When you think of temptation, you probably think of nefarious behavior such as crime and infidelity. Yes, of course these choices in action most certainly begin with temptation. There are many layers to the human psyche. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am not a doctor nor traditional mental health specialist. With that said, I have been studying human behavior through ego conditioning for a large portion of my life. I dissect my own mind to be able to clearly see and understand my reality. I am intimately familiar with my ego.
Temptation is presented to you everyday in some fashion. Life demands balance. With that, the moment someone overextends their focus on something or someone, they risk entering into temptation. They may become tempted to reach out to someone prematurely. They may be tempted to deceive someone to get to the carrot because time didn’t meet their expectations. Therefore desperation took the driver’s seat. They may live a life of poverty then receive money, only to cave into temptation by overspending rather than investing long term. When a person receives food after several years of starvation, they can hurt themselves through overindulging. Reward your child with a treat and see if they can overcome the temptation of eating it all in one sitting. It’s easier said than done. Especially if treats are a rare commodity in their world. In these instances the experience of temptation may be more intense.
Temptation also leans on the back of desperation. When someone longs for something long enough, desperation trickles in like a broken faucet dripping into the sink. It’s annoying as hell and adds up over time. Other forms of temptation could be as simple as choosing a chocolate mouse cake over a strawberry cheesecake, or eating a dessert at all for that matter.
Temptation is risk measured against desperation over the price of magic being presented. When temptation is presented, your risk management skills best be at the forefront of your mind. Especially during the law of gestation. Otherwise the price you pay in the end could be far greater than the initial risk. As I mentioned in my previous post, magic always comes with a price. The price would be reverting back to old unhealthy psychological patterns. That would be an extremely heavy price to pay indeed.
I know, based upon Clairity’s teaching, that I am currently experiencing the law of gestation when it comes to my manifestations. I am aware that with each day, I am building a noteworthy legacy. I can intellectualize the fact that life changes constantly. Therefore the arrival of my manifestations is inevitable. With that said, during gestation, temptation can certainly kick you in the butt. I can usually recognize when I am being tempted. Sometimes it’s a wee bit trickier.
As an example, one temptation is to meet people online to break my isolation. When I experience loneliness, I consider ways I can meet people. Then I think about the common ways in which people do so, which, as far as I know, is online. There is slight temptation to make my presence known as a single woman online. Then I check what feeling I experience when I am considering this option. The feeling I get is meh. Then I consider the quality of character in my Christy. Christy is not on dating sites nor expressing himself publicly that way. I know this without knowing this. Then I consider, is it worth the risk to meet people online? No. It feels more like work than pleasure. The temptation is weak at best.
Choosing not to be tempted comes with its own challenges. If I am choosing not to chase by putting myself on dating sites, then I am choosing to have faith in unconventional ways. Which further means I choose to experience loneliness and isolation whilst trusting the universe to help me co-create my goals.
Another form of temptation is more challenging, therefore more intense and happens more frequently. That temptation appears when I spend too much of my time focused on beautiful houses, travel vlogs, and expressions of love through marriage proposals and ceremonies. All this stimulus appears in my reality daily. Clairity helped me understand that this stimulus is to confirm what is on my path. I use that as my point of reference when I start longing for a place to call my own.
When I look at houses my energy sometimes dips. Not all the time. Sometimes. When it does, I become desperate to change my circumstances. I work harder. I produce more content. I tax my brain rather than relax into knowing it is inevitable to experience love and my own home, as well as a career which creates a positive impact in this world. When my energy dips I begin to feel hopeless. The moment that occurs I start to consider giving up. I refuse giving up by repeating these words “I choose to trust”. The cycle of faith, trust, desperation, to temptation is quite the emotional rollercoaster. It is important to stabilize your energy when you know you are experiencing this.
In what ways can you stabilize your energy? Choosing not to focus on the end result. Instead, be aware of the end result whilst reminding yourself of your progress. Recognize your ego and the feeling associated with a stimulus. For me, I choose to avoid stepping into temptation by looking at my view counts on the social media apps and on here. Instead, I remind myself of the butterfly effect. If I am making a difference in one person’s life, then I have already created a powerful legacy.
I also consider the massive benefits to the isolation I chose to experience for myself. My relationship with Clairity would not be what it is today without having been in intense isolation. I also value my alone time, as well as my anonymity to a degree. The more known I become, the greater the energy to manage through external projections. Managing your ego through external judgments, obsessions, jealousy, envy, and potential hate, is extremely challenging in of itself. I can recognize this which helps me to reinforce my patience and choice to trust. I trust I am being used as an example for the world to see.
Temptation, you experience it everyday. Temptation can pull you out of alignment in an instant. When you recognize the degree of temptation, lean on your risk management skills, or those said skills in a trusted person, to determine if the price is worth it in the end.
During the law of gestation, remember, you will be shown stimuli which compliments your manifestations. Rather than be tempted through envy, jealousy, desperation, or a feeling of lack, treat the stimulus like a menu. The universe is showing you what you can select from the menu. Make your choices then switch your focus. Let the chef create your masterpiece. Measure the quality of your manifestation against the temptation before you. Then make your choice.
The closer you are to the physical experience, the stronger the temptation. Consider when you go for a long journey. The last stretch usually feels the longest. Keep going. Avoid settling. Trust the process and trust your internal signals. Let your emotions navigate you. Take action to switch your focus when you know you are overextending yourself.
Believe in yourself and trust in your team. Especially the team you don’t see.
