This video will show you 3 ways to take back your power to create your own reality. I'm going to share with you ways of looking at life in a completely new way and understanding the steps that you can take so that you consciously create the reality you want. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now on this video, I'm going to be sharing with you 3 ways to take back your power and understanding that in the larger scheme of things, you do create your own reality with what you think, with how you feel, with the actions that you take, with all of your beingness, the way you see yourself and the way you show up in the world that is creating the kind of reality you experience. Now, the reason I wanted to make this video is because I just noticed that there are so many people that in a way just don't understand the power that they have to direct their life in the way that they want. They in a way just believe that they are a victim of the environment, that they have to remain in the place that they see themselves, uh, though, like the self-image they have, the way that other people see them. They're like, I can't break out of that because other people see me this way. They expect me to be a certain way. I want to share with you some things that I've realized in my own life that have totally transformed the whole way I go about who I am and the way I show up in the world. Now, when I first went through my awakening, I went through a spiritual awakening back in 2012 and this was the most profound shift in my whole entire life. Like I before that saw myself as this very limited being. I saw myself as somebody that had ADHD that couldn't focus. I saw myself as somebody that needed to take Adderall, which is the prescription drug that they give. I didn't really feel self-empowered because I had to do all of these things to make myself normal, to make myself fit in. And then what happened is I said, you know what, I'm going to start looking into meditation because the side effects of meditation are only positive, whereas the side effects of taking Adderall, which is the prescription drug I was given for having ADHD, and really I just had a whole bunch of energy that wasn't grounded. So what I did is, uh, the side effects of that though, where you couldn't eat very much, you couldn't sleep very much. So then I learned meditation and I came across it, started to learn it, and this was shortly after I learned about The Secret, or I already kind of knew about it and planted a seed when I first learned about it. My mom is actually somebody that that made that kind of made me watch the movie. But when I was younger and it planted a seed and that seed began to grow and eventually I became aware of my thoughts and that was when I was learning meditation. This was, I was like 20-something years old, my early 20s, and I started to learn about the idea of meditation and how observing the thoughts made my brainwaves more coherent, all of these benefits. So I was like, you know what, I'm going to try this. So I sat down. I started learning how to meditate and within 2 or 3 days I learned how to observe my thoughts. That was the game changer. I learned how to observe them rather than react to them. And then I became aware that I am not just the results of my thoughts. Like I identified so long growing up with being someone with ADHD, with only being able to focus in a certain way by taking Adderall. That was a belief system. I became aware of all the beliefs that I had that were creating my own reality, all the limitations that I had. And by becoming aware of all this, what I ended up doing is then starting to take my power back because I started to observe my thoughts and say, do I prefer to experience this? Do I want to keep going in this direction? What do I really want out of life? Who am I? I asked myself that question, who am I? And this is when I started to come through and understand and have a spiritual awakening. It kind of happened by accident, but basically what happened is my natural set point went from a scale of 1 to 10, from probably about a 4 or 5 to about a 7 or an 8. I felt really good and I did not really know why. I was like, why do I feel so good? And I realized I was having all these revelations about who I am at a deeper level, who everyone is at a deeper level, and that in a way life is just an experience and that at a deeper level we are an immortal spiritual being having a temporary human experience. And before this is something, you know, I would have never saw myself having this kind of realization, but through meditation through understanding just that self-inquiry, I started to understand that this was something that I in a way chose to experience. And a lot of the pain I went through as a child also growing up and, uh, kind of having an abusive stepmom and all this stuff that I've kind of shared with you guys before, that led to me having this kind of awareness. That pain when it was in a way necessary to cause the pressure for me to then come through and have this kind of spiritual awakening. So basically what happened is my vibrational set point began to raise and that made me more aware of who I am at a deeper level. So that's when I became more aware of my beliefs, all of these things that totally transformed my life. And I've also created a free meditation that will show you how to raise your vibrational set point. It's absolutely free. You can download it in the top of the description box and it will help you to go from maybe a 4 or 5 up to 7 or 8. And that's where I've been ever since. Now of course there's fluctuations with it. But what I noticed is it just become natural for me. So back in the day, I felt in a way I felt high and I was on no drugs at all, just felt high and I didn't know why. And really it was just, it became my natural set point. So now it's not as ecstatic as it was back then, but nonetheless, point being that when I started to learn all of this stuff about me, I started to also look at society. I started to wonder, why don't they teach this in school? Why don't we learn about this younger in life? Why am I just now finding out? Why did I stumble across this and why wasn't this something that was taught to me? Well, then what happens is I went into a whole understanding and kind of digesting information and doing a lot of research as to why everything is the way it is on earth. And basically what I came across, and I'm not saying any of this by the way to be negative, I just want to genuinely share with you guys my perspective. Because it can help you maybe go through this process and you don't have to go through all the negative stuff to get to the positive stuff. But I do encourage you to question what I'm saying. I do, I do, I do encourage you to also question what you experience in your life