Co-Creator in Life:

We have taught our minds to think that life is what we experience. The reality is that LIFE IS the constant source of all existence. What we experience is the effect of what we make of life. We are constantly choosing how to shape our own life.

Let’s think about our favorite dish. We have all the ingredients to create that dish the way that we envision, now when we let it burn, we call it bad . What made of that particular delicious dish an unhappy experience? We did! We thought we had to overcook it. We do the same thing with life. All the ingredients are available to us to experience happiness. We have energy to maintain a healthy, perfect body. We have substance to shape into every desire of our hearts. We have love to interact with all the different expressions of God, and to appreciate ourselves. We have a vast Universe where we can play and manifest beauty. We have many powers as we have studied this year: Faith, Love, Strength, Wisdom, Power, Imagination, Understanding, Will, Order, Zeal, Renunciation and Life as tools to aid us in joyful living. Our Father’s business is about abundance, harmony, wholeness, beauty...happiness!!! And it is God’s Will to give us the Kingdom of Heaven, according to Jesus’ teachings. Spirit created us to enjoy the magnificence of being His/Her image and likeness.

Living by faith does not just mean that we believe this will be true some day...It means that we believe we are created to be happy, it means we know the Universe is providing for all of us in abundant, wonderful, perfect ways, it means we believe that everyone is a God incarnated , and as so we are loving and experience love everywhere. We have the faith to see all that in the appearance of the contrary. And our faith tell us that GOOD is true NOW! So we persist on experiencing IT in all circumstances.

We have experienced life from the beginning, and we will experience life eternally. It is our free will to decide what to do with life. Judas saw life in a different way than Jesus did. According to Eric Butterworth’s book: Discover the Power Within You , Judas recognized Jesus’ potential and he set a trap for him, expecting that would make him react, and he would use his powers for glory and riches, etc. However Jesus’ vision was broader. He was not contented with the things that would come to pass...His focus was on letting the Christ Mind fully express in Him. The Mind that glorifies existence all the time, not just in one single physical experience. Let’s think about this for a moment: If Jesus had fallen into the temptation of worldly riches and glory, today we would remember a great magician who did wonderful demonstrations two thousand years ago. Because of His broader intention, He overcame limitations, including death. And the best of all He taught us about the same power in each of us!

The world is celebrating Christmas again. It happens once a year, but in our hearts it happens constantly, for we were created into life already pregnant(yes men you too!) with the Spirit of the Lord. The difference with this pregnancy is that we choose when to deliver. Jesus did it already...we stay in labor, complaining about the pains and the burdens.

Life is about experiencing. We have thought life is about doing something, and when we do, we are anxious about our responsibilities and by the time this physical experience come to an end, we have not enjoyed half of what we were supposed to. Someone said: Do less, experience more . Does not that sound like a Yes!!!? It does not mean wait to be catered by the universe while we procrastinate about life. It means change our thinking, our belief system, tune in to the universe, enjoy the co-creation and experience life the way it is meant to be! As we do that, we envision the great picture, without being attached to the things that will come to pass, we enjoy them knowing that they are meant to aid us in living abundantly, but they are not ours to keep. Life always bring greater experiences into our existence, when we cling to what we are, or what we experience today, no matter how good they are, then we leave no space to enjoy even greater things.

Let’s deliver this Christ Mind already in joy, peace and order! Experiencing THE LIFE fully, and Thanking Spirit for the privilege and freedom to Co-create a wonderful, beautiful, peaceful universe.

Merry Christmas!
