Cine alegi S FII?

O not de la Neale
(articol din newsletter-ul sptmnal al lui N.D. Walsch)

Dragii mei prieteni,

n aceste zile, cum putem mpca evenimentele din viaa noastr de fiecare zi, cu
calmul i pacea luntric, n timp ce planeta se cutremur, din cauza evenimentelor din
Ucraina, Siria, Egipt i din ntreaga lume? De fapt, cum putem reconcilia chiar evenimentele
din propria noastr via de zi cu zi, cu adevrul spiritual pe care toi cutm s-l mbrim
i s-l trim?
Am fost ntrebat recent acest lucru: cineva a vrut s tie cum este posibil s pot tri
viaa de fiecare clip, n planul fizic i, aa cum s-a exprimat acea persoan tot s triesc pe
deplin nelepciunea mesajului din Conversaii cu Dumnezeu. Am gsit c este o ntrebare
minunat, aa c lasai-m s mi mprtesc rspunsul aici, pentru c muli oameni se
confrunt cu aceeai provocare. Eu sunt unul dintre ei. n fiecare zi, pesc n experiena
cutrii unui echilibru ntre a tri viaa de zi cu zi n lumea fizic i a tri nelepciunea
Conversaiilor cu Dumnezeu la maxim.
n termeni teologici, asta nseamn s fii n aceast lume, dar s nu fii din lume. Din
experiena mea, acesta nu este un lucru uor. Iluziile vieii n mpria Fizicului sunt foarte
puternice. Ele sunt fcute s par reale, astfel nct s poat forma un Cmp Contextual
realist, n care fiina spiritual care eti (i care suntem cu toii) s poat experimenta
Adevrata noastr Identitate, ca aspect i expresie a Divinului.
Permitei-mi s-mi ncep rspunsul despre viaa mea, spunndu-v tuturor c eu nu
triesc nelepciunea Conversaiilor cu Dumnezeu la maxim i toi cei care m cunosc v
pot spune asta. Sper c v vor spune, de asemenea, i c m-au vzut, totui, ncercnd s
triesc astfel. Secretul este s vezi aceast ncercare, nu ca pe o povar, ca pe un efort, ci ca pe
o srbtoare plin de bucurie i ca o demonstraie fericit. Acest lucru necesit o schimbare
dramatic n perspectiva din care privim evenimentele din viaa noastr, trecute i prezente i
n perspectiva din care ne privim Identitatea Real i scopul nsui al vieii fizice.
n via, mai devreme sau mai trziu, trebuie s lum o decizie major cu privire la
cine suntem. Suntem materializarea fizic a unui incident biologic, sau suntem ceva mai mult
dect un simplu mamifer?

Aa cum vd eu, prietene, ai dou opiuni cu privire la modul n care te percepi.

Opiunea 1: Te poi percepe ca pe o Fiin Chimic, un Incident Logic Biologic.
Adic, rezultatul logic al unui proces biologic, iniiat de dou procese biologice mai n vrst,
numite mama i tatl tu.
Dac te vezi ca Fiin Chimic, atunci nu te vei vedea avnd mai mult legtur cu
Procesele mai Mari ale Vieii dect orice alt form de via biologic sau chimic. La fel ca
toate celelalte, eti influenat de via, dar poi avea o influen foarte mic asupra vieii.
Bineneles c nu poi crea evenimente, dect n sensul foarte larg, indirect al termenului. Poi
crea mai mult via (toate creaturile chimice au capacitatea biologic de a se reproduce), dar
nu poi crea ceea ce creeaz viaa, sau modul n care ea se manifest n orice moment dat.
Mai mult, ca Fiin Chimic te vei vedea avnd o capacitate foarte limitat de a crea
un rspuns intenionat la evenimentele i condiiile vieii. Te vei vedea ca fiin supus
obiceiurilor i instinctelor, avnd numai acele resurse pe care i le ofer biologicul.
Te vei vedea avnd mai multe resurse dect o broasc estoas, pentru c biologicul
tu te-a nzestrat cu mai mult. Te vei vedea avnd mai multe resurse dect un fluture, pentru
c biologicul tu te-a nzestrat cu mai mult. Te vei vedea avnd mai multe resurse dect o
maimu sau un delfin (dar, n aceste cazuri, poate nu cu mult mai multe), pentru c biologicul
tu te-a nzestrat cu mai mult. Dar asta este tot ce vei putea vedea la tine, n termeni de
resurse.
Te vei vedea trebuind s te descurci cu viaa de zi cu zi, cam aa cum vine ea, probabil
cu foarte puin control, bazat pe o planificare n avans, etc., dar tu vei ti c n fiecare minut,
orice ar putea merge prost i, de multe ori, chiar merge prost.


