What if it’s not about lessons, separation and undoing the ego?
What if we are already perfect, whole and complete?
What if it’s not about about forgiveness? Learning to forgive. Forgiving ourselves. Forgiving others. What if at our core, there is nothing to forgive because we are already perfect love?
What if it’s not about separation … a battle between our ego-self and our divine-self and a daily struggle to wrestle the ego to the ground to make way for our God-selves? What if it’s simply a matter of remembering who we truly are? Like waking up from a nightmare. The scary dream was never real, just a momentary drama from an unawakened mind. When we wake, we rise with joy, strength and power, because we remember who we truly are.
What if it’s not about lessons, but expression?
Try this on for size…
You are God.
Omnipresent.
The all of all.
You encompass everything.
In your beautiful oneness you create and expand everyday, creating more beauty, more love, more joy, more experiences. You are the master creator. The master expander. You take great joy in creating and you enjoy all of your creations. You are God after all. It is impossible for you to feel anything but sublime goodness.
One day, you wonder to yourself, “What would be like to experience myself …to have a relationship with myself?” You wonder this not because you are lonely, but simply because you are infinitely curious. And since you are God, the ultimate creator, the universe instantly responds, splitting a portion of you/God off into a million little Gods so you/God can have the joy of experiencing yourself. Now you/God can experience every single aspect of itself that it could ever imagine – love, joy, pain, hate, fear, despair, failure, triumph, shame, rebirth and a million things more.
What if it was all about the joy of experiencing … everything?
It wasn’t about lessons.
It wasn’t about forgiveness.
It wasn’t about karma.
It wasn’t about ego.
It wasn’t about separation.
It was only ever love. Supreme love, that loved itself so much it allowed itself to create and experience … everything.
In order to truly experience itself from a fresh perspective, it had to create a mechanism that would make itself forget itself. It wasn’t about separation. It was just a way for God to experience itself in a brand new way. All the little Gods were made to forget knowing they were God, which allowed God to have an aspect of itself be seemingly outside itself so it could experience itself anew.
Once God has had its fill of experiencing all of its aspects and all of its mini-God creations, then the deep sleep wears off. We wake up from the “dream” remembering who we truly are – that we are all God.
We wake up to sweet oneness.
We wake up to pure joy.
We wake up to immense love.
We wake up to our inherent power.
We wake up to bliss.
We wake up to who we truly are.
God the creator, in its infinite brilliance, created a homing device for the human form during its deep sleep so it could find its way back to its God-self. That homing device is our feelings. Feelings of love, joy, peace, and delight are our true North. If we’re feeling these emotions, it means we’re heading towards who we truly are. Feelings of pain, fear, lack, guilt, shame, and similar, mean we are moving off course or choosing experiences or beliefs that are taking us farther away from our true divine self.
So in every moment, simply make a choice and take an action that move you toward more joy.
Some days it may feel as if you’ve moved a million miles off course. The fear and pain are so loud and intense. But one tiny baby step towards joy is a giant leap towards God. So take one tiny step towards something that feels good and makes you smile, then take another step, and another, until one day you realize that you’ve moved so far away from lack and fear that all you feel is love. You are living in your God-zone. If we do this consistently enough, our human-self will harmonize with our God-self, and we’ll eventually “wake up” to our God-selves.
Exercise: Ask yourself, “What can I do to wring every ounce of joy out of today?” And, then go do it.
