Living the Life Divine

“The fear of life is the favorite disease of the 20th Century.”
William Lyon Phelps American educator and journalist (1865-1943)

We can tend to forget our true essence and get caught up in this human existence. From this perspective it can sometimes look like you have been dealt a poor hand? But your hand is overflowing with cards, good and bad, that you chose before you were born. Voltaire said, “You must play the cards you have been dealt.” One of the hardest parts of being human is realizing this you have chosen everything in your life.

Before you entered into this contract you made a number of decisions. With the loving assistance of your guides you consciously chose the lessons and experiences that would best help you grow and become more aware of your true essence, your Divinity. These choices are made from an unemotional standpoint. It is in human form that your emotions become so entwined with your existence.

Once the experiences are in place you begin the process of choosing your vehicle of expression and the setting. You begin with the type of body and personality that will best serve your purpose. Imagine for a moment that your body is a car. If your purpose were to be a rally driver it would be pointless choosing a Rolls Royce as your vehicle of expression. Equally, if your purpose is to be a nun it would be futile choosing a personality that likes to party.

You select the parents and friends that will guide and support you on your mission. You even hand pick the perfect adversaries to challenge and help you face your fears. You plan your life to accommodate the lessons and experiences on your checklist together with the tools to complete the mission and you planned it all perfectly.

So why would you complain about your life when it is exactly how you planned it? Did you forget that you are an aspect of the Divine? It is the victim in you that blames everything around you. It is the victim in you that says you are not good enough. Can you imagine the Divine part of you, God, saying “I look really fat in this outfit,” or “Nothing I do is ever right.” In this life, your life, there are no victims there are only volunteers. No one is made to come back to earth, we all volunteer. If you are living this life from a place of a victim then you are missing out on one of the most beautiful experiences you could be having.

As Martina McBride says in one of her songs, “I have been blessed.” Make this your affirmation this month. See the blessings and really make the effort to understand the lessons in your life. It is time to be Divine to consciously live as your Divine self. The human you is your car. The true you, the Divine you is the driver.
