One Size Fits All
How many of you have felt Divinely inspired in these times? Think about your life for a moment. Even recently, how often have you considered your temporal nature in this dimension? Have you worked at maximizing your effectiveness here, now?
At any given time, we in our physical bodies are only one breath away from loosing our tie to that physical nature. Time progresses, and we find ourselves having had many experiences and life's situations that have helped to mold and shape us. Do you feel that you are the sum of all of those experiences? Can you look back upon your life and say that you have learned and benefitted from all of those experiences, and that they all reside within you as a repository of wisdom?
How many of you believe that your experiences are tailored specifically (by your higher expression) for your benefit as an individuated spirit incarnate? Always for your highest and greatest good does the Divine Architect assist you in your evolution as a Spiritual Being. Do you believe that you are and elegant and sophisticated Divine spirit incarnate?
Is it possible that you are so fully connected to Divine Will that all of the orchestrations of your circumstances, "chance" occurrences, and situations have been predetermined to be the "best fit" with your personality, psychology, perspective and bias? Many of your lessons are negotiated by your higher expression in advance on the higher levels. Months may pass until the physical execution of the circumstance occurs.
Is there an unseverable part of you that helps the you that you believe for the moment is your totality exquisitely orchestrate these experiences? Is that unseverable part of you existent in a domain that many consider above them? Unreachable?
What part of air is not air? Of earth that is not earth? Of space that is not space? Ocean that is not Ocean?
What part of you and your Soul (Higher Self) is not you? Do you believe it is you and some other "expression?" There is a seamless connection, a Oneness, that is you and everything. The seamless connection fits all beings, no matter what you may "think."
In fact "one size fits all" means that there is no bigness or smallness of mind that you need seek if you realize that you are already connected, innately, to That That IS.
Sometimes, the last thing to catch on to what is happening in our lives is our own mind. That little eight-and-a-half pound mass of gray matter constituted in the third dimensional reality that navigates our course through it. And sometimes, the very worst victim circumstance is that we have become prisoners of our own minds.
Locked away in little cells called "bias and prejudice," "little or narrow thinking," "not invented here," "fear," our minds become compartmentalized into an infinite series of self-plugging orifices. Some may feel committed to living their lives on the oval racetrack of limited thought. They may not be getting anywhere, but they're making great time! The things we fill our mind with. Do you choose your thoughts, making conscious decisions moment to moment; living the now?
Embarking upon the spiritual life avails your mind of tools that are innately yours, but not born solely of this dimension. True to your nature, you are not solely of this dimension. There is so much to our true nature that often goes unnoticed in the living of everyday life. Being a spirit incarnate, you have more ties with your spiritual nature than with your physical nature.
Sometimes the lessons here in the physical can be so stringent and intense, we seek relief by exiting this plane for the peace of other, less hectic and painful realms. Many of you today are seeking relief from emotional trauma by visiting the astral realm and other lower dimensions (just vibrationally above this one) with your consciousness while still inhabiting the physical form, albeit with only a small percentage of the "you" in the physical form.
Perhaps it is easier to deal with the flood of emotional processing that we do by vacating our thrones of empowerment and supplicating our natures to the whims of others in passive-aggressive and codependent relationships. It is not for want of self-injury that we do this. You are not pernicious by nature, nor do you seek to lower yourself.
There are many reasons why we find ourselves not in our power, but eventually the light of our spiritual nature shines through the effects of our choices, karmic influences, and situations if we allow it to do so.
God is no respecter of persons, and it matters not what your past actions have been in order to grasp the grandeur of your spiritual nature. You may find many paths and many teachers, but the best teacher resides within you and your heart. In those many paths today you may find confusion; certainly if you continue to look outside of yourself for the answers. The sources you look to are meant to inspire, evoke, and sometimes provoke the spark of true life within you that accesses all the limitless Love, Light, and Wisdom that is your Divine birthright. Every path has you in mind. Every one you attempt has some value, as they are all aspects of you and your intention to rise in successive levels of Light; liberation from limited thinking and limited breadth of experiences.
