Embracing the Challenge
Imagine living in a state of complete boundlessness. What does each day look like for you? If nothing is beyond your reach, how do you fill your time? Eventually, without any challenges, boredom may set in. Challenges are essential for growth and expansion; when you conquer a challenge, you emerge wiser and more knowledgeable than before. Even an unlimited being yearns for challenges.
Living Beyond Limitations
As an unlimited spirit, I exist beyond the constraints of human limitation, fully awake in a realm where possibilities are endless. Each day—or rather, every moment—opens up like a boundless canvas waiting for my creative brush. With a mere intention, I conjure worlds, shifting landscapes, and breathtaking vistas, each one more magnificent than the last. After a while, there comes a desire to understand my unlimited nature more deeply through challenges.
Redefining Heaven
In our limited perspective, we envision a “heaven” devoid of challenges. However, from what I understand, this is not the case. There are “opportunities” to embrace challenges that enable you to expand and comprehend your unlimited essence. This challenge is called Earth.
The Purpose of Challenges
In heaven, there is no pain, no suffering, no malice. No one can harm you or betray you there. If you have never experienced betrayal or theft as an unlimited being, you may not fully grasp your unlimited nature. Thus, you choose to face these experiences to gain a deeper understanding of your unlimited self. Ultimately, you seek to discover your true essence. This is the purpose of challenges.
The Veil of Illusion
The issue arises when, as an unlimited being, you are aware that you are unlimited; nothing can present a challenge because knowing that you are unlimited, you would overcome it before it fully materializes. To solve this dilemma, heaven employs what is known as “the veil.” Similar to a bride’s veil, you recognize her but it partially obscures her face. You can’t see her “fully” until you lift the veil. In the same way, heaven’s veil does not allow you to see yourself as an unlimited being until the veil is lifted, which we call “awakening.”
Embracing the Earthly Experience
For a soul to undertake the challenge of Earth, it must don this veil and forget its unlimited nature—otherwise, there would be no challenge. Souls choose various limitations, and I delve into this further in my “Why Am I Here?” course. Once veiled and on Earth, the soul completely forgets its true identity. I use “it” as a neutral term because spirit has no gender.
The Nature of Deception
This veil is manifested in the form of the human body. The body, mind, and thoughts are unique to physical existence. The unlimited creator being loses sight of the fact that it is unlimited and begins to identify with the voice in its head—“thoughts.” Deceived into believing that its thoughts are its own, it starts to identify with its physical form, living in a realm of deception and limitation. The challenge, then, is to awaken to its original, unlimited nature by piercing through the veil. This awakening experience is more of a gradual process than a single event. The journey of awakening to our true selves is what we are here for.
The Hidden Power Within
You are inherently unstoppable and limitless, yet you have forgotten. Inside a body designed to sabotage itself with limiting thoughts and false identities, you have accepted this challenge and crafted it this way. The body is shaped to encourage you to succumb to limitations by instilling identification with thoughts.
The Internal Battle
The true struggle lies within. The internal dialogue will discourage you from pursuing your desires by convincing you that you are that very voice. If you can step “out of your head” and tap into your true essence, you can achieve anything you set your intentions toward. Notice, I didn’t say you can accomplish anything your MIND desires; you are not the mind. That is the crux of my message. The voice in your head is not your true self. That voice represents the matrix. The deception.
The Journey of Awakening
My awakening journey has been long, and I am grateful for the illusion and challenge I accepted. Discovering my true self has been an incredible revelation. It is one thing to be told who you are; it’s entirely different to awaken from illusion and truly KNOW who you are—not being defined by your body or thoughts is one of the most profound experiences imaginable!
Finding Clarity in the Illusion
I should add that while I was identified with my body, concepts like this one would have been impossible for me to grasp. I encountered them through subtle hints I left for myself, like droplets of insight. Over time, exposure to different perspectives and others’ near-death experiences gradually nudged me awake. So, I understand when someone initially rejects this message; it’s part of the design that keeps them veiled. But when the time is right, this message will resonate with them.
The Greatest Gift of All
So, what is the greatest gift you can give an unlimited being? The illusion of limitation!
