I’d like to mention, that this anology came to me from Spirit, shortly before rising this morning.
The dream life is like a wheel chair. It is a place of limitation, restriction, self imposed trials. You mistakenly think that this is what you deserve; it is the place you are “put” because of your “attack” on your Father. The hidden belief that you must pay for your transgression plays out on a endless loop of video tape.
How do you leave such a wheelchair??
In some cases, little by little, some cases you have assistance to stand, some cases you leap up in one bound, totally uninhibited. The manner in which you leave is your choice. It is made by the decision of which style of living you would rather have.
The “security” of the wheelchair can seem very good, as safe and comfortable space. You appear to be out of harms way. Yet, this appearance hides the fact of your true security, your true harmlessness and invulnerability.
In leaving the wheelchair little by little, it appears to take much time and effort. It appears to take another “body” to give directions, to train the weak one how to stand, how to take steps, how to move, walk. The trainer builds strength in the weak one, so that eventually the strength is built back to free movement.
In cases where there is assistance to stand, sometimes it is enough to fill the weak one with inspiration and determination to be free from the chair. The choice for freedom cannot be denied and this “energy” fuels the body into action.
The leap out of the wheelchair is like a leap of faith. The choice for freedom is made without qualifiers, without compromise. There is an inner conviction inspired by a deep knowing and acceptance of the truth. The deep inner knowing transforms the little beliefs of specialness. The shift or mind correction occurs without effort. The limited thoughts are released. It is effortless to rise, walk or even fly.
In the dream life, you need the Trainer to give you certain direction, that will build your inner strength, that will develop the habit of asking the Trainer within for help. A new thought becomes strong with practice, with practice it becomes habit, until from habit it becomes the natural thing to do.
In the dream life, you have constant assistance, which is often denied. Or you think that you have a better outcome, then what is being offered you. You think you can know what makes for your happiness. Here is the choice of not deciding on your own, to take the assistance, and then appreciate the outcome and advance that you receive by accepting the assistance from the One Who knows.
In the dream life it seems to be impossible to have a leap of faith. This again is nothing more then choice. You could be instantly free of your limiting thoughts and restricting beliefs. You deny the power of your choice, the power of your mind, because accepting Love, you would have to deny that the dream world is real. You have limited yourself in the dream life, and are filled with anxiety at the idea of letting this life “go.” Still, when you reach your limit of pain, you decide that there must be something more then the endless circle of giving to take, defend and attack, hide and seek.
You have within you the place that you seek, the safety that seems to elude you, and the love that is beyond understanding. Within you is the key, the door and the Home that you search for while in the dream. A small taste of the truth, a sample of the peace, an inkling of the Love that abides within you, is all that you need to not find value in the dream as before. This truth, this peace and Love is biding within and calling you to return. Behind all the noise of the dream world, that Calling is there, the gentle urging, the quiet feelings of another way.
Choose to listen. Choose to receive. Choose to practice.
The better way is within you. The freedom is within you. The Love is within you. Always, Always, Always.
