I have heard the idea that each of us has created our reality. Everything and everyone around us is here because we have “manifested” it. This idea is one of the main premises in Busting Loose From the Money Game: Mind-Blowing Strategies for Changing the Rules of a Game You Can’t Win by Robert Scheinfeld. Last year I took this at its word and acted this out. This was not good. I ended up neglecting some people in my life to the point that they were feeling abandoned. I had left out an important addition to that idea.

Let’s say you are creating all that shows up in your life but let’s carry this idea farther. If everything around you is your creation it is a part of you. How do you want to be treated, with honor and kindness? You must treat all people the way you want to be treated. If you want to be neglected then treat others with neglect but if you want to be treated with attention and honor, treat those around you with attention and honor. In short, if you neglect something or someone you are neglecting yourself.

This train of thought leads me deeper. If I give someone something am I giving to myself? If I am giving to myself, I have not really lost anything, have I? What if I buy something from some one, am I really buying from myself? If I am doing that to myself, will it come back to me? How far can you carry this? But if this is true, there should not be any debt, but there is.

I guess I have not jumped on this bandwagon yet. Maybe I have not evolved far enough for this.

I do believe we are all connected but I also believe we are individuals trying to live together.
