Awareness Article by Rhiannon Barkemeijer de Wit

 

I recently had a close encounter with someone’s fear based assumptions.  Being extremely empathic these energetic close encounters tend to be pretty intimate, and this experience brought the issue of assuming to the forefront of my awareness.

 

Being a voyager of self discovery, I tend to take these empathic experiences as opportunities to look within, to learn something that will help me to further remember my own Highest Truth.  Looking within I saw where even recently I had wandered into the space of fear and had briefly assumed the worst about several situations in my life.  My assumptions were unfounded, and entirely formed within the fear based illusions projected by the lower self.

 

Like an epic battle between Light and Dark - Truth and Fear, our Higher Enlightened Self is constantly shining the Light of our Highest Truth, slaying the fear based illusions projected by the lower self with the enlightened energy of Love.

 

As I contemplated the issue of assumptions, the Higher Self lovingly reminded me that our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, words and yes, also our assumptions, all provide energetic fuel that helps to shape and create what we will ultimately experience. Therefore what we choose to assume can actually create a self-prophesized experience.

 

When we are assuming the worst, we more than likely have stumbled into the illusionary world of fear and separateness. We may consciously or unconsciously perceive the world as being hostile and/or as not being supportive. We may have unconscious or conscious beliefs that we are unworthy or undeserving in some way. We may have unhealed energy from painful past experiences that readily provide a platform for the fearful perceptions of the lower self. Or we may have forgotten that we are One with an infinitely loving Divine Universal Source.

 

 

While these aspects and others may influence our perceptions and perhaps prompt us to assume the worst, the enlightened energy of Love is ever present and always available for us to heal and transcend fear based lower self assumptions and beliefs.

 

We are not hostages or slaves to the fear based perceptions projected by the lower self. Far from it! Our natural and true state of Being is that which is aligned with the energy of our Higher Enlightened Self.  There is always a choice and we are ultimately in command and responsible for what we choose, including how we choose to think, what we believe, and most certainly when we chose to assume.

 

Remembering too that assumptions are beliefs founded within fiction, merely a hypothesis or a theory.  To assume is to take something for granted without proof. We may then agree that whenever we assume something we are taking a risk and when we choose to act on our assumptions, that action may be considered especially risky business.

 

Risky or not, assumptions are often made.

 

I further contemplated, considering if my assumptions tended to be based in love or fear. Do my assumptions help to further empower me or do they lead me astray from my Truth and into the illusionary world of separateness?   I concluded that when I made assumptions, like that old familiar saying points out - it tended to get me into trouble.

 

With this realization I decided to be more aware, to be consciously present and personally responsible for my assumptions.  I decided if I was going to make assumptions, I would make a conscious choice to assume the best.

 

I know from personal experience that even when situations did not work out as I had originally wanted, that ultimately all had truly worked out for my greatest good.  Many times I could see after the fact that the Universe did indeed have my back, saving me from a situation that in all my wisdom I had thought was a good idea.  Sure, I too have had my share of painful experiences, yet in time I tend to realize that even those experiences have served some higher purpose. Many times my lower self was proved wrong, and things did work out beautifully despite any fears to the contrary. So why should I not assume the best!

 

Assume the Best! The awareness seems so simple, so obvious - why would we ever choose to assume the worst!!!

 

Within the polarity of Earth plane existence we are bound to bump into our lower self now and then. Perhaps that is appropriate and part of the intended physical life experience –as through this energy of polarity we are offered unique platforms with precious opportunities for personal growth and ascension.

 

We may be susceptible to stumbling into fear based assumptions when we are tired, hungry, and lonely.  When there has been too much work and not enough play, when we are ill or in any kind of pain and when we have unhealed energy from painful past experiences. When we have had a particularly challenging day and/or have had a trying experience and/or anytime when our resistance is low and our perceptions are already clouded. We may also find that we assume the worst due to learned behavior and/or out of habit.

 

Ever since I came to realize that the energy we project is a powerful force for manifesting our reality, I have become vigilant about keeping my energy aligned with that which I wish to create and experience.  Nevertheless, I, like most everyone, have moments when I stumble into the space of fear. However the more I practice being vigilant and responsible the quicker I realize when I am coming from a fear based perspective and then the quicker I can transcend that space for higher ground.

 

We can unlearn behaviors that we realize are not supporting our highest good.  We can break unhealthy habits, heal past pain and we can transcend negative practices and beliefs.

 

The loving, high vibration of our Higher Enlightened Self is always at hand ready and willing to help us transcend fear based energy. We are One with the Divine Universal Source and through this oneness we are always connected to our Highest Truth.

 

Even when we are in fear, Love is always present, holding space, shining the Light of our Highest Truth, beckoning us to Remember, beckoning us to return our conscious awareness to the space of Love.  As we Remember our Oneness with the Divine Universal Source, and as our conscious awareness resides within the space of Love, we are then naturally aligned with Faith and Trust. We are then able to perceive the world as it is, as safe, supportive, abundant, peaceful, loving and aligned with positive possibilities and infinite potential.

 

Remembering that we always have a choice, within this renewed awareness, if we are going to choose to make an assumption, let us then strive to assume the very best. Let us believe that the Universe does have our back and that despite any outer appearances and/or perceptions to the contrary, let us believe that all is truly transpiring for our Highest Good.

 

Let Us Assume the Best!
