Relax! Your life is just a movie

Do you ever find yourself so engaged in a suspenseful movie that you your body is tense and your mind is racing; until something inside you says, "relax, it's just a movie!"?

Suddenly, you are able to detach yourself and just observe.

You detach from having to figure out what happens and how it's going to end.

You detach from the intense emotions it was evoking and you are able to just observe the movie from a new and more distant perspective.

You might even be able to enjoy or appreciate how the movie was made, the great acting or the cinematography.

What if our lives were actually just a movie and every thought we have was just a clip or a scene in the movie?

If we could observe our thoughts like we do a scene in a movie, we could detach ourselves from giving meaning, judgement or having to control or know what happens next, we can allow Life to take care of Life.

Have you ever been in a situation that you really didn't want to deal with, or you weren't sure how to "handle" and so you procrastinated doing anything, and suddenly you find out that something happened on its own and you didn't have to do anything?

I just love when that happens!

It's such a great reminder that I didn't need to be worrying about it or putting so much energy into something that the Universe was going to take care of on it's own.

This is not to say that you just just ignore or procrastinate everything, but sometimes we take way too much ownership or control over things that are not for us to take control of, especially situations in other people's lives.

We could save ourselves so much worry and misery, if we could surrender 90% of the things we think we are responsible for fixing.

How do you know the difference?

Recently, I was listening to an audiobook called the I AM Discourses, by Saint Germain. It was talking about what it means to be "our brother's keeper" and the distinction between that and being a caretaker.

When we try to caretake others, we actually can impede their journey to self discovery.

Have you ever had anyone come to you and say "I'm worried about you and the decisions your making"?

How did you feel? There may be times when we heed someones advise, but many times it just sends us deeper into rebellion.

This is because we need to take our own journey to really discover our own truths about ourselves and about life.

We need to discover for ourselves where we are feeling unworthy, not valuing ourselves, what's driving our decisions and how we can grow.

The decisions we make aren't as important as what we discover from making those decisions and how it propels our growth.

If we are constantly trying to keep others from making "bad" or potentially dangerous situations, we are judging them (under the disguise of caring about them), and we are interfering in their God-given path unless they specifically asked for your advise.

Even then, they may not take your advise and it's not a personal attack, it's just part of their journey.

Care-taking is also a distraction from what's going on in our own lives and it comes from a need to "help" other people so we feel valued and perhaps even superior.

So what can we do that will truly be helpful to those we long to be of service to, or lead in the right direction all while keeping our own minds and energy freed up from the clutter of worry?

When we worry about other people, we are actually conjuring up all the worst case scenarios that could happen as a result of their decisions, and the more we think about those scenarios, the more we actually put them in motion not only for the other person, but for ourselves as well.

This is the Universal Truth or the Law of Existence that we have all witnessed in our own lives at one time or another.

When we instead choose to focus our attention on seeing the Divine within the person we are habitually worrying about, we set into motion their highest, most divine self coming forth, and you also set that in motion for yourself.

Even our enemies or people that we deem as evil in the world, we can choose to see their divinity, because Divinity exists in all of us, and this is how we can bring it forth in the world and actually change the world.

There's a story I read about Yeshua sending light and unconditional love to a caravan of bandits coming to terrorize the people in their village, and because love is the greatest power there is, the bandits were powerless and ended up destroying themselves.

Yeshua did not send destructive energy to hurt them, he sent them love knowing that they would either accept it and become peaceful or they would resist it and be destroyed by it's power.

Love will destroy anything that is not in alignment with it. When we send love to all people, all situation, we allow the intelligence and power of love itself to bring forth perfection.

This gives us the freedom to let go of worry, to let go of outcomes, and focus all our energy and thoughts on pure love.

This is how we can be our brother's keeper and uphold the purity of love in our hearts and minds, rather than a caretaker who out of the habit of ignorance, creates more destruction.

If we truly want to change the world, and take part in the happy ending of this movie, we need to start with changing what's not working and be open to the Power of Love that we have forgotten.

Unconditional love is not an emotion, it's a decision.

For centuries we have fought hate with hate, and it only perpetuates more hate.

Someone has to be the first to decide to fight hate with love...

Is that someone going to be YOU?

Namaste,

Jennifer
