All Ain’t What It Seems To Be
Everything Is In The Mind: Being Make-Belief, There Is Nothing Or No One To Forgive
Secret #9: Everything is in the mind – yours and mine – the Collective Mind. Our universe is mental and I refer to it as ‘The Box,’ also seen to be a matrix and holographic. It means that all you see and perceive with your physical senses is mind-made-up. Mind is busy thinking and constantly provokes activity, as a result.
God, on the hand, is not. God is Stillness. God is Eternal and Permanent. God is Trustworthy, Real and Faithful.
In this closed system inside our box, the mind, all things are fantasy and make-belief. We play as figures inside it with our dolls and make-belief situations and love affairs for a little while and then, once we wake up from the fantasy, we go Home never to be seen as a figure ever again.
Peace reins because the mind has quite literally disappeared. Stillness is. The state of Bliss is restored in your Being, the entire Soul of God. Fantasies and dreams have been laid aside for good. God’s children have grown and seen their way stepping away from all the toys laying at their feet that once enticed them to pick up and make-belief seem real, if not for just a little while.
‘Here’ is where forgiveness enters the mind and is used like a wise tool to heal your mind recognizing the falsities and dreams you’ve been having for what seems like a very long time.
The dream has quite literally forced you to wake up. All the challenges and emotional suffering and near-misses you’ve experienced throughout your life will eventually motivate you to reach for the first time to find something stable and solid to stand on acknowledging that you are truly safe and all is not as it seems.
You’re waking up and understanding that there is nothing here that ever needs to be forgiven.
Why? Because, my friend, it’s a fantasy. It’s make-belief. Why would we want to hold a grudge or a grievance over something that ain’t real? Not even your emotional pain is real inside this matrix.
Why? LOL Because it ain’t real! Nothing, absolutely nothing, has any control over you ‘here’ inside this box-like universe. NOTHING!
It’s make-belief not unlike the box you pulled out from your closet when you were a kid that held your toy horses and cowboys/Indians, or maybe you had dolls and doll furniture. As a kid, having not yet spiritually grown to know the difference between false and true, you played and played believing in your made-up storylines for a little while until Mom called you for dinner. That’s when you quickly shoved everything back into the box and into the closet for another day of make-belief.
That’s all we’re doing but albeit, it feels a lot more real and it appears to be something we are actually living and experiencing at least 16 hours a day. Right!
Right! But it’s wrong. However real it feels to you, it isn’t. But, I get it … hey, I’m in this box with you, after all. Right! So, why do I see this reality different than you do?
Great question. From an early age (around 9 or 10 years old), I began having some pretty serious and quite odd questions about me, who I am and what the heck’s going on here? LOL Yep, I did. of course, I never actually asked anyone these questions, they were internal inquiries.
Then I met Jesus. Well, I’m still very young and I don’t know quite what to make of him but I was fascinated by the stories about him loving others and helping them, unconditionally, that I developed a great respect for him and I knew then that I wanted to be just like him.
Growing up being surrounded by my contemporaries (peers) who didn’t think like me made me an oddball to say the least; for this, I was a very lonely child.
But, being alone gave me ample time to play with my dolls and kitty, and to reflect on much that most kids my age did not.
Later, as I grew into an adult, I became racked with emotional suffering that came by way of friendships and romantic interests. I truly did not know who I was in these relationships. I never felt supported, but this confusion began in the way my parents related to me. That’s a whole other story.
But isn’t it always….
With so much emotional pain in my heart from failed friendships and relationships, it was either do or die for me; I was so lonely and felt so alone.
One day, I turned to God, Who seemed like the only One I could really count on to listen to me. Through Him, I reached for Jesus to take my hand after asking for the pain in my heart, that was so heavy and foreboding, to be plucked-out so as to free me. And He did! I literally felt the physical release of the darkness being removed from my heart. Oh my god …! It was an amazing feeling and even more so, an amazing relief that instanty came over my heart in that moment.
I honestly didn’t know why I got so lucky in that moment to have my un-forgiveness (I had been carrying for a long time) removed from my heart like a huge stone. From that point on, healing was taking over the focus I once had on the world.
I started to see my life differently and the people and the roles they played in it with me quite differently. I had been gifted a sort of an awakening on that day. I learned to meditate after this. I was quite resistant about meditating; I didn’t want to.
But, I did it and I found it to be quite relaxing if not anything more. However, back then, 20 years ago, I remember telling my husband that when I meditated, I would receive a VERY quick and EXTREMELY bright light flash across my inner sight (3rd eye location). And, sometimes, I felt like I was being socked in the gut. It was a blow to my abdomen but it wasn’t harsh or painful.
Later, I would learn that the flashes of light were Divine downloads into my energetic body that were full of wisdom and truth. And I found out that my abdomen’s Chakra Centre, that I didn’t know about then, was being activated.
Again, later, I learned this area of the body is the seat of the Soul and it represents our self-confidence, that, I guess, I didn’t really have much of given all my relationship failures. Needless to say, life took on a whole new spin for me while meditating. I became a spiritual student at that time and I was healing from all my ouches.
Ten or more years later, I’m fully onboard with the purpose of gifting the world with my forgiveness. I was no longer someone who held grievances towards others for what they may have done.
I learned that it’s loving yourself to offer others freedom and that it was being selfish not only to others but, more specifically, towards myself, when I didn’t forgive. In fact, it was holding me imprisoned when I thought they should be. I was wrong! All it proved to be was keeping me stuck in my own-made emotional torture chamber. Now, isn’t that silly. Right!
So, I’m asking you to NOT be too quick to NOT EVER forgive. Don’t be selfish! It’s not good for you, trust me. If you release your need to be seen as a victim, you WILL come to see that there has never been anything or anyone to forgive. Why? Because as I said earlier, it’s a box of toys we’re playing in where at some point, you’ll grow up and put your toys away for good. Or, you won’t.
But, irregardless, you must forgive. No one is saying you have to keep the person, who has overstepped their welcome, in your life or to continue to entertain them or put up with their sh*t.
What is being said is that you MUST forgive for your own well-being and sanity.
Ask yourself this: Who is living with the constant, everyday, emotional pain and unrest of withholding forgiveness from someone? Is it the other, or is it you? Be honest with yourself.
The truth is, it’s ONLY you who it’s punishing. It’s not the other person. Sure, they may feel a sting when you say no to them, but in truth and in the long run, that emotionally charged “NO, I’LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!” is sitting in your backyard, not theirs. In other words, it’s only affecting you and your life.
However, to forgive (let go of) them with YOUR HEALTHY BOUNDARIES in place, will heal you, protect you and keep you well. Your boundaries are telling others WHAT you will and will NOT accept from them. And it’s telling you that you care about the way you feel. This is self-love and self-respect.
So, if someone has for the millionth time overstepped their position in your life, make the decision to implement those healthy boundaries with them today. And keep them up until they either go away for good or they change and become a humble and loving person towards you.
You are worthy, after all. BOUNDARIES!
Until tomorrow … our last Secret Revealed … have a great day!
