I AM Creator

“Your life is simply your relationship to the experience.”

There is freedom and peace in this objective truth: the circumstances do not matter; only how you relate to them matters.

The Paradox

This is so absurdly obvious, yet you are so busy reacting to what happens, or does not happen, in your life that you don’t have time to enjoy and savour your experience. And if you are not reacting, then you are trying to control and steer your life into the way it is “supposed to be.” You are so busy spinning your wheels, trying to change the experience outside of yourself, that you don’t feel your joy, your pain, your anger, or your grief. While you are fighting the experience, you are missing the relationship, and you are missing your life. And you have done this for so long.

This is “Duhkha.” This is suffering. It is not necessary for it to continue.

If you just took the time to “be with” yourself, life would be so much easier. When you refuse to simply be with your experience, then it will seem as if you are a victim of what happens in your life. It will seem as if life is happening “to you,” and this is the greatest of all self-deceptions. If you have “chosen” control and reaction as the way in which you relate to your experience, then life will feel like a constant battle. And when your experience refuses to conform to your expectations, you will feel unjustly punished. It will all seem so unfair. You will become a victim to your experience, and the cycle of blame will follow as night follows day. And you will project this everywhere and see a world of suffering and injustice.

But sooner or later, you will give up trying “to make your life work” the way you think it should. Sooner or later, the suffering will become too much. Only you can choose the timing of when you surrender to it. Until then, life will keep giving you the experiences that bring you closer to that choice. And it is a necessary choice. I promise you this is true.

Karma creates suffering. Suffering is needed for change. You choose the timing. This is the paradox of life.

The Choice

In the victim-blame cycle, otherwise known as the drama triangle, life is happening “to me,” so the focus is on problems that need to be solved. The energy for action comes from anxiety, and the entire relationship to your experience is driven by fear and a need to control and change the external environment. Only when everything is balanced “just right,” and all the problems are solved, will you find peace. Insanity! This dynamic is in constant conflict with everyone and everything. You are literally trying to push the river. This is where 85% of human consciousness resides, and it is why there is so much needless hostility in the world.

The suffering stops when you choose to BE WITH your experience instead of trying to change your experience. When you change your relationship and claim, “Life is not happening to me; it is happening for me. Life is not happening by me; it is happening through me.” This is when you choose to become a co-Creator and develop a partnership with your life — a willingness to participate and to fully feel the experience that comes with it. The energy for action comes from passion, and the focus is on vision and desired outcomes. “What is trying to happen for me?” and “How do I become aligned with it?” become the constant questions you ponder.

You are no longer trying to push the river, but are now lying on a raft, with your hands behind your head and your eyes closed, riding it wherever it takes you. Can you feel the peace in that image?

I AM Creator

A human being, at its essence, is a vessel of creative energy called Love that is here to create reality in a co-creative dynamic with the unified field of consciousness that connects us all. This may be a wild concept for you, but it is objectively true. We are not here simply to pay bills, delete emails, and lose weight. You will find the peace and joy you are yearning for when you stop trying to fight your experience and choose to relate to it as the Creator you are.

You are part of a process that never begins and never ends. So lie back on your raft and fully experience the ride down the river to the ocean of Love that you are.
