Reaction vs. Creation
We know and have practiced being the observer. Each time we do this we create the space in which to respond and not react. Reaction is the language and action of the Ego. Reaction is the manufacturer of all that we do not desire. Every time we react in a moment we allow whatever is the pattern, to become more ingrained in ourselves. A reaction of anger gives us more to be angry about. A reaction of lack has more lack show up. A reaction of doubt has us feeling uninspired. Inspiration can show up in the moment we observe. When we create space or a pause as observation we disconnect thoughts and patterns that exist in ourselves. In other words observation is an order to stop what is happening and start creating from what we desire. To respond is creation. You now have a choice in each moment. This choice is reaction or creation.
As we become mindful and choose to be the observer whenever we are experiencing something negative, it weakens the strength and power of an old thought that has brought us this experience. Without connecting it to the automatic reaction it has nothing to exist upon. Without a reaction we begin to stop all attraction to similar situations or circumstances. As we observe we powerfully stop the perpetuation of the thoughts or patterns that have defined us as our experiences. This alone is change and a new creation for our self.
As powerful growth seeking beings I have added to observation yet another tool. Remember our core values again. For example think of grace, love, freedom, service, or empowerment. What if they were pulled out of our awareness and accessed in the moment of observation? What would that moment then bring? Our core values are now the tools we sculpt each moment with. We co create with the universe what we chose in the moment of the observation. We now create and control the observation. We create with our core values everything we want to experience. We control every experience because we know we are responsible. Notice our language invites our true self forward as we hear the word responsible. As far as I know there is no word in our language coming even close to “reactable”. Ask yourself in the observation what would grace do or say? What would empowerments do or say? Insert your core values into these questions each time you observe and watch everything you create from the observation. We now have an even more powerful choice to make. We can be the observer or activate our core values into our experience each time we choose to be the observer. This is a huge distinction. Now let's play with it.
