“I’m at the Helm, but I’m Not in Charge of the Wind”

At the Helm

At the Helm

My husband said that to me the other night.  I think he finally “got it.”  Though he does follow metaphysical precepts, having given up the religion and the Catholic Church for lent at age 16, this whole “create your own reality” thing didn’t quite sit with him.

That’s he and my daughter there on one of our sailing adventures.  She’d left the kids at home with dad to take a turn on the river or two.

And basically, that’s the way the universe works — you’re at the helm, but you’re not in charge of the wind.  HOWEVER, if you know how to sail, unless there’s no wind at all — and at times life is like that — you can go anywhere you need to go anytime!

A good sailor can sail most any wind.  If it’s too much, he can reef the main, if the wind’s at your back you can sail like the old Columbus ships used to sail.  But with a sailboat, you can slice along the side of the wind like there’s no tommorrow.

And there’s no annoying motor to stuff your ears full of nasty sounds.

There’s the beauty of the seal pup that follows at a distance and the glimmer of light that is cast into a trillion diamonds across the surface of the water.  The wind, she is Wild, and she will take  you on a journey you won’t easily forget if you let her.

That’s why our friend named our house a land yacht — she has that look about her and the winds, the Wildwinds, bless us with their bounty all the time.  And us being sailors and all, actually pirates, ARGH, but the good kind like Will Turner — my journey is to help ferry living souls where they can find a better life for themselves.

I do that through my writings and affiliate marketing.

So if you wonder why you might have issues with the law of attraction, just remember you are at the helm, but you’re not in charge of the wind.

So dear friends — you need to learn to sail.

Law of Attraction and Forrest Gump

Yes, I know I’m all over the charts with this website, but that’s the way that it is.  When I said, Notes Upon the Wildwind, I meant it.  Whatever the Wildwind brings me goes here.

I’ve had some really really great days lately.  I’ve got an understanding of the law of attraction that has opened up to me in a new light.  I’ve been working with “create your own reality” thoughts and ideas since 1978-79, but let me tell you, you can never understand enough.

As we move through life, we go through these spirals, layers and layers of experience and knowledge moving upward, expanding our consciousness. There are these moments when we cross where we’ve been before, energetically speaking, and we’re on a “higher” elevation of it.

But the past isn’t linear – it’s not laid out behind me in some straight line.  It’s more like the “self” the “me” of that moment is still there – alive – living in that time and I can look back and almost see her – like two dimensions coming together – only I appear as a ghost in hers as she does in mine.

Make sense?

We’re both having this Aha moment.  We both see each other.  The recognition is there  that this moment is so energetically charged because of the multiple-layered selves shared experience, this multiple Aha-click.  It is then that we briefly pause – make ethereal eye contact as it were, and with a tip of the hand to the imaginary hat we each move onto our own paths in this spiraling cornucopia of spirit, energy, and life, the more empowered because of the experience.

It’s amazing how our vibrations really do affect the whole deal.  You can be resonating on certain levels with different thoughts and feelings and these can manifest fairly quickly, others not so quickly.  Which means there’s resistance and/or a disconnect in that area.

Manifesting using the law of attraction is an incremental process in your life.  Some areas you’re really great at consciously manifesting quickly, other areas can be slower to manifest — but you move around – and work with the individual points as they come to you to work with – one step – one point at a time.

What’s really funny, it  that is exactly how we built our 5.9K square foot house.  Three stories, built by us — not by others.  Took three years, with the hubby working 100% on it and me on weekends and every third Friday (which I had off), vacations, holidays, etc.

One stick, one board, one nail, one wall, one floor at a time.  If you try to look at the big picture of your life and think of change or manifestation — you can be overwhelmed.  Instead find one small area that’s manageable and apply your consciousness there.

The braces will just fall away

Just start – stick with it – using the law of attraction to draw to you what you need – and then flow with it – take action when you are compelled to.

One step at a time.

Baby steps, but baby steps build into full fledged walking steps until you find the rhythm of your walk – and pretty soon you’re running.

and like Forest Gump,  once you start running and the braces just fall away….

You are run-ning.
