From a Slave to a Master - "You create your own Reality" (or so I thought)

A Memoir

Chapter 7

Excerpt: I knew, right from the start, that I would have to make my enlightenment with the tools I was given. Life presented me with no money, no uniqueness, no specialty. But I knew that I still had everything I needed to succeed. I was facing a problem, though, I didn't know what were these tools to help me. Eventually, I came to realize that I was right. Enlightenment didn't require me to be rich (like Budhha) or good looking/successful/likable (like other ascended masters). I could really start from scratch with only one thing in my toolbox. My thoughts and feelings!

Let’s play a short game of make-believe in which you forget for a while who you are and imagine instead that you are the greatest King on earth, the King of Kings, the mightiest creature in the universe – in fact, let’s pretend that you are God!

And as the King-God that you are, you play, have fun and enjoy your life. You use every wonderful thing in creation for your ecstasy, and when the fun seems to end you simply invent new games for your delight and enjoyment. One of the most satisfying games you have ever come up with is called the King’s Training Seminar (KTS). You created a place, a territory, in which you built many sophisticated facilities for training little princes and princesses to become kings and queens, such as yourself. This whole program is like a reality TV-show with one big difference.

The trainees, the royalty children, do not know who they are, where they are or what kind of place it is.

How can that be? Well, do not forget you are King-God and you can invent and create any facility you desire, from the smallest of the small to the hugest and most complicated that could ever be conceived!

The hardest and toughest lesson in your invented seminar is the Recollection Class. This class, longer than all the other classes, teaches the students one simple yet elusive lesson, and that is to remember their origin, to remember who they are, to remember the KTS and eventually to remember who sent them to the seminar, who their instructor is and the purpose of their entire indoctrination.

You, as their master-teacher responsible for the curriculum, must ensure the success of all your students and therefore have to give them the tools to remember. It is a great challenge and not to be taken lightly. You see, the students who begin the seminar come from different backgrounds and bring from home their own tools, their own pocket money, and their own box of treasures to help them pass and get good grades. Therefore, to provide equality and a fair chance to all, regardless of their heritage or past, you had to contrive some kind of system, a mechanism that would apply evenly to everybody. You had to think of an apparatus that would be available to each and every student, with no discrimination or limitation; a tool that would be accessible freely, clearly and abundantly. You had to conceptualize something that everybody has that would help them, in due time, to remember the lesson.

Eventually, you, the king, came up with a brilliant solution.

The only element that is common to all human beings and abundantly accessible to them regardless of all else, is the consciousness and awareness of the individual. A human being can lose everything s/he has ever had or accumulated but at the end of the day, they cannot be left without their own thoughts and feelings. The chatter in the human mind is constant, emotions can easily be generated or felt and no artificial system or external force can avoid one from thinking or feeling.


The gift of consciousness is the instrument that is destined to assist human beings in comprehending life, and eventually in remembering how life really operates. When one finally realizes that one is the master of his thoughts and feelings and therefore learns to exercise and direct them as they wish, life changes and expands. One important by-product of this new remembrance is the recognition that one can really create anything one wants including enlightenment!

If you want one rule of thumb on your path towards enlightenment, know this – you are creating your own reality by your thoughts and feelings. It is as simple and direct as that and has neither limitations nor footnotes. You create what you see and sense around you, you create the events that happen to you, and you create the people you meet. You also create each and every single circumstance in your daily life. Yes, YOU create all that and the sooner you adapt to this belief the sooner you will be able to create what you desire.

Indeed, there are more lessons to learn regarding the practical aspects of this principle. There are certain thoughts and feelings that should first be espoused before prince-charming can enter your life, or before you become rich, not to mention enlightened, but these additional lessons are merely minor supplements to the grand one – You Create Your Own Reality. In the coming posts, I will elaborate on these practical tools but until then just contemplate the notion that you create your own reality, walk your life knowing that what you see is your own making, ponder it and accept responsibility for your life, for what you form and soon enough you will consciously actualize your enlightenment.

For you see, the secret is no secret at all. Everything is created simply by your choice. You choose - therefore you create. And how do you choose? I will discuss this in future posts.

A side note - little did I know back then, when I took my first deliberate steps in my consciousness, that the tool I have just found, my great savior, would eventually turn to be my biggest warden. Only years later I came to know that there's a simpler way to enlightenment. Not that I could take it, as my life required me to follow both paths.

" Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you." - Steve Jobs

All i know the day i was born, i already thought about the Bible, that Demons exist and God exist, if you do bad things in life you gonna go to hell, and my mother always told me that if you work hard you will succeed in life, everything i've been told was just a mere reality that they have. Reality itself is quite strange, stranger than a fiction. God created this game called reality and it's very important to learn the rules and observe how the world works, whoever learns the rules and knows how the world works, he/she will gain consciousness and enlightenment, therefore he can create his own rules once he got tired of traditional rules, then created his/her own reality.