Opiunea 2: Te poi percepe ca Fiin Spiritual care locuiete ntr-o mas biologic
pe care o numeti corp. Dac te vezi ca Fiin Spiritual, te vei vedea avnd puteri i
abiliti cu mult dincolo de cele ale unei simple Fiine Chimice puteri care transcend planul
fizic fundamental i legile sale. Vei nelege c aceste puteri i abiliti i ofer control parial
asupra elementelor exterioare ale vieii tale individuale i ale Vieii Colective i control
complet asupra elementelor interioare ceea ce nseamn c ai capacitatea total de a-i crea
propria realitate, pentru c realitatea ta nu are nimic de-a face cu producerea elementelor
exterioare ale vieii tale i are totul de a face cu modul n care rspunzi la elementele care au
fost produse.
De asemenea, ca Fiin Spiritual, vei ti c eti aici (adic pe pmnt), dintr-o raiune
spiritual. Acesta este un scop care intete foarte sus i are puin legtur direct cu profesia
sau ocupaia ta, cu veniturile, bunurile, realizrile sau locul tu n societate sau cu oricare
alte condiii sau circumstane exterioare ale vieii tale.
Vei ti c scopul tu are legtur cu viaa ta interioar totui, ct de bine procedezi ca
s i atingi scopul spiritual poate avea, de foarte multe ori, un efect asupra vieii tale fizice
exterioare. Pentru c viaa interioar a fiecrui individ produce, concomitent, viaa exterioar
a colectivului. Adic, a oamenilor din jurul tu i a oamenilor care sunt n jurul oamenilor din
jurul tu. n acest fel tu, ca Fiin Spiritual, participi la evoluia speciei tale.


Cine eti tu, atunci? Viaa ne cheam pe toi s lum aceast decizie. Acum este
Momentul Alegerii Noastre. Ce alegem S FIM? Cum alegem s trim? Ca Fiin Chimic
sau ca Fiin Spiritual? O putem alege pe oricare i putem tri ca oricare dintre ele. Nimeni
nu ne va critica i nimeni nu ne va luda pentru alegerea noastr. Este, pur i simplu, o
chestiune de preferin a fiecruia dintre noi. Eu am ales Opiunea 2.
Acum, pentru a rspunde direct la ntrebare... am lucrat ca s gsesc echilibrul ntre
viaa mea fizic exterioar i viata mea spiritual interioar, amintindu-mi ct de des i ct
de ingenios pot c cele dou sunt, de fapt, una singur. i nu glumesc cnd spun ingenios.
Eu vd c, pe msur ce m adncesc n povestirea mea, viaa mea produce nite situaii
fascinante pentru mine, nite fire narative de-a dreptul ingenioase, oferindu-mi posibiliti
din ce n ce mai creative i mai interesante de anuna i declara, de a exprima i experimenta,
de a deveni i ndeplini Cine Sunt cu Adevrat - i, mai mult dect att - Cine Suntem cu
Toii.
Toi cei de aici suntem Divinitate Manifestat. Acest lucru este valabil pentru noi toi,
nu numai pentru unii dintre noi. Nu numai pentru civa dintre noi. Ci pentru noi toi. Toi
suntem fiii i fiicele iubite ale lui Dumnezeu i niciunul dintre noi nu este mai conectat cu
Divinitatea sau mai Divin dect oricare altul. Tocmai n momentul n care vedem Divinul n
toi (i n toate), binecuvntm lumea cu adevrat.
Aadar, atunci cnd, n via, ntlnii oameni, locuri i evenimente care v provoac
s v interogai cu privire la declaraia sufletului vostru i s v ntrebai Cine Suntei cu
Adevrat, fii contieni, pur i simplu, c aceste circumstane au fost puse acolo chiar de ctre
voi, n colaborare cu toate sufletele, ca mijloc de creare a unui Cmp Contextual, care a fost
produs, cu scopul precis de a v permite s v exprimai i s experimentai adevarata voastr
natur i suprema voastr identitate la urmtorul nivel.
Acesta este procesul prin care evoluai care nu trebuie s fie confundat cu evoluia
i care este definit mai bine ca fiind procesul prin care devenii din ce n ce mai contieni de
ceea ce a fost ntotdeauna adevrat.
Dumnezeu caut s se experimente pe Sine, prin tine. Prin urmare, n toate situaiile i
n fiecare circumstan, nu judeca i nici nu condamna, nu cuta s mustri, s faci reprouri
sau s critici pe cineva - pentru c Iubirea Divin nu ar face asta niciodat. Dar fii o lumin n
ntuneric, ca s tii cine eti cu adevrat i ca toi cei ale cror viei le atingi, s tie i ei cine
sunt cu adevrat.
Chiar i n cel mai negru ceas al tu, d-le oamenilor posibilitatea s se regseasc pe
ei nii. Tat, iart-le lor, c nu tiu ce fac, a spus Iisus, chiar n timp ce era rstignit pe
cruce. A existat un motiv pentru aceast afirmaie. El a neles c rstignirea se ntmpla c,
mai mult dect att, c i El cooperase ca rstignirea s se ntmple pentru ca El s poat
demonstra adevrata Sa identitate... i s ne-o arate nou tuturor pe a noastr. Nu spunndu-ne
cine era El i cine nu suntem noi, ci fcnd exact contrariul: artndu-ne cine era El i cine
suntem i noi.
ansa noastr este s facem exact acelai lucru. Cci, atunci cnd o facem, ntreaga
Via devine pmntul sfnt i fiecare moment devine o experien sacr.

