“Every soul is born for a certain purpose,
and the light of that purpose is kindled in his soul”
Sa‘di (Persian poet and mystic)
Let’s pretend for
a minute...What if we didn’t come here to pass a test? Or earn gold stars? What if there is no
judgement at the end? What if we came for something far more
intimate. We came to touch, to taste, to fall in love with color and chaos.
This Earth—wild, sensual, imperfect— what if it was never meant to be a prison,
but a playground? What if it was designed as a canvas, a living invitation?
But somewhere
along the way, we forgot.
But deep in our
bones, in every laugh, every heartbreak, every sunrise, something ancient
whispers: This is the joy I came for......
What if this LifeTime
is an Experiment in Joy? ... ‘The Joy
Experiment’
What if, before
our earthly birth, we were basking in the vast all-knowing Consciousness of the
All. Where
deep joy, bliss, tranquility and harmony fill the space. But one day we decided to leave the
nest. To experience what it is like to;
Create, Play, and have Fun. All in a
very sensual environment.
What if we knew
there would be a cost. The cost of
hardship, loss, defeat, pain and death. But
we came anyway. Using the experience
for pleasure. Using the experience to understand
how to use our spirit to master a physical body and manifest beauty into the
Universe. To explore our perceived
limitations. To create a Shangri-La, a physical
realm that is harmonious, exotic and peaceful.
What if we
thought of this earthly life like an adventure?
We go on
vacations. Vacations are an
adventure. We go on vacations to
experience something new. Places that
have different cultures, languages, customs, weather, topography. Places that we have never experienced
before. And since we aren’t in our
comfy home, things happen. Our luggage
gets lost, we run into strangers that become friends, we gain a fresh
perspective. That is the whole point
of a vacation and the whole point of an adventure.
All adventure
teaches us about ourselves. How we
respond to new stimuli. New stimuli forces us to be more supple, to fully engage. It can bring the worst out of us or the best
out of us. But the adventure in some
way always exposes and elevates our awareness. It takes us to a new viewpoint, a new
perspective. An angle of viewing life
differently than when we started.
We might be
better off viewing this lifetime like an adventure. Instead of some type of concocted morality
test. A place to hone skill sets,
test our resolve, challenge our spirits, create and manifest in a physical,
sensual environment.
And just like a
vacation, this adventure creates a deliberateness in our actions. We choose to
purposefully and deliberately have fun, deliberately focus on our passion,
deliberately focus on loving those we encounter and deliberately striving to
stay true to our higher selves. Bringing
Divine peace to every moment.
To make our
adventure realistic, just like a game, it has three intriguing characteristics:
1) We can’t perceive the future.
2) We are veiled from the spirit world and the
heavens. And from the full essence of
our true Divine Nature.
3) And the game has a time limit, we call
death.
And our
participation in this adventure provides something to the All.
It provides the
All with our unique experience. An
experience, a piece of knowledge, a unique perspective that could be garnered
in no other way. Because each of us is
a very singular point in the cosmos. A
very singular perspective, a singular unique lens into the universe. And our lens, our experience becomes a
piece of history, a part of the vast knowledge of the All, an archive in the
universal library.
So, it is our
adventure that creates a particular aspect of the universe. We are God’s manifestors! We are manifesting the experiences of the All
to the All.
So why not create a Shangri-La while we are here? The most perfect realm possible. Give up our pettiness. Work out of our passions. Be
kind to ourselves. Make ourselves
joyous. If we always choose what is right for us
first, with no harm to others, we will naturally become joyous. No judgement. Everyone gets to step into
their best Divine Self, not what we think they should do or be. And the
joy of being our true selves, is like a gushing spring of pure cold water. Refreshing ourselves and all those around
us. We should be in gratitude that we have the opportunity for this
adventure. A place where we know we can
push ourselves and have the resistance we need to realize the depth, and strength
and joy of our Divinity. The joy of our inherent
Divine Nature.
