I say some things in my blog that will make your ego freak out. This is one of those things. *Please don't even read this post if you're not a spiritual person. You will be incensed if you read it, and it will be complete gobbledy-gook nonsense. (Well, what I say here might piss you off if you're a spiritual person, too.) If your ego is in check, and you understand your infinity, please continue reading. 🙂
Now, I have immense compassion for people. I think being a human is extremely intense. I've definitely suffered a lot in life. People are literally tortured. Children are raped and abused. Shit happens that I can't even comprehend, and if I even try, I freak out. But even these inconceivably painful things to me I no longer see as "bad" as I transcend my ego, and I want to explain myself.
The mind only judges things as "bad" because it has a limited focus and thus a limited understanding. From a broad, universal perspective - if you were to see the world from the perspective of your limitless, infinite, true, higher self - you would immediately see that there is only love. "Bad" is a completely human created construct. Our egos are intensely focused on duality. In doing so, we pinch ourselves off from ultimate truth. "Bad" is only our story that we're creating here. From infinite perspective, everything is always happening for the highest good. We suffer only in our resistance to what happens - only because we label something as bad.
If you look back at your life, you can see this. Here are a couple from my own life:
When I was 15 my parents moved me to Naples, Florida. I hated it there. I didn't know how to handle it. My whole entire world was ripped out from under me. And I'm so glad. Without that, how would I have known that I'm not my school, my family, my town? Would I have lived a life of complacency in a boring small Illinois town?
In 2012 I was hit by a car while riding my bike. This accident paid for me to get Chiropractic care. It led me to Simon Senzon and Network Chiropractic, and healing and awakening on all levels of my being. It's leading me to my life purpose.
I know you have some of those, too.
Having this perspective has made me so much more effective in life, and has helped me embrace life and feel really truly alive. When my dad who I hadn't talked to for four and a half years' heart stopped for six minutes and then he came back to life, I was able to allow the pain and also appreciate the beauty of what was really going on here.
This post has been coming to life since that happened, and has been especially rolling around in my mind for these last few days. When I saw this post by about Pronoia
I knew it was time to get it out. That post adds another delicious level to this one, which proves beautifully what we're both saying here.
We're fucking infinite.
If you'll start to see your life as a little roller coaster ride from the perspective of infinity, you'll see that being betrayed by a person you love, being homeless, going hungry, being injured is like the scary dip that you take on a roller coaster. It's scary for a little blip in infinity. On an Infinity level, it's thrilling. And it leads to the birth of new amazing things. On a human level, we're completely engrossed in it, and suffering is all we know.
What if being a meth addict in this life is really, really cool from the perspective of your infinite self? I mean, your essence, your spirit is literally indestructible. What if being a bad dad because you're a meth addict is the life that the spirit who is your son signed up for and thought would be a bad-ass thrill ride?
What a fucking bad-ass your spirit must be to have signed up for such intensity!
It's ok that we feel pain when we lose people we love or are injured or are treated cruelly by people. It's part of this roller coaster ride. We can greatly limit our suffering if we've had that God Experience, which gives you all of this in an instant, wordless knowing. If we roll with life and allow our emotions in times of pain, we live. There's a nuanced balance with all this. There's allowing, being a conscious creator, allowing our emotions and allowing healing, and also not resisting.
If you're resisting everything in your life experience, and you're in complete pain and suffering, that's part of the greater good for all, too.
If you're totally engrossed in your story, and your story is all you know - well, that's pretty cool, isn't it? What if you could create a story and be completely absorbed in it, and that story was all you knew? Well, that's exactly what your infinite self did, and that's what you're doing here. * So cool!*
All is well. You're being always supported. And that's part of a mass web of the greater good for all others.
