The Planet Boggart

Clay sent me another note about some realizations he has had since his time in the group. Some of you might find it helpful in your own healing process.

In Harry Potter there is a chapter about ‘The Boggart in the wardrobe’. The Boggart is a magical creature which takes on what a person fears the most. For one student it was Professor Snape and another it was a Dementor. To counter the Boggart the student first had to realize that they were creating what they were seeing and then shout the spell ‘Riddikulus’ (ri-di-KYOO-lus) while pointing their wand at the creature.

It is my experience that we are powerful creators. We are consciousness. Our world is consciousness. We shape our reality into what we perceive both individually and co-creatively as a group. Source takes on whatever form we choose. As a result God can become whatever we perceive God to be. The reality we create will therefore appear to confirm our view of God.

In the ‘Buddha Field’ I accepted as fact a very particular idea of Source. In this case the view of reality was:

I am trapped on the wheel of karma and am here to transcend the world of duality to become enlightened. In order to do so I must destroy the ego which is in direct opposition to my divinity and I require a spiritual master to succeed.

For thousands of years many have agreed to this view of reality which has seemingly brought about an outer reflection in creation which appears to validate it in the same way the many different religions have their own views of God and can prove it. As a result many believe their view to be exclusively correct. The ‘Boggart in the wardrobe’ obliges and takes on whatever shape we give it and then we think that what we perceive is the only reality and the ‘Truth’ of the matter! I have discovered that the moment I take this path I have created division. In the act of thinking I have found the ultimate ‘Truth’ I end up creating the very separation I am attempting to heal! In my case this was compounded by the nature of the belief system I accepted as reality. As long as I believed I was stuck on a wheel of karma and had to overcome my ego to be free, my belief in my plight would create and shape a reality of perpetual separation.

When I left the community it took a while for me to dismantle the belief structure I had taken on as ‘Truth’. Since I have begun to take back my power, I am realizing that I am a powerful creator… we all are. Since my reality is my creation I am ultimately responsible for every aspect of my life. Am I going to react as a victim to my own creation or am I going to take full conscious responsibility for it? This has offered challenges. I have spent a lifetime responding to what appears to be, rather than truly acknowledging I am creating the very things I am responding to! One thing has become clear. Once I take responsibility I am no longer a victim to my own unconscious creation. I can now consciously create my reality into an outer expression of my hearts desire.

Consciousness is fluid, dynamic and expansive. It can exist in an infinite variety of expressions, many of which appear to contradict each other. In my reality none are right or wrong. When I begin to believe I have it figured out it is time to pull out my magic wand and shout ‘Riddikulus’. It is only in my heart I can rest in the infinite fluidity of God.
