What Do You Create If You Are Totally Free?

Hi, I know I haven’t been posting for a while, which is quite unusual. As you can see in the Archive, I’ve been posting at least once a week for more than two years.

I have been in a strange place — not physically, but energetically. It was like caught in an air pocket. Nothing was holding me down really. I was completely free to go anywhere. Yet I had no idea where to go or what to do. Life felt like unreal, as if watching a movie.

Have you had this experience? I think more and more people are getting caught in this strange air pocket as the Ascension progresses.

Before, we created out of need

Life is about creation. We incarnate in this physical world to create freely and joyously so that we may experience love and abundance in a tangible way. We create relationships, home, work, arts — even new lives.

The thing is that, so far, we usually created out of need or habit. We felt insecure by ourselves so we created relationships. The world felt harsh and even dangerous so we created safe and comfortable homes. We had to make our living so we created businesses and jobs.

Something is changing for some people. We are getting into a place where we don’t have particular needs.

I don’t mean I have tons of saving that I don’t need to work. But I know money comes along when I need it. Likewise, I am single, but I feel safe and secure by myself. In short, I am already content.

So what do you do when you don’t have needs?

We can still create. In fact, this is the best place to create from. It’s so much easier to start a new project when we don’t have to worry so much about money and other restrictions. And we know we have the best relationships and friendships when we are happy with ourselves.

But it does feel — strange. It’s new. There is no “drive”. It’s so easy to get lazy and sit where I am. In other words, I was getting a serious question from the Universe, “Okay, so what do you do when you don’t HAVE TO do anything? What do you CHOOSE to create? You are completely free to choose, you know.”

Have you asked these questions to yourself before? Try it. You may find a new aspect of yourself.

So here is my new creation. . .

After some lazy and at the same time tormenting time (the latter is totally self-inflicted), I decided to start a new blog. Well, actually two. I am starting a bilingual blog, one in English and one is Japanese, both about Akashic Records and related topics such as Spirit Guides, reincarnation, chakras, and more.

I am not quitting this blog Real Life Spirituality. This is where I discuss spirituality in the bigger context, such as spirituality in business and entrepreneurship, spiritual healing, and how I am doing personally in my spiritual and personal growth. I may be posting less often, but I promise I will post, so please don’t unsubscribe!

The blog at Akashic Record Reading, on the other hand, will be focused on Akashic Records. There may be some over-wrap with what I have written here, but plenty of new contents are coming, too.

For me, this is a fun experiment. I will be posting basically the same content in English and Japanese. Will the comments be different? I guess so. Depending on readers’ feedback, the introduction of each post will have to be different between the English and Japanese blogs. How will each grow up to be?

If you read Japanese or know someone who does, here is the link for the Japanese blog. (And while you are at it, please click on the button at the end of the post that has the red R. It helps to spread the news of this new blog. Thank you.)

This is also my attempt to nurture my root more. I’ve been in the US since 1995, and although English is my second language, it is my primary language now. I haven’t been writing nor reading Japanese for a long time. Will my brain produce something more interesting if I stimulate it with my first language?

We still have a long way to go in Ascension

We are so used to the “creation out of need” mode. It’s a lot easier — well, at least it feels easier — to create when we have needs. This is why people with particular needs, such as needs to care for small children or sick family members, become surprisingly strong.

That’s fine, but we do want to learn to motivate ourselves. To create just because.

Our Judgement Of Good And Bad

If you are not feeling content, peaceful and fulfilled, this post is for you. There is only one thing that is hurting you. It’s not your health condition, not your excess weight, not your job nor the boss, not your financial situation, not your relationship or the lack of it, nor any other reasons you can come up with.

I’ve already said it here and here that there are no such thing as bad thing and it’s our judgement that bothers us. We are so addicted to making judgments that we will create problems or choose to see something as bad if we don’t find enough things to judge.

But maybe this topic deserves repetition. Let me put it as blunt and straightforward as I can.

What if I told you I had a cancer?

