Imagine God, or First Source, as an infinite piece of clay -- God having no gender. This image, of course, is just a metaphor or an allegory for better comprehension, as God does not have a shape or form -- God just IS. Now imagine that this piece of clay is all that exists, all that has ever existed and all that will ever exist. Picture God existing outside the Physical Universe, outside the space/time continuum. Hence, First Source has always existed, because where It resides, there is no time or space.

Imagine First Source wanting to expand and experience Itself by creating a fantastic game with unpredictable outcomes -- but still, there are some set rules that need to be followed to avoid total chaos.

Higher SelfImagine First Source, still an infinite piece of clay, taking parts of Itself and create smaller pieces of clay. With some of these pieces It creates Universes. These Universes, being a part of First Source, are alive and are now acting a co-creators by creating galaxies, which in their turn give birth to stars, then planets, human, animals, plants and so forth.

Now, First Source has created the Universes as parts of Itself. Next, It creates different densities from the energy which the Universes consist of. Each density is a reality by itself, with its own experiences.

Energy is in constant motion and of different vibration, forming different densities. Motion creates time, time being movement in space. When energy becomes really dense, it accumulates into matter. In the lower densities, like the third density, in which we live, matter is very solid, because energy vibrates very slowly. The higher up the densities, the less condense the matter and the bodies spirits inhabit, until in the highest frequency ranges, the solid bodies become more like "light bodies", which are much more transparent. They vibrate much faster and are thus invisible for us denser beings in 3rd Density/Dimension.

Everything in the Universe is alive and a part of First Source -- a part of the "clay". You and I, as spirits inhabiting a body, are also part of First Source and Its super-consciousness -- we may picture ourselves as "miniature" versions of God.

First Source, after have set certain rules how these different Universes should operate, is getting ready to experience the "game", where we, and all other living things, are players.

Our purpose -- the meaning of life -- is to have experiences, learn from them and transmit these experiences back to First Source, so It can experience Itself. Amnesia is part of it, because if we remember exactly who we are and all our past lives etc, there wouldn't be a game. We would be quickly bored, because we know the outcome of everything. Therefore, amnesia is necessary to have an experience and to learn from lessons.

Evolution takes places both in the physical universe and in spirit. The more we learn, we start vibrating on a higher frequency, and eventually, normally as a group, we can ascend to higher existences, which are less dense and closer to First Source.

The End Game is to ascend up the densities until we once again connect with First Source and become ONE with It, just like we once were. After that, probably a new game will start.

This is of course very simplified, but is basically what it is all about. Hence, there are life-forms in all densities, but we can only perceive the density we live in, and the ones below ours, which are the 2nd Density (plants and animal life) and the 1st Density (the four elements).

The clay allegory works as a basic metaphor, but it would be even more correct to say that the pieces of clay, which represent the separate parts of First Source, are not existing outside of First Source, but rather inside. If First Source is all there is, the physical universe should be perceived more like being inside First Source. For the purpose of this article, however, it is not that important -- what's important is to grasp the concept.

So let's take a look at our lives in general.

I'm sure it has happened on occasion that you woke up in the morning, started doing your thing and then thought, "I feel good today. I really feel like myself!"

So what is "myself"?

Your spontaneous answer would probably be something in line with, "that's who I really am".

We are made to believe that we all are separate from each other, and we all agree that people have different personalities and therefore we see ourselves as separate beings. However, if we look at the allegory above, we realize that we are ultimately all ONE, basically different parts of the big body of clay, and thus, there is no real separation. We are all ONE with First Source, and to take it even further, we ARE First Source.

From when we were babies and throughout life, we develop our personalities due to inner changes made from own decisions and outside experiences. More often than not, our personalities change because of these outside experiences. We learn how to act and react upon different situations -- sometimes we do it rationally and sometimes not. Either way, we do it in an attempt to survive better, based upon the knowledge we have at a particular moment in time.

Like I mentioned a little bit in a previous article, we create an opinion of another person when we meet them. Usually we have an idea of how they are from our first impression, and then the more we see them, our idea either stays more or less the same, changes to some extent, or perhaps even radically. Then we decide whether we like them or not. Sometimes the reaction when we meet a new person is so negative that we don't ever want to see that person again -- perhaps without really knowing why. It works the same the other way around -- we find someone we immediately like and that feeling just grows.