V trimit iubire.


Who do you choose to BE?

A Note from Neale...
My dear friends...


How can we meet the events of our every day life these days with equanimity and inner peace
while the planet turns in turmoil over events in Ukraine, in Syria, in Egypt, and around the
world? For that matter, how can we reconcile even the events in our own every day lives with
the spiritual truth we all seek to embrace and to live?

I was asked about this recently --- someone wanted to know how I can possibly face moment-
to-moment life in the physical and, as they put it, "still live the CWG wisdom fully." I found it
to be a wonderful question, so let me share my answer here, because a lot of people are facing
the same challenge. I am one of them. Each day I step into the experience of seeking a
balance between living the daily life of physicality and living the CWG wisdom to the
fullest.


In theological terms, this is about being in this world, but not of it. In my experience, this is
not easy. The illusions of life in the Realm of the Physical are very powerful. They are made
to seem real so that they can form a realistic Contextual Field within which the spiritual being
that you (and we all) are can experience our True Identity as an aspect and expression of the
Divine.

Let me begin my answer about my own life by telling you all that I do not live
the CWG wisdom to the fullest --- and everyone who knows me will tell you that. I hope
they will also tell you that they do, however, see my trying. The trick is to do this trying not as
a effort-laden burden, but as a joyous celebration and a happy demonstration. This requires a
dramatic change in perspective regarding the events of our lives, past and present, and
regarding our Actual Identity and the purpose of physical life itself.



Sooner or later in our lives we have to make a major decision about who we are. Are we the
physical manifestation of a biological incident, or are we something greater than a mere
mammal?

As I observe it, you have a couple of choices when it comes to how you think of yourself.

