It resonates Bill! We (and by we I mean the students like us in search of development at the consciousness level) many times get muddled between what we wish it would happen and the accuracy of the messages received through the different channels we use to interchange information. Those messages having to through us get distorted many times and we interpret them the way we wish events should occur and not what the messages are really is trying to tell us. In other words, we deceive ourselves (and done many times already by looking at the track record of failed events anticipated to take place in this 3d world).
Not that anyone here is doing this, but my feeling is that if we allow "Other Selves" (i.e., someone "outside" us--whether it's a world leader, someone with psychic gifts, or a system like Clif's) to decide the future for us, we begin losing sight of and relinquishing our own Power as Creators. Whenever I see an event, or a prediction, or another potential future outcome, I try to use it as an opportunity to let Source/Universe know what my "vote" is...whether or not I intend to give my power to that kind of result.
Up until recently, most of my votes have been "not on my timeline" or "that's not what I intend to create". Lately, however, I've been making a lot more votes of "thank you!" and "yes, more of that please!"
At the end of the day, the best practice for me has been to keep my "eye on the prize" and just let Source/Universe figure out the particulars as to how to actually get there. I try to keep my focus on creating/supporting/navigating to a future where the ultimate outcome is for the
highest benefit of all--and I'm very happy to see more and more shifts toward that future every day!
