Do you believe everything that happens in your life is according to a divine plan? If so, to what extent? Is every detail planned or just a general direction? Is life a predestination, or are we making it up as we go along?

My Guidance says there are many choices the Soul makes for the character-self to facilitate the design of an experience. (Remember my blog post about Heaven’s Kitchen?) This implies a plan. But not everything can be chosen! Not everything is known! What fun would that be if it was all predestination?

The Soul has agreed to play by the rules of the Earth experience, and this includes taking your chance with what Nature has to offer. For example, the Soul cannot know the exact chance genetic makeup of the physical body for its character-self.

We are a marriage of the animal nature of this dimension and the Soul’s plan. Each incarnation is new and exciting because you never know what you’re going to get! You are a surprise to yourself each time you incarnate. Discovering who you are in each lifetime is a big part of the fun. Nanosecond to nanosecond from this point on, the challenge will be how to create an experience that will explore your original intention with the combination of your chosen parameters and chance makeup from Nature.

Hi everyone! Here’s a little video message I’ve compiled for you to enjoy. 2013 is going to be great!

PEOPLE TRAVEL TO WONDER

AT THE HEIGHT OF MOUNTAINS

AT THE HUGE WAVES OF THE SEAS,

AT THE LONG COURSES OF RIVERS

AT THE VAST COMPASS OF THE OCEAN,

AT THE CIRCULAR MOTION OF THE STARS;

AND THEY PASS BY THEMSELVES WITHOUT WONDERING.

ST AUGUSTINE 399 AD

It’s important that you understand how you, as a spiritual being, came to be in a human body. You need to discover your spiritual birthright and “know thyself” at the deepest level. Many of the things I have been writing about may challenge popular belief and at some point you’re going to wonder where I am getting my information.

I find my answers within and my greatest hope is that I can show you how to receive your own answers as well. The time has come for each of us to access God directly, without separation. Deepak Chopra says our awareness of the divine nature within each of us is “hard wired”.

The desire to explore the questions of the mystics is also “hard wired” as evident in our yearning for meaning and purpose. I can tell you with 100% confidence that you will not find the answers you seek in dogma, religion or through a guru. How do I know this? Because truly, YOU are the answer.

For centuries, organized religions have used fear to suppress our knowledge that we are intuitive and spirituality connected beings. We were told that our very salvation depended upon giving our power over to the church and its representatives since we were inherently sinful and flawed.

Having direct access to God and our higher guidance was considered sacrilegious, heretical and in many cases, punishable by death. Hundreds of thousands of men and women were burned at the stake for listening to their intuition and “knowing things” that couldn’t be explained with traditional reasoning. But like a phoenix rising from the ashes it’s time to feel your wings – the wings you were born with.

The idea that we have a unique purpose for our lives is pervasive and this idea has motivated us throughout time to define an answer. My friend Dayana, who converses with a group of spiritual beings named AMAG, offers another way to look upon this question.

AMAG says, rather than searching for your purpose, know that you have come here on purpose and as such you decide your purpose.

From this perspective, everything you do, everything you are, IS your purpose! You have come here on purpose to shine your unique Light and you cannot fail to do so. The book, “You Are God, Get Over It!” says you cannot help your unfolding – it is certain and, I will add, on purpose. Knowing we are on purpose is reassuring but it also helps for us to define our unique Light so we are more consciously aware of this purpose.

I have a confession to make.  I am obsessed with cookbooks.  I collect only the ones with pictures and read them almost like a novel.  I love looking at all the possible combinations and exquisite creations. I wonder what each recipe will actually taste like compared to the picture. Will it be as good as it looks; what will the texture be like; what other foods would complement it; will my family and friends like it?

There’s work in preparing a dish, but that’s also part of the enjoyment. Effort and thought has to be put into the planning and shopping, picking the perfect complement and the presentation. It’s wonderful to anticipate the satisfaction of the meal itself…seeing friends and family enjoy a great creation (well, ok, not every dish is a hit). Although I’ll admit cleanup is not one of my favorite activities, it is still part of completing the experience.

What do recipes have to do with being a Creative Mystic?

I believe a good analogy can be made between a cook contemplating a recipe and your soul contemplating the creation of an experience. Just as a cook researches and plans for a new dish, your soul has to decide what type of “dish” – or experience – to make before we incarnate. This has to be extremely exciting… can you imagine stepping into heaven’s kitchen and cookbook library and looking at all the pictures of possible creations for earth before deciding which “dish” you would like to make for this lifetime? What an awesome kitchen to be in! Each soul has access to this incredible library through the power of Ultimate Grace.

