Your life is the perfect school for you to realize your potential as a divine and eternal being living a human life.
The great psychologist Carl Jung worked a lot with dreams and the unconscious. As I understand it, he believed that everyone in your dreams reveals an aspect of yourself so that everyone in your dream story is essentially yourself.
However, I would take it a step further and say that spiritually speaking, everyone in your life mirrors you in some important way to yourself. They are all characters in your play, helping you learn the lessons your eternal, divine consciousness has created for your development. Each person and every circumstance is contracted to play a role that helps you learn and build important spiritual muscles.
When you feel hurt or offended, it is helpful to recognize the work of your divine self. Here is a situation which your God Self has lovingly set to get your attention. (Nothing gets our attention better than discomfort!) When you face the discomfort and work through the challenges, you find that you have grown in ways that you would never have grown without that challenge. It helps to remember that you are eternal, unbreakable, and unlimited in your potential. That doesn’t mean that your human self can’t die, be wounded, or feel limited…it can. However, your eternal self is eternally safe. And that is who You Really Are.
Realizing these things, it becomes unimportant who has hurt you or what has held you back from success or happiness…etc. What is important is to realize and fulfill the opportunity present within the situation so you can experience yourself as increasingly whole, unlimited, and fulfilled. Those people and experiences that bring this opportunity to grow are your gift to yourself from a higher level.
It is my belief that everything is purposeful and planned at a higher level, with love and support for you as you endure the process and lessons involved. That support may not be immediately evident as you are working hard to overcome, searching your soul for that inner potential that you didn’t know you possessed. Once you do your part, however, then support arrives from the world around you in ways that may surprise you. At least, it does when you are willing to let go of the suffering and embrace the gifts in the situation. Suffering is temporary; love, empowerment, and truth last eternally. You can make your suffering feel permanent if you forget to let it go so you can benefit from the rewards in your experience.
The key is to realize who you are. If you think that you are only your little personality and body, then you are limiting yourself. If you can believe that you are an aspect of God who potentially has all the gifts of the universe, then you can put yourself through this earthly gym and build the muscles that allow your God Self to live in the world through you.
With even a little faith and a little trust, miracles can happen. Try not to take things too seriously, but perhaps be curious about what inner skills you will uncover through each circumstance.
Enjoying life and finding fulfillment requires a willingness to forgive. Whether it is the little stuff of life, your own self-defeating tendencies, or the big problems that life can bring. You claim your power when you forgive and recall that you are eternally and safely in the hands of a higher good.
Forgiveness is letting go of the pain and accepting the good in any situation. It comes when you realize that everything is growing you into a better person, a vehicle for your God Self to live here. Blame just doesn’t work; it keeps you disempowered and stuck in the difficulty. Once you get past blame, you can recognize the situation is guiding you to the empowered place where your true self can bring fulfillment into your life and your gifts into the world.
You play an essential role in the life of planet Earth, which only you can fulfill. You are perfect, exactly as you are. And though you are still growing, you will always be perfect. You really can’t mess up if you just keep growing! Isn’t that great news?! Enjoy the journey of your unique life story!
