Life does not offer us guarantees. If it did, we would not
learn/remember how to create. We are creators. That is what we are supposed to
be doing... remembering how to create like the gods we are. That is what we are
here for! We are gods.
At the time I read “Ye Are Gods”, by Annalee Skaren, back in the
early 1980s, there was so much I did not understand. The first time I tried to
read that book, I couldn't read more than a page or two before I would fall
asleep. The book went back on the shelf. Three years later, I picked it up
again and read with partial understanding. Almost everything I have learned
since, is that we create our own realities, our own lives, our own
destinies...as we go along. That is what Skarin was telling us.
Our life is one decision after another. Each decision that we
make, or could have made, has a myriad of possible outcomes. Each possibility has
it’s own consequences. We keep choosing. It’s one fork in the road after
another.
If life gave us guarantees, we would have no reason to create for
ourselves. Life can be unpredictable, boring even, until we get the hang of visualization. Once we learn to
focus on what it is we want (the more detail the better), then we create what
it is we want. We are creators, not discoverers. This is when we begin to
understand that we are, indeed, gods.
Don’t misunderstand me…I’m still learning how to do this.
(I started writing the above on March 17, 2015. The very next
day, in the sports section of the morning newspaper, I read what I consider
conformation of my thoughts.)
Geno Auriemma (coach of the UConn women’s basketball team) was
interviewed about the excellence of his program. Regarding his success with the
women’s program, he is quoted as saying, ‘”We created it. We created the world
that we live in. This world didn’t exist. We made it…”’ Geno knows that without
his ‘vision’, there would not be this degree of excellence!
