You may be asking, what if the blueprint is not followed?  Well that depends on what exactly happens in the possible misreading or refusal to follow the blueprint.  Someone could decide not to follow the blueprint and “do what they want to do.”  Something similar to that happened when my parents had a new home built in 1969.  They worked with an architect and got the blueprints exactly like they wanted; even down to the type of materials that would be used in each area of their new home.  One day my dad came home very upset.  When my mother asked him what was wrong, he stated that the construction workers were not following the specific instructions. 

I was only in the 7th grade, so I don’t really remember the entire conversation, but I do remember my dad saying they were “cutting corners.”  To him that meant they were using materials that “didn’t cost as much” and they were attempting to get things done in a very quick way; sort of throwing things together.  The bottom line was that he was not happy with the way the blueprint was showing up in the material world.  So he immediately called the Contractor, who was a friend of our family.  I remember my dad and Mr. Cooper sat for quite some time discussing what the final outcome would be.  In the end, my dad got the house of his dreams, AND - he had to stand firm and be extremely willful because some of the materials that were already in place had to be taken out and new ones had to be put in their place.   It meant literally “tearing down what had been created in the material” and going back to the blueprint. 

I know what you are thinking.  Those people just got fired!  And the contractor lost business and money and time.  And his stress made him sick, and, and…..  Have you ever known someone who may have created a life like that?  I believe I have even created one of those before, that literally had to be torn down and recreated because it was such a mess.  At the time, I blamed others for that world that I seemed to “find myself in.”  Now I am able to step back and see how old beliefs about myself and what I believed about others and the world drew me right into the middle of that chaotic lifestyle.   

We each create many blueprints in our minds of the lives we desire to live.  Most of us create in our minds lives of love, joy, peace and abundance and then when we actually begin building in the real world, we cut corners, and we fall back on old beliefs that cause us to “throw things together.”  Ultimately we do not create the desires of our hearts.  Join us on Sunday when we share conversations about Awareness.   How do we become aware?  Look at our lives and we can begin to see where we might want to work on our beliefs or possibly create a new blueprint or even tear down a few things and rebuilt.
