Every single thing is a spiritual test!

When things get really tough for us sometimes we forget that everything is a spiritual test or realization for us. There is nothing that is happening that's not for the purpose of our growth and awareness.

But what about people that try to prevent others from growing, only giving them the advice or direction that they feel a person should go in? What about a person or group of people that are always controlling a situation at work or at home, or keeping people from communicating, interacting, or becoming ONE? These people simply only "think" they are in control of their life spiritual lessons, feeling that they are in control of the teaching; or better yet what others should be learning. However, this is a grave mistake that many ego's make and one that is surely to bring about a slow death.

As we witness such people we can learn how to respond instead of react. The people that display the above character are reacting out of lack. They have felt little all of their life and now try to control others in order to have some sort of power. But the power is never external, it is ALWAYS internal. However, the "little" assistant that goes around trying to keep everything under control is the real danger, why? Because this is a person that is taking the right, or choice of another away in their experience in order for the "assistant" to feel empowered. This kind of power is always short lived. Sure it may seem someone is in office way too long that has this kind of character, but what is long?

All lessons in life are about how we will choose to respond to whatever arises. All experiences in life are for the individual experiencing them to gain awareness and enlightenment. But the people in our lives that feel they are protecting us in some way and keep us from our experiences and interactions can also be our greatest angels, as always. We can observe the space that is being created for us and the power that is being release within us to expand.

It is truly a person that has the ability to observe without reacting that becomes the true master of his own soul, not the ego. Sure there are people that think, "Once I master this I'll be in control." You are NEVER in control. It is always something much bigger than us at work that is guiding and directing the play for the lesson we've come to learn.

For the person that is always over stepping their bounds or always in the middle of shit coming across as though they have good intentions in protecting others, well....these are the people that you need to observe even more closely than the person that is robbing people out in the open.

The people in hiding are the parts of yourself that you've hidden deep within your subconscious mind that's now "controlling" the play. It is through these little shadows/fears, that drive our reality into being what it is.

If you are constantly struggling with making people do the right thing, then you yourself have failed to see where you need to bring rightness into your own life. We all do it! There is not one of us that are not guilty of the wrongness that we've hidden deep within the subconscious mind. But all we need to do is observe and we free ourselves of these nasty little programs that are now controlling us rather than being able to make a choice in freedom.

The ego uses all kinds of tricks in making us believe that what we are doing is right, even when it comes to giving someone love. It is our responsibility as a united human race to show equal love and unconditional love to all people. But the ego has a strange way of controlling us by making us feel that we are the only person in another person's life that brings balance to that individual. We've all heard it before, "Oh my husband completes me" or "I don't know how to live without her". We have surrendered our power over to the ego and it has allowed us to believe that we are not complete unless there is someone else in our lives.

The "God" happy person is able to be happy alone or with others. The truly joyful person is able to experience happiness even while they are alone at home. I learned this earlier on this year. I was put into a position by God to embrace solitude in order to understand and learn where my true joy and happiness was coming from, from within. This was going to be important for the next part of my journey of observing others. We cannot become attached to a particular outcome, when we do we fail the mission of observation and responding, to attachment and reacting.

Clear your mind today and write down everything that you witness around you. Then later tonight or tomorrow go back to your list and write down whether you wanted to respond or react to that situation, or whether you "did" react or respond. Next write down the lesson you feel that you got from that experience, and where you feel that power was being hidden within the subconscious mind. This means whether it was fear, anxiety, or loss and the situation that you feel brought that hidden quality up for you.

Many times we don't need to respond to anything while in the moment but rather it is for us to respond to naturally within us. I'll give you an example. If a person comes to you and tells you that "they" are a very creative person and that this job is preventing them from expanding to their full potential then how would you handle this? First, they are you. A person that is reactive would probably tell the person that they are a great person and that this town needs them, and a reactive person would first feel fear of losing this person. For me I responded, not externally but internally. I know this is my inner self speaking to me asking me, "What the hell are you doing here?" LOL, asked myself that question often. But I had to listen further to get my clues. I'm learning and understanding that my creativity is being restricted. I am being restricted in everything I do, say, write, etc., etc. So then the next question is how or why would I do that? Well this same beautiful angel gave this answer to.......I don't know how to project myself to where I want to be.

Beautiful isn't it? See how wonderful it is when we observe and respond, rather than become attached and react? I'm not quite ready to spread my wings into a new direction for I know there is more for me to learn, but not much more. How do I know that? Because the patterns that I observed when I first stepped foot into this lesson are reverting back again. This means that there is no longer a connection for me. When we lose those connections it's time to move on, our lesson has been learned and now we are ready for a new lesson. LIFE is all about the lessons, experiences, and growth.

Of course, as with any death there is a mourning period. It's a time that where there is no longer any suffering and that a transition has occurred. When these transitions happen in the physical world they tend to be a little uncomfortable simply because you are now vibrating at a whole new level of awareness.

I'm excited about my new adventure that is occurring, even though I can't see what that is right now. My heart quickens and my spirit is jumping with joy within my body. I feel my unity with the divinity and creativity of my soul.

Enjoy your day and learn where you've put your power. Is it in the external world with the subconscious mind at the helm, or is in internal with the divine consciousness as the director? Your choice, your will, your right to awaken. God is not there hitting us over the head telling us that our creation is wrong or bad because He sees it all good in our own ability to learn POWER.
