The Intentional Design of Contrast

As you diminish contrast, you diminish your ability to decide, and as you diminish your ability to decide, you diminish your ability to focus, and as you diminish your ability to focus, you do away with your reason for existing. (Abraham-Hicks, Orlando, FL 2/15/1997)

The above quote from Abraham through Esther Hicks is a reminder to us today to embrace contrast. We chose to come into a dualistic environment and the contrast that environment provides is one of the ways we find choice, opportunity, experience, and expansion. This, however, is at odds with what happens as we grow up and learn to be human.

Indeed, we have all (to some extent) been taught to control our environments - to control contrast - so that things can be predictable. This is a function of survival consciousness. Fortunately, many of us are able to see this with greater clarity than ever before and in so doing are able to step out of this fear-based mindset and the cycles it creates.

In addition, we are being invited into the unknown. Each time we encounter the unknown, we are invited out of control and into choice. As our perceptions broaden and we begin to live more multidimensionally, we realize that there is even more unknown than we might have suspected. Yet, this does not engender fear, instead it begets possibility and a new state of being.

And, in the depths of the human heart, possibility rings a bell of remembrance of the powerful, infinite creator being that we each already are. It causes us to look at life differently and to want more of life.

As you go through your day today, this weekend, and the coming weeks, what do you notice about contrast?

What is your relationship with contrast?

How can you play with contrast?

Does contrast inspire you?

Does contrast assist you in dreaming bigger? In wanting more? In taking chances? In giving yourself permission to live?

***

You have been living small lives, Beloveds - even those of you who dream big. We encourage you to allow yourselves to begin to dream bigger, to take more chances, to allow yourselves to test out your wings. Try, investigate, explore. As you remember more of your natural state - multidimensionality - you are going to see life in new ways. You are realizing that there is so much more to you, to this world, to life than you have ever allowed yourselves to conceive.

You are, indeed, only limited by your imagination and the restraints you put upon yourselves.

There is no power or technology in this world that is more powerful than you, Dearest Human.

For some of you, this will rankle the ego mind as your life has not seemingly changed or produced the result you desire, despite all you’ve been doing. YET. ;)

Keep going. More is happening than you are aware of. Look at your life and see the changes that have already arrived - you are not the same person. Things you thought were not possible are already here. Experiences and certain ways of living that you thought you would not survive, you have - and - in fact, you are thriving.

This reframing will assist you and is a significant part of your greater remembrance. You are further along than you realize.

Give yourselves permission to live.

Give yourselves permission to BE.

Give yourselves permission to embrace contrast - not as a limitation of one or the other, but rather as a way of seeing multitudes - the vastness of multidimensional possibilities.

And remember well, Beloveds, if you can dream it - allow it - receive it - it will come in its perfect timing.

And so it is and shall be, in love!
