Question: Is your present human life the result of your own choosing and planning?
Many people reading this blog or talking with me question my premise of whether or not we have chosen human life much less chosen the circumstances and parameters within which we find ourselves in our current human lives (like gender, family, country, historical time, etc.) Long ago I was one of you. I, too, wallowed in the heavy tar pits of conflict, doubt, fear and helplessness. I, too, had been brainwashed by the constant forces of acculturation, education, and media bombardment. But things changed. I "awakened" to my free and independent self. I began to hear a voice that was coming from within me--a voice that told me that I had choices, that I didn't have to listen to the constant barrage coming from outside me that were telling me what I "had" to do and what I "should or shouldn't" do. I chose to listen to that voice, to explore the information that it revealed, and I found that that information felt better. It made more sense to me. It felt more hopeful, more real, more truthful. The result of that long road of exploration, of allowing intuition to flow, of trying to satisfy my insatiable curiosity is this! This blog! My unshakable spirituality.
Spirituality. The recognition of and connection to a spiritual element of life. The acknowledgment that while I have a body, I am much more than my physical senses; while I have emotions, I am much more than my feelings; while I have thoughts, I am much more than my intellect. I am an individuated Spark of the Divine, a Wave in the Great Ocean of Creation, a representative of the Cosmic Consciousness. I am the driver of this human vehicle in the emotion-based Earth Plane experience.
In these blogpposts I have gone so far as to assert that we, while in the Spirit World, very carefully plan not only the circumstances of our birth but all of the major life events and patterns that might unfold in this lifetime. I know. Several times I, Drew Fisher, have had the privilege of being present in the company of my team of councillors and helper souls; I have had my metaphysical suspicions and beliefs validated many, many times while living this life as Drew Fisher.
The planning process for Earth School participation is similar to the process of preparing a play for the stage. The playwright gets together with some experienced writers, a directorial staff, and a cast of actors to introduce the story. You yourself have prepared a skeleton script with the help of the valued input of your creative team of advisors and fellow actors. Once everyone is happy and properly committed to the "play" and their roles within the play (and it fits into their own individual scripts) then you jump in and begin trying to realize your script. The variables of unforeseen and 'probable' events versus 'possible' lines of cause and effect make the Earth School experience more of an exercise in improvisational skill. This helps to account for the high degree of tension and surprise, adventure and excitement, the ups and downs of the human experience.
The actual staging of the play is quite uncontrolled--filled with surprises and ad libs (which are due to what we call "free will")--artistic flourishes that might take the story a little off course--that might, in fact, cause major deviations from the story's original intentions. How well prepared you are--how practiced you are from previous experiences and the comfortable or familiar patterns you've used before (in other lifetimes)--all play important roles in your ability to "stick to the script."
Most of us are far less prepared than we think we are. We are often overly optimistic or over-ambitious in planning our "play." It is in these cases that we find ourselves falling into patterns of Ego domination and/or emotional behaviors that are either familiar to us from previous incarnations or that are strongly modeled to us from within our family and societal/cultural surroundings. Regardless of how well we perform according to the original script, you can rest assured that there are always lessons galore to revel over and learn from.
Many of you have unknowingly allowed your family, society, innate curiosities, and/or inner logic to help you form mental constructs which deny the existence of a spiritual world. For many of you, these constructs have become recalcitrant, that is, you have become so attached to your belief systems as to resist and repel even the possibility that any new information could be worth considering. You question the reality of a spiritual self and dismiss the idea that there could be a spiritual agenda and cosmic plan behind the empirical appearances of the human and Earth experiences. For you I can only shrug my shoulders and ask, "So, why are you here (reading this blog)?"
If you are drawn to topics like this one I would argue that you have some intuitive attraction to these topics, an innate curiosity. Your attraction to my words could be coming from an internal unsettledness (a so-called "Divine discontent") that is urging you to learn more, to explore, to test your self and your beliefs. It could be an anxiousness of insecurity that strives to feel more security (in such forms as new knowledge, new options, new stimuli).
Your attraction could be coming from a defensive posture. The Ego/Personality hates change. It tries to remain comfortable where it is most familiar. This usually results in its defense of its personal opinions or beliefs against ideas or opinions coming from "outsiders." And yet we are often paradoxically attracted to those things that are most scary and unknown to us.
Your attraction could also be the result of a combative neurological behavior pattern based on an addiction to adrenaline stimulation. (A lot of people become addicted to the adrenaline rush that comes with the "flight or fight" response of Autonomic Nervous System activity.)
Insatiable intellectual curiosity is another possible reason you were drawn here. Or, synchronicity may have attracted this information to you (i.e. you were drawn to this information, this event in your life, by the natural flow and inclinations of your established psychological patterns).
