This is not the first time that someone has predicted then end of the world, nor will it be the last. Each and everyday people are searching the Bible for clues to understand what God has in store for us. Of course what human being doesn't feel better about "KNOWING" what is getting ready to happen?
But what if you did KNOW that the world was going to end, what difference in your life would it make? What if what Jesus said in the Bible is true, "Heaven is here on Earth." And of course I love the Lord's Prayer which states, "..your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven...." This is profound in so many ways. And what is it that God is asking us to do here? For me it means bringing heaven here to earth, being the Being that reflects the Divine within me, or above me if that makes you feel better.
How can we have heaven on earth when we are still dividing ourselves as bad, good, right or wrong.? As Jesus also stated, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." As long as we are dividing ourselves that only one group of people are going to make it into heaven then we are still using judgment as an external thing and are utilizing this judgment as our tool in righteousness, rather than what Judgment was actually designed to help us do.
What is that? That the speck that we see in our brothers eye is actually our own log that is blocking us from the kingdom within, and that we are to pay attention to our own plank rather than our brothers speck. Once we take our own plank then we are able to have clarity and upon this clarity we realize that our brother never really had any speck of sawdust in his eyes, it was truly our own perception.
But why do people continue to judge others and place value on rank, such as Christian or not Christian, making it appear as if if you are titled a Christian then there is a sense of ownership of the kingdom. People, the only kingdom you have ownership of is your own, no one elses. It is not for another to decided how another should pray, nor is it for another to say that if you don't believe in Jesus Christ you can't get into heaven for this puts the responsibility only on knowing someone rather than applying the lessons he came to witness.
But why do they continue to judge? Simply because the Law is real and people feel it within the depth of their core, that law is the law of judgment. Jesus gives us the answer in how to have heaven here on earth, he is telling us that we prevent this from coming into our awareness while still seeing that everyone else is wrong.
Well, GOOD!!! Now use it to see how you are dividing yourself from the divine. The answer to how to do this was already given to us, now apply it within your own life and watch the miracles unfold. Reverse everything that you think you see of your brother and own it, remove the plank from you own eye to see how or why you did this. Then, just maybe then you'll be able to ascend to the heaven within.
Taking full responsibility for what you see in another can be a strain at first and many will run and hide from it. I have even seen people in organization that believe that we are 100% responsible for our world, but fail to see within themselves how the world is the way that it is right now. However you are seeing it is how YOU are creating it.
I did not judge this man for him believing this was going to be the end of life as we know it for there are many lessons he is sharing with everyone. It was within his own heart that he truly believed in what he believed, we should all honor each others integrity. Just because it doesn't align for you doesn't mean it isn't true for another. And just because you do not align with his views doesn't make him wrong and you right, but as long as you view it that way you can use how you have judged him and apply it to your life.
The greatest lesson that we all can learn from this is we are stuck with each other, and that maybe, just maybe we all need to learn to work in harmony with one another rather than fighting over who's going to make it to heaven and who's not. We should all be encouraging each other the heaven within by being LOVE. And trying to kill each other off just so that we don't have to see the reflection that our brother is providing at the time only leaves us further from this heaven within.
The other lesson we can learn from this is, instead of trying to decode the bible, to start apply it in our daily lives of fulfilling the Laws that are written within its pages. And if you don't read the bible that's okay to, just live life the best you can. Live life with respect to life and you will already be fulfilling the greatest law there is, the Law of Love.
God has purpose for you whether you believe in him or not just because you are here. So you are of service to man whether you want to accept it or not, or believe it or not. Each and everyday we are serving each other, but it is through our choice in how we want to continue to be of service to each other that will make the biggest difference in HEAVEN here on EARTH.
Do we want to be of service with fear, hate, greed, jealousy, envy, and lust; or do we want to be of service with love, understanding, wisdom, kindness, acceptance, and peace? Every opportunity in life is a chance to allow our divine essence to bear witness to humanity. Every opportunity of judgment is a chance to allow our unconditional love for our brother to lift us and THEM up. Every opportunity of sadness is the chance to learn of our joy from within.
How are you trying to Decode your life in order to KNOW it all rather than allowing the mystery of God to infuse your being and bringing the light of life into your world through love?
Enjoy your day to the fullest and live life with integrity.
Love, Velvete
