godI ran into a friend from college yesterday while at the grocery store and we stood in the produce section and talked for about 30 minutes about her life over the past couple of years. As I stood there listening to her I felt this profound sense of compassion for this woman while, at the same time, remembering why she was not someone I chose to stay in contact with. For 30 minutes we talked about everything that has gone wrong in her life as of late and she explained to me that she has started taking anti-depressants as a means of helping her to cope with all of the bad things and all of the bad people in her life and all of the bad things they have done, and are continuing to do to her. Sadly, she has convinced herself that she is God's personal whipping post (her words...I swear) and that life and this planet are just some huge cosmic joke with no purpose other than being a means of entertainment for God.
I remembered that I had not really wanted to stay in contact with her simply because, as she was speaking, I remembered that contact with her is generally just like this. She has always been a victim. Sadly, this is not a new mind set for her. She lives her life as a victim because she hunts for reasons and excuses and examples that prove her soul deep, ingrained belief to be true. I felt so much compassion for this woman who has been given the gift of getting to come here to fulfill her higher-purpose, to discover her higher-self and share that with others. To get to know that little piece of God that is inside of us all. To live life as though the God in all things matters.
Her life has simply shown her the experiences that she has asked for. She believes herself to be a victim, therefore she attracts people and situations to herself that reinforce that feeling for her and allow her to stay stuck in the mire. This absolves her of all responsibility, proves her right, and, as I learned as she went on with her story, has become a convenient excuse to never have to finish anything because, if an excuse to quite is what you are looking for that excuse will present itself. It has to. It would defy universal law for it to not. The Universe/God will give you whatever you ask for, completely without judgement, because there is no other choice. In a world where you can have anythng you want simply by asking, believing and continuing to choose the same thing over and over again, why would anyone choose victimhood? It is beyond me...but I do not have the right to judge her choice. I just can't imagine ever having any fun under those circumstances.
Imagine going into a restaurant and ordering chicken but, before it comes you decide you want beef instead and then maybe fish and so on. If you keep changing the order your dinner will never be served. We attract by remaining constant and repel by indecision. This is not to say that you should never change your mind or choose differently, you absolutely should if that change serves your highest good. Just know that sending the chicken back because now you want a t-bone does not make you the chickens victim or the waiter's victim, etc. if the chicken never shows up. The universe wants you to have everything that you choose to have whether it is for your highest good or not, You just simply have to be very clear on what that desire is, visualize daily, and be willing to believe before you see. You have to be able to generate the feeling of already having your desire to speed along its arrival into your now. See, feel, believe...arrive.
My friend is walking through her life completely blind to all possibilty. This is what makes her a 'victim', if you will. There is nothing outside of us that can make us a victim without us first handing over our permission. I firmly believe that we all came here with a plan, or a script, and that we carefully chose all of the players, what their roles would be, and the circumstances that we would all agree to create together (before ever arriving here mind you) for our highest good. The people among us that are living out the most difficult lives are the most evolved and the strongest among us. Unfortunately, so many times people get weighed down in how truly difficult it is to be here and, over time, forget how special we all are and how much help there is around us and turn to outside sources to fill us up. Drugs, alcohol, money, sex, food, excercise, diet, etc. when abused these all become hole fillers. They fill that emptiness that comes of not understanding what we are doing here, feeling disconnected from our God...the ultimate parent, or feeling like this is all some cosmic joke. It is not. There is a purpose, otherwise it would not exist. Again, that would defy universal law. And each and everyone of us has a purpose, a reason for having come here in the first place. We are all here for the service of our higher purpose. Can you imagine what the world would be like if everyone put a consciouss effort into bringing their best game to the table...daily? We have an obligation to ourselves to do so. Getting the most out of this experience is only possible if we are awake and aware and choosing from a point of love rather than fear. This is the experience we most desired when we chose to come here. To put forth our best to receive the most for our eternal highest good. This is such a difficult place to evolve because it affords us the possibility for the most rapid advancement in growth. No one came here with the idea in mind that they would go through all of this and just put in a half-assed effort. We all had lofty goals when we came here. We owe it to ourselves to do the best that we can through an ongoing committment to our own personal growth and to the growth of those around us by witholding judgement and not becoming an obstacle.
So...give yourself a huge pat on the back just for having the guts to come here in the first place. If you feel that you have had big obstacles to overcome, addiction, a handicap, lousy parents, bad realtionships, whatever it may be...give yourself another huge pat on the back for having such a commitment to your own evolution that you would choose such difficult circumstances for yourself. How amazing are you? You are doing the work of several lifetimes all in one. We are all just working toward that final goal of making our way back to Godhead and this cannot be accomplished without each and everyone of us making it back. If even one is left behind the reunion of all of those souls that were created at the dawn of time...and, yes, you are one of those souls as we all are...we will never be completely reunited. Yeah, you guessed it...that would defy universal law. So...how amazing are you? Let's just say we can't do it without you. Without you none of this is possible.
BE MIND BLOWING: Walk up to a total stranger today and offer them an unsolicited compliment. It will make their day...and yours.
We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.....
