Now even
with our fixation upon our problem areas, most of us still have
areas in our lives where we flow and manifest with more ease.
We all come into this life with different self-assignments for
growth that will lead us toward awareness. So it is that there
are infinite variations of personal reality. As our souls all
chose different life circumstances and challenges for this incarnation,
we all become conditioned by different arrays of negative prompters.
And at the same time, we also each have areas in which we feel
masterful. The thing is that we just take for granted those areas
where we are strong. It just seems to us that that's the way
life is, just as we sort of see limitations and struggles as
just part of the way life is as well. Of course that sense of
"seeming the way life is" is not really the way life
is, for the concept of "the way it is" implies fate
- that fate is reality. But as awakened seekers we know that
we aren't controlled by fate. We might wonder then what really
is at work in this phenomenon of high energy and confidence in
some areas of our lives but not in others.
Clearly,
in our "problem" areas, we have blocks; the person
in the grip of fear is blocked from seeing possibilities for
resolution, blocks that those who have flow in that particular
area don't have. This means that the answers are there but precisely
because we are blocked in a particular area, we can't see them.
For example, the person with money problems is unable to see
the opportunities to express her talents and to be fairly compensated
in return.
Learning
how to clear our blocks that we may realize the Infinite Power
within us is all just part of the grand scheme of the evolution
of the soul and the expansion of consciousness. It is a natural
part of the human experience with which we can all pretty much
identify or at least understand. And therefore this dilemma is
not to be scoffed at. Nor does it make any sense to complain,
resist or agonize over it. Rather, as light seekers, we want
to dissolve the blocks that stand in the way of our seeing the
light. The light symbolizes the Truth. We are, after all, seekers
of Truth. And the Truth is that we are Divine Infinite and Eternal
Beings. We know there is only One Mind, which being Infinite
pervades all, is all -- i.e., All That Is. That means that we
are nothing other than God. But having become incarnate, we have
lost contact with that Truth and have taken on the identity of
false beliefs that is ego. So understanding all of this, it makes
no sense to cast aspersions upon ourselves, or fellow seekers,
for our blocks.
When it
comes to the perennial subjects of who we are, what life is about
and how to be happy and fulfilled, my inclination in trying to
provide clarity, is always to hone it down to the essentials.
Succinctly and simply, what it comes down to is self-identity.
Are we going to identify with the conglomeration of the false
beliefs that are the ego, OR, are we going to transform and finally
begin to identify with our God-hood? Of course our purpose is
to rediscover the Truth of our Divine nature. As seekers, we
have begun the process of making the transition from our false
self to operating from the truth that we are all that God is.
Alas, mere knowledge of our Divinity is not the same as feeling
it and "knowing" it from within. Transformation does
not come from knowledge alone. Any fears and feelings of inadequacy
we may be holding stand in the way of our transformation.
