Some people will tell you that the height of spiritual mastery is demonstrated by being able to create the life you want. You declare a thing, image, or hold a thought until it becomes fully expressed in your life. That is certainly a worthy way station along the path - one most of us aspire to. However being a totally effective life-creator is one of the early stages developed to perfection. Many will approach their spirituality with this as their ultimate goal. Many will spend their whole lives perfecting this skill. And there is nothing wrong with that. However, there are higher lessons than simply learning how to change things in this particular possiblility that we find ourselves serving in - and change them to our liking. If you are happy with simply learning co-creation and you define that as getting what you want, then read no further in today's blog.
I've said over and over, "Humility is the door into all the higher spiritual experiences", and especially Divine Power. The further one goes the humbler one becomes. While others declare that you simply don't have enough faith to "have your way with life", you realize that you are not this personality, that this world is but one of billions & billions of possibilities, that everything you see is passing away, and a deep sense of personal unimportance, even the unimportance of this earthlife sweeps over you. Life as we see it is an expression and those expressions you are trying so hard to mold to your liking don't really matter terribly much. We start the path declaring that "I can do anything!" and you can. However, thru the door of humility that leads to higher realms, we realize how meaningless it is to declare like a spoiled child that I must always have things my way. This person I think I am, is not real anyway. It's one particular possibility and it's what's behind expression that matters.
When reality as we have known it is torn by this glimpse into the great beyond, it leaves one lost - If it doesn't matter what am I doing here? The key is that it does matter to God, though it doesn't matter in the way your personality has assumed it does. And in the higher realms, you belong wholly to God. We will declare "I only want to serve God's purposes. So get me out of this mundane earthly experiences. I long for the life of Spirit." But this also falls short. Life asked us to play this role. Who are we to declare that it is unimportant to God. If we have truly surrendered our life to God, then we can certainly play any part in the "play" on any possibility that God has put in front of us. Nothing is more spiritual than what life has assigned you. Remember the story of the spiritual master who claimed, "Before enlightenment, I chopped wood and carried water. After enlightenment, I chop wood and carry water."
However if there is an assignment that we are given it is to Love the life that we are expressing right now. We show our greatest dedication to God by loving our life as we are living it now - the parts that are to our liking & the parts that aren't. Once you realize that your personality desires don't matter, you are willing to love whatever role in this particular little possibility that you are assigned, you don't need to make a demonstration to prove your spirituality or to make yourself happy.
Suddenly you realize that you don't need to "spiritually lean" on your world to be happy (to change things to your liking). But now since you don't need to change things, you don't need NOT to change things either. As long as you love life the way it is, you are allowed to transform it as you will. There is no right or wrong. There is no better or worse. There is simply choice. And maybe we CHOOSE abundance, healing, loving relationships, etc. We become gardeners of life. In the end we've come full circle and are powerful co-creators of our world, but for very different reasons.
Those who never left the level of co-creation, look at us and agree that we have finally gotten our lives together and learned how to make a demonstration. And we look at our lives and say "I love my life! The demonstations are entirely beside the point. They are merely choices - either of which is God- and therefore wonderful."
