Life is a Learning Lab

Life is not a test of our morality. Life is not a dangerous path of temptations where we prove our purity.

Life is an experience. Life is an experiment. Life is a learning lab where we are free to try strange, new things to see what happens.

Life is for creating that which did not exist before. Life is for blazing new trails.

Life is for being adventurous and bold and eager to find out what is over the next hill. Life is for taking leaps.

Our universe contains an infinite number of dimensions that remain unexplored. Life is for exploring the rivers and paths and caves that no one has experienced yet.

We are safe in our learning lab. Fear has no place here. Stretch your belief in yourself and try something that is calling out to you. Even if it may seem reckless and irresponsible.

Answer the call of the wild. Explore. Experiment. Do something different. Trust that you are safe as you travel new routes. Unexplored caves. Foreign lands.

Depart from the safe road. Go where you really want to be, regardless of society's approval.

Try it. Try it. Try it.

It's why we're here.

Creating Reality

We each create reality. We create our own individual worlds.

We create what is true in our lives... and all truth is specific to each of us individually.

We create reality by what we believe and what we think.

The good news is that if our lives are not satisfactory, we can change them by changing what we believe.

Once we get the hang of it, we can change our beliefs as we change the furniture in a room in our home.

The challenge is to discover what our beliefs are. They generally are so much a part of our daily thoughts, that they are invisible to us. We see them as obvious truths about life. As real true facts.

The things we know are true... are true solely because we believe them. Other people don't believe they are true at all. They are specific to us. To our reality. They are not present in everyone's realities.

What is great about life? What is difficult? What things are working smoothly in our life? What things are awful?

They are all because of what we think and what we believe.

So experiment with this. Pick a facet of reality, a truth that you'd like to turn into a false. See it as an idea that exists independently, separately from you. See it as an uncomfortable chair in a room that you want to replace with another.

See it as an object that you can move around and discard at will. Think of another idea, a reality that you'd prefer to believe... to replace the one you're discarding. Think of it as a new object that you've selected to be a part of your new, remodeled reality.

In with the new. Out with the old.

Think of this often. Remember that your life now includes a new belief. The old belief has been removed.

Do this for a time. I guarantee you will see a change. This change will reinforce your confidence that you truly are a creator. The creator of every aspect of your life.

This is a life-changing lesson. It is one of the most important lessons we can experiment with here in our learning-lab life.

Select another unsatisfactory belief. Replace. Repeat.

Create an unbelievably wonderful life.

Except that it's totally believable.

If you believe it.

If you create it.

Return to Innocence - The New Age of Peace

In case you don't see it, our world appears to be in a state of craziness.

I believe this unrest and unraveling is preparing the way for an era of peace.

Peace between people, countries, religions, enemies, friends, everyone.

We originated, back in our prehistoric era, in innocence. Like newborns. We did not have the concepts of good and evil. As we evolved we developed this “knowledge.” Now, thousands of years later, we are on the brink of acquiring the wisdom that will take us to a new era of “wise innocence.” We will come to understand that the good and evil were our own imaginings and realize that these value judgments no longer serve us.

We will begin to relinquish control over others. We will begin to rise above our small-minded judgments of others and realize that their paths have lead them to where they are as our paths have lead us.

No longer will we be supervisor and subordinate. No longer will we be prisoner and jailer. No longer will we be superior and inferior.

We are very close to realizing that war solves nothing. We are close to the critical mass of opinion needed to dismantle our military and defense systems. The walls have already begun to come down and soon everyone will be welcome anywhere.

Military might is no longer a deterrent. The military complex will evolve into peacetime industries of advanced robotics, transportation, space exploration, deployments of goods and services, rehabilitation of the incarcerated and education of all.

We are close to the realization that we are all one family, responsible for our own life experiences as well as for the well being of all our brothers and sisters. When we get there, peace will be inevitable.

Separations will die away. Connections will thrive. Prejudices will wither and acceptance of all will flourish.

What a glorious tomorrow lies ahead. Our technology has delivered us to a place where we can communicate directly with people in countries we are officially “enemies” with. Israeli citizens are sending messages to Irani citizens of love and peace. Check out: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/321412

Peace is so close we can taste it.

At last. What a wonderful time to be here. What a wonderful time to be anywhere.
