Step 12: Knowing why you are here


<< Step 11: Knowing that there is no order of difficulty     How do I internalize what I have learnt? >>


Why would you build a house? To live in it, of course. Why would you buy a car? To drive it, of course. So, why do you think Spirit, The Source, created you? The answer is obvious, but your ego resists it. Spirit obviously created you to use you to experience its magnificence. It is such a simple yet powerful idea. You make things to use them. So does Spirit. Yet You are ultimately Spirit. You were created but you are one with the creator, The Source, not separate. Yet, as we saw in the explanation of ego, an illusion of separation had to be made up so that it can eventually be used for experiential purposes. And one of the things you were given is free will, just as The Source has free will, for you are in the exact same image and likeness (in essence, not in form). So you are free to choose to believe in the illusions or to use them for what they are and know they are illusions. When you let ego take over you as most people do, the illusions appear real, for this is all ego is, and you suffer. The world of ego is weak, changing, temporary, dark, fearful, powerless, and little. It is the opposite of Reality. When you choose Reality, you allow your Spirit to use your body as originally intended. You can imagine how powerful that becomes! Spirit is all knowing, all powerful, and in unison with everything. It is eternal and infinite. Spirit can never lack a thing, for it is the cause of all things, from the smallest thing to the largest galaxies. All arise from here. When your Spirit and not your ego is running the show, synchronicities and ‘coincidences’ are always happening to you and life works out amazingly in ways that defy the laws of the world of ego. The laws of time break and time is collapsed for you, because time, as Einstein and many other scientists have shown us, is not a reality – it is an illusion. Needs and scarcity drop. Fear and littleness drop. This is the world when experienced from the opposite of ego. Remember, the world resolves itself around your beliefs and thoughts, and because ego is bent on scarcity and fear, its world is as such. Its opposite is spirit. Right here, right now, you can change your belief system. Simply suspend your ego based thoughts and ask for your higher mind to bring you a replacement. Do not worry how this will come about, just know it will. And you will be surprised to find something new in there every day!

But you are not here alone. Everybody and everything else here in the universe is here for the same reason. We are all individuations of the same One. That is why you cannot attack another without feeling the attack yourself sometime later, because you are one. And that is why you cannot save yourself alone. Your success lies in the success of others. Your answers lie in others. The moment of Now carries all that Is, including all your cues and answers to your questions. Nothing else exists outside of Now, because nothing can Be anywhere else but Now (try being somewhere else like in the past or future – you can’t because the only time that really exists is eternity, Now). So be present, wake up! Know that everyone and everything around you is sent to you as an angel, they all have a gift for you if only you would accept. Everyone and everything around you shows you your past thoughts and beliefs, for they came about or were attracted by your past thoughts and beliefs. They are the experiences of what you held true before this moment. And through them, you learn yourself and are able to see what you would like to change. But you can only learn if you are willing to watch without judgment, to accept what is and see what it truly is and not what your mind tells you it is using its past egoistic frame of reference. Spirit speaks to you through intuition and through everything and everyone around you. So you must be present now, be out of mind most of the time, to move ahead. Because the ego knows this very well and is threatened by it, it strives to keep you unconscious of Now by filling your mind with thousands of useless thoughts all the time. Did you know that the average person has about 50,000 thoughts a day, 90% of which are repetitive, and many of which are ne gative and conflicting? That is noise, and it is dangerous because every single thought has an effect. And of course, the ego knows you have this power and so it uses it to maintain itself, but it would have you deny that you do because once you realize and accept that your thoughts do have such power, you shall drop ego knowing that it has been the main cause of your pain and negative experiences. So remember, be present and always know that only through your fellow beings can you succeed. To have something, show another how to have it and you shall learn and find it within you. It is so obvious but it escapes us so much because of ego’s influence. Consider this: would you be wealthier today if everyone else on this planet was wealthy, or would you be poorer? Of course, if everyone on earth was shown and given the opportunity to be wealthy, our individual wealth would multiply. But if everyone was poor, there would be no one to buy your products and so you would be poor. Or take happiness. Would you be happier if you cause everyone else around you to be happy, or would you be sadder? Of course, if you were surrounded by happy people, you would be happier than if you were surrounded by depressed people. It is so obvious but ego is the exact opposite of spirit so it makes you ally with its belief in the insane opposite. It believes in fear and scarcity, the illusions, instead of love and abundance, the Reality. Remember that you can never have both an illusion and a reality together – you can only see one. You choose which you wish to see, for you have free will. Reality will never force itself upon you uninvited, nor will illusions. Its your choice.