Everyone you meet will always and in some way point you toward your own Spiritual unfoldment and Self-empowerment. Self-awareness is your goal; to fully realize (put into action) your Divine potential.
All things tend toward perfection, and it is by your very nature that you may find situations uncomfortable as a result of your deepest yearnings and desires to grow into your Divine potential. That you should live a meaningful and fulfilling life is an absolute. Those uncomfortable times signal the tugging by your Higher Self towards thoughts and actions that are more harmonious and God-Centered.
All of us have been through various struggles and trials; each tailored to our specific needs in order to bring out the best of the specific skill sets we incarnated with. That you should go through tests is the life's lessons; but you can choose your reactions during these tests. And you can maintain your focus on what you will.
If you knew ahead of time that somewhere along the Spiritual continuum you were constructing your own tests, would it affect the outcome of the next trial you encounter? If you knew ahead of time that you have all the skills and abilities necessary to weather any trial; would that affect the outcome as well? Spiritual references in holy writings such as the Bible speak of you not being tested beyond what you are able. I'm sure you may say that you've come pretty close, though.
One size fits all. We all have equal access to our Divine Potential. None of us is greater in access to another. If you conceive of a holiness or a sacredness in the Universe; it is composed of limitless Light, Love and Wisdom that compassionately guides you through experiences. Have you ever thought that there was "no way" you were ever going to get out of certain situations, yet you survived, somehow? The Universal Mind has many, many more answers than your physical mind. You are always a part of the Universal Mind, whether you know it or not. Working in mysterious ways, as we have been taught, our Higher Selves always access the answer that is "just right" for our situation.
Through prayer and meditation, you align yourselves with Divine purpose so that the outcome of circumstance is "optimized" to your specific needs. Synchronous living is allowing your Higher Self to flow through into your daily affairs, moment to moment. Synchronicity is the realization of the Universal Mind at the physical level; the awareness that we are multidimensional beings composed of limitless power and Love. Things just "fall into place" when we are led not by the lower egoic desires, but by alignment to Truth at the Highest Levels, levels that transcend our mind's own awareness.
Trusting in the Truth may at times be difficult. You may feel as though you are the only one in a group who stands out; alone in your belief. You must seize the Truth in your heart as you would hold on to something you Cherish Most. The Truth will set you free, but it may first anger you in making you release old habits, notions, and behaviors that no longer serve you or the Path you are on.
Sometimes the hardest thing we ever do is to give up an old behavior. Perhaps it was comfortable or a convenient diversion so that you would never have to focus on the real issues. Perhaps it was karmic, and having fulfilled its requirements releasing you now into another phase of growth.
One size truly fits all. The One size is the absolute infinitude of the Universe. Love. Light. Truth. Wisdom. They all fit you perfectly.
You are the same, but different. Look at different chapters in your life. Examine how you felt about the world and your place in it at various chapters. Are you different now? How? Can you do the same things now that you did 5 years ago? 10 years ago? Would they feel the same? Your ego is never the same, moment to moment; the availability of Light and Love to come into your life is the same. Your perspective on life may shift every moment, but the constancy of Divine Guidance, Love, Light, and Wisdom is the same.
You may live in the third dimension and may live by its rules of temporality (time) and spatiality (physical measurement), but your spiritual nature transcends it. The same way psychics and energy healers access information and energy not of this dimension, your own being is in constant communication with several levels of reality simultaneously. When you begin to understand the grandeur of your True Nature, you avail yourself of spiritual growth in ways that are tailored for you because you are an individuated spirit, composed of free will to choose your reality.
Study, if you will, metaphysics, laws of nature, the elemental and devic kingdoms, chakra and meridian systems, spiritual philosophy, etc. Know that whatever you apply yourself to, you are enveloping yourself in the folds of the garments of God, swaddling yourself in garments of truth that liberate one from narrow thinking and behavior. It matters more the intention you set than the subject you study, for your Higher Purpose is always focused on the Journey Home, and will lead you to those studies most pertinent to your development. Align with that, and the things you study will be all the sweeter and the moments all at their peak of experience.
