Illusion

The purpose of life is to find happiness and peace. We find this by understanding who we are and that all the problems that are weighing us down are just an illusion of the ego mind (our emotional self). Enjoy today and smile at all you meet.
What is illusion? Illusion is when something appears real but it isn’t. For example when a magician does tricks and yet it appears real to us. How do they do it?

We live illusion in our life. We think everything we have ever done in this life is real, but is it? Can you touch your past? We say we can because we talk about it, we imagine it and feel the emotion of that experience, but can you hold it in your hands, is it solid, no? We can never go back and touch and re-live that experience, we can in our thoughts and in our emotions, but not physically reliving the experience. Is that then not like the magician, saying its real, but it isn’t.
When we understand the concept of illusion, it helps us to let go of past emotions. Emotions are created from that experience and we must allow ourselves to have new emotions for each experience we have. How exciting to be able to create a new emotion for each new experience. The emotion that I experienced years ago was created by a different me. Now I am more aware of how I process life and I can make different choices and choose to feel different. I call it allowing your emotions to grow up just as as we age and mature in our physical bodies. From all of my experiences of life and the processing of those experiences I am a different Jenny to the Jenny I was in my teens, my 20’s, 30’s and 40’s and now in my 50’s.

At a younger age I didn’t feel strong enough to defend myself and to not let people say or do things that I didn’t like. Now I can have my opinion and say no or walk away if I don’t like a particular experience.

What freedom that gives me, to feel empowered to be in charge of my own destiny. I can choose peace and happiness. I can choose the people I associate with. I can choose what path I will take in the future or in any moment. I am free, are YOU? Come and be free with me and enjoy each moment of each day.
