Entertainment Value

You are, where you are in life because it is where you have seen yourself headed.  



Okay, maybe you did not specifically wish to go there, but you are there now because it was the direction your focus took you.  

We have all heard the saying, “What you think about, you bring about.”    So we think about where we wish to go and we get this nice warm feeling.  We are not talking about THAT kind of thinking in this case. We are talking about the rest of the time.    The things you focus on when you are not focusing on your goals. 

Let's think about entertainment:  TV shows, Movies, seemingly meaningless banter between friends.  The news, gossip, meetings, discussions, and in particularly Facebook posts.      

These inputs of information all build up in energy and have either a positive effect on your life or an adverse effect.     Let's look at these like you would look at your bank account.   You have deposits and withdrawals. Each entertainment that you put your attention into, has an effective value to it.   Some of the values are increasing your energy and some of them are depleting your supply.    

Just like activities in your life increase the surplus in your bank account while others make withdrawals.   Such as: Working at your job increases your funds while going out shopping decreases it.

Let's take a look at how you will know if an entertainment is increasing your supply or decreasing it. As you are enjoying reading through your friend's Facebook posts.  Notice if the post left you feeling inspired or agitated? Uplifted or let down?  

If you notice that you have a friend whose posts are always about things that are pulling from your supply...   Send that person a blessing and ask for their focus to be changed to one of appreciation.   Then use the filters provided by Facebook and stop following that friend's posts.

If the post itself is an upsetting topic, send a blessing again to the topic and hide the post from your timeline. If you feel it is important to pass on this information.  Write a short blessing for the situation and send that on.  

Let the awareness of what is happening remind you of what you want to see happen and that you wish to fill your account to overflowing.        

Do this with all of life.   When you are watching a movie notice if it is making you feel uncomfortable and bless the situation in the movie.  You can either stop watching or keep blessing your way through the film.      

Use your entertainment to enrich your life and add supply to your life force energy. 


Behind The Scene

Our thoughts and feelings are affected by stimulation that many people view as unimportant.  It is thought that TV and Movies do not affect the outcomes in life because the situations are not real.   But take a deeper look at what is going on behind the scene.

Let’s go back to the idea of the bank account. You wish to purchase a new couch. The couch costs $800.00. You need $200 more to purchase the couch. You fully understand the concept that spending your money elsewhere is not going to help you purchase a couch.
Now let’s merge this idea that the price of the couch translates to units of wholeness. (Feeling whole and well and complete.) 
So let's say instead of money you need 800 units of wholeness to bring yourself into alignment with your new couch. You sit down on your old couch and turn on the TV for a little entertainment. You think the movie (a romantic comedy) you are about to watch will be fun for a couple of hours to get your mind off of your problems. 
Somewhere in the love story, something goes terribly wrong between the happy couple. In the twist to the plot, someone cheats or get’s hurt or they both get swindled.   It is the writer of the movie's job to grab you emotionally at this point and make you NEED to watch the movie to the end to see what happens. 
This twist if it is strong enough can cost you several units of wholeness. If the event in the movie somehow parallels things that you have emotional attachments to in your real life, Then it will cost you considerably more because your own memories begin to play. 

This movie just left you feeling empty and sad or hurt on a level that you were not feeling before you watched it.

We are asking you to recognize that you just spent some of your units of wholeness and you were not even aware that it happened. You walk away thinking… “Thank goodness it was just a movie because that really sucked.” But then you keep replaying the tragic scenes over and over in your head. (Each replay costs you)  Then you begin noticing how they parallel your own thoughts and events in your own life.   Before you know it you have been pulled farther and farther into the bottom of your bank account as you feel less and less complete.
This was done outside of the wishes of the conscious mind.  It was done by resonance and harmonic conversion.    If you find yourself feeling things that are not in alignment with the direction you wish to be going... Bless them!   Ask your own heart to assist you, ask yourself what you could do in this moment that would begin to heal the unhealed wounds within yourself.  Right now could be the perfect time for you to make peace with the unseen past.