Choice #1: You can conceive of yourself as a Chemical Creature, a Logical Biological
Incident. That is, the logical outcome of a biological process engaged in by two older
biological processes called your mother and your father.
If you see yourself as a Chemical Creature you will see yourself as having no more
connection to the Larger Processes of Life than any other chemical or biological life form.
Like all the others, you are impacted by life, but can have very little impact on life. You
certainly cant create events, except in the most remote, indirect sense. You can create more
life (all chemical creatures carry the biological capacity to recreate more of themselves), but
you cannot create what life does, or how it shows up in any given moment.
Further, as a Chemical Creature you will see yourself as having very limited ability to create
an intentioned response to the events and conditions of life. You will see yourself as creatures
of habit and instinct, with only those resources that your biology brings you.
You will see yourself as having more resources than a turtle, because your biology has gifted
you with more. You will see yourself as having more resources than a butterfly, because your
biology has gifted you with more. You will see yourself as having more resources than an ape
or a dolphin (but, in those cases, perhaps not all that many more), because your biology has
gifted you with more. Yet that is all you will see yourself as having in terms of resources.
You will see yourself as having to deal with life day-by-day pretty much as it comes, with
perhaps a tiny bit of what seems like control based on advance planning, etc., but you will
know that at any minute anything could go wrong --- and often does.

Choice #2: You can conceive of yourself as a Spiritual Being inhabiting a biological mass ---
what you call a body. If you see yourself as a Spiritual Being, you will see yourself as
having powers and abilities far beyond those of a simple Chemical Creature; powers that
transcend basic physicality and its laws. You will understand that these powers and abilities
give you collaborative control over the exterior elements of your individual and Collective
Life and complete control over the interior elementswhich means that you have total ability
to create your own reality, because your reality has nothing to do with producing the exterior
elements of your life and everything to do with how you respond to the elements that have
been produced.
Also, as a Spiritual Being, you will know that you are here (on the earth, that is) for a spiritual
reason. This is a highly focused purpose and has little to do directly with your your
occupation or career, your income or possessions or achievements or place in society, or any
of the exterior conditions or circumstances of your life.
You will know that your purpose has to do with your interior life --- yet how well you do in
achieving your spiritual purpose may very often have an effect on your exterior physical life.
For the interior life of each individual cumulatively produces the exterior life of the collective.
That is, those people around you, and those people who are around those people who are
around you. It is in this way that you, as a Spiritual Being, participate in the evolution of your
species.

Who are you, then? Life is calling upon all of us to make that decision. Now is the Moment of
Our Choice. Who do we choose to be? How do we choose to live? As a Chemical Creature or
as a Spiritual Being? We may choose either, and live as either. No one will judge us for our
choice, and no one will praise us. It is simply a matter of our preference. I have opted for
Choice #2.

Now, to answer the question directlyI have worked to find the balance between my
exterior physical life and my interior spiritual life by reminding myself as often and as
ingeniously as I can that the two are actually one. When I say ingeniously, I am not kidding. I
see that my life produces for me some fascinating situations, some truly ingenious plot
lines, as I step deeper and deeper into my story, giving me ever more creative and
intriguing opportunities to announce and declare, express and experience, become and fulfill
Who I Really Am - and, indeed, Who We All Are.

All of us here are Divinity Expressed. That is true of all of us, not just one of us. Not just a
few of us. But all of us. All of us are Gods beloved sons and daughters, with no one of us
more connected or more Divine than any other. It is precisely when we see the Divine in
everyone (and everything) that we truly bless the world.


So when you encounter people, places, and events in your life that cause you to question and
to wonder about your souls statement to you of Who You Really Are, simply know that these
circumstances were placed there by you, in collaboration with all souls, as a means of creating
a Contextual Field that has been produced for the precise purpose of allowing you to express
and experience your true nature and your ultimate identity at the next level.

This is the process by which you evolve --- which is not to be confused with growth, but is
better defined as your becoming more and more aware of what has always been true.
God seeks to experience Godself through you. Therefore, in all situations and every
circumstance, judge not, and neither condemn. Seek to rebuke, reproach, or reprimand no one
- for this, Divine Love would never do. Yet be a light unto the darkness, that you may know
who you truly are --- and that all those whose lives you touch may know who they truly are as
well.

Give people back to themselves, even in your darkest hour. Father, forgive them, for they
know not what they do, said Jesus, even as he was being crucified. There was a reason for
this. He understood that the crucifixion was occurring --- indeed, that he joined in causing it
to occur --- that he might demonstrate his true identityand show all of us ours. Not by
telling us who he was and who we are not, but precisely the opposite: by showing us who he
was and who we are as well.
Our opportunity is to do precisely the same. When we do, all of Life becomes holy ground,
and every moment becomes a sacred experience.

I send you love
