What an experience is life in the world. What a diversion from the True Reality. What a contradiction the world is. How predisposed you are to contradictions, which are, ultimately, opposites. You have a mixed-up relationship with life in the world. You are rampantly pro and con. You judge the world mercilessly, and you are attached to the world just the same.
One day you were born to Earth. “What on Earth for?” you may wonder now. “Why am I here, and what am I meant to do while I am here?”
Endless are the possibilities, and there seem to be no secure niches for you much of the time. There may be more than one actuality. I have said before that you don’t have to know what it is. You will get there. Some recognize. Some do not. Nevertheless, you will fulfill what you set out to do. You are the fulfiller of it.
That you are on Earth is greater than a mystery. You love a mystery, yet life may seem more like a dilemma that you find yourself in. You may feel that, in life, you are picked up by a big hand and placed in an arbitrary place with arbitrary people who have the say over you. You can’t wait to grow up and have some say over yourself, yet you still don’t feel much jurisdiction over yourself. You have to earn a living. You have to live somewhere. There are obstacles underfoot, and you crave so much more.
Life may seem to be more about craving than having. Life may seem to be more about paying bills than giving. You may find life more suffering than joy. You really are suspicious of life. A common theme is: “What is then life? Why me? Why here? Why now? What am I doing here? How long do I have to stay here?”
And yet you don’t want this life to end. You do, and you don’t. Pretty much you hesitate about an end to yourself.
The good news is that you do live forever. Presently, you are human being. You are always Being. You can never die. Only physical bodies die.
You, however, are a Shining Star who shines throughout Eternity. You are the Apple of My Eye. I look into you, and I see Myself. Would that you would look to Me and see yourself. Yes, it is all about what you see and what you don’t see. My eyesight is good.
Now, what shall We do about you who suffer in the world and have too much abstinence from joy? Just a tiny change in your vision will make all the difference in the world. Sometimes you walk with your eyes closed as if in a stupor, and you don’t go forward.
You’ve got to know that your life is worth living. Yes, yours. This is paramount. Who would want to live a life not worth living? Dear One, you gotta boost your own spirits. If you are on a decline, then you’ve got to incline yourself to a different angle. One tiny inclination can turn your world upside down, or, rather, right side up.
Take Me with you. Consciously, take Me with you. Say:
“C’mon, God. Let’s get somewhere today. Come with me, and We will make great strides. No longer will I sit still and stay confined. Come with me, and I will show You all the treasures that You have bequeathed to me. You will see me take off in a new direction. On Your behalf, God, I lift my spirits. For You, I will love this day and make it lovable and worth loving. I set my sights higher. I look out a taller window because, God, You are with me. All I have to do is to stay with You.”
