Your Experience is Your Consciousness.

A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances. — James Allen.

All is well.

All is truly well. I’m speaking to you right now from the perspective of the Spirit. However, from the perspective of the body, you might respond to me, saying, ‘Okwy, all is not well over here.’ Of course, even though that makes human sense from your experience, spiritually speaking, it’s false, not the truth.

Yes, pain, lack, rejection, habitual failings, and seeming weakness probably depresses and demoralize you. I understand exactly how you feel because we are in this together, but I want to remind you that they are all fleeting. None of them is real! They are like the dream of the night and will soon be over when you realize this and wake up. A dream made by you all the same.

No sentiment in the Spirit.

There’s no sentiment in spirituality because spirituality is based on practical spiritual law. Our desire to run from or avoid what we call pain or evil is based on our ego. The ego consciousness creates the pain or evil as we call it but also doesn’t want to experience it. That is why the religious person cries and begs “God” for help, hoping that the Spirit will see their tears and come to their rescue, but it never happens. Some become disillusioned and conclude that God does not exist, and they are right, for the god they were taught is man-made, a fiction fabricated from the pit of human ignorance; it doesn’t exist.

Do you know the true reason the ego consciousness doesn’t want to experience the pain or evil it creates? Because the pain will utterly destroy the specific ego fang that created it, reducing its power over you, that’s another level of spiritual freedom for you, and the ego doesn’t want this. So you see, all things are working together for your good, even the so-called pain and evil.

Your Power to choose.

The moment you decide to follow a career path, the journey starts for you. From the point of that decision to the achievement of that career path, you go through a lot of hardship, pain, and experiences you wish you hadn’t had, but they happened all the same. You see that day you made that decision? That was the day you chose all those unpalatable experiences. You deserve what each of your pain or evil has to offer you.

You see, my friend, you cannot have what you do not deserve, in the same way, that a goat cannot conceive and give birth to a chicken because a goat deserves only a goat and a chicken, only a chicken… Everything in your life right now, both good and bad, you deserve it all, none is out of place, though you might kick against that thought, it’s nevertheless the truth. You made it all.

The ego consciousness is the only reason we want to have what we don’t deserve, and it’s the reason we steal from others. Religion teaches about such a grace that confers on us what we do not deserve, but it doesn’t exist; it’s a scam built on human sentiment. It’s just like any other scam out there. All our experiences are simply a manifestation of what is inside us, cheating is impossible. The ego consciousness wants to dodge the pain, while the spiritual consciousness wants to overcome the pain & its source and ascend further up the ladder of conscious spiritual evolution. The moment we embrace the spiritual consciousness, we rise above the ego consciousness & it’s fruit. So our focus is to embrace the Spirit, not to run away from the fruit of ego consciousness. Remember the prodigal son?

You see? All is well because all your experiences, both the ones you call good and the ones you call bad, are both the same thing, working for one purpose only: the triumphant emergence of your soul out of the cocoon of the ego and its subsequent ascension to the higher echelons of the spiritual consciousness.

Be your sibling’s keeper.

I am writing to you to remind you that pain is not something to avoid, escape from, or resist. It is something to embrace and when you do, you will see it for what it is; a dream of the night that passes in the morning. Life is for you, not against you. So let’s enjoy the trip while it lasts, and do not forget to encourage others when they become so blinded by pain that they forget that it is fleeting. Let your light so shine that others will find their way through it. Amen.

Always remember, all is well.