In my next blog post, I’ll tell you about Ultimate Grace.

I believe that it is our spiritual responsibility to discover who we are and what we are here to do. It may sound mysterious but we are to discover the “I AM” Presence within each of us and it is the one of the most profound experiences we can ever have. Although it can take a lifetime, no other joy can be experienced with such depth as the realization of our Divinity.

The discovery and acceptance of I AM instantly leads to the discovery and complete acceptance of all that IS.  Again, this may sound mysterious but there is no mistaking the occurrence of this transformation. How will you know? The struggle of life and all the “shoulda, woulda, coulda’s” are replaced with a peace and excitement that are your reward and the joy becomes exponential.  The experience is limitless and boundless.

We are Creators of experience and we are the Observer of the experience. What a precious and exquisite opportunity to be conscious of our creation and the Observer of it. When you realize the gift of life that you have been given, your life is lived from a new perspective that continually honors everything that shows up – without exception. Magic and serendipity are omnipresent and awe is in every moment.

I love Snickers candy bars.  Who can resist that heavenly combination of peanuts, caramel and chocolate? Sadly, I don’t eat them very often because of their effect on my blood sugar. I would love to magically transform the energy of Snickers to a super food that could sustain life on the planet but I have not been successful at that yet.

You might think it’s silly to even entertain such an idea but what if it can be done? I believe it IS possible and furthermore I believe others have already done similar feats by breaking the structural belief behind it.

Structural Beliefs

Let’s get a clearer definition of what structural beliefs are. First of all they are far more than mere opinions (although there is some blurring of the line between opinions and beliefs.) Generally speaking, structural beliefs are strongly held attitudes, ideas, ways of thinking, and viewpoints that have been in existence long enough to create a sort of solidity. They can originate in mass consciousness, cultural and family systems and even on an individual soul level. All it takes to create a structural belief is an agreement from the participants of its validity or a strong emotional tie.

These structural beliefs help to define the context within which an experience will be created.  Your Soul wisely chooses the body in which it wishes to incarnate because of the beliefs that will be inherited. Your Soul considers many of these beliefs integral to the creation of its desired experience so in a way we are “fated” to these beliefs.  But does that mean we are stuck with them throughout our life?

The type of structural beliefs I’m talking about are evident everywhere. They are strong and pervasive. For example, if you were born in India and part of the caste system you would grow up naturally adopting those beliefs.  Other examples might be beliefs of what it means to be an American, what girls/boys do or don’t do, what is proper etiquette, what is possible for the human body to do, etc.

Some beliefs seem to be more rigid. These structural beliefs may have been agreed upon at a Soul level before incarnation rather than acquired through civilization or environment. You might think that the effect of sugar on the human body is across the board in the earth experience and therefore set in stone. But what if it is also simply a belief, and if so, can be modified?

Our Play of Fate and Free Will

In the previous Journal Pages we discussed fate and free will, an enigmatic phenomenon within duality that exists simultaneously as two sides of the same coin. Like in the card game analogy, we are locked in an inexplicable dance of fate and free will by the cards we are dealt and the choices we make as we play our cards.

Think of some of the cards we hold in our hands as the structural beliefs we came in with, acquired from our birth circumstances or create from life experiences.

Are we are stuck with the cards we are dealt? My Guidance says no.

What can be challenged?

Our power of free will extends to the very structure of this existence. As we grow in consciousness and recognize the origins of our divine authority we can begin to challenge the structural beliefs.

Some examples seem obvious and simple. At one time there was a strongly held belief that no one could run a mile under four minutes. But once that belief was broken, it became commonplace in major athletic events.

Even seemingly immutable laws of nature, such as needing food to survive, have been busted a long time ago by Breathairians (those who consume no food – only air for years at a time). This hardly seems possible and defies the basic functioning of the human body and yet it’s been done.  I believe this can only happen by the individual tapping into the truth of their divine nature and choosing whether or not to abide by the beliefs.

Is everything a belief? Bruce Lipton’s book, Biology of Belief, gives extraordinary evidence that even DNA is manifested from thought and can be changed as the thought changes. Throughout time humans have found ways to alter and change beliefs that were once thought of as indisputable. Are laws of physics such as gravity and forces of nature outside the realm of beliefs or we will someday find out even that line is fuzzy?

Perhaps we are fast approaching a time in our evolution of expansion where we are able to challenge some of the long held structural beliefs. It will be fascinating to see just how far the structure can be challenged as a growing number of individuals within mass consciousness are awakening to their true self and exercise their divine power of free will.

What are your unchallenged beliefs?
