You Are Here…

      In this vast universe and grand adventure we call life, we only have a relatively short time to understand our true purpose here and our relationship to these things that seem to be outside of ourselves. In truth, unless we actively seek to understand ourselves and the world around us, we may leave here without ever finding the answers we are looking for. Or will we?

       Things appear to be separate because our consciousness does not seem to touch anything beyond this structure we call our body. Our consciousness remains in this structure until we enter a dream state or some other visionary state. In our waking state, it is our inner voice that reigns supreme inside of our own mind that is the king and ruler of our conscience. As Shakespeare stated, “Consciousness is King”. Even our actions are compelled to follow the commands of this inner ruler and, most of the time, unwittingly.

     We can hardly deny that the things we focus on, tend to be given life and a position of importance as we stay focused on them for any extended period of time. There is always truth found in “What we think about, we bring about.” Well, we think to ourselves, that ‘we cannot deny that’.

The apostle Paul asks a question: “… do you not realize about yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you?”

2 Corinthians 13:5

     Start to be aware of the seeds that you are planting or are allowing to grow within this furtile ground that we call “mind”. We should have no problem seeing what Plato was referring to as the cave, where we see shadows or symbols of something more real.  This “mind” is also referred to as “Golgotha” or a “Tomb” in the most famous book on our planet. It is referring to the place where the Christ, or Son of God, the Messiah, was buried. This is Your true self or sense of awareness and in the act of awakening. Hopefully, one does not need to be “religious” to see this connection.

These ideas that are referring to this King, that sleeps within us, as is also alluded to, in the book, ‘Alice In Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll. “This is the King, and what do you suppose he is dreaming?” “Why, he is dreaming of you!”

We may start to see in this mystery before us, as to what our own true identity is! As long as you deny your own awareness, your own “I Am” that is He, the Lord or the King in which is alluded to, you will die as a human and you will be missing out on the greatest gift that is this potential in you. You are One with the Creator already but, in a dream state where you have forgotten your true identity and have not yet recognized you are “He” of which the bible speaks, which is a spiritual book and not a carnal history, and certainly not as a literal work. It is filled with parables. When you invoke in you, with the words, “I am” you are affirming with the truth, your own convictions of what it is you believe about yourself. It is your imagination that is to be associated with this being of power that is usually best used to improve your well being and those you love, which should be everyone since there is no real distinction between awareness.

Dreaming You Are Awake

Once we see and stop denying the potential in us, we are actually in the act of really awakening. Awakening to what though? I am still referring to the power of God. The one creative power that is beyond the physical structure of the body, is to us, as water is to fish, we are in and of this grand and personal source of all. I can say with authority that once you see this power in action, you will know that you are connected to all that is and  you are much more than just a physical body. This body in which you are housed, is only a reflection of what has passed. The thoughts you have had, the food you have eaten, the things you have done, are all impressed upon the body you wear. This body is referenced as your “household” or “cross to bare” that you must take up daily after waking each day and following wherever your thoughts lead you. It is, how ever you choose to see it and evidently able to provide us with experiences. In fact it is continuously allowing us to experience our choices. Whether we are aware of our participation in this regard, makes no difference. Hence the saying, “God is not mocked”. It is you that knows what you are thinking and those thoughts have baggage attached to them. Sometimes desirable and then the alternative if we do not monitor and direct them in a golden rule kind of way.

We are afraid to lose the body we wear because we do not really know, nor understand, that we are so much more than just these fleshly garments. We identify as being the vehicle instead of it’s driving force. We deny that privilege and give it to an unknown God outside of ourselves. If you are truly honest with yourself you have thought that, and you cannot possibly deny it. There is no shame in that, because this is what we are led to believe based on the evidence of appearances and rarely does one hear an incarnate voice from within to confirm there is anything other then our own sense of presence . Should you hear “other voices”, … Well, best keep that to yourself.

These outward appearances are the figurative “stones” thrown at us as the facts of this “reality” and why someone who hears voices in his head, needs to be treated. This is the very reason why we think that a human, with all their flaws, cannot be equal with what is believed to be the most, or even the only, powerful and good “Being” that no one has ever seen… That is, except for the Son, the hope of mankind. That is, until you, as an individual, experience this birthing from out of the tomb. Then there will be no doubt or even a belief, because you will know that you and the Father are One. This is not meant figuratively. The mystery will be revealed IN you. Then You will truly be awake to your true identity. Your consciousness will be transformed in “the twinkling of an eye”. You will still have a body but, you will know and you will no longer just be speculating. You will understand that there is a lot more to life than what appears in this dimension, because you are a multi-dimensional and protean Being. Your true essence has access to infinite possibilities to experience as states of being.

