Creating your stage setting
QUESTION: Masters, I thought I had things figured out. But recently, after so many experiences and setbacks, I wonder how much of this world is illusion? There seems to be so much more, are there things even the masters have yet to understand? Is it a possibility that our life lessons and reincarnation are another layer of processes built into our earthly belief systems? Were these created by an ancient race, or a lower God of creation? Can the concept of duality be a form of control created to defer our minds from an ultimate reality? ~Erika, U.S.
ANSWER: Your entire world is an illusion created by you to give you a stage upon which to learn what you wish to experience. The limits of your world illusion are controlled by your own imagination and creating the situations you need to address in order to learn. The Masters are aware of all that is possible because they may observe what is happening and what possibilities are available.
You cannot compare Earthly belief systems and the spiritual world. Humans are actually souls who chose to have a human experience – not humans who just happen to have a soul. You may adopt aspects of your spiritual journey as a layer of your human life, but not the other way around.
All things in human form deal with the duality of negative and positive as determined by the third-dimensional ego, using judgment. A spiritual passage is observation of the occurring events with an evaluation (not a judgment) of whether you wish to repeat them or feel you have seen enough of them.
Duality arises merely to allow a soul to make decisions or choices for the purpose of learning about itself. It requires the judging of which energy you wish to possess. Being a soul at Home or in Source energy is being in unconditional love where there is no negativity and no right or wrong and, hence, nothing to judge – so no ego.
All souls have the same essence: unconditional love. There are no lesser or greater gods, because all are composed of that same energy. Ancient races may come into play if a soul has had a human incarnation in which it was a part of the evolution of Earth. It is simply knowledge that was personally experienced, but it is shared by all.
You are trying very hard to “think” your way into a nonphysical, nonregulated, constantly changing setting that souls use to create the stages needed for their “performance.” Just sit back and let it happen!
