“When the emotions of survival have a hold on us, we need the conditions in our external world (our problems with different people, financial hardships, fear of terrorism, disdain for our job) to reaffirm our addiction to those emotions. These emotional addictions cause us to become preoccupied by whatever we think might be causing the upset in our environment — whether it be ‘some one’ or ‘some thing’ — and as a result the survival gene switches on. Now we’re living in a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Where you place your attention is where you place your energy. The stronger the emotional reaction associated with the cause, the more you will consistently place all your attention on a person, thing, or problem in your external world. When you do this, you are giving quite a bit of your power away to someone or something. Now all your attention and energy is anchored in this three-dimensional realm of the material and your emotional state is causing you to continuously reaffirm your present reality.
You can become emotionally attached to the reality that you really want to change. This mismanagement of your energy keeps you enslaved to the world of the knowns, trying to predict the future based on the past; what’s more, when you’re in the survival state, the unknown or the unpredictable is a scary place. So for you to truly make changes in your life, you would have to step into the unknown — and if you don’t, nothing ever really changes.”
