In an effort to help my students know their True Identity as a Spiritual Being in the Divine, I’ve found that if I refer to their human self as an Avatar and describe this life as a Game, they can see themselves as outside of the Human Avatar and in control of it, rather than it, controlling them.
When we believe we are the Human Avatar in this game called Life, we will never find the peace, joy and happiness we long for. Because to be a Human Avatar, requires us to cling to the belief of Duality and Separation from the Divine, which is the root of suffering.
Buddha said; “The root of suffering is attachments,” Ram Dass said; “The resistance to the unpleasant situations if the root of suffering!” While I agree that attachments and resistance are forms of suffering, they are not the root of suffering. They are merely consequences of holding onto a belief in separation from the Divine.
Not knowing our True Identity in Christ Consciousness, causes life to become this dance of suffering, wrapped up in attachments and resistance.
This game of Life has 3 levels or as Ram Dass says; “planes of consciousness!” The 3rd Dimension/Plane; is believing we are separate from the Divine, which actually creates a tormenting state of mind, filled with fear and anger. Or as we may refer to it; “a hellish state of mind” where doubt, discouragement, and depression dwell.
The 4th Dimension/Plane, is what A Course In Miracles calls The Borderland! It’s when we start awakening to The Game of Life and our ego’s beliefs in Duality/Separation. We begin letting those beliefs go and instead see ourselves as separate from our Human Avatar, causing us to know our oneness with the Divine, where peace, joy, happiness and power reside.
The 5th Dimension/Plane, is what as A Course in Miracles calls; “The Holy Instant, or Heaven.” It’s when we live in acceptance of everything seemingly good/seemingly bad, knowing it’s all for our awakening. It’s letting the Divine – that we are one with, fully use the Human Avatar as a communication device, expressing, teaching and demonstrating oneness of love, while living this life fully as Awareness.
How Do We Do This?
When we are thrown out of peace, it’s a sign that we’ve forgotten that we are Awareness and have slipped back into being the Human Avatar.
Therefore observe negative thoughts/feelings, take some deep breaths, inquire about them and then replace them with truth in order to heal them.
As we practice this awareness, we begin to realize our power, and that power is freedom from suffering and the power to create a life that we have always desired.
Now life isn’t so hard. It becomes peaceful, enjoyable and Divine.
Real Life Example:
My husband and I were having a coffee date last night and he brought up a topic that was rather sensitive to our Human Avatars in the past.
For the first part of the conversation, I remained my Divine Self as Awareness and I was very calm and understanding. When I thought the conversation was over, but he continued on, I noticed my Human Avatar’s stomach wrenching up, heart racing, so I had the Human Avatar breathe through it, while I processed where the anxiety was coming from.
Sure enough, it was from past experiences around this subject. When I knew where it stemmed from, I could bring truth to it, and know how to better handle future conversations around this topic, which caused me to came back to peace!
It is possible to play The Game of Life while remaining our True Divine Self of Awareness! It just takes setting an intention, consistency and tenacity to no longer identify as a Human Avatar, but rather the Awareness of the Human Avatar.
You got this! I believe in you! All you desire is on the other side of being Awareness!
