We are Creator: Let us Accept that We are the All of Life

It would serve each of us to accept, as God -- as holographic fragments of Creator, as finite sparks of the infinite...however you choose to look at it -- that we are each the whole of life. We are to be the Alpha and the Omega in our experiences here, then, are we not? What does that mean, exactly? It means that we are bound to be the "good" and the "bad" in life for one another, no matter what our intentions...for our brothers and sisters of different perspectives, of varying awarenesses will see us through their eyes, through their frameworks, through their worldviews, in a way that serves their soul growth. And if they are growing, let us celebrate that growth, even if that means playing the role of the "bad guy" along their path.

Let us accept them and wish them well even if they go on with their lives, always thinking of us or seeing us as the "bad guy" until they gain the clarity or the awareness to see that we were not bad but just being who we were at that time. They will see that there was nothing good or bad about it. They will see that they simply put themselves in relationship to the experience of us the way that they needed to in order to learn some truth about themselves. And in doing so, we took on whatever hue or tone they needed us to, in their reality, for that revelation or experience to occur. They may even grow fond of us, in their minds, when they realize this, but we may never end up knowing about it.

We have agreed, in being here, that this is the way life would work. We have agreed to be the stuff of life -- and that means all of it...and whole-heartedly, at that. As we grow in our awareness, we will see this very clearly -- that we play these roles for one another and that all is well.

It would serve us to fully own that we do, in fact, create the reality that we experience through the law of attraction and through our perception -- through our minds. It is, truly, in our perception of, in our experience of a word, an action, an incident, an infraction that determines how we are changed by it. Do we decide that something is "weird?" Or is it simply what it is? Do we decide that that person was "wrong" or "out of line" or "inappropriate?" Perhaps...and in that decision, let us use that information to decide who we will be in relationship to the world -- not expending a great deal of time analyzing who they are, what they should do, what they would do if they were enlightened, or how we should now avoid them at all costs.

God would have no qualms about playing a role for someone. All kinds of characters are needed in the play of life. The show could not go on without all of the characters. When we know that we are the All of Life, we will smile gratefully just to be on the stage. We will not moan or complain about having to play the "bad guy" or that someone took us for the "bad guy," but we really weren't, or that someone in the audience didn't like our character or the performance that we gave on opening night. We will be secure enough in ourselves to know that we are awesome, that we did our very best. We will be peaceful knowing that we might not have been what they wanted to see, but we gave it our best shot, given who we were and what skills and abilities we had at our disposal at that time.

When someone puts out an energy in the form of a thought, a word, an action, and it strikes a chord within us -- harmonious or discordant -- let us be aware that that thought, that word, that action was valuable, even if it was received with a charge on it, but that it is not necessarily, in and of itself, an accurate estimation of the person from which it came. People are good. People are valuable. People have very special gifts. People have imbalances. People have wounds. They have fears. They have misgivings. We operate out of them all at various times. And that is OK. Let us accept this...about ourselves and one another...and move on.

To dismiss a person entirely from being in our lives because we allow the charges on our own issues to cloud our vision of the person that stands before us is to hurt human relations, to hurt ourselves, to hurt others. We may be well served by someone's gifts but cut ourselves off from them prematurely because we have already tossed the baby out with the bath water over one thing that he or she said -- over one pattern that is playing out between that person and ourselves -- instead of having the courage to work through these things with one another in love and brother/sisterhood. We are well served to not burn bridges and to honor all people as being the pure energy of God, of Life expressed...who just happen to have issues to work through and wounds to heal while they are here...some more than others. We have all chosen to be here, for various reasons, for various purposes. And all is well.

Sometimes complete separation from people does serve our highest good. Sometimes it does not. Use your finely tuned discernment to see the aspects of people more and more clearly -- in seeing the aspects of yourselves more and more clearly. And accept all of these aspects as a perfect part of the reality of life. Love them for being an option, for being available, even if you do not choose them.

Bring yourself as authentically and lovingly as you can to this play of life. Dance the dance and play your roles, experiencing them fully, but remembering that you are not these roles that you play. It is then that you will be able to move out of your roles altogether and simply Be in relationship to everything--people, places, and things -- as the moment dictates...knowing all the while that you are Love...that you are Love expressing -- that you are whole and perfect just as you are, in every moment.

We are Creator. Let us accept that we are the All of Life.
