Breaking News – Your Feelings Don’t Matter
As deliberate creators we think we need to feel it to get it. We place a lot of emphasis on feeling it first or getting lined up with our feelings, because we think feelings are the magic juice in creation. Science however, is beginning to paint a very different picture about the creation process.
We are all aware of the phenomenon called the observer effect. It basically shows that just by our observation we have an effect on the outcome. Generally speaking just the words observer effect are an oxymoron, because it’s impossible to observe without participating. Scientists will spend decades unraveling the meaning of the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson. However, what we know for sure is that what was theoretical physics a few months ago, is now hard science and in very simplistic terms we are focus machines. Feelings might be a byproduct of focus. They may be an indicator, however, they may not, and it doesn’t really matter. After all these years science is proving what deliberate creators have known all along. We create our reality. The curveball is, feelings are irrelevant.
Today I cleaned my whole dining room for one vase of flowers. Those flowers reminded me of flowers in English manors I’ve visited that came out of the gardens on the grounds. That oozes wealth to me. That focus gets me one step closer to wealth. Even if I’m not “feeling it” I can still navigate with my focus by looking for other things that represent wealth to me. Will that cause me to feel wealthy? Probably. However, even if I don’t, it doesn’t matter. Focus is the key.
For a lot of deliberate creators feelings can be sticky. We know how we want to feel, but we can’t always seem to wrangle those pesky emotions into behaving the way we want them too. Sometimes you feel bad and can’t shake it. Sometimes when we feel bad we worry about what we are creating.
A lot of emphasis on feelings is great when they are lining up, but when they don’t it’s frustrating. We get hyper-focused on trying to manage the feeling, and when it doesn’t work we feel like we won’t get where we want to go. However, the science says it doesn’t matter.
I in fact can be feeling a lot of worry about money, but if I’m focusing my attention on wealth, fresh flowers, fast cars, English manors, and such, my observation of wealth is what has an impact on matter around me. I can focus on how much money I have instead of how much I don’t have. I can focus on incredible love and the romance of a lifetime instead of loneliness. I can focus on health and a vibrant body instead of focusing on aches and pains or extra pounds. We know this stuff, and it might sound like I’m splitting hairs here, because chances are high if I’m really focused on these things I’ll feel better. But I don’t have to feel better for it to start navigating intentionally towards my next reality – and that’s all it is, my next reality, not a new reality or a whole different creation. We are always creating a new experience of reality. Noticing what we are noticing is how we deliberately get there.
The focus work is fun. It’s like a treasure hunt. How can I notice what I want more of next? The science community is using the word, “interact” a lot today. The concept of interaction can be quite literal. How can I interact with health, wealth, great romance? Interaction is magic.
Putting feelings before focus is like having a car without an engine. You aren’t going to go anywhere. We do not live in an emotional universe. We live in an energetic field. When you change your focus you can change anything. (tweetable!) Feelings are an optional by product.
Feelings do matter in many ways.
Science is showing that they do matter in other research. You can see this at the website showing results of research by a Harvard scientist, emotional sentience dot com
Feelings are guidance. They are sensory output just as the pain we feel when we burn our fingers is sensory output. We are designed to respond to sensory output but society has trained us not to do so.
Feelings will help us understand if the thoughts we are thinking are taking us into positive areas or negative areas. If we feel worse and worse as we focus in a specific way what we are creating is not going to please us. If our feelings feel better and better as we focus more specifically that creation will be pleasing.
No, emotions do not create but they do provide important information and ignoring them is like putting novacaine in your fingers so you don't feel yourself burning when your fingers are on the hot coal. Your fingers are still burning.
The research showing the benefits of positive emotions and optimism should also be considered. Our immune systems work better when we are positively focused. So much so that every cancer studied in relationship to positivity (so far) has shown beneficial impacts and a 50% reduction in risk of cardiovascular disease has also been shown in a meta-analysis (a study of 200 studies – considered very reliable data in scientific communities).
Feelings do matter – greatly.
I think you are splitting hairs a lot!! you can't look at anything without feeling something – oh you can chose to not feel something but if you look at riches adn wealth and all you feel is loathing and jealousy you aren't going to get riches materialise in your life…………..even focussing on an experiment you get what you expect to see but the focus of the particals or what ever is the feeling that brings it about. even the experiment for the god particle was done with great expectation and feeling by those scientist observing it and they did have to line up with it to experience it. so frankly I think you are wrong but then to you, you're right so you get what you expect and I get what I expect ………just depends what you focus on really!
You know what? I completely agree with you that feelings are very important when it comes to health. In fact, I would tend to say emotions are the most important thing when it comes to health and well being. So, in that regard you are absolutely correct. I am simply saying that managing feelings is not a necessary component in the deliberate creation process.
Well … you can’t really manage feelings. You have to manage the thoughts that create the feelings. Feelings are the indicator of the thought/vibration we have going on.
So focus is deliberate thought. Do I have to feel good about the thought? This is hair splitting … If I am focused on being a millionaire and that does not feel good to me. Am I really focused on being a millionaire … OR … is my focus on the fact that I am not a millionaire or that I don’t believe I can be a millionaire?! This is important!! We think we got our focus “focused” … but we all have these old stories, old beliefs that are running through our heads.
I think if the thought or focus does not feel good – It is an indicator that your focus is not on that thing you want – it is on how you can’t have that thing you want!
When you find an easier thought – maybe instead of being a millionaire I will focus on making a 6 figure income. If that feels better, more doable, for you … Now you know you are really focused there!
And while I am very aware of what the scientists are uncovering and I am thrilled they are acknowledging this! — We need to remember it has taken them a long time to get here! Much longer than the Masters who walked before them and us!
Thanks for your thoughts, Ellie.
It is ironic how long it’s taken science to catch up with spirituality isn’t it??
I think it’s always easier to get there when you can accept truth doesn’t require proof.
