“What is the matter?” Great question, I am here to explain matter in a way that is transformational. “Mind over Matter”, “Does it Matter?”, “Matter of Fact”, all coined phrases for further reflection. Matter is defined as; noun 1) physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit (physics) that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy; noun 2) an affair under consideration (a topic); verb 1) to be of importance, have significance. Matter does matter and understanding and applying this in life, the best things can be made matter, and lesser things can dissolve from matter.
I have learned that my thoughts matter, literally. Thoughts create an energy and energy creates perception which in turn creates reality. I think, therefore I am, rings truer than most comprehend. The very realization that I give matter to what I mentally give importance to has transformed my life. I have caught myself mentally looping, or over analyzing which is perhaps the most destructive manifestation of all. I decided to jump off the mental hamster wheel. This allowed me to go from a recycling of my thoughts to a stream of thoughts than to a thought form. By this point I saw just how powerful thought process is and that my thought created form. Now this was about to get even more interesting because I saw how my thoughts kept me either in the past in a self-perpetuating story, or fast forwarded to my future, both toxic.
The ego kept me a prisoner to my thoughts that centered around a story based on past events. The story fed on my fears by reminding me of the pain, so I would stay within the story that I had accepted as safe. However, this kept me lopping in my past pain, and suffering. I realized it is possible to go into the fear and pain to end the suffering. Simply accepting the hurt because it was a part of me that I had lived with for so long. I forgave all parties involved, loved and embraced my truth, and set myself free from the storyline. I began to integrate into a new and improved self, growing conscious of the triggers into my story. Eventually, I no longer chose the story, and was no longer bound to my past. My past no longer mattered, which brought me into my future.
My future focus made matters worse still. I was so obsessed with my outcomes that I was not actively living. This is the equivalent of an action based hamster wheel. Sure, I had an end goal in mind, but was unwavering on the ending results which do not take into account the dynamics and flow of life as an ever-changing force. I was expending all this energy, but going absolutely nowhere. After exhausting myself, I became conscious that I was trying to make matter out of nothing. A new awareness that I had to no longer be chained to my thoughts, or actions of the past, or my future, but only within the moment.
The epiphany that I matter, and manifest, but only am, set me on an uncharted course. I faithfully stepped out of my comfort zone of where I was going, and flowed with the current of life. This requires no expense of energy, only trust, blind trust. Fear is no longer present here because I no longer need to react. Reaction is a choice, whereas, interaction integrates conscious thought into heartfelt action, which matters the most.
