I want to be happy, so I have to... just stop. My husband is cheating on me, so I have to... just stop. I'm all alone, so I could... just stop. I want to be rich, so I should invest... just stop. I'm depressed, so my Dr. says I have to... just stop. There are wars going on all over the world, so we should all... just stop. I want to be an enlightened being, so I have to... just stop. I just can't stand him, so I should... just stop.
Are we getting the point? What exactly have you ever successfully accomplished in your entire life? Did you ask for the cancer to show up? Did you have any control over whether or not it was cured? Did you make your spouse cheat on you or did they do that on their own? Do you truly believe that working hard makes you rich? Rich people get rich by stepping on other people. Rich people get rich by being born into riches. Rich people get rich by luck. It's all a lie so you will keep working to make them richer.
Can you control the fact that you are alone right now? People just seem to randomly seem to show up in our lives whether we want them there or not. Did you grow your body at a molecular level from a baby to an adult or did that just happen naturally? When your depressed, does anything you do ever seem to help? Certain things help for a short time, like medication and exercise but the depression seems to decide when it comes and go, and we seem to be at its mercy.
What exactly can you do? What exactly is under your control? Nothing. You are a spirit watching the physical virtual reality of life play out. You are simply a character within the game of life who has gotten so deep into its character that you believe you are the character. We spend all of our time thinking about our character and how to make it better. How to make our character rich, smart, strong, popular, healthy, and so on. In truth the character isn't real, it is simply a character in the dream called life. Humans are in a collective dream of physical virtual reality.
Notice how you can feel pain, pleasure, fear, anger, joy, and Love in your night dreams when your character is recharging. The mind within the character creates the sensations as if they were real and you feel them as if they were happening and yet when you wake to your day, you find no harm had come upon you. The waking world is a collective dream where humans believe it to be their reality, too terrified to wake up from the dream, most can't or won't admit it is a dream. Humans fight their pretend wars in order to remain in the dream. Humans "take the lives" of themselves and others in order to prove the dream to be real. Death as humans know it, is simply waking up from the dream of physical reality. The dream of the character vanishes.
Humans create their own misery and suffering by trying to control the character that they have been assigned to watch by becoming identified with the character. Some humans realize they are in a dream and spend years attempting to wake the character up from the dream, not realizing they are still identified with the character. What can humans do? Just watch. Humans get to watch the movie of life play out. Humans have the choice (free will) to just watch the character and enjoy the show or become identified with the character and make a mess of themselves trying to do something. Humans know they can't reach into a television and become a character on the screen, yet they believe that they became the character on earth.
Earth is one of the most coveted places around by all beings. Earth is where spirit gets to go watch life play out in all its glory and majesty. Going from spirit to physical can be confusing and humans confuse themselves with the character in the movie. When spirit watches as life plays out instead of being identified with the character, life and everything in it becomes indescribable. Wars mean nothing, death has never existed, no one can do anything wrong, and when it's all over, we wake up to the spirit. Peace and Love!
