Sifting and Sorting: An important part of reality creation
To recap, the cornerstones of reality creation and being a co-creator are:
Your beliefs about yourself and the construct we live in
The thoughts you think and the ideas you form mentally
Feeling emotions that are congruent with the reality you want to construct
Performing a small action to set the momentum of your new reality in motion
It’s this final one where sifting and sorting comes in.
Abraham, as channeled by Esther Hicks, talks about the reality we’re creating and storing in our Vortex. By this, they mean we’re collapsing the field of probable realities into those that are most appealing to us.
They also tell us that when we know what we don’t want, then we know what we do want. I think there’s some confusion around this. I have definitely felt confused by this, because for the longest time I could tell you what I didn’t want, but I had no idea what I wanted instead. It’s not as simple as if you don’t want one thing, that means you want its opposite. There’s not always an opposite to something. If you don’t want ice-cream, then that doesn’t mean you know what you want instead.
However, knowing what you don’t want helps collapse the probability field in the direction of what you do want. But only if you apply the action of sifting and sorting.
What is sifting and sorting? Most of us apply this when we sift and sort through our belongings, perhaps in our wardrobe, deciding what we want to keep and what we want to throw away or donate. It is the act of saying yes to some things, and no to others. We don’t just say yes, we purposefully take the action of holding onto the thing we say yes to. We return the object to our wardrobe and we interact with the object again at some point in the future. Similarly, we don’t just say no to another object. We purposefully remove the object from our space and our energy by either throwing it away or giving it away.
When you sift and sort through what is entering your life energetically, the same thing applies. What you say yes to, what you keep around in your reality, the universe will bring more of and match. What you say no to, the universe will recognise as you saying ‘this is not an energetic match to what I am creating’.
It’s the saying no that we have to get better at. At first, you will see that the universe keeps sending you energetic matches that you have already said no to. That’s why we keep experiencing the same patterns over and over again. You find yourself dating the same energetic bad match that you already broke up with years ago, now in a different avatar. You find yourself living out the same experience at work, in a new job, after saying no to the same dynamic at your old job.
It’s not a test. It’s just energy. You already have so much momentum around this energetic match that you no longer want, that you have to say no a few times to get into the stream of energy that truly matches your new choices and reality creation. You don’t just jump into a new energy stream. You merge into it. Just like when you’re driving on a large highway and you’re navigating to go in a different direction. You don’t jump onto a new highway. You merge lanes and line yourself up to take an exit and then enter onto the next highway, going in the direction you want to go.
Saying no to what you don’t want, consistently and with commitment, and turning your attention continuously to what you do want, is an important way that your avatar in this 3D reality can change the direction and momentum of energy to in turn experience an entirely different reality. One yes or no at a time.
