Seeing new opportunities vs. cultural expectations

Question: On the fifth level of Saint Germain’s initiations of freedom, the lesson is invoking the vision of how I co-create. The invocation says I was brought up to take on certain things from my family, from my surroundings, from my society. There are certain things where it is not that I deliberately consider them impossible, I just do not consider them possible. I do not even think about them as being possible. And the people around me do not think about this as being a possibility. I am sure that many of us, even after studying this lesson, are not considering many of the opportunities that could be available to us. Could Saint Germain expand on this and give us some tips to open ourselves to opportunities that we may currently be blocking?

Well, obviously, you can study the lesson again and again, you can give the invocation, and wait until something clicks in your mind. But you can also, of course, take a look at your family background, your society – what were the expectations that people had? What was the image they had or what was considered a normal and acceptable life in your family and culture? What are the other people in your family doing or not doing? What do they think is impossible for you?

For example, you may have grown up in a family where everybody has been used to going out and finding a job, and where hardly anyone has started their own business or gotten a higher education. There will then be an almost unconscious expectation that “this is what we do in our family. We do not start a business. We do not get an education, we just go out and find a job or whatever is available in our area”. You may also have an expectation or a culture, in many cases, where “we do not move from our hometown. This is our town, this is where we were born. This is where our whole family has lived their whole lives. This is where all the people we know and care about are. We cannot possibly move from this town, let alone move from the country”. You can begin to identify these, perhaps even write them down and then it is not that you deliberately need to go against them but you need to shift your mind so you become neutral. Should you necessarily follow what your family has been doing or should you do something different?

If this messenger had followed what his family was doing, he would not have moved to the United States. Therefore, he would not have had the accelerated growth he had there, and he would not have become ready to be a messenger for us. It can be necessary for you when you are a spiritual person who has a divine plan to do something different than what your family is doing. But you should not decide this with your outer mind. You should work with your outer mind to overcome these expectations and these images of how you are supposed to live. Go into a neutral state of mind, and then wait for direction to come from within or perhaps a physical opportunity opens up that your family would not have taken, but then you can take it and see where it leads you.
