A while ago, I shared a post #JustAThought … Our Lives – Our Illusions. Let’s revisit this topic and recall that when we are living in an illusion, that illusion creates our reality. However, we are not supposed to live a certain illusion but are free to choose. It is in making a decision what kind of illusion I want to live in. As I have shared many times before, in deciding how I want to see the world and my life (what attitude I want to adopt), I will experience everything that happens within that context.

If I decide to be a winner, I will see a gain in every little thing that happens. Where others, who chose a different illusion (consciously or unconsciously), may see failures, I see the conditions working in my favor. If I see myself as a loser, even in the slightest success, I will see myself as failing, whereas others may already be experiencing a breakthrough. Depending on my decision, I will perceive the elements working for or against me. My decision could lift my expectations above (and therefore blind me to) the journey that makes the difference in the experience of one and the same situation.

Now, if I believe that the reality I live in is an illusion, in which I am not bound to anything, it makes it so much easier to check out several illusions – just for fun or to see which one serves me better. Anyway, both decisions are ok. Both decisions prove that we are the creators, not only helpless passengers. We can truly be what we want to be, and we will always find proves and options to live our illusions successfully. Neale Donald Walsch compares that to a hall of mirrors. We are provided with everything to live our illusions to the fullest.

Again, I refer to the first part of this matter: We are One! The illusion I decide to live, influences others’ decisions – we may call it opinions, inspiration, motivation, … When I change something, I throw a pebble into the water, which causes ripples. Neale Donald Walsch threw pebbles with his books (or a particular chapter of his book), which I just read. Its ripples touched me and made me throw another pebble in writing this post. The comments on it will again cause ripples that may inspire adjusted decisions in me or some of those who read them.

However, seeing life as an illusion that we can change or create every day, every moment, leads me to the clear conclusion (again) that there is barely an encompassing truth about reality or life in general down here. This physical life is our playground to explore ourselves with all our senses in any way we choose.
My truth – seen from my point of awareness is more solidified than ever: Love/God/the Universe are the only truth there is. We are part of that consciousness that experiences itself with every freedom to live the reality it chooses. While it experiences itself, it serves the ultimate consciousness. Now, if love is all there is, then we must be part of love’s/God’s/the Universe’s consciousness.

In this context, I learned something really profound (in my opinion):
Since we come from consciousness, we don’t need to reach consciousness – we already are consciousness. This concludes one crucial insight:
In living our chosen illusion, we don’t discover life’s gems and the one big truth, but we uncover it. It is not a secret to discover but a fact that lies in the Here and Now to be uncovered again.
Everything we experience in our chosen illusion leads us to the revelation.

The last sentence leads me to the answer God gave when asked why He lets so much tragedy, hunger, suffering, and injustice happen: “You got me all wrong”. God is not our servant who removes any obstacle. He provides everything for us to be free to be and experience everything we want and need on this playground to uncover who we really are and remove those obstacles ourselves. This is what I concluded part 1 #JustAThought … Our Lives – Our Illusions with: We cannot blame God for the freedom of living a reality we chose to live.
Therefore, I cannot repeat it enough: If I want a change, I must be that change. Because I am the only one living my individual illusion.

If I accept the idea that my life is an illusion, created by myself,
I let go of the idea that my truth is the ultimate truth.
Whatever is changeable cannot be real truth.
Real truth is a constant.

In Love and Light
