devastating were to happen. This is a form of post traumatic stress disorder. When someone comes back from war, for example, they might dive under the table if a car back fires.

The trauma of what is happening is stored in our subconscious mind so that we are constantly on guard in order to protect ourselves from danger. Current world events are doing just that. The scars of these events run so deep that most people will live with this post traumatic stress disorder for the rest of their lives.

If you grew up in a home with parents who lived through the great depression of 1933 and World War II, they likely exhibited fear-based beliefs and behaviours of scarcity and suffering. Since we imitate our parents, we pick up those very same beliefs and behaviours through nurture, and unknowingly pass them down to our children, as well.

But, it goes even deeper than that. The worry, fear and negative energy of these incidents got embedded in our parent‘s or grand-parent’s DNA, like a virus infected program gets embedded in a computer. That fear-based program then got passed down to you and me, and may still be active in our DNA.

It is no secret that we live in a society of depressed people. Many people are depressed and don’t even know it because it seems like the norm. We have been blaming depression on so many things but what if we are depressed because we are programmed to be depressed?

Negative conditions like war and economic depression create negative responses which get embedded in our subconscious minds through the repetition of fear-based beliefs that are continuously reinforced by physical reality.

Current world events are creating continuous fear within all of us and it is this fear that that results in fear-based beliefs about our lives. And when these fears are supported by actual events for an extended period of time without knowing when, or if, it would end, our minds just gets more and more negative and depressed. 

When beliefs and reality continuously loop to reflect each other, an automatic situation of depression and anxiety results.

This condition manifests in low self worth, lack of self esteem, not trusting oneself or others, underlying anxiety, bouts of fear for no reason, panic attacks, phobias, constantly being on guard, looking for problems before they even begin!

The inability to let go, dependence on others for security, fear of not enough, hoarding, blindly following others and not thinking for oneself.

When we are in a condition of depression and anxiety, we are for all intense and purpose, unconscious. It is not possible to consciously create from an unconscious state, therefore, we accept and react to everything that comes our way, further perpetuating the state of depression and anxiety.

When you are not conscious, you have no control over your most valuable resource – your mind, and therefore no power to change your reality. You cannot be depressed and empowered at the same time

.

Many spiritual teachers and psychologists are currently coming forward, trying to tell us how to create (re-create) our reality, but if you are chronically depressed, you can only create from a very low cognitive level, which may actually work against us in creating more of what we do not want and keeping us entrapped in a dense fear-based reality where we are imprisoned by our own minds.

So, even though empowered information is once again coming to the forefront, most of us are too depressed to be able to use it positively and effectively.

Many of us are simply too afraid to feel good, which only adds to our state of depression. Many people fear that when good things happen, something bad will result.

Before the great depression and World War II, people were generally happy and felt like they could live abundant lives. But then came the Great Depression and WW II and BAM! – all that joy and happiness was wiped out.

When something like that happens, the mind tries to find meaning and patterns to the experience, so it can protect itself in the future. In this case, the mind reasoned that it was dangerous to feel good and as a protection the belief ‘If I feel too good, something bad will happen‘ was embedded in our subconscious minds.   

So every time we start to feel really good, our subconscious minds warn us that something bad is lurking so we better not feel that good. This means that every time we feel good, we will have fear that something bad will happen. We then back off from whatever is making us feel good;  if I am successful, something bad will happen, so I better not be successful. Once again keeping us depressed and dis-empowered.

Only when we understand where our power went, can we understand how best to take it back.

The power is in our hands!

George Bernard Shaw once said: “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.”

When we continue to blame our circumstances, we are actually giving our power away.

We are telling ourselves that we have no control over our behaviours, our decisions, our lives, and our feelings. That is just not true!

When we blame others for what we’re going through, we avoid responsibility and perpetuate the problem.

Practice owning your thoughts, actions, decisions, and feelings. Practice being honest with yourself. 

The key word here is practice.

You have the option to let circumstances define you, or you can accept what happened, feel all of your feelings, take responsibility for yourself, pick up the pieces, and move forward.

If you let your life fall apart because of something someone else did, you are choosing to do that.

It’s up to us to take situations like this and learn from them, letting ourselves grow and change.

The only way we can truly be happy is to realize that our thoughts, emotions, actions, and decisions are our responsibility and no one else’s.

That is a beautiful thing. No more excuses. No more blame.

Just the choice to take our power back and start living and loving our lives!

It’s all about perspective – once your expectations change, your attitude will change as well.

CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THINGS AND THE THINGS YOU LOOK AT, CHANGE....
