On Assignment: Souls Planning Earth Life

Posted on Dec 5th, 2008 by michele : I  <3  Om! michele

I can honestly say that I have TRIED with all my might to get this to come into solidity for me.  I've given it time.  I just can't do it.  So as Debby said she was excited to see me talk about the concept, I fear that I will bore you all to tears!

Here's what I have.  I have an Eternal thing.  It's like endlessly big, Eternal you know.  We are it, it is we.  There is no describing it, so I won't bother creating a bunch of shadowy second best verbage to tear it down.  Maybe warm and glowing and bliss can't be denied in the description... but that's just a silly little understatement beyond understatements.  I think most people would recognize this Force under the name "God", although God is the wrong term. 

The term God means so many things to so many people... often having judgment and punishment and right and wrong attached to it.  To me, that's ludicrous.

Anyway, so I have that Allness, Oneness, Isness thing that we are... and then what else?  It's like a black hole in my thinking.  What else?  Like, how could there be something else?  So I try to create a something else in order to answer the call to share my thoughts.  And then, there we are, back in analogy.

Here I am in the moment.  I can perceive a keyboard, a computer screen, hands, feet, etc.  So there is this thing we've decided to unanimously believe is Earth.  I'm not too concrete on the details in that.  I once was.  I am not, nor ever again shall be... not concrete.

If I leap headlong into pretending that life is as we're perceiving it, then I really have to explain how it is that we're individual, why it is that most of us have forgotten that we are the All, and all sorts of other territory that is equally confusing and elusive.

I'm going to jump to a fictional belief that works for me today.  I have no insight, no reason to believe it, and I've never heard anyone say it before in my life.  It just correlates with my current point of BEing.  So, I'll share it.  Tomorrow, no doubt, it will be different.

I can't shake myself out of the Oneness being it, the only thing... so I can build a kinda visual image to help people understand.  If you can picture a sphere of glowing love that is endless... let's go with that being God.  And within it, in it's "imagination" are endless possibilities, unfoldings, creations....  There is no time, so nothing happens in time.  There is no separation, so nothing happens in separation.  There really is nothing but the Oneness, but the Oneness can project illusions of non Oneness (and that we are BEing). 

The endlessness of this, the expanse of this, is unimaginable...  Yet, to build it into the picture, I'd have to give it definition... so I'll call the happenings "dimensions" just so we have something to play with.  Inside the Eternal sphere then, build yourself some worlds, billions of them, every kind imaginable... ones with unicorns, ones with fire and brimstone, ones with people of all crayon colors (like magenta and green), ones with every single thing you consider real and every single thing you consider religion, and every single thing you consider fiction.  Worlds upon worlds upon worlds.  Have I lost you?

When the question regards "how deluded were we when we chose our human forms for this planetary visit?"... then where do I go?  I have to say that there is nothing but the moment, but every moment occurs simultaneously.  So as the Eternal, we are currently creating ourselves right now.  And the self that we're creating can relate to the layers of Eternalness in an infinite number of ways.

So, some know they were reincarnated and can tell of their prior life experiences  (but many were reincarnated from the same, how is that possible???  Well, why not, it's just a layer.  We are One.)  Some can tap into existences on planets far from our own... why not?  We are One.  We're all the same exactness. 

And so, many believe in a model of heaven... of a described place/space where we are individual yet again, and have been individual there before.  Is it real?  As real as any of this.  As real as this existence.  As real as all of the other things that I listed earlier that are part of the Infinite possibilities that a Divine Creatine Allness unfolds.


I think of it like a movie.  Where did your movie begin?  It never ends... you can come from anywhere, go to anything, revolve through whatever can be imagined.


So did our souls plan earth life?  Did they choose our bodies and our plights?  Is there something to a form of "heaven" that we leave from and go back to?  Of course.  Of course not.  Of course.


This is a neverending story.  A soap opera played out in unlimited variations eternally.  If you want to dimension hop and land in a world of fairies, be my guest.  But for now, we're caught in the same film, reading these same computer words in this exact moment.  There is nothing else at all.  There in something else as All. 

Why do we choose these challenges, this life, these bodies, this unfoldment?  Because we are the One and only and it's new and different and perfection in an original creation.  

Hmm, it just isn't a soul satisfying answer.  Sigh.

I have sat and tried to switch to a different dimension and it is not working. I even clicked my heels and tried but nothing. Unicorns sound so nice comparatively. “sigh”.

Love your blogs Michele. :)

Debby, HILARIOUS!!!



Eric says that unicorns are not all they’re cracked up to be. PMS (huh?), they don’t like to get dirthy, they’re moody… I’ll add that when they get to the point, you don’t want to be nearby!!! : )



OK, did you have the ruby slippers??? Were you wearing them on the right feet?



DeeDee… I’m thinking this is a good omen… losing your spaces!!! It’s what we’re all living toward… losing our space between “self” and the Eternal.



I’m glad to have both of you, because ofthe love of course, but alsobecause you make me smile!!!!

Hey D2 - it’s catching - do you see M’s last sentence?  I actually had to use a new browser.  It’s the computer gremlins.  Let me tell you ladies, this has been the strangest night - I drove into Snohomish County in the dark.  It wasn’t just dark it is “0 DART 30”.  omg - all the lights were out from Granite to Lake Stevens.  Too strange.

M - you love me too, huh?

Sorry I was late reading, but it seems to take a couple hours to get the notice of the blogs.  This one JUST came!  Do you think it’s something personal Gaia has about me?

Debby - are you sure you clicked your heels - just the heels????

