In A Pickle

MAP

What in the world?

What?

Exactly.  What in the world?  Do you see what you see in the world?

I suppose so.  What else could I see? 

Anything you want.  What you see is what you get. Remember I said seeing is in the mind not the eyes.

Whatever you want to see is how you will see it.

Change what you see and change what you get.

Aah.  This goes back to my 5:00 AM question the past couple of days.

Which was?

I don’t recall exactly but it was along the lines of how can we see what is going on in the world right now differently.  What if the violence, oil spill, political pandering, economic issues, etc. are all supposed to happen and we saw them differently.

They are all supposed to happen.  You have been on this path for a very long time.  You can see the forest and the trees.

For some of you this time is about awakening, to see how this puzzle you have been building is not forming a picture, at least the picture you want to see.



Do we have to start all over?

It’s a bit too late for that.  The dynamics you have created are here for a reason, it is part of your experience.

From that point of view, why would you want to get rid of that.  You might have to repeat it all if you did.

We could learn from our past.

You don’t do that very well.  You tend to make the same situations happen on ever increasing larger scales.

That is the pickle you are in now.  How much further can you grow in your current situation?

Not very far – but to you it may seem like a very long time – long enough to tell yourself you don’t have to really worry.



I thought you said growing is what we were here to do.  Grow and change.

First off, you don’t have to grow to change and second, your growth is being done within a mindset of limitations rather than abundance.

You can grow forever in abundance.  The balloon will pop with limitations.

You have a hard time seeing anything but limitations because you live within a world that has beginnings and ends.

You created that world by the way, not me.

My world I see without end – nor beginning.  I see that change can occur at any time – you are never too far down one path or the other.

Even if you die it is a change from one path to another – and so there is no end only new beginnings.



Are there old beginnings?

If you make it so, if you try to keep things the same.

You can start all over doing the exact same thing and find yourself in the exact same rut.

Yes, this is true. I think we’ve all been down that road before.

So when you start over, change what you do.

You know what didn’t work and what did.  Use this knowledge to try something new.

Use this knowledge to benefit from the past rather than to repeat it.



Look at the past with different eyes and see a new future.

Have the courage to see differently, to see more clearly what there is to see.

Have the courage to not tell yourself the same (or new) old excuses that push you into the rut, that allow you to continue to do what you do.

Have the courage to say “no more”.



Be honest with yourself about the wars, violence, spills, politics, money, religion, [and so on] in your world – these are all things you have done to you.

You brought this on yourself to experience and now you decide where to go from here.

You are not in too deep, there are many paths before you and even ones you have yet to create.

In my world this is all about you discovering and experiencing – how and where you end up is of no relevance.

You will always return to you in the end.
