I Give Myself Permission, I Don’t Ask for It - Daily Rant #28
Who do you ask for permission? Who decides what you can become or have? In a dream, the answer is "you." If this reality is a dream world, a simulation - the answer si the same.
INTRODUCTION
Dear reader, this is my daily rant, meant for myself and not for you. It’s random, unfiltered and messy. My reality is not your reality. I write these thoughts with the intention to process ideas better myself and mold my mind to my liking, and, with it my world. I share them with you in the hope they may be useful to you in some way. If you’re here, there’s a reason for it.
They have helped me beyond words to find inner peace, connect with the all, improve my relationships, remove mental blocks, heal, and alter my reality in more ways than you could possibly imagine.
My perspective will be different than yours, and that is okay. If you find some ideas interesting and useful, play with them. Build upon them. Ignore and leave out the rest. I would encourage you to make a daily habit of writing such rants according to your perspective, ideas, beliefs, desires, and personality.
Good luck, though you don’t need it.
I am the all
I am the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. There is no one else but me. I am everything and everyone. Nothing outside me is real. This thing I experience as outside reality is a dream, an illusion, a mental projection, a simulation. It all originates from me. No one and nothing outside me has any power over me. It is and always was all my doing. I just didn’t know it, but now I do.
I don’t ask anyone’s permission
Since this is all just my mind pushed out, a projection, a dream, who would I ask for permission other than myself? I created this world. I control this world because this world isn’t real. It’s not material. It’s not external. It’s just an illusion of the mind. Knowing this, I am free.
No force outside me governs my life and the world around me. There is no external god that is not a part of me. I am the infinite one. I am the all, and all is me. We are one. When I ask for something I’m asking myself. The part of me that projects this reality. The part of me that I don’t have direct access to, the subconscious mind.
I do not ask for permission. I’m the one who gives to me. I do not ask for guidance from an outside force but from my higher self. I am the giver, the receiver, and the gift. There is no one and nothing outside me.
It’s all an illusion, a dream
When I dream, everything seems separate and “not me,” the people, events, animals, nature, but I know it’s all a lie - an illusion. It feels like I’m the victim and helpless, but it’s a lie! When I dream, I am the one making it all happen. I decide who they are and what they are like. I determine what happens to me and to everyone in my dream. It feels real. It looks real. It smells real. But it’s not real! It’s an illusion of the mind. While dreaming, I am never aware that I’m dreaming. I only know it when I wake up. This so-called reality is no different.
I determine my worth
No one and nothing outside me determines my worth. I do. In this dream world, I am the only one determining my worth. For the longest time, I wasn’t aware of that. I asked outside forces and other people to determine my worth. I was a fool. I allowed my growing-up brainwashing to influence how I perceive my worth. No more! I’m done being that blind idiot.
Since there is no one else to determine my worth and decide what belongs to me other than me - I chose to believe that I deserve it all! Everything. I deserve the best and only the best for me. Nothing less than the best will do. I’m done believing in illusions. No more! It’s time to take control of this game. I am in control. I am in power. Not directly, but through my subconscious mind.
Never again will I let anyone else determine what is right for me
Those “others” were just my mind being. Silly beliefs I picked up along the way. The simulation plays on autopilot, but it’s time I take the wheel. I’m done being told what to do, who I am, and what the right path for me is. No more!
This is all just some sort of a mind game I’m playing, which is fine. But now, it’s time to play deliberately and my way. From this day forth, I demand all that is mine, all that belongs to me, to come to me with haste! It comes in a perfect way for the benefit of all. Now, not tomorrow, not in a year - now! All that belongs to me in this dream world now comes to me. I am surprised by the speed and efficiency of this manifestation. It works like magic, yet feels so natural and logical when looking back.
I am the giver, the gift, and the receiver
I choose only the best gifts for myself and everyone else in my world. I am a generous giver and a gracious receiver. I give, and I receive. The more I give myself, the more I give everyone else. When I am happy, everyone else is happy. When I do good, everyone benefits. When I am well, the world is well. We are all one. What is true for one is true for all. There is no separation. That’s an illusion. I am one with the whole universe, and the universe is one with me.