in general. But a lot of us never really step back and say, why is things in life the way that they are? Why is our system set up in such a way to where we're not really allowed to think what we want to think? We kind of have to we kind of play a certain narrative when we grow up. We go to school, we do what we're told, we listen, and there's not really this kind of thinking outside the box type mentality that's encouraged. It's— it was something that I became aware of, and basically what I came to understand is that there are certain factors into play that make it so that people stay in the little bubble that they are. You know, it's why the media exists, and the media tells you what to believe. And there is in the same way I've explained this before, but there is an electromagnetic energy bubble around our body. This is something the HeartMath Institute has shown. There's a toroidal field around our body and based on our thoughts and our feelings, that's determining the kind of vibration of this field. And when we are focused on certain things, we feel a certain way, we go into the world and we create more resonance with those types of things. So literally your focus is one of the most powerful things you have. The focus you have, the emotions that you feel. Those two things are creating the kind of reality for you. Now, in the same way that we have an electromagnetic energy around our body that is linking up with certain people, that is linking up with certain events in our life, the mass consciousness of the planet is the same way. So there is power when multiple people are thinking similar thoughts. That is adding to the energy of the world. And at a very high level, there are people that understand this, and that's why there's a certain level of control when it comes to the people in the higher-ups that have things like the media companies that are projecting certain ideas to where we think everything in life is negative because the only things we see on the news are negative things. Therefore, we have an expectation of it. We go out, we're putting out these negative thought vibrations, keeping ourselves in this little box that we have created. Not knowing there is so much space outside the box when you come to understand it. And that's where you start to take your power back, is when you question why you are told what you are told and you start to see it from a new authentic point of view. So I'm not telling you that you have to be some conspiracy theorist. All I'm saying is question what you are told. Question the kind of news that comes out at you and decide, do I really want to pay attention to this? Is this something that is serving my energy at a certain level? Yeah, you can be aware of generally what's going on in the world, but is it really serving you? Because our thoughts are creating our kind of experience and collectively right now we all together are linking up our thoughts together and we are creating the future of humanity. So that's why there are certain events that sometimes happen. Certain events will change the vibrational structure of the planet in the direction that that we collectively go in. So there is a purpose behind that. And that's why one of the things that I'm doing with my YouTube channel is I'm helping people to understand that they do create their own reality with the thoughts that they think, with the way that they identify themselves. Now in general, I know that this, a lot of this might sound kind of esoteric, but I ask you to question what I'm saying, but also to question the things that you experience in your own life and why things are the way they are. Because it's not about this negative thing of like, oh, there's all this control. All I'm, I'm, I'm had the intention of imparting to you is that you can take your power back by being aware of the social conditioning. When you become aware of the social conditioning, you automatically start to take your power back because then you can realize that the autopilot mind, the comfortable thoughts are nothing more than comfortable. We've become in a way numb to hearing negative stuff on the news because that's the way that it is. And therefore we believe that that's what's really happening in life when in reality the media companies are owned by the same type of group or the same type of person. So there's a, there is a certain agenda behind keeping people in a bubble. And once again, I'm not saying this is a negative thing and you don't want to get for a while there back in 2012 when I went through my spiritual awakening. I was kind of a rebel for it. I was like, I want to help people wake up to the mass bubble that is kind of projected out of social conditioning, of people thinking they can't take action to be who they prefer to be or that they're creating their own reality. There's a reason we don't learn in school that we create our own reality, and it's not because it's not true, because they have shown with vibrational studies, they've shown that the observer observing something itself changes the experiment itself. They've showed that the water molecules can be rearranged through emotion. They've showed these things. These things are proven, but why aren't they taught? Well, there's a certain level of empowerment that comes in with that. And from a higher level, there's a certain— from a higher level, there's people that have this, this perspective of control because they're afraid if everyone is creating their own reality in a different way, that they would lose that control that they have. So it's a limited paradigm they have. But what I'm telling you is that you can take your power back and start to create your own reality by not giving in to the social conditioning, not giving in to the exactly what you're told when it comes to the media, and that when you start to question these things, that's why this is the first thing you can do to take your power back is start to literally question what you are told. Question what I'm telling you right now. This doesn't mean be skeptical and like go around not knowing what's true, what's not true. Go with what resonates with you, but there's a whole new paradigm you start to expand yourself to when you start to see that everything in life is a reflection of who you are. And even at a collective level, it's a reflection of what we as a society believe. The thought vibrations we put out, that's what determines the collective type events that we're having. So start to understand that us as a collective, we can start to focus on positive experiences, on positive coming together. The only time we create war and all this stuff is from believing in separation. And it's easy to believe in separation if you watch the news. It's easy to believe that everything's not, not gravy out in the world because when you look out