In order to manifest a life dream, a person must incorporate in a balanced way the intelligence that is held in all aspects of consciousness, the mental, emotional, physical and higher self aspects and honour the needs of every aspect as the dream unfolds.  He or she must use the powers and functions of their right brain (Sky) and left brain  (Earth) aspects in a creative dance that includes each form of intelligence.

This is not easy because of the usual creative personality imbalance that exists in most people. Here the problem is described as it affects Sky and Earth types. Some (though not all) of the typical characteristics of each have been underlined.

Skywalker

Sky types come to grief with their dreams because, although they have strong intuitive and abstract mental capacities their relationship skills and ability to support the whole balance of their lives is weak.

Suppose a physically active Skywalker wishes to enjoy the freedom he believes will become self-employed in the house cleaning business. From a mental perspective this appeals to him because he had discovered that the demand for house cleaners is growing and he can command a good income. In this case, he has a fairly common Skywalker characteristic: he is good at working with systems. He knows he will not be daunted by the physical work that may be necessary until he can employ his own cleaning staff. All these reasons and motivations seem sensible and acceptable from a mental perspective.

He develops a business plan and discovers he must take certain practical actions to comply with legal and financial requirements, borrow some money, find and train his employees. There are many practical actions he needs to take but he is not concerned because, of course, he is a good organiser and accepts mentally the need to take them.

All is going well in that the Skywalker mental capacity and (in this case) the physical self are supporting success.

However, unbeknownst to him, our would-be house-cleaning tycoon has a number of hidden fears and emotional limitations. Emotionally he is impatient with people and he soon finds finicky house owners very exhausting. He handles conflict badly and when it inevitably occurs in his business he will decide that the customer is wrong and blame their personal attitudes. He then loses his temper and loses customers, or he withdraws so that no one can reach him by phone or email! He tends, like many of his Sky friends, to be a spendthrift and finds holding to budgets irritating.

It does not take much imagination to see what trouble his business will get into – and probably fairly early. His emotional incapacities do not align with the rather uncreative nature of the work he must do with people. His negative ego is not going to mention this problem to him: it is banking on the fact that his father told him he was irresponsible with money and it is telling him to ignore his fears and the reality of his ever-growing overdraft and prove his father wrong by ungrounded 'positive thinking' or by relying on the Universe to get him out of his troubles. He becomes more and more obsessed by his problems and, in this anxiety, can never relax or stop thinking about his business. His family begins to suffer severely but he is quite unaware of that.

What is worse is this guy is not choosing this business because his greatest creative potential lies in that direction but because quite unconsciously he thinks he will gain the power he desires such “regular” work. His higher self has not been consulted because he is does not want to learn that he is emotionally unsuited, but it knows that he would be much happier and richer investing in his joy as a golfer and in using his creative capacity to design a better golf buggy.

Earthdweller
In the case of an Earthdweller house-cleaner (who will have an emotional desire to keep everyone happy) the reasons for failure to expand the business will be different. She likes to be of service but will physically and emotionally exhaust herself trying to keep all customers and staff, however unreasonable, happy. Such a person will avoid mentally accepting the objective fact that some people are never satisfied. Instead the Earth house cleaner will take all complaints personally and try even harder. She will not set boundaries. It is true that the business will lumber on owing to persistence and self-control but it will never be a joy. Spiritual intuition will be hard to come by and the joy of unique self expression that  the higher self wants for her will elude him. She will not give up the work because of fear of losing what meagre security she has.

As you can guess, these hypothetical (and not necessarily perfect) examples are a common reality. Dreams turn to nightmares and life happiness eludes us simply because we do not address the issue of our own imbalances by owning and then resolving them. To learn the methods that improve inner balance through reprogramming the brain daily take very little time. You might like to ask yourself why you would avoid exploring that possibility - and maybe do the Releasing resistance and procrastination visualization in Free Trial  to move you forward.