In any event, welcome! Be well come! I hope that you are able to find use of this information--whether as a test and then reconfirmation of your current beliefs and values or whether to help you become reacquainted with knowledge or wisdom that you already held inside you but were looking for help in order to bring to consciousness. You may remember this kind of occurrence from many instances of your life: instances in which you hear or read something that you have never heard or seen before but that you instantly recognize as being "right" or "truth" (or their opposites). Some people are more aware and sensitive to these kind of moments. If you have every heard of the educational psychology theories of multiple intelligences, you will know of one or more of the systems that recognize between three and eleven categories or forms of intelligence. Most of us have heard of the three learning styles that include "kinesthetic," "auditory" and "visual." Or we have heard of the implications or generalizations associated with people who are (supposedly) right brain or left-brain dominant. You probably know (or know of) people who are particularly developed in areas of imagination and intuition, practicality or logic, language or music, math or science, mechanical or spatial relations, physical or athletics, emotional or empathic, insight or mental capacity--and many others. Each of us has our particular strengths and gifts (as well as weaknesses). While we tend more to explore and develop the areas in which we are stronger or gifted, from a spiritual perspective it is often our Soul's desire to work on developing the weaker areas of our being--to that end of becoming more 'well-rounded' and, theoretically, better equipped to handle more situations (at different or "higher" levels of responsibility).
Those of you who have followed these blogposts from the beginning know that Journeyman Paul has had a strong role in helping me, Drew Fisher, to try to travel pathways outside my comfort zone. Due to the familiarity of past life patterns and the accrued developmental strengths and weaknesses in my spiritual makeup, the most comfortable path I could have taken would have been within a monastic life or within a fairly safe and predictable social environment (which, one could argue, I did anyway by choosing to be an late 20th Century American). Most naturally, my daily focus would have been spending lots of time immersing myself into the pursuit and gathering of intellectual knowledge, Beauty, Love and Truth. The path of a scholar. And yet, somehow, I have, time and time again, made choices that are outside, even contrary to, my comfort zones. The most important choices I have made have felt quite risky, even scary. For example: Living with people--living within society at large. Traveling. Teaching. Marrying and having children. Going into the healing arts. Writing and speaking for public consumption. All the while I find myself constantly retreating to the 'safety' of my solitary alone time, seeking to feed my lust for artistic and intellectual stimulation (especially, music and knowledge).
Born into an affluent family in a very affluent society, I consciously chose to eschew the dominant mentality of accumulating and seeking power, wealth, property, and possessions. I have also consciously chosen not to give my power away to the scam that is "health" "insurance," the disease-is-big-business allopathic medical paradigm, the Demopulican political puppet show, the corporate media brainwashing game, the crowd-controlling and spirit-denying machinations of fear-based religions, and the pressures of seasonal sensational consumer/throw away culture. I have made many, many choices that run counter to the dominant paradigms of 20th/21st Century "civilized" culture. Why? Because none of them feels right. None of them feel honorable to the sanctity and special gift that is Life and the Life Spirit much less to human potential, to Mother Nature, to the spirit of abstracts. None of them honors, recognizes or even allows for the the sacred Divinity in all things. All of them seek to intentionally cloud humanity within a shroud of child-like fear and ignorance; all of the seek to intentionally enslave humankind within an endless maze of powerlessness and dependencies.
It is my belief that we have all chosen the Earth incarnations that we currently occupy. My life experiences have provided me with more than ample proof of this belief. My day-to-day experiences add to and reinforce this knowledge. Therefore, let me say it again:
We have chosen, all of us, to come to Earth at this particular time in order to test ourselves, in order to fight the upstream battle for mastery and Self-realization in the most turbulent and darkest of times (spiritually). Our solar system is traveling a 24,000 year circuitous journey around its binary center. With 10,500 years to go before "reuniting" with its own Pleiadian twin, the great Sol, supporter of all Earthly life, has only recently begun its return back toward its strongest, healthiest state. Near its twin, the Sun recharges itself as it is bathed and reenergized with the power of Love.
The Earth is traveling along as a companion or child of the Sun. It has, therefore, just passed through a period in which it is farthest removed from the strongest effects of Light and Love. Spiritually, the Earth it has just passed through its darkest times, a period in which it has been most susceptible to disharmony and dis-ease, a period in which Ignorance and Fear have had their most opportune chances to sway our psyches. Consequently, the majority of us--Earth-dwellers that we are--will struggle with Fear and Ignorance throughout this and other Earth incarnations--which is fine! Fear and Ignorance are wonderful learning tools when participating in the Game Fields of the Great Illusions of Duality. Some of us will "pass our tests" and achieve a state of recognition, use and even mastery of the Grand Illusions--that is, achieve the full use of Spiritual Law while in the molasses pit of human experience. The term "enlightenment" is, after all, not only a recognition of a greater presence and flow of Light but also a lightening effect to spirit. Each time we recognize the heaviness of Ego-personality choices of struggle and conflict, pain and suffering, and then choose something else, something other than those heavy, emotion-based perspectives we are in fact lightening our load, casting off or choosing not to take on more burden or weight. And that's it! That is the whole point of taking a trip into the human form on the Earth School plane: Learning to recognize the illusory nature of Maya, of the physical- material world, and to then choose Light, Love, Beauty, Truth, Joy, Spirit and The Divine over their alternatives.