Never alone, you are assisted by numerous guides, angels, masters, and specialists, who are also aware of you specific needs and skills. You are a being of co-creation. You make conscious choices, and the Universe responds to those choices. Align your choices with Divine Will, and the outcome is more elegant and optimized. Your guides co-create with you. You are assisting them on their path as well as they are assisting you on yours. Realize that one may have several guides and that some will come and go, but you are never alone in the Oneness. These guides are helping you: invoke their assistance. As for help, you can never ask too much nor are there any questions you cannot ask.
The results, however, may not match your expectations. Expectations are linear in substance. An expectation is based on the memory the mind retains of events in this lifetime and others, but it is based in the past, and as such is limited in scope of possible outcomes. It is better to set your intention to the question you frame when doing the asking.
And ask you shall. Your every thought and nuance of feeling is registered on the higher levels. Nothing you do goes unnoticed, though at times you may feel so at the physical level. The intention with which you perform you deeds, the true motivation behind your desires; all is registered in the higher levels and is understood in ways that emanate to the center of your being. Stripping away the ego, your heart of hearts is known, now only on the Higher levels but by your own Higher Self.
Calling all of your awareness into every moment makes you the master of that moment. Choosing your responses in the moment in mastery is better than merely reacting to the moment. Deciding to be in control of your behavior is liberating.
The most oppressing of your lessons is in reality the most liberating. Pray and meditate on the answer. Let the answer be brought to you as it is. Most often you must change your thinking in order to understand the answer. You must change your thinking in order to fit the facts of new evidence. Most of us have changed the facts in order to fit the new evidence, at one time or another in our lives. It doesn't matter in the overall, because we know from experience that the lessons keep coming to us over and over until we "get it."
Did you notice that the lessons may start out very subtle, then increase in intensity until we learn from it? Some people have exited the planet; made their transition rather than face the lesson this time around. Some have languished for years under stunting thought-forms until the light of dawn literally strikes them awake. Some people have had to have an "NDE" (Near Death Experience) in order to awaken their gifts.
You know, the lessons you undergo are not specifically for your own benefit. You are here incarnate with many other souls who surely benefit from you grasping your lessons. Have we not examples in our lives of those people whom we would love to emulate? We see qualities in them we love. What would happen if those people decided not to use their gifts? Would you consider them less if they decided not to shine as an example for you and your growth? Bringing people and events into your life are reflections, aspects of yourself that you are projecting in order to work on issues.
Honing your skills and gifts in this lifetime not only embellishes your life with spiritual growth, but the same laws that govern metaphysics propagate your good actions into many realms. All benefit from your good actions. All rise in consciousness when you decide to. Whether others do or not is their choice. The domain of the refractive energies of your choices is the totality of the Universe. Perhaps a little bigger sphere of influence than you previously had thought?
One size fits all. You are intimately linked physically and energetically to everyone and everything. You cannot escape the connectedness of such a link, though surely many have tried. Evoke the knowledge of the link and the seamless stream of Divine attributes increases in flow into your awareness. While some may have reduced the flow of spirituality in their riverbed of consciousness to a trickle, others will increase the influx of Spiritual essence from bank to bank, holding as much Divine spark as their physical vessels will hold.
Which do you choose? At what moment will you choose to accept your greatness? Would sometime next year be a good time? Next month? Now?
You may find that the essence of living the Spiritual life involves making that very decision moment to moment, and each moment counts in living a self-empowered, self-aware existence. Knowing that everyone you meet has been preorchestrated to evolve you further, should you decide so, sets your disposition so that every moment becomes sacred and cherished.
What will you do with such power, as one size fits all; one Universal Presence fits every character neatly and succinctly. No matter your personality, you are imbued with Divine attributes so you may transcend the mud of ego through the waters of emotional trauma and drama to bloom in the fresh air of the spiritual life, as the lotus.
How will you choose to embrace the world in which you have incarnated? What will you do with such power? How would you help to improve the quality of life here on Earth? No matter your personality, allow the sweet caresses of the Spiritual Heart essence to uplift your being to where it already belongs, for you are coming Home on your Great Journey.