there, all you see is separation, labels, difference of religion, difference of culture, difference of skin color, all of these things. And we're made to believe that we are all different. When in reality we all want to be happy. We all want the same things, the same emotions. We just want it in different ways because we are taught this level of social conditioning. So the idea behind this is to take your power back and to start to question things in your life. The second thing you can do to completely take your power back and start to consciously control or intend for certain things to happen in your life is to start to monitor your focus. To stop watching the news, to stop watching things that brings down your emotional set point. This is where you become very discerning of where you put your focus. And sometimes that means that there might be certain people around that bring down your energy. Be aware of that. There are certain people you might be around that'll start to like reinforce that. Yeah. Oh, that's just the way the world is. Oh yes. This is just, you know, this is just what happens. You know, this is hard that all of these things, those are beliefs. You don't have to believe those. Question it as the first one, but secondly, monitor it. If you're around this person, they're constantly bringing you down, start to put your focus somewhere else or relate to what they're saying in a completely new way. Don't identify with what they're saying. Like, that might be true for you. I was the other day, I was at the gym and I was in the sauna and there's, um, this guy that I always see every now and then. Anytime he comes in, he's always kind of spewing his, uh, his ideas of the way it is to lose weight, the way it is to do that. And there's this other guy in there. And this guy, they were kind of talking. He's like, yeah, you know, the first 10 pounds to do this is the hardest. And you know, it's so hard to do this and it's so hard to eat right and it's so hard to do that. I'm like, man, that dude just has a whole bunch of beliefs about this whole process, not even aware that that's a belief that he's subscribing to, that he could change that belief and have a different type of experience. So in the same way, I didn't listen to that and like, oh, that's such a negative person. I wasn't judging him. I was just discerning and being like, oh, that's his beliefs. That's not my beliefs at all. And sometimes he'd look at me like for reassurance, like, right, right. I'd be like, that's true for you. You know what I mean? Like not in a mean judgmental way, but I wouldn't agree to it because I don't— that doesn't— yeah, maybe that is true for you. You know what I mean? That all of this hard to stay with you, the older you get, this and that. I mean, that's, that's all beliefs. You don't have to subscribe to anything that you're told, but you do if you identify with it or you identify with the person or you give that person, you know, the authority or whatever it is. Take your power back by taking your focus and putting it more inwards and saying, what do I believe? Now, what is the third thing you can do to intend and to take your power back? It's to simply set more intentions and to have a focus, to have a vision for what you want to experience. So many people don't have vision for what they want. They don't know what direction they want to go in. They don't know what they'd actually prefer. So therefore they continue to get what they've always got because they always think thoughts they've always thought. Let me say that one more time. They continue to get what they've always got because they always think what they have always thought. Surprised I was able to do that twice. I was like, wait, am I going to be able to say that twice in the same way? So we repetitively think the same things, therefore we experience the same things as a result. That's the autopilot mind. That's the comfortable mind. So if we've never had a vision, that might be comfortable to not have a vision because sometimes to have a vision means you're going in a certain direction. You might have to get outside your comfort zone. I have a vision for me to be a world-renowned speaker and to go around traveling to become an amazing speaker instead of just doing YouTube videos. I want to do both, and sometimes that might be a little uncomfortable. I gave one of my first talks a couple months ago and there were like 40 or 50 people there and it was a little bit nervous going up there. And speak. I spoke for over an hour for my, you know, the first time, the first, I was the first one to go and I spoke for over an hour and it was a little bit nerve wracking the first 5 or 10 minutes. But guess what? That's part of my vision. I had to step outside that comfort zone a little bit, but I've set the intention months ago and I set the focus and the vision months ago that I do travel. I eat at amazing restaurants. I'm speaking in front of people. People are excited, wanting to hear what I say and they feel empowered when they leave. That's my intention, to help people and to grow as a spiritual being. So I want you to remember also you are a spiritual being having a temporary human experience, but don't take my word for it. Go within and ask yourself, is this true for me? Start to go more within. You know, our whole lives we're going without. We are, we are looking outside of us for everything. Oh, if I go do that, if I go do this, I'm in the present moment. Nope, I want that over there. But what about that that happened in the past? We're always identified with that's what's happening outside. Go inside and ask yourself. Don't look for others for validation. Go within and ask yourself, who am I? Am I an immortal spiritual being having a temporary human experience? And as you ask these questions, be aware of what comes up. Be aware of the signs that come up. Maybe it's not like a voice that just, you know, like you hear yourself like, yes, this is who you are from your higher self. Maybe it is. Maybe it's more so just a feeling that you have. Or maybe it's just these signs that come in your life that show you more and more of who you are. So remember, you can take your power back with the awareness of who you are, with knowing that you don't have to believe everything that's kind of spewed out at you on the media in general. You start to take your power back. You don't have to be under the spell of social conditioning. You can realize you do create your own reality. As a collective, we are creating our reality together. We can start to focus in the direction of what we want. We can stop watching the news. We can stop putting our focus on perspectives that don't serve us, and then we can start to consciously intend for things to happen. And as we do that, our whole lives will begin to change.
