What if....
What if I were to tell you that you're God?
Would you believe it? Probably not.
What if I told you that this is all a story?
Would you believe it? Probably not.
Now what if I were to tell you that you ARE God and that you wrote this story to experience what it is like to forget that?
What if the story ends when you re-discover this truth?
What if it gets more interesting while you discover it?
What if I were to tell you that everyone you meet is a character in the story? some are here to give you clues, others are here to make you doubt. Every meeting, every coincedence, even every thought is a part of the story...perfectly written to make Your Story more beautifully full and complicated than any hollywood movie dreams of being.
Would you believe it? Perhaps...but perhaps your belief right now is a part of the story too. Perhaps I am just one of those characters.
Perhaps you do believe...perhaps your story is about to get a lot more interesting.

Sounds similar to the book 'God - I am'. I enjoyed that years ago.
Yes, co creation, self actualisation, and active visualisation make for an interesting life..........
I'm loving it!
;-)
I might not have believed you years ago. If you had told me these things then, I'd have thought you were insane and I'd have turned and ran in the other direction.
Now, though, since now is really all that matters... Now I'd believe you.
anonymous....I'm not sure I'd agree with the idea of "co-creation". I'm not saying that we "all" create this illusion, I'm saying that there is no "all". There is only you. As for "active visualization", that sounds a bit like a method of control...to actively "visualize" would be to create an image rather than simply Be. There is a flow to to the thoughts, a flow to the images, and even a flow to the feelings already...the last thing we should do is assert our idea of what that flow should do onto it.
the less we "try" to Be the more we're being...then we realize that our life was very interesting to begin with.
How many people do you think you will tell this to? Is this your role in life, to be a revealer of God to people? How will I entrust myself to your explanations? I had a teacher once, it took a long time to get free again.
My role in life is to simply be. I am not a teacher and you will never be able to "follow" my explanations. In truth, you do not truly hear me at all...you hear yourself, your interpretations of what you're reading right now, and your own ideas about what those interpretations mean.
It is not my role to teach, it is simply my role to be Myself. How can I teach you when I am simply a voice from your own consciousness speaking to you? "You" and "I" mean exactly the same thing.
You know it all already. I'm just saying it differently.
Great questions! I do believe and my story does get better and better as each moment passes by. Of course I am talking in practical time, for time is only an illusion, there is only now.
Thank you for the reminder that there is really only one of us. Keeping focused on this idea brings much comfort - especially to somebody who a big part of their anxiety is worrying about the judgment of "other" people.
Brian, anyone who believes that there are "other people" will worry about judgement from them or towards them...but always remember that "we" all share this belief...we all share the same mind and thus the same fears. You're not alone (well, you are...but you know what I mean).
Keep choosing your own perception..."everyone" else will fall into line in the end.
Good to hear from you,
A forgetful God
I have been feeling this kind of thing more and more as of late. For me, "feeling" is the key word because when I "believe" I catch myself thinking and my concious analyzations, interpretations... whatever it is that the naggy part of my brain... you know what I mean, the inner count, sitting up in some chair talking non-stop... he has too much to do with "belief" because, to me, belief is a discussion inside... doubt is too close to belief... belief is too concrete a concept to handle the bigger picture.
Anyway. I have been feeling those 'master of the universe' feelings... I see things unfolding how I want them to. I feel the place that understands where this energy is best used.
I can't explain it. I might just be a poor writer or that might be just it.
I am catching myself going in circles on these posts... which is probably sort of a hint.
I was on 5 minutes for mom and saw your post. I'm not even sure what it is you believe. Are you saying you are God? If I believe I am God, boy am I in trouble! I am so very blessed to trust in an all knowing, all loving, omnipresent God who knows me way better than I know myself. The God who created this universe and you and me and everything that exists in it is a God that is higher than our thoughts and I'm thankful for that! If you are God, I'm really scared.
I re-read your blog again and just realized that you probably will now answer me with "well you are just a character to get me to doubt myself".
If this is all you have, what little hope!
A verse that comes to mind when reading your blogs--
A discerning man keeps wisdom in view, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
Actually Michelle I don't believe you are a character to make me doubt myself. I say this for 2 reasons.
1) Your comment in the post "Heaven and Hell" shows you to be a deeply religious person...you have a strong belief in an outside God and other peoples opinions. This is not a cause for doubt on my part, it is a cause for doubt on yours.
2) You seem to get very upset by the concept of "God" simply being You. I'm not saying that I am God, I'm saying that I am You and You are Me and so on and so on (you believe in Christ...ever wonder why he said Love thy neighbor as yourself?). This reaction is based on fear (all reactions are).
You are not making me doubt myself because my belief is based upon my own observations rather than the observations of other people who, for centuries, have mastered the art of passing off responsibility.
Responsibility dictates that you figure things out for yourself...responsibility also dictates that you do NOT pass everything off to "God". Just as Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the Serpent...lack of responsibility will always keep us from Eden.
As long as you put faith in someone Elses opinion, that faith will always be riddled with Doubt because it is not YOUR opinion...you are simply following someone elses thoughts out of fear of discovering your own.
I would highly recommend you re-read your own verse.
"A discerning man keeps wisdom in view, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth."
Wisdom is knowing yourself, to seek God is to wander to the ends of the earth. I seek no safety, I seek no comfort, and I seek no Heaven...I have those things Here and Now.
I am not going to tell you that your beliefs are wrong...to do that is judgement and that is not my right or wish. I will, however, wish you luck in your search. Always remember what your own "Savior" said.
"The kingdom of heaven is near." It is not after death, it is right Here and Now...within you.
Love your neighbor as yourself means to love your neighbor as you would yourself. You take special care of yourself, so treat your neighbor that way. There isn't any deep hidden meaning to that. And my reactions are not out of fear. They are out of trying to figure out why you think that way. It is very out there for me. I don't question my belief in God because it makes total sense. I don't doubt my faith. So for you to say I doubt my own faith is ridiculous. I doubt you know what you are even talking about. What do you base your beliefs on--your own thought? Well you got those from somewhere, so aren't they opinions too? I base my belief on a book that has been around for thousands of years. It has failed to be discredited. It still exists for thousands to read. Why do you think that is so?
The problem is that you interpret my posts as something else because your worldview is skewed. I'm not saying that I'm smarter, by any means. You seem like you have plenty of knowledge in your "religion" and "opinions". However, you interpret my posts as doubt and that I believe in opinions, which is not the case. If I trusted only in what others said about me or of my life, I certainly would not be where I am. I would not believe in God because everyone around me except my husband does not believe in Jesus. I would not homeschool because it isn't popular to homeschool. And you really shouldn't quote scripture because you use it for your own convenience and don't even know what it means. This is quoted in Matthew by Jesus himself. I don't have time now to explain what he meant and I feel it would be wasted anyway.
I don't have fear because I question you. No. I am insulted that you would say that you are God. I have hope because I believe in Christ. Without that hope this world would be miserable. I feel sorry that you think this is all there is to life. How sad. This is heaven and earth you said. This earth is just one piece of our existence for those who trust and believe in Jesus. I would kill myself if I believed that because what would be the point of this life? And I don't need to search for answers from the ends of the earth. The answers are right in front of me in my Bible. I don't need to figure out who God is by searching because I have the Bible which He wrote.
By the way, wisdom is not knowing yourself. Your definitions of wisdom, faith, and believing are WAY different than mine...seek a dictionary, you contradict yourself.
"Cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter that the outside of them may be clean also" (Matthew 23:24-26).
Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:20-21)
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverb 23:7)
Luke 20:34
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
Luke 20:35
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
