Does your energy create your reality?
You may believe
that
your energy creates your reality.
You can look at it this way,
and that’s great if it works for you,
but I see reality from a different angle.
In my perception,
nothing is either created or destroyed.
All simply is, as potential,
which either comes to you or it doesn’t.
You’re either drawn to it or you aren’t.
Reality is made only in the sense
that it has ALWAYS been made.
I do not make my reality,
but I am open to all potential —
including the potential
in which it seems as though
I create my own reality
with my own energy.
In actuality,
I do not own or control anything.
It only seems that way.
My soul knows this,
but oftentimes my self forgets.
Because it is fun to do so.

Exploring the Interplay Between Energy, Perception, and Reality
We delve into the profound inquiry of whether our energy creates our reality, or if reality is a pre-existing tapestry of potentials to which we are inherently drawn. This exploration transcends the conventional understanding of creation and destruction, embracing a perspective where all simply exists in a state of potentiality.
The Notion of Reality as a Constant
From one perspective, reality is not something that is actively created or destroyed; it is a constant. It exists as a myriad of potentials, unfolding and revealing themselves to us. In this view, we do not actively create our reality; instead, we open ourselves to the infinite possibilities that already exist. We become participants in a dance with the universe, where our role is not of creators but of experiencers and perceivers.
The Illusion of Control and Ownership
In this realm of thought, the notion of ownership or control becomes an illusion. The idea that we own our experiences or control our destinies is a construct of our conscious minds, a playful indulgence in the game of life. In actuality, we are part of a greater whole, where every possibility already exists, and our journey is about aligning with these potentials.
The Soul’s Understanding vs. The Self’s Playfulness
Our soul, in its infinite wisdom, understands this concept of pre-existing potential and our role as part of a larger cosmic play. However, our ‘self’ – the ego, the conscious mind – often forgets this truth. It indulges in the illusion of creation and control, not out of ignorance, but for the sheer joy and playfulness of the experience. This dichotomy between the soul’s knowledge and the self’s playfulness is a fundamental aspect of our human experience.
Reality as an Eternal Fabric
In the view that reality has always been made and continues to unfold in its predetermined way, we see ourselves as explorers navigating an eternal fabric of existence. Every choice, every thought, every moment is an interaction with this fabric, revealing parts of it to us, but not necessarily creating it anew.
Openness to All Potentialities
Embracing this perspective means being open to all potentialities, including those where it appears that we are creating our reality with our energy. This openness is not a surrender of power, but an acknowledgment of the vastness and intricacy of the universe in which we exist.
We Are Space Monkey
In this contemplation, we recognize that while it may seem we create our reality with our energy, we are, in fact, aligning with pre-existing potentials within the cosmic fabric. This understanding does not diminish our experience but enriches it, as we embrace the full spectrum of possibilities available to us.
Summary
We explore the concept of whether our energy creates our reality or if we are aligning with pre-existing potentials. This journey leads us to understand that reality may not be something we actively create, but an eternal fabric of potentialities to which we open ourselves, a dance with the universe where our soul knows the truth, and our self indulges in the playfulness of perception.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the cosmic dance of existence, we glide,
Through potentialities, far and wide.
Our souls whisper truths, our egos play,
In this universe, where night meets day.
We embrace the illusion, in joy, in strife,
In the wondrous journey, we call life.
With open hearts, to the cosmos, we bow,
In the eternal now, where potentials allow.
We invite reflections on this perspective of reality as a constant, where our role is not to create but to align with the potentialities that the universe unfurls before us.
