What are we Creating...?

Incoming journal entry:

When we start to understand that every thought we think, every word we speak, and every action we take influences the world in some way... we might start to question how we are shaping the world. Everything we do is affecting our reality, and our reality is intersecting with the realities of everything and everyone else that we ever interact with. What is really happening here?

Something big. A massive shift happens internally in this one, and I am certain that it is occurring 'out there' because I see it and feel it. I sense it in my bones. Not only is it easy to peruse the news and see the global environment undergoing massive movements, but in conversation with friends and family I am also reminded of the ever-changing nature of this 'reality'.

Is there any use in looking to the past for clues or pointers at where we will be headed? I think yes, but also no. The past exists to liberate us from the future so that we may live in the present. And what is the present moment? It escapes definition, for the moment we define it, it is now a snapshot of what has already passed. And the snapshot has borders.

The moment is infinite, for it is outside of time and space. Time and space are made up concepts in order for science to 'work'. In order for our egoic mind to define and label, we need space and time to be the boundaries to put things in. To categorize and store them into our memory banks for future recall. But what purpose does this serve, really? The memories we have are only there so that we can move forward without repeating the same experience.

We are built to let go, and to move into the flow of life. Every second, 10,000 of the tiny little cells that make up our body are replaced by entirely new cells, with the same genetic code as their mother or father cell. Except this genetic code is influenced by what is happening in the environment, and (more importantly) what the consciousness in our body is perceiving. The cell may pass on the same genes, but those genes will express themselves according to what is is necessary of them in their next stage of life. This same thing is happening macrocosmically with our bodies - we are moving forward on a seemingly linear timeline and in each new moment, we are expressing ourselves according to what is needed in that particular moment. The moment that we fail to express ourselves authentically, is the moment that we have re-created ourselves into the ghost of the past, which has already happened. We repeat the old pattern, belief, or habit, and we crystallize the flow of life. We become a hardened rock in the stream instead of being the water that flows over it. And it doesn't feel good, because it appears (and feels) like we are resisting the natural flow of things.

So what do we do? We drop the resistance. By dropping the resistance, the thought pattern existing in the egoic mind is let go of, and the cells in our body are now responding to a signal from our consciousness that it is OK to move into new territory. This mysterious, undefined, new space is a discovery in itself - and suddenly life blossoms into the beautiful story that is really is. We awaken to the dream of life, which is why we hear of 'awakenings' in spiritual circles. This 'awakening' is nothing more than actually seeing for the first time, that life really is a series of new moments strung together for us, where we are given all that we need in every second of our existence, provided we have the courage to actually show up and accept it. Showing up and accepting life is the same as letting go. It is dropping the resistance that we have with our efforts to make life conform to us, to make it look like something we want it to look like; to have an expectation about how we want things in life to be.

On a cellular level in the body, these cells that are constantly being replaced by new cells all over, they don't 'know' anything other than serving a greater good. Where the 'greater good' is a quasi-subjective, paradoxical definition of what we really, really want. Deep down in our hearts, we know. We know. Because way deep down inside of each of us in the desire to open to life. To accept it all. To become a part of it all, because we already ARE. We just seem to have forgotten that in our willingness to let go and be with IT, we are masterfully woven into the perfect and overwhelmingly intelligent design of the entire Universe.

And we are the cells of our planet, of our solar system, and our Universe. Just like the cells in our body are replacing themselves according to this highest vision, as are we dying and being reborn in each moment to something new. Something fresh. Perhaps mysterious and undefined, but always beautiful and unique. The moment beauty is not seen is the moment we stop looking for it because we've forgotten to trust that what is here is perfect.

What is here is perfect, because you are here to observe it. And it is in observation that everything is possible, for consciousness illuminates what is seen. What is the other possibility? A stuck belief, a rock in the stream, that wants what is here to be something else. Which is (obviously) impossible. Don't mess with what's here, it's already perfect. As are you, when you consciously unite with the pure existence that you so obviously are. This is the true yoga; the true union. Union with what actually is. Not what might be. What 'might be' is irrelevant - it is taken care of, I promise. When has life ever failed to take you to the next moment?!

Look for what is here. Keep looking, but be a finder, not a seeker. Find what you are looking for, and if you don't like what you find, change what you are looking at. This direction of our consciousness is the signal sent to the cells in the body as the vision they need to uphold. Focusing on fear will send the image of a world that is dangerous to our cells. Remember - they don't 'know' anything other than serving our consciousness as the highest governing force. And maybe we don't 'know' anything other than serving a greater good as our highest governing force. It is impossible for one moment to apply our limited intellect to understand the great scheme of existence, but is possible to serve it fully and wholeheartedly with faith that this divine order got nothing wrong. So maybe we ought to stop trying to figure anything out and instead do our job as human beings and accept our role as the caretakers of our existence, of the abundant and perfect life that surrounds us. Look around.... nature hasn't f***ed anything up. So maybe we could stop f***ing things up too for once. Starting with our bodies and the consciousness that inhabits these bodies.

Focus on love. Feel it inside then look for evidence to support that feeling. When we feel 'it' first, we attract 'it' to ourselves, because this is the way the Universe works. It is constantly delivering to us the evidence to support how we feel inside. This is the real work. The body arranges itself around our consciousness. The cells die and reborn according to the image we keep in our mind's eye - where our consciousness is focused. Stop giving them a poor signal. They don't 'know' any better, and nor do they mean any harm. Give yourself a break and just re-focus on the thing that brings you the most joy. Find joy in simply being, gratitude for the life that courses through you, and watch as life unfolds beautifully for you.

The orchestration is perfect when the most powerful force in the Universe, as consciousness, is applied towards the Creation of something beautiful. What is that something beautiful? The paradoxical, quasi-subjective experience of what we really, really want from life. Which, when we realize the power of our creationism, the essence of existence... is to create and experience whatever we truly want to see, wherever we look. And what we truly want to see is quasi-subjective because universally, we don't want to focus on anything less than the 'highest'.

Heaven on Earth. We are the gap bridgers. Our consciousness is the bridge between the two, and our body is the reflection of what we are focused on.
