hey jeez! where did u get those magic mushrooms again??
Drop the pretense! You are a creator, and you cannot help but to create. The question then is:
Why did you create magic mushrooms in the first place? What were you thinking? (I'm refering to your "higher" Self).
The next question is:
What will you create now in each moment?
Far beyond the great thrill of the magic of creating events or objects in third dimensional reality are the qualities that you create, such as peace, unlimitedness, forgiveness, compassion and wisdom. These too are creations.
So many of you upon your physical plane keep searching for some form of magic that will bring the Kingdom of Heaven to you. You cannot bring it to you. You've heard the phrase, "wherever you go, there you are", yes? You are God's creation. You are in Heaven now. Heaven is not a place. It is a state of unlimited and infinite creative power because it is the reflection of God's holy Mind.
Why not be one who practices being the presence of Heaven? If that seems too awesome or too far beyond you, then just play with it for five minutes a day.
Christ consciousness cannot be said to truly exist - for you - until you create it within yourself. Your union with God does not even exist - for you - until you decide to open to the lived experience of it. Much as a mushroom you have never tasted might as well not exist for you until you journey into the woods, pick it, and place it in your body. Nothing can be said to exist - for you - until you have tasted the lived experience of it.
So when you hear talk about enlightenment, when you hear talk about union with God, when you hear talk about unconditional love, stop nodding your head thinking you know what these things are, and turn your attention within. Do you abide in a lived experience of these things? Immediately you will know the answer.
If your answer is, "No, I hear talk about enlightenment and I get little glimpses, but I don't really know what it is because I'm not feeling it completely in my lived experience," right away you will know that there must be something that you have valued other than enlightenment that you are insisting remains in place in your consciousness. What is it? Search it out, find it and decide whether you still want it.
There are many in your world that like to walk around as if they are in a state of peace with smiles upon their faces. Perhaps they carry the Holy Bible in their hand or some other such text. They wear some religious icon upon their body so as to create the appearance of one who is at peace. But inwardly, they are not at peace. When they turn on their television and they watch how the logger has felled yet another tree, inwardly they respond by calling that one "ignorant" or "stupid" or "limited".
Give yourself five minutes to practice choosing how you will experience sitting in a chair. Will you do so with a mind full of worry, or a mind full of peace? Five minutes of practice sitting in a chair as an infinite creator of exactly what you are experiencing in your emotional field. Just that. You might even want to play with what it would feel like to sit in a chair as a Christ. What would that feel like? I will let you choose whether or not you would like to experience it. Five minutes a day. Do it without fail! Be with yourself and decide how you will experience yourself now.
Utilize the process of sitting down in a chair as a symbol of preparing the mind for the dropping of a pebble into it, out of which will reverberate the vibrations or ripples that will come back to you. It is much easier to send out ripples and experience them when they come back in a blissful way, a way that brings you peace, joy, fun, laughter, play and unlimitedness, instead of having to constantly butt your head against something that you would rather transmute or run away from.
But it begins with five minutes, in which you acknowledge that you can create whatever experience you want, as a feeling floods through your awareness, as a quality of thought that you allow to keep repeating in the mind.
Do you think you would like to have that experience for five minutes? Why not begin today?
