LIMITLESS FREEDOM in WHOLENESS


God did not create you to have limits.

You are made in the image of EVERYTHING; you are an expression of the ALL. You are the very image and the likeness of freedom, expressing itself without fear or restriction. You can choose to be any part of the “everything” you wish to experience and express any part of the whole, in any way you wish. It is in the nature of what you are to express freedom that nature is why we resist the restrictions that others may place on us.

Smile you are in control, I know the phrase that is most often used is “God is in control”, but here in this physical life, it is us that have dominion, we (humanity) have complete freedom to create, express and experience anything we can imagine. It is essential for you to be able to experience yourself as you truly are, and to express the freedom of your will, you can even say no to God. Saying “no” to your creator does have consequences in this relative world however, not that you would be judged or punished for your negative response, but that your life will not “take off” in the way you dreamed it would. In this physical, relative realm our choices have consequences and outcomes; there will always be a harvest from our seeds.

The struggles and restriction we experience are artefacts of our level of awareness, it is a measure of the level of fear we still allow in our lives and an indication to the level of reality we ascribe to the physical world. Fear has us so tied up in knots that we can’t see the truth, we can’t see ourselves, and we’re hidden from ourselves by our trust in this negatively imagined reality.

"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead."--Nelson Mandela

Time to begin travelling through this life consciously, to begin deliberately choosing your path and creating a self, a life and a world where freedom is truly experienced and expressed. Wholeness, fulfilment and utter complete freedom are your birthright, you are a free being and being completely free is who you really are. Shift from a limited idea of who you are, move from a narrow view of what the nature of physical reality is and realize (make real) in your experience the expression of the limitless and free being you are.

Ephesians 4:15 (NLT) Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.

Practice love and compassion towards everyone you encounter, starting with that good looking gorgeous one in the mirror. Why? Because the very definition of limitless freedom is love and the first person we all need to learn to love is ourselves, that “gorgeous one in the mirror”, second share your love with all others. We are all perfect for the lives we came here to live.

God did not create you to have or experience limits, the only limits in life are those placed on you by you. You are created to be utterly free to express and experience a life of wholeness, free form the limiting negativity of small thoughts. Limitless freedom comes with the realization of our true nature (wholeness/oneness) and with the movement into wholeness the realization of limitless freedom. The circle is complete.

By the way, how is all this chasing after stuff working for you? Does it bring you the happiness and fulfilment you seek? It doesn‘t? Well, that’s interesting huh!

DOING THE STUFF YOU’RE “SUPPOSED” TO DO

Nothing is impossible for you, do you believe that? Believe it, because it’s true. Do you know how limitless and without boundary you are? You are you know; believe it, because it’s true.

You know that great big long list of things that this expert or that guru or for that matter society itself says we must do in order to be accepted as this, that or the other. Those impossibly high standards of busyness that we must attain in our lives so that others will think of us as a successful human being.

Then there’s all the tiny, inconsequential and unimportant stuff we fill our days with you know what I’m talking about, we keep ourselves so busy with the distractions of life. We spend most of our waking hours, perhaps ninety percent (90 %…!) doing the things that could never produce the fulfilling lives we so desperately desire. We give the lion’s share of our time and energy to the situations and people that deflect us from our true purpose, and therefore fulfilment in life.

We spend so much time retweeting this, or liking that, playing this game or watching that TV show. We worry about every tiny little thing, most of which we are apparently unable to do anything to change, we procrastinate (which at its root, is just fear of change) and we run around stressing about EVERYTHING!!!

Now, spending time on social media sites like Twitter isn’t necessarily a waste of time as long as it is used to encourage and to move your purpose forward. Everything has its rightful place in our lives as long as it helps us grow and move forward toward wholeness and fulfilment, and not distract us and deflect us from truly living. The social media does present us with an AMAZING opportunity to bless, encourage and bring a little light into someone’s life; it would be to waste an opportunity otherwise. But, that said we need to keep our online activities in the proper perspective (says a self confessed Twitter-aholic).

The experience of fulfilment is a window into wholeness, and wholeness a window into your true self and reason for being here; it allows you to peer into the truth of who you are. Be completely present in life, pay attention to what really matters in life, the people, the relationships and the expression of love within those relationships. Pay attention to the things that you are passionate about, that is a great big flashing neon sign that’s trying to tell you where and on what you need to spend your time.

Fulfilment, the experience of wholeness, resides not in the doing of “the stuff you’re supposed to do”, in all that running to keep up with societies expectations, constantly worrying about what those around think about you. Do whatever it is that brings you the most abundant joy; do whatever makes you overflow with satisfaction and wholeness. Do these things not only to bring yourself joy, but also to share that joy and to lead others to their joy and wholeness too.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:32-34
Dream your biggest and most wonderful dreams, and then live it! There is amazing wonder, overwhelming beauty and magnificence in your life and for that matter every life, go find yourself a mirror and check it out! Nothing is impossible for you, do you believe that? Believe it because it’s true, not only for the leaders of this world or the rich, but for you too.
