You probably don’t need me to highlight this gnarly fact, but the world appears to be losing its mind! If, like me, you’ve been scratching the bulbous weighty thing atop your neck, wondering how to navigate these crazy times, allow me to proffer some insight that might help.
Before I begin, I am the author of Conversations with Blob, which is an existential exchange between me and a wise, warm, and witty entity. While the book is fiction, it is a vehicle through which I communicate carefully researched, time-honoured wisdom as comprehensively as possible. This article emphasises a few salient points lifted from its pages. But what follows is specifically for you! It’s no coincidence that you’ve stumbled across this when there is a gazillion other articles to choose from. This is what you need to hear right here, right now!
NEVER FORGET WHO YOU ARE
Back to the world, spinning off its axis. You are not a pathetic creature, quivering in a corner, hopeless and afraid, doing all in your power not to plug your mouth with your thumb to stop yourself from blubbering! You may have been conditioned to think you are powerless, but you are not. You are so much more than a human with a mouth full of teeth! You are a limitless being blind to your own godliness. You are a spirit in the material world. You are powerful beyond measure.
Zoom out from the banality of the world, and you will experience a wisp of your truth. You are a jewel in the crown of the universe. You are an exquisite energy form gliding through life. You are colour, light and melody, an exquisite work of art, a masterpiece precious beyond measure.
Therefore, no matter how much the world bares its fangs, remember that you are pure divine consciousness in human form, and nothing can impinge on that truth. Ever!
NEVER FORGET TO LOVE
When you’re in the grips of fear, it’s hard to paint a daisy on your cheek and flounce about as the embodiment of peace. But you get to choose whether you exist in a state of love or fear. Given that you’re a powerful entity having a human experience, it’s strongly recommended that you choose love. It’s not as impossible as it sounds. Why? Because you are love personified. You are pure, uncorrupted, take-your-breath away love. You pulse with the stuff!
Planet Crazy maxing out on fear is precisely when you need to remind yourself of this and extend love and compassion like never before. How? How can you when the world appears to be spinning off its axis? By staying alert for loving opportunities in all situations, always, and extending it whenever you can. By unifying with those around you rather than quibbling over what’s ‘up’ or ‘down’. By separating distraction from what truly matters: love, kindness, forgiveness, gentleness, and understanding. By remembering that we are connected, all of us, forever, always, amen.
You were born to love and be loved, to share love and light. It is natural for you to love. It is unnatural for you not to. So don’t be afraid to step into your power and love fearlessly. When all is said and done, the only thing that matters is love, love, love!
NEVER FORGET WHY YOU CAME
I know you’ve posed this particular question several times over: Why am I here? Seriously, WTF, WHY? Well, you’re here to stay connected with those around you, to be a bastion of love and peace. You’re here to help. The world needs your service. And an awareness of your divine consciousness and that of others has never been more crucial. The world is dying for illumination at this time, so shine your light as brightly as you can. Be the light that you are!
Remember, you are a powerful, infinite and wondrous being who decided—for a purpose so vast and interconnected that it near-defies explanation—to play the game of life, to flick on the switch, to remember your true nature despite Earth’s trials, to shine a light so that others might see, to help end the fallacy of separation, to awaken from the dream, to shake off spiritual amnesia, and to love even – no, especially – during times of adversity.
You came here to hold out a tiny torch to assist those who are lost – those who worship their egos, power, control, materialism, fear, separation and terror with little thought for much else. There are billions like you, like me, like us. If we all remember our true selves, why we are here, and what we came here to do, our individual torches will coalesce into a light so bright that the insanity of the world would be saturated into obscurity.
Friend, make no mistake. You are a spiritual warrior, and despite the world’s craziness, you will excel in what you set out to do. You are destined to awaken with the world’s madness-playing catalyst.
