Hello my loves,

If you are spiritually advanced you know that the past, present and future all exist in Now. Still, in our humanness we perceive time progressively and consecutively. This is a good thing. Without the perception of the linear, everything would appear to happen at once and we would be infinitely busier than we already are!

One of the qualities of the lineality of time we don't like so much is the sense that we are bound by what came before. We often yearn to break free from the past. We want to reinvent ourselves, move somewhere else, take new names, change professions and mates. It doesn't work, of course. Never has. Who we are as people is infinitely more complex than a few, readily changeable aspects. We are actually the sum total of all that we have felt, thought and done before.

If we believe we are responsible for creating our lives then this enormous collection of past experiences is a huge burden to be dragged forward. In fact the sheer weight of the past is what inspires the idea that we should cut ourselves off from it and start fresh.

There is a different possible approach. It is to realize that in our humanity we are the creations not the Creator. To accept that we are as we are, the complex summation of all that has come before. And most importantly we must realize that change is inevitable and unpredictable. We are shaped by the past but we are not bound by it. Whether evolutionary or revolutionary, change happens. The butterfly was not bound by being a caterpillar. Its past was an integral part of what it is now.

Paradoxically, when this is fully seen, we realize we, as creations, are nothing less than the Creator made manifest.

May it find you now!

With much love,
Wayne
