What can you learn from a shattered champagne flute?
I recently bought champagne flutes. Good crystal. Always wanted some. Broke the first one before I even had a chance to use it. Totally me being careless as I washed them.
Broke the second one today. I opened my cabinet and it fell out and shattered on the floor. Good crystal shatters to unrecognizable shards.
My first response was not conscious but reaction. I let out a one syllable word that rhymes with duck. I was more surprised than angry and that’s what came out. Hello. Still human.
While on my hands and knees vacuuming the mess, a new thought came to me about how the whole circumstance unfolded. I’m in the middle of painting my house and I moved the cabinet to paint behind it, then moved it back. Never bothered to check to see if anything inside shifted.
It did. Mystery solved.
Except that’s only the surface of what actually happened. The set-up to the outcome. My aha moment is that I realized the outcome was inevitable based on my choices leading up to it. My choices. The energy system doesn’t care whether I’m conscious of my choices. It ONLY responds to what I think, feel, and do.
Should I be mad at myself for not thinking to look before I opened the door? Should I be mad at the universe for working perfectly based on physics and my decisions?
People do both of these things. For days. Sometimes years. Is it wrong? No. Is it productive? Depends on what’s gained by the experience.
This is what the shattered glass taught me. Everything in life is co-created. We are active participants whether we’re aware of this or not. All outcomes are perfectly created based on what we’re thinking, feeling, and doing. There’s no point in judging or blaming anything or anyone. That robs you of your creative power. This is what the masters know and live.
Your power lies in the absolute knowing you are actively co-creating what you experience in your life whether you are consciously aware of this or not. Peace comes when you can accept this without judging it and then take an interest in what you’re thinking.
I’m not interested in victimhood. I am interested in being fully aware of what I’m creating. For me, here’s how that looks:
Flogging myself repeatedly for not checking if the contents shifted = victim.
Seeing the benefit of the circumstance and my part in it = creator.
Whining and complaining about something that can’t be changed = victim.
Staying present within the circumstance without dredging up the past = creator.
When you understand life is always for you, never happening to you and works absolutely perfectly, you begin to trust your highest self, the God essence beyond the finite mind of problems. You begin to see how you do move mountains of energy every second of every day and that’s the tool that creates your version of life.
The external world is a reflection of your internal world. I invite you to pay attention to how you’re showing up in your life—as a victim or creator?
And as always, I’m available for private sessions if you need deeper understanding, support, or guidance in the form of energy work or intuitive life coaching.
