Master of Reality (How to Fuck Fate)
Hello My Friend,
The other day I heard a ‘well-regarded’ Motivational Master who has a life lesson that suggests, when things are bad, that you need to remember that ‘things can be worse.’ Aye! What is that about? That’s the wrong take, my friend. Don’t ever think that ‘things can be worse,’ no. Simply count your blessings and celebrate all the you do have. If you want to think about something that could be, think about how things could be better. Things can be much, much better. In fact, things will be getting better very soon.
Things always get better if that is where we focus. We simply need to focus on what is right. As much as I don’t want to be entirely reliant on the Bible as opposed to other Holy Books, sometimes it just hits the nail on the head. It really is a great book if you can get past the ‘Guy in the Sky’ concept that merely makes a mockery of the true purpose of the Bible. Anyway, Philippians 4:8 says, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Isn’t that nice? It’s so simple yet so profound. It’s kinda sad that those ideas even need to be taught, but nonetheless, following that advice will lead you to a wonderful, fulfilling life. And more of us should be doing it.
Everything that you are doing that is ‘right’ and ‘pure’ will lead you toward a state of ‘betterness.’ Yeah, that’s a vague term but it is precisely what we all strive for all of the time. (Even the best of us want to be better, so no matter what state we find ourselves in right now, ‘better’ is always our objective.) Focus on all the wonderful things that you have right now, even the smallest and seemingly most trivial things around you to the big, obvious ones that are hard to miss.
Let’s start with the fact that you are alive and thinking. That’s the best news possible. You have the ability to take in and experience this weird, wild experience that we call ‘life.’ But Life, with a capital L, is the Spirit within you that is expressing itself through you. Isn’t that amazing?
That which connects you, unites you, and, in fact, that which IS you, and that you are a part of is the whole of the power of God - it is the Love that ignites all energy and brings forth all vibrations that radiate throughout our existence in the various forms, densities, and frequencies of all spirit and matter.
That means that you are a part of the All that creates, designs, powers, and moves the whole of existence and beyond, above, and below, side to side, and up and down. That’s big news that a lot of people have not heard.
You can call this power/force 'God,' call it Love, call it Krishna, Buddha, Christ, the Universe, the Cosmos, Jimmy, Frank, Bobby, or Sue. It doesn’t matter. ‘God’ is pretty simple. Even more simple is my name for God, ‘Is.’ Is is pretty good because it describes God in a way that makes God very tangible and real, it makes God very ‘in the moment,’ instead of something far away.
When you see Is as what is, then that makes God the All of Everything...because Everything Is. God is the Isness: the source and the power, the energy, the beauty, love, etc, etc, that constitutes all things that we can possibly experience - consciousness, awareness. We get the whole package with this Iness business. And on top of all that, God comes with an Extra-Special Bonus!
In addition to being the All of Everything, God lets you take the wheel and gives you control of the Everything of All. Yes, it’s true. Believe it or not, when you get yourself a God, you not only fall in love with your life and everything and everyone in it, you also get to custom design your experience through the creative power of God - which is your imagination.
So, just imagine that you take control of all the things that are coming your way; that the red carpet of the successful life you desire is continually being rolled out before you as you see fit. You don't sweat the details, you just keep working your way toward what you know are the successful landmarks, and helpful guideposts that keep you on the right path. Sure, this means that you are essentially omnipotent, all-powerful, and all-creative; that you are the Master of Reality.
So, how do we direct ourselves down this path of fulfilling our desires? How do we navigate the twists and turns? Well, first of all, we need to comprehend who we are in relation to God. If God is Everything, then we are a part of It. How do we know this? Well, how do we know that anything ‘is’? How do we know that we even exist? What is existence? Existence is your conscious awareness of being. And you know that you Are because you know that your I Am is experiencing it. If anything is, then it only is because we are aware of it.
Consciousness is the realization that I Am; the You that is aware of itself and of its relation to its surroundings. And, according to all ancient books, philosophies, and religions, ‘I Am’ is the name of God...which just happens to be who you are, too. You both have the same name. You and God are both ‘I Am.’
I don't know about you, but when this concept finally 'clicked' with me, everything changed. Instantly and everstill I am coming to further appreciate what 'I Am' really means. And it means everything. You'll see...
With your I Am (your God), you can create just as God creates. According the Genesis 1:1, the opening lines of the Bible, “In the beginning God created...” That’s the very first line in the Bible. And God went on to create all kinds of stuff simply by using words. God said, “let there be ‘this’ and there was ‘this.’” God said, “let there be ‘that’ and there was ‘that.’” Whatever God said came to be. Everything was created by the word. And what are the origins of words? Thoughts. So, if God is speaking but alphabets aren’t being used that means that the ‘words’ God used were thoughts vibrated out from the innerness of Infinity into external manifestation of reality.
And so, if God’s thoughts create reality, and you and God are one, then that means that your thoughts create reality. Which leads to the biggest question of all: what the hell are you thinking?
Your thoughts always create and if you’re not using them to create a life filled with love, prosperity, joy, and abundance...well, then that’s on you.
Once you get yourself a God, you can no longer claim that Fate fucked you over – you are Fate.
So, now what?
Until we meet again, my friend, think good thoughts.
All my love,
Rev. Shakes Spear