• Would you be sorry for me? Why?
• Do you think I did something wrong and I am getting punished? Why?
• Am I supposed to be sad, panicked, angry, resentful, etc? Why?
• What makes you think having a cancer is a bad thing?

Well, I have no such diagnosis, but I am using this example because it seems to hit people’s nerves. Why, just why, do you think a disease like cancer is bad?

Because I will die soon? So? You know I will leave sooner or later, right?
Because it will hurt? Yeah, that sounds no fun. I don’t like pain. But pain doesn’t have to mean mental struggle.

There is really no reason why cancer should be considered bad. But you made the judgment. Some of you may even have made the assumption that having a serious disease like a cancer means I did something wrong or I “attracted” it by some ill thoughts. Ha!

And of course, you make hundreds of other judgements every day. Now forget about little Akemi. You make hundreds of judgements about the things that happen to you. Every judgement brings fear, confusion, anger, anxiety, guilt and shame.

Why our judgements are always wrong

Our ego makes judgements based on what we know, either directly or indirectly. In a sense, growing up and getting educated is all about learning how to judge.

The problem here is that the knowledge base we use to make our judgement is extremely limited. Even a Noble prize winner knows very little of what it is there in this Universe. Therefore our judgements are always limited, or downright wrong and misleading.

For example, most people don’t know what happens after death. So they think death is the end and judge it is bad. (As you know, I write about after death and reincarnation. Death is only a transformational process.)

Many people think having a job is the only way to make a living, so they judge a job loss is bad. (As I look back, I see that every time I lost a job, I eventually got even better job.)

Regarding how life unfolds while we are in this lifetime, “good” things often come out from “bad” things. But we don’t see it (unless you have very good precognition ability), so we judge something such as a traffic ticket or job loss is bad.

Bad turning good

Do yo need some examples of how seemingly bad things can bring wonderful results? Here is a story from an ancient Chinese book. (I read it in Japanese, so I don’t know what it’s called in English — if someone knows, please let me know):

There lived a farmer in the northern area of ancient China, near the border. One day, his horse ran away. The villagers heard about his loss and visited him to say they are sorry about it. But the man said, “It’s not a problem. This can turn out good.” People didn’t understand him and thought he was strange.

Several days later, the horse came back, along with several other wild horses from beyond the border that it befriended with. Horses from the north were highly praised so this was a lot of gain for the farmer. The villagers heard about it and visited him to say they are happy for his good luck. But the man said, “This is not necessarily good.” People didn’t understand him and thought he was strange.

The farmer had a young son. The son grew fond of riding these great wild horses. One day, however, he fell off and was injured badly. The villagers heard about this accident and visited the farmer to say they are sorry about it. But the man said, “It’s not a problem. This can turn out good.” People didn’t understand him and thought he was strange.

Later, China started a war with the northern barbarians. Most young men were drafted and many never returned. But the farmer’s son was spared because he was crippled.

The story then concludes its moral saying, “Thus, the good and the bad are intertwined like a rope. You would not know if something is good or bad.”

I would say there is no good nor bad, it’s just our judgement.

What does this all mean to our everyday life?

Does this mean we want to just sit back be a lazy couch potato because, uh, nothing is bad and everything is already good?

Yes and no. By no, I mean, not unless sitting on the couch and doing nothing is what brings you joy. We are all here to experience our creative power in this physical world. So you probably want to create what you love. (Creation in this world usually takes some inspired actions.)

It does, however, mean you can do away with all those unnecessary struggles that you indulge in. This helps you to direct even more energy to your creation.

Also, it does mean we can relax. There is a point about doing nothing. So yes, sometimes you find me on the couch daydreaming. Fine.

I know this is a simple, yet very hard to grasp idea. It takes a lot of unlearning. Take your time. When you feel troubled, anxious, depressed or angry, stop and think what kind of judgments you are making. (You are certainly making judgements when you feel these emotions.) And let your judgment go. If possible, laugh at your judgements. Laugh at your own ego making all these judgements as if it knows everything. The ego is like a seventeen-year-old who thinks she knows everything about life. (Photo credit)
