Sometimes it is virtually impossible for us to believe, and painfully challenging to accept, that we are that far away from our best life, our most perfect path for this lifetime.
As humans we have been born and conditioned into a society that measures everything by performance-based value. We believe we must earn everything... even love.
We believe that if we do "right" things that good things will happen to us.
And we believe that if "bad" things happen to us, we have done something wrong. And we believe this so strongly that many of us if not most, spend lifetimes trying to 1) figure out what we did wrong because no matter how hard we try we can't truly see that we've done anything wrong, and 2) we spend a lifetime trying to "compensate" for any mysterious thing we did wrong, or imagined things that we did wrong, or things that others said we did wrong.....
And it seems that the ones that suffer the most in this syndrome are those who are the most sincere.
This is how we end up so very very far away from where our best life is.
We think we deserve things. Or we think we fail and don't deserve things. We even think we have failed so miserably that we deserve bad things!
And the thing that keeps us trapped in this is that we believe that to NOT believe in this structure is absolute arrogance, denial, self-righteousness.
Yet many times the sincere among us often notice that these "bad" people - the arrogant, the blind and the self-righteous - seem to suffer very little. If they are so "bad" why don't bad things happen to them? Why do the wicked seem so blessed while the sincere seem to suffer one heartache after another...? Why do bad things happen to good people...!?
Doesn't it seem like something is backward?
If I told you the key to the mystery.... would you believe me...?
"So close you can't see it.... So simple you wouldn't believe it..."
NONE of us are worthy of the good things.
NONE of us deserve the bad things.
You see, its the system that is flawed - not us.
It is the perspective we have been conditioned to see from that is askew.
We all exist in the image of god. And all that means is that we are not victims of circumstance. We have the right and the ability to know where our path is and how to walk it.
We have free choice to be happy, content, angry, sad, eager, lazy....... We fail INSTANTLY when we buy into the performance-based value system! What if sincere people began to stop trying so hard to be good? What would they do instead!? Would they become evil?
Try it!
You are no longer being assessed based on how good you are. You deserve everything like a privileged child! What would you actually do differently? How "bad" would you behave?
Things happening in your life right now are the result of many things. The energy that fuels all these "things" or happenings, comes from inside you. Your mind, your thoughts, your heart, your soul, your actions and your reactions, your intentions....
Sometimes what we think and what we feel are not the same thing but we don't even realize it.
Sometimes what we feel and what our true deepest desire in our heart is do not match either, and we are not aware of this.
We assume much as well conditioned, well programmed human beings. And most of what we assume is based on thought patterns and NOT our true authentic soul self.
Thoughts and patterns lead us one way.
Heartfelt, soul intuition - our true inner sense - leads us another way.
Our "path" often involves a journey to learn the difference between these two "voices".
Our true inner sense is the seat of the eternal... Our god nature, intuition, our connection with the universe and all it contains. Which is what makes us "in the image of god" - all knowing, all seeing, all powerful.
Realizing this makes it quite obvious how thought patterns and conditioning have lead us so very far away from godhood! We certainly do NOT believe we know everything! If we did we wouldn't struggle so, right? Exactly. We wouldn't. So now you can see how far away you are from that. Separated from your godhood.
Peace, freedom, love, healing.... All these begin to manifest when we find the courage to let go of the programming! Stop believing that we have to be good enough... Stop believing we have to earn love or acceptance.... Stop fearing what will happen if we tell the truth and begin to do what we really feel inside...
Sometimes it is virtually impossible for us to believe, and painfully challenging to accept, that we are that far away from our best life, our most perfect path for this lifetime.
But we can never begin the journey home if we never consider it.
On your true path there is no condemnation. No ridicule. No deserving or failing. None.
Only love. Only a journey. No mandates. You are free to be happy, once you realize that happiness is a choice, not a set of perfect circumstances. Once you realize that life is not 'out there' but right here. Once you realize that you can honestly feel all your emotions and survive.... and become healthier in your body, mind and spirit when you do.
Once you realize that this great separation, this immense distance between where you are and where your true path lies.... is all in your head. Its nothing, but a belief. Stop believing it and it does not exist.
The obstacles in your life are there to guide you along your path. They are there to signal an old pattern in your mind that is controlling your actions. Once that pattern is recognized and released, it dissolves.
Sometimes even among the oldest, wisest, most experienced travelers, certain obstacles never dissolve in their lives. And these serve as permanent guide posts which serve to keep them from falling in....
