Last week I encountered a difficult client who caused me some frustration. At first all I did was think how irritating he was. Until I realized- I attracted this experience. When I put back the focus on myself, it helped because I couldn't be blaming the other, rather, all responsibility went back to myself.
I then encountered one of the previous articles emailed by our friend Ed and it helped clarify things a bit further for me. That the outer reflects the inner: thus, its really no use blaming things/people because we create/attract it/them. Here's an excerpt from the article:
----------
"The outer experience is simply a reflection of the inner. The creative process unfolds continually, infinitely, constantly. You cannot miss it. It's going to happen whether you pay attention or not. So the question becomes: how do you create the inner experience with the most harmony and ingredients of joy or the ingredients you seek in the outer? The answer is, you train your attention away from the outer long enough to perceive how the inner process works. Once you have perceived how the inner process works, that is, you have lined up the details of the inner mechanisms: thoughts, beliefs, feelings, emotions, tendencies, influences, choices, then you are free to go back and watch the outer reflect the new understanding.
It is not that you live in life focused only on the inner, you could do that without a life, or a physical manifestation of life. The objective here is to live in life in the outer, from the inner. Which, if you understand, you do every time you open your eyes. All the sense perceptions you receive are your creation. The more powerful your rational training, the more time it takes to get this turned around correctly, unless you can use your rational training to help you. The difference seems to be in the conundrum or paradox of experiencing the outer physical reality as real while knowing it's a creation of our inner being.
