"Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions." Ecclesiastes 7: 29Have you ever had experiences that have been so natural and effortless? It was pure joy. I certainly have. And there have been times when I have tried hard to make some experiences work and only ended up making myself sick and miserable. What makes some life experiences so effortless and others such hard work? I believe it has something to do with whether I am following my blueprint or not.
What do I mean by my blueprint?
I believe God is all there is and God is omnipresent Love, that exists in all time and all space. This means that everything has already happened in God. Put another way, God has already prepared all things that is there to make life beautiful, joyful, good and perfect for me. Still another way to put it - God has already experienced an eternity of infinite joy from my vantage point, which is my blueprint. I'm here to follow that blueprint and bring it into manifestation.
Every new day emerges from that blueprint. God has already arranged experiences for me to have and people to meet that resonate with my blueprint. As part of the package comes perfect health, peace of mind, and all the resources I need to help me express who I am.
Now I have a choice whether to step into my blueprint that has so lovingly been prepared or to ignore it and create my own reality that is totally different from God's blueprint. What happens when I try to create my own reality is that I'm coming from the premise that there is a vacuum. As the saying goes "nature abhors a vacuum." Therefore, the moment I dream up a vacuum, I'm going to dream up something to fill it up.
Let's look at an example of how filling the vacuum works. Let's say I've gone for days without hearing from a loved one. Instead of trusting that all is well, I use the vacuum, the lack of contact, to dream up all sorts of scenarios why my loved one hasn't been in contact. Before you know it, I'm making myself sick with worry. If my loved one is susceptible, I may even influence him with my concerns and he might start feeling fearful and "creating" equivalent situations based on his feelings. Before you know it, my worst fears have come true confirming that I was right to worry about my loved one after all.
In the meantime, God's perfect blueprint of infinite joy is untouched by my inventions. I find the easiest way to step back into my blueprint is to know there is one and my knowing gets me back on track.
I woke up this morning bright and early. I felt the excitement of a new day of following my blueprint. I decided that instead of catching the bus I would walk to the library where I planned to write up this article and do some work. The weather was just right, neither hot nor cold, with a lovely breeze.
As I walked, I noticed one side of the road was chock-a-block with traffic while the other side was free flowing. The traffic symbolises when I am not following my blueprint. It feels like there isn't enough time or resources and I get into competitive mode. I could always kid myself that there is a lot to learn from being in a stressful situation. The free flowing lane represents when I'm following my blueprint; I have all the time in the world and life is effortless.
When I arrived at the library, I noticed that the part of the library I prefer to work in, which the librarians call my "office", was already occupied. I could hear a girl crying.
"What's that racket coming from my office?" I laughingly asked one librarian.
Just at that moment the girl's father came to the counter. He seemed stressed and asked if he could be moved to a computer in the children's section as he couldn't keep an eye on his daughter while he was focused on his work. He said he was afraid she was going to run out of the library. He was hoping the children's section, which is a lot more secluded, would have things that would keep his daughter entertained. Although the librarian was reluctant to do so as it was against their policy, she allocated him a computer anyway. I was allocated the man's computer, my office. The man was soon back sitting on the computer beside me. Maybe, the children's section wasn't suitable after all.
His little girl was restless and wanted to play, but he was focused on his work. She kept moving from table to table. When he asked her not to touch something, she did anyway. Then he would tell her off and she would start crying. At one point the girl was fiddling with an equipment and I brought this to the man's attention. The man told her to sit in the corner, but the girl was soon back on the equipment. I looked at her and in thought I sent her my love and asked her to leave the machine alone. The girl moved away quietly. It seemed to me that the man and his daughter needed to step into their blueprint that is perfect peace and harmony.
I have come to realise that instead of trying to make things happen, I simply need to religiously follow my blueprint. Then the right people and situations that resonate with who I am unfold effortlessly at the right time and in the right order; and life is pure joy.
