A new view of reality - Why We Suffer by Wynn Free
Once upon a time you and I were part of God. It’s not that we’re not part of God now, because we still are. The difference is we knew it back then, so because we knew it, we could act like it was so. When we acted like it was so, we were able to have anything we wanted, after all God is the creator, so in as much as we were part of God, so were we creators too. As fast as we could conceive of something, it would manifest and exist. With one exception; since everyone else was also part of God, we couldn’t create anything that would violate someone else’s Godliness.
For a while it was great fun. But eventually it got boring. So we all made an agreement to forget that we were part of God. And since we were Creators, we had the power to do that. We would create a planet, put bodies on that planet and then inhabit the bodies. But we wouldn’t remember we did that, once we inhabited the bodies. Of course, when we died, we would remember, but the way we set up the game was that until we could remember who we were while we were in a body, we would have to keep returning to that planet in new bodies. But there would be endless chances. And as soon as we would remember who we were, we could transform ourselves and have anything we wanted once again, as we reconnected with the power of the God/creator self inside us.
Most of us didn’t remember. We did things the hard way. Nothing came easy. And we suffered. We had long ago forgotten our origins and were living in a state of amnesia. We made up our own rules and did our best, but unfortunately our best wasn’t very good. We got all kinds of aches and pains. There was always this sense of isolation, loneliness, and confusion. But there also were numerous clues. For example, every night we would go to sleep and in our dreams, we would return to that place of original creation where we could, once again, have anything we wanted. And so we did. In our dreams we could have it all. But every morning, we would once again wake up in our state of amnesia and have to do everything the hard way.
So the original creator God decided to give us a little help. Various reminder people were allowed to show up in bodies; people like Lao Tzu, Buddha, Muhammad, and Jesus. On one hand, this violated the original rules of our game, but as a group, we were suffering so much that we petitioned the Big Guy for help and this is how he gave it. These new guys could speak great wisdom. The reminder people told us “why do everything by the sweat of your brow” when you could “put the kingdom of heaven first and all other things would be added.” They were able to remember that they were part of God and could create whatever they thought as long as it didn’t violate anyone else’s reality. And people did listen. And they were inspired. Except, the people kept thinking that these new guys were part of God but they themselves weren’t, so they put them on pedestals and worshiped them, even when they were directly told that “these things I do, you can also do and much more.”
The people continued to suffer because they had very limited ability to invoke their God/creator self. They continued to doing everything the hard way. Oh occasionally they would pray to one of those reminder people who were now exalted on pedestals. But most of them missed the real message. They mimicked the words and lived in the constant fear that they were doing something wrong. And they were going to be punished. The Big Guy had become a wrathful Father, separate from them instead of a loving support system. And that was OK, because eventually they would figure it out. Perhaps not in this lifetime. Perhaps not even in the next thousand lifetimes. But eventually they would tire and pay attention to their dreams and get the idea. They would understand the real message of those who had come to remind them.
If you happen to be one of those people who is still suffering and perhaps don’t believe in God, or entertain the thought that God has abandoned you, or put others on pedestals above you, or live in fear and guilt that you’re doing something wrong, here’s a key to awakening the God/ Creator inside yourself. Act as if it’s so. Assume that it is true and see if there’s a shift in the world around you. You must prove to yourself beyond a shadow of a doubt that it works this way. This is the meaning of faith – acting as if it’s so before you know. Eventually you will get an experience and you won’t have to imagine anymore; that you can think about something and it can occur as long as you don’t violate someone else’s reality. (also you must create the physical circumstances where it has the possibility of happening.
For example, if you want a job, you must make yourself available where jobs exist.) Also, when your wish does manifest, it may not look like a miracle. It might just look like a coincidence. But you’ll recognize it and know what it is. Ask for things to happen that are in “the highest good of everyone concerned”. You were created in God’s image ultimately to be an equal partner with Him. But this equal partner business might take millions of years of training. After all, if you’re going to be equal, you’ll have to know how to create an entire Universe. But that’s down the road. For most of us, loving our wife and kids and earning a living is about all we can handle. But it’s all part of the training. Are you better than your children because you were first? The very first step is faith. Make believe it’s so and see what happens. And be patient. Sometimes it takes a while to break down the patterns that you’ve grown accustomed to. And perhaps, you still really want to do things the hard way. Perhaps you’re one of those who have grown overly familiar with their suffering and would rather stay in the reality, which is comfortable. After all, if you should ever finally succeed, at least you’ll know that you did it all yourself and you can take all the credit, without any outside help from the part of yourself we’ve identified as God.
But if you are one of those who are reaching the point of being sick and tired of your suffering and would like to try a different approach, perhaps a much faster track, try imagining that this story is true. Don’t believe it, but try it on for size. If part of you is also part of God and if you can call on that part of yourself, perhaps you’ll get an answer and something will transform in the physical world around you and you’ll have your own personal validation. Not only will the circumstances of your suffering shift, not only will you be able to see God inside everyone else, but step-by-step you will be able to create a life full of love, joy and miracles. And you might even get to be one of those reminder people yourself. And it won’t be much longer (give or take a million years) that you’ll be out there creating planets, solar systems and universes yourself.
