Are there lessons to be learned in the human body? Do you not believe in life being a test? Why are we in human form now? I thought I was getting this but now I am confused.
Thanks,
d.
Life is not a school with lessons that need to be learned so that we can eventually graduate to a higher level of existence. There is nowhere to go, no heaven to get in to, for everything is here and now. Heaven is this moment. It’s not something to gain access to, but realize that it’s already here. And you are it. You are the infinite. You are nirvana. You are joy. You are God. You are Love.
(The kingdom of God is at hand!)
You are the One. If you are the One and there is no one other than you, what else is there other than you to accomplish?
There is only the experience of yourself, being yourself, witnessing yourself, enjoying yourself, experiencing more of yourself.
Yes you evolve spiritually, raise your consciousness, become higher vibing and more loving, but that’s really just another way of saying becoming more of who you really are.
We are consciousness becoming conscious of itself, the Self experiencing the Self, the Divine forgetting who it is so that it can awaken to the incredible joy of remembering who it is, more and more and more.
There is no purpose to life in the sense that there is something that we must accomplish during our stay here or else our life is a failure. We are simply here, as the Divine, giving All That Is the experience of itself, one flavorful bite at a time.
That’s it. Everything you do, everything you think, everyone you meet, and every experience you have, it is all That experiencing That.
Life is not about tests, but simply a series of opportunities that allow you to be more of yourself.
When you already are everything, there is nothing new to acquire, including knowledge or education. There is only the realization of what you already know within, the awakening to your true nature, and the remembrance of who you really are: the Infinite.
The idea of learning lessons presupposes the experience of lacking something and subsequently acquiring something new. This is not possible given that you already are everything in existence.
So there is no destination to life really. You don’t ride a roller coaster to get to the end. You ride the roller coaster to enjoy the roller coaster. You ride life to enjoy the ride of life. This is it. This moment. In this moment we are experiencing ourselves in every way possible. It is in this world that we are bringing ourselves from the Unmanifest to the Manifest and thus experiencing all possibilities, all versions of All That Is, here in physical manifestation.
You are here so that God can know itself, so that the Divine can experience itself. God lives through us. It is thanks to you that God can experience itself and know itself, and God is infinitely thankful to you for your help in the experience, overflowing with appreciation and unconditional love.
The point of life is life. The “destination” is the journey.
This is it. Here and Now!
Welcome to earth.
Thanks for your question!!

“Life is not about tests, but simply a series of opportunities that allow you to be more of yourself.” What a marvelous journey, the Self discovering the Self. The most simple and most profound experience. Learning to accept, be thankful for, love, dissolving the false self and eventually realize that reality is That.

Wow! perfect response. I think somehow our ego gets activated in searching the meaning from life. To know more and more about it.

Awesome post Ariel! I really do enjoy your writings. I hope you’ll keep them up in addition to the video, maybe I’m just used to them so I like them more because of that.
What would really be cool would be a full article like this, but also with video to either clarify certain points, or add on/say things that come across better in another medium other than writing.
Cheers!

Yeah, I like the idea of combo posts too. We’ll try that out.
This morning I had a lovely experience meditating on the word Namaste. Just the word, no thoughts about the word. At some point during this meditation people I know began entering my mind one by one and I suddenly saw an aspect of myself in each one of them. As this realization occurred I also felt immense love for them and then for myself as well because if they are all aspects of me then I must be aspects of them. And we are all One!! It’s like you’ve been saying, Ariel. It is so simple that I almost think maybe that still isn’t it. Is it?
However, I noticed that afterwards I now see my husband from a slightly different perspective as a part of me. The connection immediately becomes effortless, spontaneous, more intimate and surprising!
And more fun!!! Ha!
So (as I currently understand it) this aspect of you says Namaste, Ariel and thank you/me for your continued guidance and support.
This is wayyyy Cool!!!!
