We use our God given creative power to make up – miscreate – our separate identity using the split mind we made up. This idea is our ego. It is not real, because it is separate from and not created by God. But because we believe it is real it blocks us from the awareness of who we really are, One with and an inseparable part of God – Spirit. Because we are One with God and created in God’s image – an extension of God – we have all God is, yet we have blocked our awareness of who we really are and all we have by believing in this ego or separate identity we have miscreated. This identity we have made up sometimes seems askew, or inadequate, lacking in many ways, but we have given it – a mistaken idea – autonomy to guide us. And so it tries to explain any situation or experience it doesn’t know what to do with. It looks at past experiences and tries to apply them to the situation, and tries to make decisions without the full benefit of the whole picture. Is it any wonder we struggle with all this confusion?
We also make up egos for all those we encounter in this would. Yes, we each make up our own identity and ego, but we also make up identities and egos for each of our friends, family members, teachers, students, coworkers, and eve the person we see walking down the other side of the street. Guess what?! The identities we make up of others doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the identities those others have made up for themselves. Nor does the identity they made up for us resemble the one we made up for ourselves. Sound confusing? Confusing barely touches the surface of the thought chaos all this separated thinking makes. It’s probably a blessing none of it is really real. It’s all in our thoughts. It all stems from a world of illusion we have made up in our individually separate minds. My perception of who you are is very different from your perception of who you are, and yours of mine. And each of our perceptions of another are very different even when we seem to agree.
How do we resolve all this differing perception? It comes down to our willingness to allow Spirit to show us a “new” thought system, a different way to see everything, one perception at a time. We have never left the Mind of God and have never actually separated from God. We have just built up barriers to our awareness of our Unity and Oneness with God, each other, and all of Creation. We lost the awareness of our completeness, peacefulness, abundance, and power that are within us at all times and places waiting for us to realize they are there. Spirit will guide us in the proper use of all of this. Spirit will guide us in each and every one of our relationships and teach us through them if we will simply allow Sprit to do so. Each encounter is a relationship to be learned from. Each encounter is an opportunity to allow ourselves to see each other and ourselves differently and return to the awareness of who we really are. We can begin right now, this very moment by thinking “I can see this differently.” It is never too late or too soon. Right now is the perfect time to decide to decide with Spirit’s guidance. Take a moment to take that small step of willingness to change your thinking and let it be guided by Source. What a difference it will make.
