What if the human “experiment” is actually a Divinely orchestrated quantum leap of evolution where a creature on earth will not only become more consciously aware, but will realize that it IS Infinite Consciousness?
We are innately beautiful, loving and whole. We are self-effulgent, the very source of Joy and Light. It is our birthright and destiny to live as purely Loving beings, naturally flowing with the Oneness of the Universe. No matter how things may appear, we are being carried to that Realization in the caring arms of a Higher Intelligence. Yet, how can this be true when there is so much that seems contrary to these proclamations of Truth? If Love and Wholeness is closer than our own breath – which it is, since it is the very nature of who we are, then why is it not always clearly apparent . . . or even remotely apparent?
Through eons of programming, we now take mental images – the thoughts and imaginations in our head, to be more real than Life itself. We have now come to cherish these beliefs, stories, judgements, positions, definitions, and convictions more than the Divine. And when I say “Divine,” I simply mean the Power and Intelligence of the Universe – the actual Life Force.
How can we begin to see and live this Truth – that we are perfect expressions of Love and that the Real World is perfectly Loving of us? Since this Perfect Love is inherent to Life, inherent to all that is, and therefore inherent to who and what we really are, gaining anything more or trying to transform ourselves or the world will not bring to light that revelation. What needs to happen is a dismantling, or a seeing through, of the obscuring illusion. This occurs through a clear seeing of the false as false. Not “false” as opposed to “true,” but false in that we recognize what doesn’t really exist except as mental concepts.
There are many ways of beginning this process of Liberation; of seeing the unreal as unreal. I will share specific ways of exposing the lies of the ego – the source of ALL suffering, in future editions of My Indigo Sun. However, for this article, I would like to share a taste of the ultimate. And that ultimate Truth is that no matter what we think or believe, no matter what we do or don’t do, we are in fact being carried, caressed and cajoled by a Higher Love. The very fact that planet earth and we as human beings exist at all is due to an evolutionary force and intelligence that can be called Love, and this Love is far beyond our limited perception and understanding, and far beyond anything we are able to do. Everything that is happening is occurring through that same evolutionary Love and Intelligence.
What would life be like if the Energy of Life, and its inherent Care and Intelligence, were more real to us than our ideas, judgments and images of ourselves and the world? What if that Energy is naturally and unstoppably bringing each and every one of us to an Awakening of an entirely different Reality which is unimaginably beautiful and Loving? What if even (or especially!) our most painful experiences and arduous challenges fall under that overarching Love and Care which is bringing us to that Awakening as efficiently and graciously as possible? What if the human “experiment” is actually a Divinely orchestrated quantum leap of evolution where a creature on earth will not only become more consciously aware, but will realize that it IS Infinite Consciousness? What if that is humanity’s destiny – to be the Infinite awake to itself in a finite form? If so, then all that matters is surrendering our stories so that we may open to a Life that is doing its best to infuse us with a Love beyond measure.
