Who's In Charge?

Who's in charge of the Universe?

Who's in charge of my life?

I don't believe there's anyone out there dictating how things are going to transpire.

I have a friend who, when confronted by doubt -- hers or mine -- says, "Well, we know who's in charge." And when she says that I know she's referring to God or a higher power.

Even though I've usually just said, "Sure," it's never really felt right to me. It's caused me to ponder and ponder and ponder the question of who, exactly is in charge.

What I've come to realize is that who's in charge of me and my life is simply my collective consciousness in any one moment -- the sum total of the highest wisdom I've allowed into my consciousness blended with all my worldly thoughts and feelings. It's simply "WHAT IS" at any given moment.

And the same is true of collective consciousness. For instance in a job situation, the applicant hired will be the one who's consciousness is most in alignment with the consciousness of the interviewers.

And the same is true for the entire world and all the nations and their interactions. Who's in charge is the collective consciousness of everyone at each and every moment in time and space and it's always subject to instant change.

So what does this mean for me? It means that I need to be vigilant and mindful of what I'm allowing into my consciousness on a moment-by-moment basis, because the bottomline is that I'm in charge of my consciousness and my consciousness is in charge of me and my experiences.

I commit again for the millionth time to think and feel only positive, productive, prospering, loving thoughts.
