Everything That Happens Is For You To Experience Yourself

When we take a look at the experience of life, we can see that many many different things happen all around us.

If you were the original Creator of Life, what would be the point of creating it? You already are All That Is. What more would you want?

Well, if there was just you, all alone as the infinite, there would be a lack of experiencing yourself in relationship to anything else, for there is nothing else but you.

As so *BOOM!* You create an infinite number of expressions of yourself, many unique perspectives of yourself, and give yourself the ability to experience yourself in relationship to “something else.”

Now you can experience yourself as a person who is single, has a girlfriend, a boyfriend, multiple boyfriends and/or girlfriends, a wife, a husband, a daughter, a son, a pet, or any other of the many possibilities of relationship with an other or others.

All of the people who come into your life create the possibility for the being that you are to experience yourself in relationship to another.

Everything that happens in life is a doorway for you to experience yourself as anything that you wish in response to what happens.

Many Different Responses

Say you’re walking down the street and someone makes a silly face at you. Thanks to this trigger, you have the ability to experience yourself as someone who laughs in response to it, who gets angry because of it, who has no response in relation to it, or anything else. Thanks to this gift of someone making a face at you, you have the opportunity to experience yourself in many different ways.

Everything that happens “to you” in life is simply an opportunity for you to experience another facet of yourself. On the level of form, you can be the “same you” over and over, or you can change and be a “new you” altogether. Our lives afford us this tremendous opportunity, and what a gift that is.

You are not the victim to your life.. unless you choose to experience yourself in that way. Yet ultimately you are not in any way a victim.

You and Them

What anyone says or does has nothing to do with you. It’s entirely them and “their stuff.” It’s a reflection of who they’re choosing to experience themselves as.

On the flipside, your response has nothing to do with them. It is entirely you and “your stuff.” Who you’re being is completely an expression of who you’re choosing to experience yourself as.

Recognizing this, we can allow others to be the way they choose, for it’s all them anyways. We can even allow all of life to be as it is.

You and I are independent, and yet because we require one another in order to experience ourselves in relationship to each other, we are intimately connected and completely intertwined.

Deeper than this, there is only one of us. Really.

Absolute and Relative

In the domain of the absolute, everything just is.

Not happy or sad. Not male or female. Not big or small. Not perfect or imperfect. Everything just is.

There is no opportunity for uniqueness or relationship, because it’s all one.

As the one expresses itself in the world of the relative, we are given the gift of experiencing ourselves as anything we wish.

Nothing happens “to you” in life, unless you want to experience yourself as someone who has stuff happen to them.

Nothing happens “for you” in life, unless you want to experience yourself as someone who has stuff happen for them.

Life is a meaningless blank slate, on top of which the mind can paste any meaningful experience it so chooses.

We are that free, as the empty nothingness that we are, to create ourselves as a unique expression of the infinite everything that we are.

Choose

And so in this lifetime, who do you wish to be? Choose.

Like it? Choose again.

Don’t like it? Choose again.

Want to use your free will to push against life? Do it.

Want to use your free will to surrender to the flow of life? Do it.

It is all up to you.
