Our True Spiritual Identity
To some degree our
identity is influenced by the personalities of the people we associate with intimately,
socially, and professionally, those we are in relationship with. At one point in
my life I did not comprehend how much influence those I associate with affect
my personality and overall life style. When I was in Jr. High School my mother
said the following to me; you should be careful who you pick as your friends and
hang out with, because the things your friends say and do will affect how you
see yourself and eventually how you will act. My mother was the very first person
to tell me about being guilty by association. I disregarded what she said and
responded like this; who my friends are and what they do will not change who I
am because I will always be me no matter what. I was in error to some degree when
I made that statement; now I can see that my degree of error was actually major.
When we are needy; especially when it comes to having a relationship with
another person, similar to a small tree in a heavy wind storm, we get tossed to
and fro by the intensity of the wind. The same thing can happen with our
identity, which affects how we act and how we react to our life experiences day
in and day out throughout this existing lifetime.
I now clearly see
why it is almost impossible for someone to constantly associate with those who
believe that life is unfair, and have a hopeful and productive life that is
full of opportunity, positive experiences, and love. How do we start to create
the life we want? The first step in creating the life that we want is as
follows, knowing what the life we want looks like and knowing that it is
attainable. Then we must truly believe that we are worthy to have such a life
ourselves. Next we must start to associate with people that are on the way to
living that life as well as those who are already in possession of that
lifestyle. It is much harder to step out of poverty when one has no reference
to what it is like to live a life of abundance. Just as it is hard to step out
of an abusive relationship when the only reference of relationships is people
who have been in, and are in abusive relationships. We must learn the lesson of
surrounding ourselves with that which we seek and need. We cannot physically
jump into a pool of mud and expect to remain spotless. It is exactly the same
when it comes to who we are. We cannot associate with mean, hateful, and angry
people, and believe that we will be kind, loving, caring, and balanced
individuals. Since we are the authors of our reality, we are the creators of
our surrounding worlds; we must pick the best quality materials to work with.
Substandard building supplies can only build a substandard building. Our
identity is of the utmost importance as we sojourn through this dense physical
realm. No one has to have a less than desirable lifestyle and existence because
love and prosperity is our true eternal nature.
We must stop
associating with people who are doing that which is contrary to our true
nature. In reality, what they are doing is contrary to their true nature as
well. We must stop looking for direction outside of our spiritual selves.
Because within our spirit is the dwelling place of pure unadulterated truth and
wisdom. The truth and wisdom I am speaking of originates from within Great
Spirit, the Creator of all things known and unknown. There is no greater
knowing and wisdom to be found. Does it make any sense at all to look to
someone who is searching just like we are for the answers to life? It makes no
sense whatsoever to do so. Do not be fooled by the seemingly insightfulness and
wisdom of those who lord themselves over others, and try to control the masses;
because when you look at them and they are not on their stage of deception, you
will see that they are in search of the truth just like everyone else. I heard
one so-called spiritual leader profess that he knew all things; he also said
that there was not a single question that he did not have the answer to. It is
very easy to answer every question asked of you; the only problem with that is
this, the accuracy of every answer. No one has all of the answers, because if
someone did have all of the answers there would be no need for them to be here
on this physical plane in physical form. We are here to consciously evolve into
the eternal spiritual beings that we are and have always been. We are also here
to learn the awesome power that we all possess and how to use that power.
Nonetheless, if we are looking to others to teach us that, we will never learn
it. We do not start school to have another child teach us what we are there to
learn. How can your peer teach you how to write, read, add, and subtract when
they do not know how to do those things themselves. It is exactly the same when
it comes down to the school of life. We cannot look to fellow students to teach
us that which we need to remember and learn, because we all are extremely
limited due to the underlying reality that our consciousness has been taunted
by our limited human intellect, and our limited human understanding; because we
stopped exclusively looking within as we should always do for the spiritual
direction we need to live a good successful life here on Earth Mother. Our
Master Teacher is none other than Universal Intelligence the Goddess/God
energy force within our spirit.
The human race as a
whole is critically out of balance. To understand that all one has to do is
look at what most humans call entertainment and what most humans do for
enjoyment. In the not so distant past what is now being done for entertainment
and enjoyment would be defined as ignorance, wickedness, and pure insanity. Have
the definitions of that which is ignorant, wicked, and insane changed? Of
course the definitions have not changed one iota. The human race must get back
on track, and that must happen soon; because the path the human race has chosen
has almost reach the point of no return, the cliff of total destruction. We
must choose to turn from our wicked ways before drastic circumstances arise
that will force us to change. Mark my words, change will take place; the
question concerning that change is as follows. Will the change that is
inevitable entail transformation in our lives, or transition from this
lifetime? You see, when we are resistant to that which we should be doing,
circumstances automatically arise that leaves us no choice but to take charge
and do something, that is of course if we do not want things to get worse. We
can create the space of balance, oneness, harmony, health, and love and benefit
from this physical experience as it is designed for us to; or we can continue
to travel the self-created path of darkness and discord.
There is a light at
the end of the dark tunnel. I am not talking about the tunnel that we travel to
get to the other side; I am speaking of the tunnel of our self-imposed trials
and tribulations. We can live a harmonious life here on this physical plane. A
harmonious life is not a life that is minus challenges; it is not a life where
everything goes our way. A harmonious life is a life where we know that
everything works together for the ultimate good of the whole. A harmonious life
is a life where we maintain peace in the midst of the storm. As long as we are
in physical form we will experience ups, downs, and duality in some shape and
form. However, all of that is designed to stimulate and motivate us to expand
and grow stronger. Do you know that within adversity we will find the greatest
opportunity? However, the only way we will find it is to look in the right
place for it. In order for us to find buried treasure we must dig deep into the
earth. It is exactly the same when it comes to us and discovering that which is
truly valuable to us. We must dig deep within our spirits to find the buried
treasure that has eternally been available to us and a part of us. Humanity has
been like a wealthy person who has a mansion who has dementia, and that person
has become homeless because they do not remember that they own millions and
much more material possessions.
We have always been
a part of that which is perfect in nature due to our sacred spiritual
omniscience. That being our divine reality simply means that we are lacking in
absolutely nothing. It does not matter how things may look or seem to be all
around us. That brings to mind and old saying; you can’t believe your lying
eyes. Because we are spiritual beings, we must start to once again exclusively
rely on our spiritual discernment, which is our flawless inner spiritual
wisdom. When I was a teenager one of the popular sayings was; you can’t go
wrong with the stuff I’m working with; literally that is true concerning this
topic. There is not a time in any of our lives when we can say; I didn’t know
what I was doing was wrong. We know the answer to every problem; we simply are too
lazy to do the work that will avail us of that knowing. Such laziness is a guarantee
of hardship in our lives. Our hardships in life are mostly unnecessary chosen
experiences. We must align our actions with Our True Spiritual Identity.
