LIFE
THE PERFECT WORLD:
We come into this world from a spiritual state and turn into flesh. Our purpose is to be protectors over the earth and to have dominion over all living creatures, and to be filled with love, joy and happiness.
God provides everything we need. We do not have to be worried about anything. Our parents would be loving and caring. Showing affection, allowing us to live with all living creatures.
The Perfect World would be much like Narnia in C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia. There would be no wild creatures, all be tamed, allowing us to ride them and we would be able to speak with them.
There would be absolutely no crime but rather perfect LOVE.
Imagine being caressed, hugged, told that you are loved. Not just hearing it, but being showed it. You would be able to walk around with you're mother, father, relatives; play with friends, not be worried about the anything. You wouldn't have to worry about being
left out or being taken advantage of. THERE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN IN THIS PERFECT WORLD THAT IS WHAT IT WAS LIKE WHEN WE WERE IN HEAVEN AS A SPIRITUAL BEING.
THE REAL WORLD
We come into this FALLEN world. It's different then everything that we have learned as spiritual beings. There is abuse, there are cruelties.
God gave mankind FREE WILL. Throughout the ages, mankind turned to greed, alcohol, and other forms of addictions to fill their inner needs.
We learn from our surroundings, especially as children. We pick up things quickly. We learn how to walk at the age of one. We pick up, copy, everything we see. We learn to speak at around the same age. From the age of one to three, we have the ability to learn to speak several languages. Our mind is a knowledge trap. .
We learn best through repetition, having things repeated over and over again. Hearing words like: you're ugly, I wish I never had you, you're making my life miserably, you're stupid, I wish you were more like???? Hearing constant praise for one sibling and none for you; being treated as an invisible person not recognized whatsoever; feeling as though you could fall off the face of the earth and no one would notice you; watching your parents drink, hurt one another, abuse you; watching one or both parents walk out on you, feeling abandoned; all of this repetition teaches us from the earliest age.
We tend to hold it all in and suppress everything. We pretend that it really isn't that bad.
We are taught to keep it all to ourselves. We are told: “what goes
on in this family stays in this family.”
The bottom line is that it is like having a pink elephant in the living room where everyone can see it, but it is just ignored.
We all receive this negative energy, and there is no place for it to go. We suppress it by holding it in. We can't cry because we need to be strong. Nothing we do can please the individual. From birth to now, all this is trapped inside us.
As we grow older, we tend to do several things. We become people pleasers; we try to help everyone around us. We want to be loved. We cut ourselves off from the face of the earth and become isolated. We try to control others by our actions. We are controlled. We live life to the extreme. We become perfectionists, work alcoholics, we drown
ourselves in work. We make work our identity. Or we are slackers, not really caring.
Both of these extremes are characteristics of our being afraid of authority figures. The work alcoholic doesn’t want to upset the boss/supervisor; or they don‘t give a crap, believing that no matter what they do they can't possibly please them.
I said the entire last paragraph to say this. Our goal in life is to be closer to God. How can we please God if we are in so much pain?
I chose to blame God, and be upset with him for a long time. In order to HAVE God in control of our lives we must give all of our past crap over to GOD, and replace that old garbage.
My biggest complaint with God was, if He loved me, how in the heck could He allow all of this bad to go on. I slowly began to understand how God works a little at a time. One of the things that I discovered was God gave us, all of us, FREE WILL. (DOES EVERYONE KNOW WHAT FREE WILL IS?).
God loves us but he cannot interfere with our FREE WILL. So, he gave our parents, their parents and their parents before free will to act in whatever way they wanted. They learned to treat others how they had been treated. Notice, how dysfunctions are transferred from one generation to the next. We live what we are used too, what we have learned.
So, our goal is to unlearn all of the old ways and replace them with good ones; to let go and let God. It’s going to be a tough journey but we can do it. My belief is that we have to TALK about our past lives and move on. We need to be able to release all of that garbage and replace it with goodness.
Imagine yourself as that spiritual being and remember that you have a place on earth. Remember that our purpose on earth is to share love with one another and to help teach everyone around us that we are special children of God; created in His image. God doesn't make mistakes. NONE. We are each perfect in GOD'S eyes. We have inner
pain, created by earthly stuff. The devil is working freely to keep our spirits low and squelched. We have to know that the answer to our inner pain is IN GOD, not worldly positions, acceptance or desires. Once we get back to our original purpose and inner self we can fully be living spirits of God and are able to live life the way it's supposed to be lived.
