If That Other Was You

MAP

It sure feels like it’s hard to be free when it seems everyone is telling you what to do or how to behave.

That is because you have forgotten that you are another.

There are very few things that you would do to another if that other was you.

You do things to others that you would not do to yourself or would like to have another do to you.

That is what you have called the Golden Rule and it has been told in many forms, through many messengers.



But you do not necessarily pay attention to what you are being told.  And that is fine because this is all part of the game.

You are still living by the thought kill or be killed.  You are still living by the idea of survival mode.  You are still living by the idea you are separate.

When you realize you are another and you cannot die, everything changes.

There is no reason to get the other first because you get yourself.

There is no first or last.

Everything is happening at the same time.



All of your rules and laws continue to have holes in them because there will always be someone, who is you too, to think of a new way to experience life that you had not thought about.

The laws and rules you use to contain life will be pushed.

But all heck would break loose if we didn’t have laws and rules.

You do not all agree on the laws and rules you have now.  And they don’t do much good because they are always being broken.

The laws that work are the laws you all agree to without question.  How often do you see a person drive down the middle of two lanes?

But speeding is another matter.

You pick and choose which laws apply to you.



And to abide by a law out of fear of retribution of some kind is not agreeing with the law at all.

Fear as a controlling mechanism is coming to an end.  You are starting to see now even more incidents of fear not being able to control behavior.



When you start to see yourself as an other person, or tree, or bird or body of water you will stop doing things to yourself.

The disconnect will be reconnected.

You won’t need laws or someone outside yourself to tell you how to behave.  You already know how you feel about the whole outcome of what you want to do.

You will not experience the mayhem you fear but instead the peace and freedom you seek.

You will experience the peace and freedom you are.