There are no limitations in a dream world
By very definition, a dream can have no limitations. Though the world in a dream seems real and material, bound by natural laws such as gravity, it’s really not - is it? In a dream, anything is possible. We can make ourselves into millionaires with a thought alone. We can choose to fly. We can walk on water and heal the sick. We can even talk to the dead.
Nothing is impossible in a dream, and therefore, nothing is impossible in this dream world I call a reality
Since I’m the one in control, through my subconscious mind, I give it instructions about everything. My beliefs form the rules of the game. My ideas are always manifested as truths. My feelings are magnified and projected outward. Since I’m the one at the cause of it all, everything that appears to be separate from me merely reflects my inner world. I see this pattern everywhere.
I may not understand every little detail about this simulation, but I do know it’s not a real, material, separate world. If it were, my mind wouldn’t be able to influence it one bit, but I know it does. I experience it all the time. What I see in my mind, I see in my world. What I believe keeps reaffirming itself in my life but not in the lives of others. What I fear most keeps happening to me. It doesn’t happen to others. What I am grateful for keeps multiplying. I see these patterns everywhere.
When I see someone say something to me in my imagination, and they repeat it word for word in the so-called reality, I realize I’m still living in my mind. All of it is just an illusion. And that’s fine. It’s a lovely illusion.
I do not fight this realization; I play with the idea
I stop taking things so seriously and relax. I don’t fear anything anymore as I know nothing exists outside me, so I’m just afraid of myself. That’s just nonsense. Understanding that my mind and my feelings determine my life experience, I play with it. I experiment. I affirm. I visualize. I imagine my life as I would like it to be. I build the image of who I want to be. I keep reprograming my subconscious mind until it produces the world I like. I test this worldview every day. It’s a game world, a dream, an illusion, a simulation - it’s meant to be played and experimented with.
I find peace and hope in this realization
If this world is just an illusion, a dream, a simulation, there is a good chance I will one day wake up completely. Perhaps there is another life after this one. Maybe I’ll get to see the people I miss. Perhaps I wake up in the real world, free from the illusion, and laugh at all the pointless worrying as I took a game so bloody seriously. Perhaps death is not the end but a return to the real world. I can find peace in that and free myself from the ultimate fear - the fear of death. And with it, all other fears disappear as well. I am now free, and it feels good!
Anything is possible in a dream
Anything is possible. I can be free of all my fears. It’s all in the mind, anyway. Change my mind, change my life. There is nothing to fear. I feel the relief of this realization.
Anything is possible. I can have all I want to have. I’m the one who makes it happen or not—no one else. I’m the one who gives myself permission to receive it all. I’m the one who, with my beliefs, determines what is and what is not possible. So why not believe that everything is possible? What is the downside to being an optimist?
Since nothing is real, neither am I
Which means that this body isn’t real. It’s a mental construct. Like in a dream, I am in control of what it looks and feels like. I choose to be healthy, beautiful, and strong. If I live in a simulation, I might as well make myself a fun character to play with. This understanding helps me release all fears, blocks, and imagined qualities of my body. It’s no more real than anything else in this dream world.
I see myself as translucent.
I can see through me. I can see the code behind the illusion. I am mostly emptiness, with some elemental particles spinning around. I look at my body and see the vast universe reflected in it. It’s all the same thing. It's all the same illusion. All made of the same stuff - mind stuff. Nothing is material. Nothing is separate. Nothing is permanent. Nothing is damaged. Nothing is imperfect. Nothing is problematic.
I build myself a new body in my mind
Who am I without those mental limitations I’ve picked up? Who am I without this body in general? If you take away the body - what is left? Who am I behind the mind? If I can observe my mind, and it runs its little games, projections, and illusions without my say-so, who am I? What is behind the mind? Is it possible that I am not my body, nor am I my mind? What am I beyond this illusion, dream, simulation?
If this is all an illusion of the mind, a dream world, a simulation - who am I?