Can’t wait to see you guys tomorrow at the book club.  I’m going to re-read today, I promise.  I know Debby and M have finished re-reading.  D2, are you coming?  Even for a while?  K will be late, so don’t let interrupting him concern you (if it was :) ). 

Love you all - j

I couldn’t afford the ruby slippers so I had to use a pair of cloth ones from Walmart. I suppose that is where I went wrong. Darn Human Services doesn’t pay enough for Rubys. :(

LOL.

Just for the record… I do love you all! Very much in fact.I hope it’s noticeable in my actions, words, writing and such.

Oh, and on another blog I commented that DeeDee was losing spaces but I was gaining blocks of space! Wild! Gaia is freaky this way. Have you ever tried to edit your comments? It works half the time. : ) It’s for amusement… for learning patience… for letting perfection go.

Where is D2 when you need her to announce a “group hug”?  Guess I’ll have to do it.  I too love you guys.  You rock my world!  We need a bulletin board where it’s just the four of us or the book club talking so I can get personal and talk about Costco versus bring a dish dinner and if we or some of us are doing all or any of those things tomorrow.  I would also like to complain about my senior moments again (which I feel entitled since I am the grand matriarch of this group - pretty funny since I’m the baby spiritually).

BTW is there lots of energy in the atmosphere today (the last couple days) or do I just need to get my tinfoil hat out again?  My tongue was actually buzzing like it was picking up radio signals.  It was too funny.  Then I got shocked from the printer.  Hey - maybe that’s what caused the power outage?!…  Hmmm - something to ponder.  I’m just being silly so I should wind down.  I fixed my problems by changing to Mozilla for a browser - it is so awesome.  Talk to you guys later.  J

XOXOXO to all,

Judy, I can’t believe you asked about electricity. I kept getting shocked today getting in and out of the car and when I was vaccuming at M’s dads house, the plug sparked blue and the outlet stopped working. Then when I got home andturned on the kitchen light it flashed blue and blew the breaker and my hair is staticky too. The weather was clear so I don’t think it is because of a storm. Maybe I should borrow your tinfoil hat for a day or two?

What is up with you guys and electricity? I had a synchronistic moment when some random person brought up the Matrix and I thought that was kind of cool but no electrical issues. Matter of fact, now that I think about it, I did have computer issues on Friday night. My phone lines were wonky so I guess I technically had issues too. Hmmmmmm. :)

Ok all you energy magnets… it’s just who you are you know! Enjoy it!

Um, we have a WIKI, remember, so maybe we should seriously consider going back to that for this stuff… and just talkin’ about blogs on the blogs. Up to you guys… Does anyone have the wiki saved on favorites, ‘cause I’d have to really search for the address!

I really don’t understand what a wiki is. Are they selling it as the big toy for christmas this year? LOL

That said, I do have it saved under favorites. I still don’t know what it is though.

A wiki is a personal bulletin board… so like, we can talk about everything under the sun without observers. We already have it and can do whatever we want with it, but Kwami will be notified with each entry (which brings him back in to the conversation ina forced way, ha ha ha). Wiki’s are for group conversations like this.

This site, this blog, is all about observers! So, the difference is like my myspace verses Eric’s myspace… anyone can look at his and know what a stalker he is to me, ha ha ha… but I don’t let “just anyone” into my myspace. The reason is because I myspace for the teens, and I don’t want anyone linking to them through me, or my words to be for the common myspace public.

This blog, however, is intended to, hmmm, what, hmmm, get to those who are called to it.

I heard eckhart tolle tell a story of villager’s first encounter with the white man.
They described them as having a look in there eye as if they were searching for something.  They all had a look about them of “searching” - When asked about what they were looking for the white man said we don’t know and the only thing the poor villagers could reply with is “we don’t have it” & “who took it from you”  and you of course know the rest of the story –

to search indicates something is outside of yourself
you are the source of everything you could ever want
there is more there then you can understand in one lifetime
it’s hidden from you but only by your perception..
The search is about within not without –

The teacher appears when the student is ready –
you can’t cheat yourself and force the next step
until you have let go of what you are holding on to.
Example:  you can’t hold love until you let go of hate.
no one gives you love that would indicate you
need to depend on another — instead love
is waiting on you to let go…

I got lost somewhere. Am I looking for something?I mean in this blog anyway, ha ha ha. Maybe the fact that I am lost means that what I am looking for is my position in the universe : )

Oh my dear NightPheonix, if this group even got started on telling you what the “let go” of in the last year, your head would spin. Miraculous people, miraculous times.

Regarding the WIKI and Mr. Duck - What do you think ladies?  Only if he’s will to post his icon in a skirt?  Of course, we would probably see a real duck in a skirt, but that could work I supposed if the ASPCA doesn’t hear about it - especially if it’s a boy duck.  OK - this is wacky, I need to get serious - which I would do if there were another blog to think about!  M - what do you say to a minimum of 2 blogs a day?  JK (that’s text for “just kidding’).  I’m off to meditate.  Talk to you guys very late tonight or tomorrow, depending on the sleep gods.  :)

For the record, I think kilts are hot… I’m not sure if the “man skirt” is something seen frequently on the east coast, but ya, WHAT DO THEY WEAR UNDER THEM?

Rich is obviously welcome! Undeniably welcome in my eyes : ) But I think the group decided to maintain the status quo. And the whole thing about the wiki was just for chatter rather than philosophy anyway; philosophy belongs here.

Two blogs a day? Wow. I was actually thinking I’m writing enough now to start “a book” (if the time were transferred)… and it WAS going to be a parenting thing… now, I just am not getting the vibe : )
