Anyone of Us Can Get Caught in a Collective Consciousness Belief…
Most of us go throughout our day, allowing our unconscious mind to run our life? We allow old beliefs and saying to flow out of our mouths just as naturally as we take a breath. We take actions throughout the day, without consciously thinking about why we do something the way we have always done it.
We also take on beliefs based on Folklore, such as Friday the 13th being bad luck or a Black Cat walking across our path causing bad luck.
Today, I thought I would share a story with you, that clearly shows you how group or collective consciousness can impact our lives and how easily we can keep that from happening, by living life more consciously.
Since I was a child, I decided that Friday the 13th would always be my lucky day. So every time that Friday the 13th would come around, I would always tell friends, family and coworkers that today was going to be my lucky day. And, for all of my years that has been the case. I never once had an unlucky Friday the 13th.
And then…
During a recent Friday the 13th, I didn’t notice that it was Friday the 13th and got busy with my day. The local handyman came by to do some work around my house and got started at 8am. For some strange reason, I had missed picking up some of the materials we needed and so, I grabbed my car keys to run to the local home and hardware supply store. In the middle of my preparations, I stopped to put some cardboard down in the back part of my car to protect the carpet, and in the process, set my car keys down. Then slammed the hatchback door shut.
As I got into the front seat of the car, I realized I didn’t have my keys. I looked all around and notice that I had definitely locked the house door, I didn’t have my purse, nor my cell phone and the keys were no where to be found. Since my car is a hatchback, I folded the seat down and crawled into the back of the car, to find the keys. They were no where to be found.
I then borrowed a neighbors phone to call a friend to ask them to call another friend (I couldn’t remember his number) to ask them to bring my spare key, that he had. My friend didn’t answer and had no way to call me back to let me know he didn’t have the other person’s number either.
I then called a locksmith, but they weren’t going to be able to come out for several hours, so I decided to break a window, crawl into the house and find my spare keys, get my purse and my cell phone. When I finally got the keys, I found that I had I slammed the original set of keys in the channel of the hatchback. The good news is that I didn’t damage the car, the keys or the remote.
I was all set to head to the store, and decided to open my passenger door to let the handyman into the car and the entire door handle broke off in my hand.
I now had a broken window and a broken car door handle, I had paid my handyman for more than 2 hours of searching for my keys instead of actually doing the planned work, and hadn’t gotten anything else done that was planned for the day. Now, through all of this I was laughing as I always do, when things aren’t going smoothly. I also look for the good. So, besides the keys and car not being damaged, I discovered that the bathroom window that we broke to get it, was plastic instead of glass. (I just moved into the house a few months ago, and hadn’t noticed that, which might speak to why that room was always so much colder or hotter than any other part of the house.
After the day was over and I hadn’t been able to get a piece of glass to repair my window and the temperatures were going into the 40’s that night, I sat down at my computer and saw that the date was Friday the 13th. For the first time in my life, I had not affirmed that it was going to be my lucky day.
My point in sharing this story is to help you realize how easily we can slip into the beliefs of the collective consciousness and how easily with a bit of conscious living our lives can be quite different. So, in this case… Note to self, check the day and date of the next day before going to bed.
Tips to Avoid Group Think…
- Notice anything you repeatedly say and ask yourself, “Is that True?” Where did I learn this from? If you decide it is not a belief you want to continue, do affirmations to change the belief or better yet, use the belief replacement process that I include in my Balanced Energy eBook. In the book you will learn how to change a belief in one session and how to be sure you are wording your new beliefs as powerfully as possible.
- Don’t watch the news if you get emotionally charged by it. The minute you become emotionally charged you are helping to amplify the energy of whatever the news media wants you to believe. Remember, most news media has very little to do with facts and more to do with the spin that the reporter or news channel thinks will get the most attention.
- Question Everything and Ask Your Inner Guidance for Answers.
- Instead of Allowing Yourself to get caught up in the negative news. Stop, open your heart and send everyone love and peace, this includes the news media people, the police or emergency services people, doctors, etc. Basically everyone that has any involvement in the situation. Remember there are no victims, only participants. Even though there is typically a perpetrator and a victim, remember that the person who we have labeled as a perpetrator has gone through something(s) in their life that have made them into who and what they have become. Send them love and healing energy that they may find peace and love in their hearts.
- If you don’t agree with the policies or actions of a political figure or a political party, send them love and ask for guidance on what you can do to make things better. Being angry and upset only feeds their energy and depletes yours.
- Look for positive news and share it, including this article as well as this list of 99 Good News Stories You may not have heard about in 2019.
- Meditate daily and send love to everyone you know, whether your experience with them is negative or positive.
- Join a meditation group and amplify positive loving energy exponentially using the group power. This can be done in person or online.
