We often feel unhappy that we are subject to the laws of the world. What if we aren’t? Wild we be glad if these laws weren’t for us? The laws we think we exist under in this world often seem to limit us, to imprison us. We feel stuck in our circumstances. We yearn to be free of them, but see no other way. So we go on and “live with it.” And we continue to be unhappy, dissatisfied, and alone.
What we don’t realize is that we have another choice! We don’t realize we have made up the world we see and all the “laws” we think govern it. What we see as limiting us is made up in our minds. It is a product of what we think about all we have experienced in our life. As each of us forms our own opinions and perceptions, we support each other in our various perceived realities. These are our best guesses at reality from a place where we don’t see with the clarity of Oneness, with the eyes of Spirit. When we use our separated minds to perceive our world, we perceive illusion. But when we allow the Vision of Spirit to show us reality, we see with all the wisdom of God.
We have pursued our specialness with vigor and determination. We have been so determined to define the world we live in that we have blocked every entry from intrusion and shut out every ray of light that could show us the Truth about ourselves. We are so involved in rationalizing our self-created idea of ourselves that we left no room for anyone else. We are so caught up in the maintaining of this illusion that we completely miss the beauty of ourselves that is already within us. We miss what God has created and continuously sees within us, the beauty and holiness of who we really are.
If we just relaxed and pursued another goal, another way of understanding ourselves, we would find it takes much less effort to see ourselves as God sees us. We spend so much effort disguising what we see in each other as something other than reality, we miss the reality of who we really arte shining back at us in each other. Isaiah said “My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” The way of God is filled with ease and grace. Each of us is a manifestation of God, complete in our Oneness and unity. It is Truth as God created us. We can be nothing other than God’s perfect creation. But the way we perceive ourselves and each other can obliterate our true nature from our awareness, leaving us to make up our own world. Let go of the way you see the world yourself and let Spirit show you the truth of who you really are. And if you can’t see it in yourself, see it in another, for another is joined with you in Oneness and will shine your true self back to you in all its holy glory. Just make the choice to see differently today.
