Has anyone ever told you, that you can be anything?
That you can do anything?
That you can have anything?
That you are a totally unlimited, free, sovereign being who can create any kind of life for yourself at all?
And upon hearing those words, rather than feeling excited or relieved or joyful - you instead felt terrible?
Heavy? Weighed down? Crushed?
Maybe it made you feel nervous? Anxious? Confused?
Maybe it made yo feel a little like you wanted to punch whoever said it to you in the face?
If so, there is nothing wrong with you.
You Are Not God Soup - Right Now Anyway
You see, you are a unique, individual soul.
You are of course all that is and all that will ever be. You are one with all things. You are, at your core, connected to and a part of everything. So in this way, you are unlimited potential.
But.
You are also having a SPECIFIC experience.
The reality of your situation here on earth, in your body, in your lifetime, in your circumstances, in your - everything - is that you are a 'you.'
It is very common in the spirituality circles to get overly attached to the idea of being 'one with all that is.' To be in the mindset of unity. To endeavor to leave the 'ego' behind and blend back into the God Soup state of feeling that you are totally connected and resonating with everything and everyone around you.
But let's be honest - even that experience is one that is going to be filtered through 'you.' Even the 'being one with all' experience requires that you have a contrasting 'being me' experience, and it requires that you have a 'me' to have that experience!
As you mature along your path here on Earth, one of the things you are going to notice is that your task is really not to get anywhere. It is not to manipulate or change reality. It is not to transcend what is happening.
Reality Is As It Is For A Good Reason
The real point is to come closer and closer to being totally and completely at peace with what is. To be in a state of recognizing the perfect dance of all that is, and to simply float along with it. To participate in life with that beautiful detached awareness knowing you are a part of everything, that is simultaneously experienced with the compete commitment to your reality.
You will find that true spirituality is not about getting rid of anything.
It is not about stepping out of your 'ego' or letting go of your personality or your individual experiences. If it were, this life would be a pretty mean, devastating and impossible to navigate trick - don't you think?
The thing is, you are looking out through your own eyes for a reason.
You Are You For A Good Reason
You came here to do YOUR path that is encoded into YOUR DNA for a reason.
It is no mistake that you have predispositions, preferences, likes, dislikes, emotions that lead and guide you, a specific body, that you had specific parents, a specific financial status - so on and so forth.
It was all to perfectly and uniquely orchestrated for you to then have to turn around and get rid of all of it so that you can go back to being unlimited potentiality.
The whole web of all of us together is what makes up the unlimited potential.
You as a unique individual represent a specific aspect of that potential.
So the truth is, you can't do or be anything.
You can do or be anything that YOU uniquely truly WANT to be. That specific set of desires that you have are the exact right ones to pull your soul along on its perfect path.
And you doing your specific thing, is what expands all of us. You sitting there trying to get rid of what you are so you can be everything is not the point. In fact, it is counter to the point. You can tell because it is counter to REALITY.
To think that you could be a doctor or a lawyer or a contortionist or a Buddhist monk or a sandcastle - isn't really true.
So let go of the everything.
Let go of trying to 'be' oneness and God Soup of unlimited potential.
You are already a part of that.
You are already that.
This lifetime is about this. Who you are, and how you can express that to the fullest, most joyful potential.
Which starts with admitting and owning that you are you.
That you have preferences.
That you have things you want to do, and things you could care less about.
That you are not here to be and do and experience everything.
You are specific.
Own that specificity.
It is holy to be specific.
Feel the freedom in that?
You can be, do and have anything YOU desire.
You.
<3
