The Teachings of Joshua
A New Appr oach t o Life
Channeled by Gar y Temple Bodley
Your current approach to life is one where you
strive to control your conditions in order to avoid
negative emotion. This approach is based on two
premises; that negative emotion is something to
be avoided and that you have the power to control
your outer reality. Both premises are false. You
need not ever avoid negative emotion for your
emotions are part of your built-in guidance system
and you cannot control your outer conditions. This
approach to life is resistant and ineffective. We
wish to teach you about a new approach to life.
There is an approach to life that works in harmony
with certain universal laws and the mechanism of
physical reality. This new approach will allow you
to create the life you truly desire (but perhaps not
the life you think you want). In order to create
your reality in a way that aligns with universal
laws and what you truly want, there are some
things you must understand first.
You are a magnificent and limitless being of pure
positive love and acceptance. That?s who you
really are and also who everyone else really is.
This is a basic fact that you must come to accept
before you can engage the powers of the universe.
Who you are being is a limited version of this. You
are limited by fear. Mostly it is the fear of
encountering negative emotion. This fear causes
you to attract urges to change the conditions.
Without this basic understanding of the
mechanism of attraction, you are obliged to
control your conditions. In order to allow the
conditions to be as they are,
you must accept first that the conditions are never
wrong. In fact, nothing is ever wrong, it is always
right.
Your limited perspective, caused by fear, creates
the illusion that something is wrong. However,
from the higher, broader perspective, nothing is
ever wrong or bad. It is actually neutral. Your
judgment, which is often based in fear, causes you
to perceive certain aspects of yourself, your life,
the people in your life, and the world around you
as wrong and bad. This is the illusion created by a
limited perspective derived from fear. The truth is
that nothing is ever wrong. It is always right.
If you approach life as if some things are wrong,
you will sink into lower vibrational states of being
and feel negative emotion. You will assume that
the subject that causes negative emotion is bad
and wrong and so you seek to control those
