Here are a Couple of Thoughts/Realizations I Had Regarding the Co-Creating of Our Lives with God

The other day I was having a conversation with a friend on the subject of co-creation and the frustration that can arise when we do not experience that which we have chosen for ourselves. During that conversation I realized a couple things that are essential to this process and may be often overlooked. If you have begun the process of consciously creating your life and are becoming frustrated you may want to read this and see if it helps. I know it has helped me and my friend for that matter.

The first realization I came to was regarding the duality of wanting and deserving. In order to create something in our lives we must first ask ourselves, what do I want? Look at it from the perspective of what you want to add to your life as this is a more positive approach rather than focusing on what is missing. However, realize that wanting something isn’t going to make it so. It is only part of the equation. Wanting something is not enough if you don’t believe you deserve it. I can say that I want lots of joy in my life but if in my thoughts and beliefs I consider myself to be undeserving of joy then how can I realistically experience the joy in my life. I can’t. Our false beliefs concerning what we deserve and what we don’t deserve prevents us from asking for and choosing what we really want. The truth is that you deserve everything. I deserve everything. We deserve everything. Everyone deserves everything. For God this has never been in question. We are the ones who question it by giving power to our false beliefs, illusions and negative thoughts. And there are some who may read this and need a more concrete reason of why they are deserving. Thoughts and beliefs such as: I haven’t done anything to deserve this, I’m not a good person and bad people don’t deserve anything or I am not worthy. Well how about this: you deserve everything for making the absolute sacrifice of leaving the comfort and ecstasy of heaven to engage your spiritual growth through a human experience. When you made the decision to venture from the other side of the veil to this one, your reward was the ability to have it all.

Once we realize that not only is it o.k. for us to decide what we want to add to our lives and have the conviction that we deserve it, we can move on to the next revelation I had which was the duality of asking and receiving. The first step here is our willingness to ask. I know that in my own life I have had trouble in asking for things whether it be from family, friends or even God. I always felt that no matter what happens I can take care of it. I don’t need to rely on anyone else. And how many of us have had the judgment that we cannot rely on others. They can’t take care of it the way we can. Or the familiar saying, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. These are all some of the beliefs and thoughts that prevent us from asking. And if we go deeper into this issue, I think we will find that much of this is simply a mask covering our fears of being vulnerable or weak. However, the truth is that there are circumstances in life that we cannot handle on our own. And there will be other obstacles that we can handle but wouldn’t be so difficult if we but asked for help, guidance, love, etc…

Now at first glance it may seem that once we are able to finally ask that is the only hurdle. Well, not exactly. This is where the duality comes in again. We all know the saying, ask and you shall receive. This is true. When we ask for something, God is more than happy to provide for us and manifest that which we have asked for and chosen in our lives. But no matter how much God gives we must be willing to receive. This is a conscious act. God cannot give to us and receive for us at the same time. So many times we are so focused on giving to others that we neglect ourselves. When your actions have always been centered on giving, it can feel rather weird to finally receive. It’s an uncomfortable experience at first. There will be times when you feel guilty or think there is something wrong with it. But this is just another illusion. In order for any of us to truly give of ourselves we must first give to ourselves for you cannot give that which you do not have.

If it is your goal to create your life with God and you are becoming frustrated don’t just wallow in the frustration but examine and look within and figure out what is missing. It’s possible that you have overlooked one of these principles which are interrelated of course. Not everyone is going to have difficulties with all four of these. It is possible that you are only overlooking one of them. A person can know what they want and ask for it but if they are still gripped by illusions, judgments and old beliefs they will not be able to see themselves as deserving. When you come from a place of not deserving there is no way you can receive no matter how much you try.

For example, Jane is standing in front of her house and decides she wants to add a loving, joyful and healthy relationship to her life experience. She asks God to assist her in manifesting this choice in her life. Well God being God is more than happy to provide this relationship. Behind the scenes, God makes it so that the man of Jane’s dreams happens to be walking down the street right at this moment. So by knowing what she wants and being willing to ask, Jane has created an opportunity for herself. If she feels at all that she is undeserving of this dream man, then she is not going to be willing to receive this opportunity and instead the opportunity will literally pass her by. But, if on the other hand she believes she deserves to be happy and experience joy she will take action and make the most of this opportunity.

In my own life experience, I am at a point where I know what I want and I am more than convinced that I deserve all of it. Thankfully that is no longer in doubt. However, I admit that I am still learning the lessons of asking and receiving. I acknowledge happily that it is getting easier for me to ask for help and guidance and now it is more a question of being open to receive. But once you’re aware of these issues/problem areas it is much easier to address them and work to change the beliefs that created them. And once they’re released you are free of them.

As you can see every step in this process is one where we move closer and closer to being comfortable with ourselves and recognizing our inherent divineness. A person who loves themselves unconditionally knows what they want in life, is convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that they deserve it, have no problem asking for it and are more than willing to receive it once it is presented. This is the quintessential co-creator. This is a state of being that we are all moving toward and thank God for that. And I mean that. I thank God for guiding me and assisting me in my journey to divineness.
