The Eternal Choice
by MSI
Everyone on the planet is a piece of the Ascendant. Everyone reflects the Infinite light. This necessarily means that everyone is equally worthy of our love. Others’ actions, so horribly condemned by us when we believed that we can be hurt or victimized, begin to be seen as either expressions of love filtered through their individual nervous systems, or else as cries for our help. "Please demonstrate to me that you love me! Please show me that you will continue to care for me even if I fail chemistry or marry George or get fired! Please show me that you will still love me even if I hurt you."
The depth of the feeling of loneliness, of isolation, of fear combined with the extent of the feeling of victimization will determine the depth of the "negative" action employed by a soul seeking proof of love in a harsh Universe. In every case, it is a request for assistance. "I’m drowning here on Earth! Can’t anyone help me? You say you love! You dare to say you love me! Prove it to me! I’ll be bad, so very, very bad, because no one really truly loves me. You must prove it to me!"
This all means that there are only two kinds of actions on Earth, only two kinds of thoughts, only two kinds of feelings -- those which are based in love and those which are based in fear -- fear of being alone, lost, unloved. Thus any "negative" actions or feelings or words only deserve our compassionate understanding, never our punishment or judgment. They are cries for help, for love. " ‘Judgment is Mine,’ says the Lord," is a statement of fact. Human beings have no business judging others. There is only one judgment, and that is that all are worthy of love and worthy of love and worthy of love. God only says one thing to the human, and that is, "Yes." It is our job here to attempt to master such a depth of unconditional love.
This may not be particularly easy to do at first. Our usual habit is to feel that the world is a more or less hostile place, in which we are frequently (or always) victims of circumstance, people or place. We are often prone to feel that we are being taken advantage of. We often feel that others are attempting to control or manipulate us. We often take this to the extreme and believe there are dark forces in the Universe who are attempting to destroy our souls. We feel that energy flows toward us to control us or to be a victim -- either of other people, or of Satan, or of a jealous, vengeful God, or perhaps of impartial and uncaring natural law.
Victim Consciousness
We commonly feel like this:
In this state, we feel that everyone is looking at us at all times, that we are the center stage of our Universe.
This is, of course, literally true, but not in the way we are feeling and believing it to be in this state of Victim Consciousness. When enlightenment is stabilized, we know we are the center of the Universe, (as is everyone else); we never feel like a victim.
Our experience of others is now like this:
This is a state of continually giving love, joy, light, not taking. If the light bulb is turned on, it radiates light. There is no potential to be experiencing shadows, because there are no shadows anywhere that exist when we view life from this perspective. This is Seeing, this is the most effective way to exorcise the demons from our private Universe.
One characteristic of Victim Consciousness is the tendency to believe that life is being done to you, to feel that you are not the prime mover in the Universe, to feel that others have control over your feelings, moods and experiences. This belief frequently results in a desire to attack first, to strike out against others before they can strike out against you. This can occur physically -- a preemptive military strike is the most extreme example, but any action designed to hurt another qualifies as this kind of violence. This can also occur emotionally -- threats, pleading, anger are obvious examples.
If we believe that we can be hurt by another, it is only natural for us to believe that we can (and perhaps should!) attack first to save ourselves from the impending pain or destruction. The problem is that this doesn’t save us from pain. In fact, this tends to increase pain, both in ourselves and, to the extent that our opponents also feel like victims, in others.
The alternative is to culture a state of consciousness in which it is impossible ever to feel betrayed, for it is impossible ever to be betrayed.
If we view ourselves as bodies, then we can certainly be betrayed. We can be damaged -- we can be cut, bruised, shot, torn. And we can obviously damage ourselves: we can give ourselves hypertension, heart disease, cancer, the common cold; we can commit suicide; we can become insane.
But if we are spirit, it is impossible ever to betray or be betrayed. We cannot be damaged. We cannot be cut, bruised, shot, torn. We are, quite literally, invincible, indestructible, undying.
Some of us have realized this intellectually and others of us have attempted to live this state of consciousness by believing in it, by calling it grace or salvation or enlightenment and making a mood of living it: "Since I know logically that spirit is Omnipresent, I believe that I cannot be hurt in any way. My illness must be an illusion. I will therefore will it away."
Unfortunately, this rarely works. This is confusing the path to the goal for the goal itself. The only immediate advantage of this shift in perspective is the understanding that there is another way to view the Universe. Once this is realized, we naturally become eager to begin to develop this perception of life, for it means endless freedom, boundless joy, flawless love.
As an experience, not just a belief.
