A Life To Be Lived

Written by Victoria Leal

Imagine if you will, a God that is so magnificent, so omnipotent, so magnanimous that the only thing that it is impossible for him to do is to experience this life, as he has given to us. Therefore, his only experience of the joys and the triumphs, of the trials and the tribulations occur through us. We were created for the sole purpose of experiencing this life for God. He gave us the freedom to make decisions about the life that we choose to lead and he also gave us the understanding that with any decision, there will be consequences. However, consequences can be "good" or "bad". But in the reality of things, there is no good or bad, there is only God.

Therefore, he does not judge us by the things that we do, the things that we say, or the things that we think for our experience is his experience and in the spiritual realm, there is no judgment whatsoever. Imagine if you will, a world where we are allowed to experience the full spectrum of this life, from the miracle of birth to the apparent tragedy of death. People say that there can't be a good without a bad, but that's not quite true. The truth is that there is no good or bad, there is only God.

In man's attempt to control man, he devised a set of rules for his fellow human beings to live by and to break these rules can sometimes be punishable by death. These are not God's rules for he does not punish us; remember we are doing this for him. Some people call these rules the Bible and they live in fear everyday that if they do not follow the rules that they will be separated from God and their greatest fear is that they will forever be banished from the grace of God and will burn in an everlasting hellfire with a fellow they call Satan.

Imagine if you will, a world where everything that happens to you, happens by your own choosing. There is an agreement between you and God that you will experience certain things, but deep in your soul, you know that in the end, you will be alright. Your choice may be to be murdered in a dark alley. At first thought, you might think, "My Gosh, how terrible! How can this be of God?"  But your spirit knows that this is only an experience that you have chosen to have for God. When the body dies, your spirit goes right back to him and you choose a new life with new experiences.

It's almost like a game and the object of the game is to have many experiences so that God will truly know what it is like for us, here on this earth. Imagine if you will, that you are the power and presence of God and that nothing can ever harm you. You and God are one and therefore, you are an unlimited being, purposely limiting yourself in the body so that you can know what it is like to be limited, only to come to the realization that you really are unlimited and that in order to experience being limited, the struggles, the sacrifices, and the pains are a necessary part of the game. But when you come to re-member who you really are, you will know that you are only here for the experience, nothing more, nothing less and at this point, there is no more fear, there is only love, there is only God.