I have searched all over “google” the internet with a question I have that pertains to “creating your own reality”. While I am a huge fan of and believer in this concept, and also in thoughts being energy and powerful, I am still stuck on one aspect. When I see all of the inspirational quotes, or blogs, or courses or simply just articles outlining the path to being more conscious and aware and creating a powerful reality you desire, I think of the human beings on this planet that no amount of personal conscious thought or creating reality could ever help them. I’m talking some real dire situations here. Filthy water to drink, barely enough food to eat, no proper sanitation…where do these folks fit into the “create your own reality”. It is my only hangup with this system of thought and I don’t know how to appease my belief in this thought while knowing there are a lot of people in this world that will never have the opportunities that I have no matter how much they guide their thought and try to create their own reality. Anyone have any light to shed on my psychological dilemma?

People choose the circumstances of their lives. They know very well to which physical environment they will be born. Once inside that reality they have the tools, like any other human, to choose different life. In fact, their dire situations serve as a catalyst to make a change in their lives.
Why would vou think that poor people, compared to the rich ones, are different in thier capacities to create they reality?!
Did I answer your Q?

The whole idea of “you create your own reality” has always rubbed me the wrong way. Mostly that’s because it’s simplistic. Concepts like karma, duality, and the “mind body connection” are far more complex than we seem to want them to be. It takes work to understand them and then to apply them to our lives. Also, sometimes, I feel like there’s some shaming going on here. There’s this insinuation that if you don’t have what you want, your own reality, then you’re unenlightened and lazy. Now that’s compassionate…gREat post.

You said several things that deserve response

  1. Actually, we don't create our reality like a painter creates a drawing, but rather we choose from multi potential realities.
  2. Those concepts that the mind yearns to understand are real only as long as one chooses them. Karma included.
  3. Enlightenment is not about having but about being. The western world praise achievements but that doesn't mean westerns are enlightened. Conversely, poor and lack are not prerequisites for enlightenment either.
    Thanks for this comment 👍🙂

Thanks for clarifying.

we choose from multi potential realities.

I love that !

Thanks @nomad-magus I really admit that you are a great writer .

When one finally realizes that one is the master of his thoughts and feelings .

Everything we do in life is determined by our thoughts and the beautiful things one has physically started with a thought so what will always see at the outside is a vision of some one's thought . If they are bad ,we can also tell from your physical actions .
That is why I always advise friends not to let thoughts destroy them because we have power over them .We can decide whether to think positively or negatively because negativity doesnot bring positive results

I will present in the course of the next months a new paradigm of thought, one that is beyond the duality, poisitivve vs. negative.
Thanks for your kind feedback 🙂

I chose not to think about any problems anymore, because I chose not to create them in my mind at all. It’s all created in our mind, stress... is this the way I will consciously actualize enlightenment? But than, reality kicks in. Am I doing something wrong? Is my mind just limited?

your mind is indeed limited to perceive the expanded reality. And your way to overcome it, by not thinking, is a good one!

You are a great teacher for me @nomad-magus always motivating for life.

In my opinion There is something very extraordinary in man, the "Mind". In fact, everything that man does is the product of his mind. Whatever is desired, successful, rich, happy, it all depends on what he thinks, because everything starts from the mind. A word of wisdom says, "Today you are dependent on the mind that comes today.Tomorrow, you are determined by where the mind take you. " It is true, because everything we do must have its origin from our mind. It is the mind that drives every action and the impact of our deeds. In other words, the mind will have a synchronous effect. The mind like a locomotive, our actions are described as a car. Where the direction of the speed of the wagon is determined by the locomotive. Likewise what we do, whether good or bad depends on our mind, every day we are controlled by the mind, the mind is also an asset that belongs to a human being. The mind is also one of the determinants of a person's success or failure.

Indeed.
The mind has served humanity for a long time.
Change is imminent though.

I agree with you because Mind is also one of the determinants of a person's success or failure. Every day, people face more than 60,000 thoughts, and the only thing that takes a large amount of mind is direction. If the specified direction is negative, then about 60,000 thoughts will come out of memory in the negative direction. Conversely, if the direction is positive, then the same number of thoughts will also come out of the memory space in a positive direction

really awesome post. Thought provoking. I am on a a similar journey. similarly to many people who grow up less than wealthy, my biggest goal in life was to reach financial freedom and never lack through the restrictive life-track of high school-college-career pipeline but recently through many hardships and lessons I changed course through the revelations self reflection has revealed. Appreciate this post will definitely follow to keep updated on your work

the revelations self reflection has revealed

Changes that people make in life have always fascinated me.

The fact that we talk about there being a life secret is merely a reflection of the Human mind's overcomplicating, albeit wished-for in support of our Soul's thirsting for the experience of Separation.

One again, as long as we search for perfection we'll find nothing but imperfection. It is when we stop searching for Perfection that we realize that all is perfect already.

well said 👌🏽

Its time to take action of our everyday life. No more excuses, no more what ifs. Lets create the reality that we truly want for ourselves and not just the filler of a life to get by. We all want the every day life you don't need a vacation from. Its just one action step away. Make it happen for yourself and we as a community will be much happier as a whole.
