Living In Magic

Everything in life is about my relationship with something else. Whatever my sense of ‘I’ is, it is relating to the other. It is always ‘I’ and ‘the other’ – never just ‘the other’ without relationship to ‘me’. If our sense of Self is based on lower levels of consciousness then the world and God are perceived likewise. If ‘I am a sinner’ is my identity, then my relationship to God is based on fear and unworthiness; God is a punishing creator and the world is a cruel and sinful place.

On the contrary, if my sense of ‘I’ is a being of wonder, spiritual, pure, and innocent, a lovable, beautiful being – then my relationship to God, myself and the world is viewed likewise. God is beautiful, lovable and magical – and the world is my playground.

Everything depends upon this inner self image, the fundamental sense of ‘me’. Who am I? What is my starting position? What is the foundation of YOUR life that is the endless backdrop and reference to every single event and relationship you have ever had throughout your entire life and even in your dreams?

Think about it.

Most of us have accepted a lower sense of self based on relentless social and media bombardments. From this conditioning, we are limited ‘individuals’ in a dejected world who need to live up to endless social and media pressure and conform to fantasy images and social norms that are dysfunctional and impossible to attain. We are therefore permanently not good enough – unless we are deluded enough to believe we have temporarily attained a position within the house of cards which then gives us a sense of false pride, only to be destroyed with the slightest breeze of life, and result in anger, disappointment and other negative, self-defeating emotions.

God cannot truly be loved or trusted, because from the lower states, He/She is of the same frugal nature as the rest. This is typified by the endless scriptural accounts of an angry, vengeful, punishing personality of God based on human emotions and concerns.

Whatever is our core sense of self IS our sense of the world and God.

So, the question is: What sense of self would lead us to experience freedom from limitations and lead us to deeper happiness, love, peace and eternal satisfaction?

How can we transcend these levels of consciousness and therefore perceive an new REALITY around us?

The first thing is to consider that the ‘world’ and the character commonly known as ‘me’ or ‘I’ – is NOT me, nor has it anything whatsoever to do with me, not even slightly. This may come across as a somewhat radical idea – yet it is necessary to free ourselves from the claws of guilt and limitation that bind us ’til death.

Let it all go. Whatever happened in your life, whatever is happening in your life, whatever that person did to others, whatever others did to him/her had NOTHING whatsoever to do with you and is a meaningless as a 5 minute cartoon show playing on a television 5000 miles away in an abandoned house with no one in sight to even hear it.

Take this degree of un-involvement. Let go of this relentless and permanent addiction to a movie that remains what it is regardless of your attachment or non attachment to it.

Let it go… release yourself from the primary bondage that holds you in constant limitation. Expand your horizons. Let the real world of unlimited reality arise from the depth of your soul, your real self. Allow the consciousness you are to manifest and reveal itself fully as your attention goes beyond time, space and concepts, beyond a flimsy meaningless identity based on TV commercials and open the door of wonderment, eternal grace and infinite love.

It is here that we find the Real God, the One who remains permanently beyond all limitation and label based perceptions. The infinite One, who is constant, unchanging and completely free of all judgement.

To know God is to know yourself. The Self is Equal to God.

The real God is the Ocean of Love, the Ocean of Peace, the Divine One who cannot help but dissolve the walls of all that is less than love. Outside time, outside words, outside of place. Constant, eternal, limitless.

Know yourself as the same and you will see the world at last. Wake up to a new reality and that old world is lost to you.
