Are you competitive or creative?

We all have a choice to be creative or competitive. What we choose makes the difference in our outlook upon life and how we view our role. The greatest question Albert Einstein ever presented was the query: We need to ask this very important question…Is the Universe a friendly place. The answer that only we as individuals can state determines how we view this time we have on our planet. If we choose, as I have, that the Universe is a friendly place and is there to be able to provide me with everything that I want and need to grow and develop then a set of expectations have been established that my thoughts will create a friendly place.

On the other hand if you view the Universe as unfriendly then a new set of expectations will occur that makes the Universe a “dog eat dog world “and one to master, one you must conqueror to survive. It is surviving this life versus living this life. Competition assumes that we are not One, and are apart from the Source of Energy that permeates all things. It purports that we are separate beings in need of beating each other for the limited supply of whatever we seek, money, affection, power and fame. As humans we need to “make our mark on the world” while seeking to have control over others and make them “see things our way”, while seeking to control ourselves and those around us. It exudes a life of conflict and conflict resolution.

By co-creating with Universe we can have the abundance that a living Deity has expected us to obtain. It is our design to grow and to promote life without competition or conflict resolution. We need only to accept life on life’s terms, live in the present moment with gratitude for being in the moment and having our thoughts on how we can best help the Eternal Source create   the life we have that glorifies the Source and can best move all of mankind to the next level of existence. We all can reach a level that all of the Thoughts of all mankind are about Peace, Love and Understanding is achieved in our World. Through living a life with purposeful thinking we can live without competition, knowing the world is a friendly, abundant place where everyone can be fulfilled, enlightened and live as One.

Bend and stretch,reach for the sky

Whenever a system gets overloaded the system has to change and grow larger or it ceases to exist. Life is created to grow and expand. When a seed grows it breaks out of its casing and expands into the ground to build first a twig, then a plant or a tree. The seed has no choice, it has to grow and to expand, its role is to become something different and reach towards the Heavens.

A plant does not argue or disagree with its role it just does what it was set out to do, grow and develop. It even will put all of its efforts to face the light that feeds it and makes it grow. It will use what is around it to complete its task of becoming a plant or a tree and in the end it will perpetuate itself by producing other seeds and continuing the process from here to eternity. It knows of no hardships, it recognizes no failures it simply grows. With no other purpose but to become what it sets out to do it succeeds until it comes to the end of its life and a new tree or plant takes its place.

We as fellow human beings on this planet have the same purpose. We are to row and glorify the Universal Mind. Your definition on what that looks like to you can be inserted here but the results are the same. Our purpose on this planet is to be the very best we can be to bring joy and happiness along with love into the world and to lift the entire planet to a higher level. How we do that is through humor, love and gratitude. By being grateful we can elevate our space allow our surroundings to provide the nurturing our Souls desire and give our seeds a chance to reach towards the heavens and flourish.

As humans we need to take a tip from the plants and define our purpose, seek nourishment from our surroundings and complete the goal of reaching toward our Source of light and enery everyday. A system that does not do this will wither away and perish. Lets grow and produce more seeds for the future of our planet and life as we do not know it now.

Do we all have our cross to carry?

On this Good Friday, it is important to remember the significance of this time of year. It represents a time for a new beginning and a spiritual renewal of our core beliefs and thoughts. The story of Jesus’ death of the body is compelling one because it let’s us know that this plane of existence is but a temporary one and that we all need to look at the larger picture of our infinite existence and everlasting life. This body we use for this playtime on earth is fleeting yet seems so real that we spend a lot of time being concerned about our time on the slide or the swing.

We can take an opportunity at this time of year to examine the thoughts and beliefs that increase our belief in separation and those that cause us to live in anger and fear. By self discovery and lowering our resistance to what life has to offer we can use this time for spiritual growth and enlightenment. Many can look at the cross that seems to represent the Christian faith and determine that it is the struggle and the death of our bodies that is the important thought this season. The symbol can and is misleading if we look to the physical plain of existence. Would it not be wonderful to view this as a time to bid farewell to the thoughts and actions we take that appear to be resistance to our completion as being of the Whole.

The beauty of this junction in our lives is that we can resurrect the idea of Oneness and decrease our resistance to the Universal Truth. We can bask in love and joy today with the knowledge that our growth is eternal. We can bring forth the abundance that is offered to us and look for the similarities of our fellow humans in this human race. The Human race is not about being first but just being One. Let us all be renewed, resurrected and rejuvenated this Easter season.