The reason we don't like a certain personality is that he or she is bringing forth parts of ourselves that we don't want to look at -- we have chosen not to express them, or let them have too much influence on our lives. So we reject these emotions and don't want to confront them, especially if they are considered evil, strange, or outside the norm. These emotions make us uncomfortable and afraid not to be accepted by other separate selves, i.e. other persons or groups. So we avoid these persons, attack them, talk about their "shortcomings" to others behind their backs to make them agree with us, or we become afraid of them. Then, to the same degree we react like this, we also avoid to develop our own separate selves, working even harder on suppressing the unpleasant parts of our personalities that we saw in that other person (our "other-self").

Instead, it would be much better to recognize these "unpleasant emotions" within ourselves, acknowledge that we have them but have decided not to express them. We will notice that by doing so we will be much better in dealing with difficult personalities, and as a consequence we grow spiritually. By eventually mastering this, we affect our environment in a more positive way because we have now developed a much greater understanding of how the human mind and spirit work. Subsequently, we can bring about an acceptance, tolerance and love for a person we previously couldn't stand. After all, if we judge someone else, all we really do is to judge ourselves, because that person is you, and you are him/her.

Being part of the One Supreme Consciousness means we have all the emotions there are under the sun and moon at our convenience -- actors are experts in bringing them to surface, much so because they consider themselves "just playing a role" and therefore, the unpleasant emotions they are showing on the screen are accepted by the masses -- it's "safe", because it's not considered "real". Consciously and subconsciously, we decide who we want to be -- we develop and make changes to our own personality every second of our lives. It's just a matter of which parts of the "Universal Personality" we want to bring forth in ourselves and express. These combined parts will be "you"--the separate self.

Still, there are people who are criminals, mass murderers and control freaks. Why do these people choose to be like that when we all can choose to bring about a nice personality complex instead and everybody would be loving, helpful and happy?

Well, the 3rd Density is a pretty harsh place to dwell in. Because we all have free will, we can create our own realities, but we also have to take responsibility for the consequences of our decisions. We were born with only a small part of the Universal Consciousness activated which means we have to learn the hard way due to that we don't know everything. We are here to learn. Because of ignorance, we often make decisions that affect ourselves and others negatively and sometimes we don't take responsibility for our own actions, and someone gets hurt. Then we may even blame our own actions that we don't want to take responsibility for, on somebody else. It will easily create a snowball effect and we pretty soon live in a world where we need to fight to survive, due to that we have to live with the consequences of our own actions and inactions. In such environment, control over others has been one way of coping with life and death.

Of course, not everything that happens to us is our fault, but it's important that we look at any situation that is in front of us, take responsibility for that it's there, and figure out how we can learn from it. This is the way to expand ourselves and get in control over your lives, both physically and spiritually. We all have great powers to make great decisions, and by blaming others for our conditions just gives our power away to someone else, saying they are more powerful than we. If this becomes a pattern, we will not only stop growing, but will soon decline both physically and spiritually. In the extension, by constantly blaming others for our own situations, we will create a "criminal mind". That's all a criminal is -- someone who is unwilling to take responsibility for his/her own actions and blame others for their situations.

Control is coming out of fear and this planet is run by beings who control us negatively. We need to understand this to be able to put ourselves above this game of negative control and learn not to be victims. Everything that happens to us does so for a reason and although it seems unfair and hurts, it's a positive thing, because we can learn from each and every experience we have and that's the only way we grow in spirit! Every time we blame someone else for the situation we're in, we're taking one step backwards toward darkness and even more struggle.

Remember, we have infinite potentials.

Time is speeding up tremendously as we close in on the alignment with the Galactic Center in 2012. This fact often puts us in overwhelming situations that may seem hard to control, because we appear to have so many lessons to learn. Not everybody will be able to cope and make it through -- those who have the knowledge of who they really are will have the best chances to survive. It's never too late to change -- we need to make totally clear to ourselves what our goals are, take one situation at the time, analyze it, see what we can learn from it and change our patterns and make sure we actually move towards our goals. Stay determined!

Once we've learnt ONE hard lesson from a tough situation, that situation will eventually stop reoccurring because of "lesson learned". We will no longer attract those energies and we can move on...
