Shift Your Perspective Billy J. Atwell

We are told by ‘The World,’ “You can be ANYTHING you want to be if you only believe,” while
simultaneously telling us, “as long as it fits within OUR prescribed set of options, assumptions, and labels of what you SHOULD be.” In other words, “Conform, or we will cast you out.”
Conformity, by definition, is “the act of compliance, submission, acquiescence, or obedience to a specified standard or authority.”
We live in a world where people have continuously engaged in the never-ending battle against oppression. The irony is that most people slip into one of the various ‘oppressed’ societal communities (ranging from family traditions and gender issues, and even the cult of ‘healing the inner child’), communities that themselves require your ‘obedience to a specified standard,’ mainly victim consciousness, to belong. Again, “Prostrate, or we will cast you out.”
What is at the root of all this? Fear.
Not Fear of you, but the Fear of you leaving them behind, of seeing you live in the freedom of being your authentic self, free of conformity and Fear itself, of you illuminating their imprisonment in the cage of Fear, despite their denials of its reality – it only takes one to shatter their illusion, and this is why they reject you, scape-goat you, or even come at you with violence; anything to remove the threat of the truth of their imprisonment to Fear.
So how do you “be not conformed to this world?”
By trusting your inner voice, that higher voice of The Divine. By taking a bold step into The Light of Love and trusting that you will be shielded, protected, and led into the full fruition of your dream of Heaven on Earth. And how do you do that? Listen in as I share the wisdom of my discovery and remembrance of The Truth.

How long have you sought happiness, courage, confidence, and direction outside yourself; how long have you sought outside of yourself the power to overcome Fear so that you may change your life? How many ‘self-improvement’ books, courses, and ‘self-love’ practices have you engaged in to find It?
Have you found it yet? Of course not, so why continue to look for it there; why keep rounding around in circles when you already know it will change nothing? And even more deeply, why are you paying people for something they cannot give you? Why are you following their instructions of manipulating yourself into thinking that you must be good and worthy enough and ‘earn it’ before possessing this power?
There is a reason you haven’t (and you NEVER will) found this power anywhere outside of yourself. You’ll never locate It there because It doesn’t exist out there, and, more importantly, you already possess It – you already have the power to transform your world. Realize that It has been inside of you all this time, that you’ve had it BEFORE you came into this world, that all you need to do is change the way you think; you only need to shift your perspective.
The Divine Source has already equipped you with the power you need to live out your ‘Hero’s Journey,’ to break free from the old story stemming from the cyclical patterns of your childhood abuse and enter into the new story; the ability to ‘fear no evil, to be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for God will shield and buckle you, cover you and protect you and no evil shall come near you or your dwelling while being guided through the valley of the shadow of death.”
The only question you should ask yourself is, “Why am I not using this power; why am I not believing in It and trusting It?
What is this power? Listen in as I share the wisdom of my discovery and remembrance.

Ask yourself, “Why do I allow Fear to control my mind?”
Is it because you feel helpless to Fear? That Fear is a force outside of yourself that you cannot control?
The truth is, you are not a subservient to Fear; Fear is your slave.
The only way to stop allowing Fear to dominate your life is to realize that Fear has no power to control you.
You see, Fear is only one half of the energy force, the destructive side, known as “God,” and you will NEVER eliminate it, as it is eternal - All you can do is cease scooping it up from the ‘Divine Buffet’ and putting it onto your plate (your mind). But even that perspective isn’t enough.
Until you remember the ultimate truth of who you are, you will see yourself as helpless and weak against ‘an outside force;’ you will continue to struggle and fight against Fear, which only strengthens its hold on you. Truthfully, this ‘struggle and fight’ within your mind is the struggle to accept your true nature. Once you make peace with that, it’s game over!
When you genuinely understand and live from the perspective that God and you are one (because only God exists), you realize that Fear has no power over you because it is you; it cannot control you, force you, or make you choose it – it is simply an option, and it can only offer itself as a way of experiencing life, though that life will be one of watching your dreams continuously be destroyed right before your eyes; it is the choice of curses, hell, darkness, and the destroyer of dreams, and why would you consciously choose that?

Are you living in the present moment? If not, you are “dead;” you’re wasting your life!
I am not saying your life isn’t meaningful or that you shouldn’t have dreams to work towards.
I am asking you, are you wasting your life trying to “be” something that you are not, something according to other people’s perceptions of what it takes to be valuable and acceptable in life? Are you  ‘conforming to the world,’ following the crowd, hiding yourself in order not to be rejected? Or are you valuing yourself, being yourself, because YOU understand that YOUR life is meaningful?
Ask yourself,  “Am I, in this present moment, living in the truth of who I am, or am I hindering my life because I’m clinging to a false version of myself, the one that stems from other people’s fear, the one I pretend to be to in order not to be rejected, Am I in the world but not of it, or am I conforming to it?”
If you find yourself stuck in victim consciousness, you must exchange it to be free. You must cast off the ‘old nature and put on the new. ' You must step into the furnace and be reborn from the ashes—you are The Phoenix, after all!
Letting go of victim consciousness is, symbolically, releasing Barabbas and crucifying Christ; it is surrendering your struggle and simply being ‘The Light’ and allowing IT to ‘raise you from the dead’ and to flow through you and provide for you, allowing IT to live your life and be you.
Letting go isn’t giving up; it is powerful and brave, something most people fear. Remember that, trust, allow the ‘trumpets of The Last Judgement’ to blow on YOUR life and rejoice!

Once you have freed yourself from old thought patterns and realized, "You become what you think about," you must shift your perspective toward creating a new future. Otherwise, you will continue to perpetuate the present moment, which is neither, spiritually speaking, hell nor heaven; it's a state of limbo – where there is no vision, the people perish.
But once you reach this point, the present moment isn't discarded but is transformed.
Even though you are free from the past and have fixed the vision of your future in your mind, your body still lives in the present moment; it is the vehicle that carries you from your current situation to the fulfillment of your vision. You must begin to live as though your prayers are already answered and look away from all that distracts you.
This way of living is not easy initially, for it is not the way of the World, which requires a detailed map of all the necessary steps to take between point A and point B; it needs assurance that all will work out before moving into the unknown wilderness.

Being in the present moment is highly misunderstood. Why?
The present moment is shaped by what was. When you focus only on the present moment, you only view what is, what is wrong, and what you lack. Things that keep you stuck running around in circles and never getting anywhere.
And yet, you must be in the present moment to be free from the past; it is an essential element in freeing yourself from past trauma and cycles of the past.
"Wait, I'm confused. Didn't you say, 'Focusing on the present moment keeps me stuck?" Yes, it's a paradox.
Let me explain.
When you properly focus on the present moment, you notice and then redirect your mind away from the internal loop patterns of your thoughts, which began in your childhood; it's the way to break free from the unconscious slavery to a mindset that you've inherited that is shaping your continuously unfolding present moment; it helps you to recognize that you are experiencing moments of déjà vu because you are creating your life from events in your past that no longer exists, outside of your mind – you are shaping your World with the ghosts of the past.
