Hi, Friends,
I really love Cary and Catherine's distinctions between playing God and playing Savior. It suits me intellectually just fine, and is delightfully amusing, but it doesn't yet cover something I really value
in my experience, so I think it needs tweaking for me to integrate it into my cosmology.
What I've discovered is that "helping" for me not only survives the gateway between Savior and God but actually transcends anything I knew before into a whole new experience of shared bliss. I call the new
version, Peer Mastery. I have friends who daily help me remember that reality doesn't mean diddly squat and to remember to refocus again and again on what I am wanting in the bigger picture. I daily help
them to do the same thing. It's a very big win-win, a grand game of giggles and huggles and lovingness, which is probably quite revolting to people in other vibrations to watch. LOL
Peer mastery has two necessary components. Peers and mastery. Peers in misery just isn't the same thing at all. <grin>
And the peer we approach to share mastery with can be an author in a book, dead or alive, a contemporary teacher, minister or speaker, or any random loved one or friend. To work with taking the idea to a
more expanded level does not require convincing the originator of the idea in your experience that he or she is wrong. You can take an idea offered by anyone that doesn't feel quite right yet and talk to
someone else about it to take it to a higher level. You can even take it in your own mind and play with it. Once the idea is loose in the ethers, anyone gets to leap frog with it!
Maybe that's why playing at the level of the ethers is so liberating and allows so much more energy to flow...?
Perhaps the Gateway beyond playing God is simply being God. And I wonder what comes after that! Being? And after that, endless whatever... <grin>
It is really helping me to rethink my attitudes toward a whole lot of stuff I used to push against in my world. As I can embrace more of all that in love, and formulate my new vision in ways that allow me
to communicate more of all the beauty I see, I believe I raise the vibration of the planet I get to play on, and that is my intention, so it makes me even more joyful. I don't need to address whether that
is the planet anyone else gets to play on. As I get more multidimensional in my thinking, all those possibilities expand far faster than I can think yet easily. So I go back to focusing on what is
happening in my own life. It's quite restful in comparison.
I am finding that it has been really tempting to me to throw a lot of babies out with the bathwater as I reach a new understanding. For example, if I disrespect helping as solely representing playing the
role of savior, I disrespect the value of all the help I have received in my life, and come from a place of less gratitude. Not what I am wanting. Friends of mine have been helping me learn to moderate
this tendency. And the Abe teaching that serves me best is to remember that "in all things there is that which I want and the lack of it." My work is to focus on the "That which I want" part of everything
and simply release my desire, need, compulsion to look at or talk about or ponder the rest.
Better said, following that instruction to the letter, my only work is to focus on what I want.
And it sure helps me to have friends with the same intention! Ever increasing gratitude for all the help I have received, and continue to receive, along the way is a bigger and bigger proportion of my
vibration. The help I receive from others in opening portals for me is irreplaceable in smoothing and making my evolution more joyful. Perhaps all evolution more joyful. That feels good to me!
Love in, and through, and as, and all around,
Connee
