My Dear Ones,

BATTLEFIELD OR ADVENTURE?

Last week I left you with the question for contemplation:

Can we see life as an adventure rather than a battle for survival?

This is a choice we have that we need to be aware of. Caught in the battle to survive we lose the freedom to view life in any other way. We may feel that we are a victim of the forces of life that seek to destroy our peace of mind and state of well-being. Certainly, we exist in a world where survival of the fittest seems to rule. A world where there is injustice, unfairness, hate, greed and selfishness, where no one may seem to care for us or love us at times when it matters most. When we are faced with this and there seems to be no way out we may lose faith in the existence of a Higher Power and its benevolent presence in our lives. We become a victim and live in the darkness of defeat and hopelessness. It is very difficult in this case to see anything else. If only we could see that we have given away our freedom and are caught in our own self-created emotional prison. How can we lift ourselves from such a dark space that seems so real to us in those moments?

In those moments we lose all sense of our great inner power. We seem to be like lions hypnotized into 'sheep awareness'! We lose the vision that we have the power to make the Universe work for us if we use the power of intention, positive thinking and emotional intelligence. We need to self-reflect and see how our thoughts of being a victim hold us in that space and keep us there. In that self-reflection we need to shift to a space using intelligence and will, two powerful gifts in the human experience, where we can see more possibilities that exist for us. This is a leap into freedom. Here we see that we have the choice to think negative or positive, to be emotionally hopeful or hopeless. There is such a powerful shift in energy when we see and embrace this difference. Suddenly, the glass of life becomes half-full and not half-empty anymore. The battlefield of survival becomes a field of exploration of possibilities - an adventure. The victim disappears and an adventurer emerges. If it is difficult to make this shift we need to seek the company of those who live in a space of freedom. Those who have learned to see the adventure that life is. Those who can guide us to our own space of power.

In learning more about our own power we learn to co-create our destiny in our intelligent Universe using the power of thought, emotion and intention. These are powerful tools that we possess that can make such a difference in our lives. However, we need to learn how to protect ourselves from the dangers of their misuse and how to use them effectively to achieve what we want. The Universe provides us with all possibilities, even to become a victim! So with such power we need to learn how to be responsible for our own well-being and future.


Yours in service,