The Heroes Story

As “consciousness” is who we truly are, it would help to know how it operates in order for us to move past our self imposed limitations. It is requisite to make a few simple choices. Are you willing to use your imagination? Are you open to the idea that, it is an empowering and important part of the awareness that you are?

Even without abandonning your previously engrained beliefs, one should be able to answer those two questions. That is, you can answer in the affirmative without doubting the truth of your beliefs. Whatever you may believe, at this point you can still remain as you would like. The dreamer can still be dreaming.

There are too many talented people to name that inspire us with art, music, stories in written word, audio, cinema, plays and even graphic novels, more popularly known as Comic books. The scientist, philosophers, and even those that give their efforts every day to improve the lives of everyone around this world. I am speaking of all of us. No one is excluded and everyone that ever breathed on this earth has made it what it is. From the ancient to the contemporary it has always been important to share our stories.

Gene Roddenberry had a grand and wonderful imagination that he used to see an advanced age of humanity. We call it science fiction today but we fail to see that it was an end vision that was worth believing it into reality. His vision was a world that used it’s technology to expand understanding and the minds of mankind and his work is still inspiring people, even today.

Who is to say that Elon Musk is not the beginning of that story? We can make whatever future we wish to, if we believe we can. I challenge everyone to believe in the imagination that is within them to see a brighter future. If you are honest with yourself, you do this often but without the needed convictions. If you think or believe contrary to your ideal, then you are sending out a cancelling wave out behind that ideal. You may think , “well, it is a nice idea.” Implying that you already gave up on a hope for better. You may fail to realize the importance of what I was pointing out earlier, about what we see outwardly. That it is a record of our past. By no means is it a record of our future unless you fail to love your ideal enough to pursue it with the conviction that you will.

We can have a radical change in our thinking just by accepting that we can see a better outcome. You do not have to know how to get there, the people around you will give their energy and experience to a better cause if we can articulate the value of such an endeavor so that they will want to be a part of that movement.

The thinking of the past, is not written in stone in the imagination as it is outwardly. When one thought they could run a mile in under four minutes and showed that it could be done, people all over began to break that limit. This is the self imposed limitations that hold us back because we believed it was not possible. Imagine what you could do if you believed in the greater power in you. It is what others call miraculous.

Ordinary people with not so ordinary convictions help mankind as a whole and often have been taken advantage of. I am not going to ask if you believe this to be so. I am going to say that it is futility to think of the problem. I am going to ask everyone to know, that in the core of their being, we are better than that. We can do better, and we have.

Your first Miracle

Mankind has the technology, but do we have the conviction in ourselves to make these ideas our own and carry them into tomorrow?  To give our attention to them and count them as worthy of our time. To give these words on a page expression in your life? In a sense, it is your own miracle that you have already performed. You have turned the water of your thoughts and gave them life in yourself through your imagination and acted upon them and turned those thought into wine. You have inspired others to act and to make this world a better place. You have done all these things and more. Can you recall having done so? You are the hero of your story because there is only your own awareness speaking to you right now through these words. You are the one giving them life already.

If you are still sceptical about the use of your imagination, why not try to prove me right? Because nobody can prove a negative or prove that I am wrong. Just because something has not happened before, does not rule it out as a possibility. We are not as wise as we think we are if we do not understand that we need our convictions for something to be true in our lives. It is the belief about ourselves that will always manifest outwardly. Whether you believe you can or you can’t, it’s your choice and you will prove yourself correct, either way. You can not do otherwise. Your idea is a seed and it will grow into the truth that it is. It can do nothing else but express that which it is. This is as the mustard seed or any other seed, it never gives that which it is not, and the size of the seed does not matter. When we know for ourselves… I can only be that which I believe “I am”.

No one can boast that they are better than another.  It is all of us together that are planning and creating our future. Leaders are the ones that enbody the ideals and are only trying to be the example for others. They encourage others to be the best version of themselves. Best to do it actively, imaginatively, and lovingly so that the results will be more closer to our true ideals… Which is truly bringing heaven to our earthly dimension. Know that you should not modify your ideals to be something less (Do not take away from the ideal) . Do not think that you or someone else is undeserving (Do not add limitations to your ideal). You, and everyone, is a child of the most high. This is who you are. Imagine it and claim it as truth, until that which was wished for, comes to pass. This is giving life to this projection, in our own image. As, it is being done.
