You Project Your Movie Around You

[ ... ] So, when someone offers you greater Awareness of what is happening in your inner world, they are giving you something you can take with you.

Imagine you have a television in your living room, but nobody gave you the remote control. You are going to spend your life watching films that you probably neither want nor like, right?

To control the films you see playing out in your life, the remote control is inside you. And it goes wherever you go.

In other words, you don't like your life and decide to move to another city? After a while, you will be manifesting the same “films”, unless you decide to use the remote control in your inner world to change the films you are attracting.

Don't like the film playing around you? The first step is simply to become Aware of it so that you can change your frequency.

But let's go back for a moment.

Even a simple process can involve different ranges of frequencies. For example, when you order a new custom-made table from a carpenter, they ask you how long you want it to be.

First, you use lower frequencies to physically hear the question, then you use higher frequencies to understand the question in your thoughts, then you raise those frequencies again to imagine the table inside the room, then lower them to ordinary thought to translate that image into words and, finally, lower them again to express those words audibly.

Everything has a frequency. As the 3rd Principle of the Kybalion says: “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”

In the same way that lower frequencies can express sound, the higher frequencies of your thoughts and feelings can express a different kind of music. For example, when someone tells you, “I love you”, you may smile and reply, “that's music to my ears”.

Life is a constant combination of changing frequencies, like a flow of musical chords. And, just as in music, some combinations make you feel good and others don't.

Beauty is what you perceive with your eyes when something outside you stimulates the Awareness of a harmonious vibration within you. When you see a beautiful landscape, you become Aware of harmonious frequencies that stimulate similar frequencies within you, making you feel peace and harmony.

In other words, you can perceive something through your physical senses and be aware of something additional at the same time.

This is also why you can go somewhere and experience a beautiful, magical moment, but when you return the following day, the feeling is more ordinary. The place is the same, but your frequency has changed and the same resonance is no longer there.

In other words, most of the special moments you experience have more to do with the higher frequencies within you than with the lower vibrations around you. Special moments are a consequence of the resonance between the inner and outer worlds.

This is why many masters advise us not to depend on external circumstances. Your life is the film that your inner world is projecting.

Now you can also understand how abdominal breathing can improve your frequencies (we describe this technique later, in the chapter on the practices we recommend).

When you find yourself in an unpleasant situation, before dealing with what is happening around you, correct what is happening within you. Breathe deeply into your abdomen and raise your frequency. By speaking from higher, more harmonious frequencies, you replace the “music” of that situation with your own.

Higher frequencies support more options, greater clarity and better solutions. Breathing correctly into your abdomen is just one way of opening those doors.

Unfortunately, because most people are accustomed to functioning only through perception, they end up offering lower frequencies in response to situations, causing those situations to become worse.
