Weather Patterns

I'm reading John Edward's book, Infinite Quest, right now and even though most of what he writes about isn't new information for me, he has a way of putting things that make concepts even more clear than they had been before.

An example of this is how many people, including myself, talk about how our thoughts become things and how important it is to pay attention to our thoughts because that is how we manifest what comes into our lives.  John, however, refers to our thoughts as "bullets of energy" that we are spraying out in front of us.  Now THAT brings a whole new level of clarity to the concept.  Just the other day, I caught myself spraying some pretty negative bullets and remembering his way of explaining it, I was able to stop the thoughts more quickly than I ever had before and replace them something more pleasant.  :-)

In his book, he talks about how we create situations, opportunities and lessons that enable us to discover and evolve in our soul's progression.  I loved the way we wrote about it because the focus was not on beating ourselves up for what we have created in our lives.  Instead he suggested we focus on what we intended or hoped to learn from the things we created - a gentle way to take a step back and say, "Hmm, I wonder why I created this?"

In the book, he also talks about the importance of understanding the "weather patterns" we create in our lives and suggests that we try to describe our changing attitudes in weather terms and see what it shows us.  Are we "partly sunny" or always "stormy"?   How do our "weather patterns" change in different environments (work, home, in your car) or around different people.

All that thought about weather patterns got me thinking about radio stations (I can't explain why, it's just how my mind works)  :-)  When I was driving over the hill to the beach this week, the radio stations I normally listen to began to have a lot of static as I got farther into the mountains . . . and I began to think about how analogous that is to how I feel around people . . . with some people, I feel like my "signal" is strong and my "song" comes through clearly . . . and with some people, I can feel my signal waning and my "song" starts to sound muddled.  And I thought to myself, "Hmm, I wonder why my "signal" wanes in certain situations?"

If you take a look at your life, your current experiences, "weather patterns" and "radio static," do you know why you may have created it? Do you know what you were hoping to learn?  Taking some time to consider the answers to those questions may give you some pretty interesting insights.
