Is the Universe “Testing” You?

When we talk about the Universe “testing” us, it can conjure up this image of some cosmic bureaucracy, like a boardroom of mid-level spiritual managers reviewing our progress reports.

​

“Alright, Amanda says she’s done dating emotionally unavailable men. Do we believe her? Or should we throw one more curveball her way, just to be sure?”

​

But…I don’t think the Universe works like that.

​

I don’t think it’s testing us in a judgmental, prove-yourself kind of way.
I think it’s simply mirroring our current vibration.
It’s not a test. It’s a reflection.

​

This is where the Law of Attraction comes in.
We might consciously say, “I’m done with those patterns” but if our subconscious is still running the energy of those dynamics, the outer world will continue to reflect that back to us.

​

It’s not because we’re failing.
It’s because the frequency hasn’t fully shifted yet.

​

Another way to say this is: We repeat what we don’t repair.

​

So when something shows up again after you thought you were done with it, it doesn’t mean you’re being punished or tested, it likely just means that some small part of you is still holding onto the old pattern.

​

Not out of sabotage.
But out of protection.
Because it’s what felt familiar. Or safe. Or true… until now.

​

And here’s the empowering part:
Once you stop seeing it as a test, you can meet it with curiosity instead of pressure.

You can ask:

• What part of me still believes this dynamic is normal or deserved?

• What belief or wound is being reflected back for healing?

• What energy am I actually putting out right now?​

​​

That’s not a test.
That’s a gift.
A mirror.
An invitation to shift your frequency at the root.

​

Because once your energy truly changes…so does everything else.
