WHY THIS?
December 2011. Why this and not that? Why is “this†the way it “isâ€?  I often get asked questions, in a reading, that contain a “whyâ€. There are an infinite number of answers to a “why†question. Yet, in the end, we only pick one from what seems like few choices. Possibility becomes the often overlooked aspect of a “why†question.  In the moment, there appears to be only one or perhaps a couple of answers to the “why†question, or so it seems. We think ourselves into a narrow area and then with feeling roll the dice in hopes of selecting one of the finite and obtainable answers to our questions as to “whyâ€. This is why it feels as if there are few choices to the ‘why’ question. It  happens when thoughts and feelings collide. This can makes sense but is it true for you?
People often get attached to a definitive answer. We are unaware that the possibilities are endless if you just consider the amount of energy coming at you at any given moment. So much energy is available that the “why†actually becomes irrelevant, in the moment. We often believe in limits placed upon our “why†questions when it comes to feasible answers. Knowing that possibility is infinite, provides you with a shift in reality and of possible outcomes. People living in possibility – not demanding definitive finality – are given relief from the choices of right and wrong and what they believe that to be. This is not to suggest that making a choice one way or the other is inappropriate, otherwise nothing might ever happen, but with an open-ended “why†you get relief in the form of flexibility.
Why something happens a certain way and not another is often obtained from an unconscious choice. Choices are limited by the content of our perceived container and conditions. Conditions are what narrows the ‘why†question into a few choices. They seem apparent. If you look at the incoming energy available to a person, every person, it often looks like an abundant wave of possible choices. Not one choice is “better†than the other, but its containment creates comparison.  Comparison never is energetically healthy, it disrupts the wave pattern unique to each of us. We perceive incoming energy as future time and in a sense, yet to be realized. The only limit placed upon the incoming energy is constructed by you, for you most likely based on your conditions an unconscious limitation. These limitations often feel like, “I have no other choice.â€
We generate momentum
So “why†do we do anything at all? Because we are energy and we generate momentum. Momentum is what all energy has going for it, only we create blocks, or issues, to the momentum in the form of definitive answers based on needs. Desire is the exception, it seems, to enhance momentum. Needs will congest your way if you are looking outside of yourself for those answers, you will be unaware of the price you fully intend to pay to have those needs met. In this circumstance the giving and taking of energy is the sacrifice (not to be mistaken as offering) contemplated in all conditional “why†questioning.  It is a part of being human to question, but  self-generated conditions and containment are what compresses your energy pattern and causes pain.
So why do I suffer? Now here is a good question for sure! Â This question gets asked often, but disguised as something else. To admit to suffering is difficult, and honest. Â We often re-framed the question of suffering within particular a circumstance:
Why do I have this job?
Why don’t I have a husband or wife?
Why do I have a very sharp pain in my lower back?
Why do I like things to be in order?
Perhaps to say they are all the same question and based in suffering is too simplistic. It all comes down to what I have is not enough, what do I do to make it feel different?  Why is it this way and not some other way? The energetic equivalent is how do I deal better with this stuff? How do I accept what “isâ€, even if what “is†in my perception suffering?  Perceptions of pain appear to be a part of the life experience. Not everyone perceives pain in the same way, however, how we choose to participate with that need is infinite. Yes, pain is a need.
So why do I fall in love?
Same as pain, but different packaging. The point is you are a wave of patterned energy and your options are in-fact infinite just like all energy. If you consider yourself an energetic entity, this awareness will cut you some slack from the pin-pointed-ness of unconscious questions, and limited choices. What is actually available to you as an evolving conscious being, perceiving everything all the time is itself a result of that perception. You won’t end your suffering but you will gain countless options and choices when questioning “why meâ€.
Yes environment does play a huge role in all of this, but the point is to broaden your awareness of the questioning of “whyâ€. The question itself is self-limiting because it presupposes a set reality. We exist in a fluid reality that is denied and avoided because we are desperate to portray structure through security.
Why this?
Why anything?
Mainly because we can ask the question and believe we have an answer. We have witnessed a lot of success with this method as a proven mode of inquiry and to meet basic security, but is this really enough any more?
Unless we attempt to extend our basic foundation into a bigger grounded foothold, we will never break free of the endless “why’s†contained in our story. We will only seek out answers that “fitâ€.  Answers that fit are limited to fixed points and fixed points block incoming possibilities and ultimately sabotage your perception and contributions into a fully conscious experience.
Being free to explore the option of, “Wait a minute I do not have to feel or think this way right now.â€
Why? Because I can. I can actually interrupt the uncomfortable feeling I’m having right now because I am aware of where that energy is coming from (and going to) and I can consider other options to my perception and the use of precious time. The uncomfortable feeling in this case is past time.
I can consciously entertain my unconscious involvement with suffering and take a chance, or whatever feels better, allowing the momentum of this energy to trump my pain with possible alternatives to what I currently believe to be “what isâ€. This however is devoid of having a conscious experience.
This choice has to be made by you in the present moment because I can assure you that the pain you are feeling coupled with the fear has absolutely nothing to do with the momentum of the present moment based upon what you are thinking and feeling. To stop the need to suffer, in its tracks, you have to consider its path. The energy path that got it to switch on in your head and body in the first place, is the same switch that gets flipped each and every time you go there, or are triggered buy your environment. More often than not it is unconscious. No one would consciously choose to suffer the pain of limited options and neglect the possibility to receive unlimited options that are rightfully theirs, and a part of their energy system. This energy is a part of your construct and in order to be relevant to your needs you have to be conscious of its existence and extension into your life flow of energy.
How does the reality of an infinite number of answers to a “why†question change the purpose for the question in the first place? You no longer “need to know†it in this context, because it will not register within the reality you are experiencing, and with your output of energy, and the awareness as held within your perception. These contributions to your energy make for a natural momentum as energy flows into your conscious past as – Giving.
It really all boils down to witnessing yourself as an energy system with a unique pattern of life. Learning to think and feel yourself in completely unlimited perceptions takes time to comprehend and feel in your body, and to put into day-to a-day lifestyle. It requires courage to experience what it truly feels to see beyond anything that comes down to “my only choiceâ€.
Why this? Because “this†is what we are conscious of right now, and ‘why†because we think, without a “why†we would never learn. Mind-based, being tethered to Earth with the ability to feel. Asking “why†feels natural, the “this†is everything and perhaps more. It is entirely up to who asks the question and the contents of their reality paradigm.
