The universe is a friendly place where beings both human and celestial are engaged in implementing a plan of Spirit’s thoughts. Originating in the mind of our Creator is a plan for manifesting life of immense diversity and creative expression. The innate nature of this plan provides a place for humans to collaborate with Spirit in the unfolding of the divine vision. We get an opportunity to partner with God in the development of our external environment; we can build what we manifest here on earth of what we believe and feel when it is aligned with the divine vision. It is in this co-creative dynamic that the very heart of our own self-expression is born—we get to reveal who we are to the universe.
When our beliefs and feelings are aligned in Spirit, when they are in sync with the divine nature of truth, beauty, and goodness, then what we co-create with Spirit is something that fills us with peace, love, joy, and makes living worthwhile and enjoyable for all life—not just for one individual. It allows the evolutionary process to proceed according to the divine plan. We get to participate in our own unfolding, and we benefit directly from this by growing into our divine natures—our higher true “God” selves. Aligning ourselves in the plans (or ways) of Spirit leads us into that glorious undertaking of building the manifestations of Heaven on earth. This is indeed possible. There is a spiritual energy living in each being and the planet itself that connects us to our Creator Source. This connection enables the will of Spirit to be implanted here and it unfolds over the evolutionary course of time. Through this the ways of God are manifested here.
Our part of the co-creative process in the unfolding of the divine plans on earth comes about by making choices during the course of our daily living. Through our thoughts, decisions and actions during the regular course of the day, we either choose to be aligned in the ways of Spirit or we choose not to be. Sometimes our awareness of what we are choosing is conscious and sometimes it is not. When our choices are aligned in Spirit’s ways, then our will is in sync with the divine plan and we bring something of great value to earth. Thus, over time human and planetary life can ascend to divine status to reflect perfection in physical form.
Seeded into our beings is a language of Spirit—the words of LOVE—that is unleashed through our decisions to live in peace, harmony, and love. This language is an invitation to share in the beauty and grandeur contained within the mind of God. It is language: sound, rhythm, vibration and movement that affects us at a cellular level. It invites us into the embrace conjoining two very distinct and different natures to move together. The co-creative partnership we share with God is a dance between human and Spirit, with the divine plans leading and the human will gracefully being led in a rhythm uniting both human and Spirit into Oneness.
Doing the Will of God
Alignment is the key word to consider in co-creation with Spirit. The mind of God overarches the universe, and the universe is the physical domain wherein the plans of God are manifested. The plans contained with the Source of Life reveal themselves in various dimensions of reality when free-will beings make decisions that correspond to those ideas contained within those plans. Aligning in the plans of Spirit is simply to “do God’s will.” Alignment comes from “tuning in” to what your Inner Spirit wishes to convey to you to enable you to make those choices that will lead you to the greatest happiness and fulfillment that you could ever imagine. The ways of Spirit are goodness, beauty, joy, and love.
It is common to think that God wants us to “do” something with our lives. Many times we think of it as a job or calling, or expecting ourselves to conform to a standard of behavior because we think that is what God expects of us. People can sometimes get caught in the maze of thinking that God wants us to do a particular thing or expects something from us so that divine favor can be bestowed.
Doing the will of God is more straightforward: First, it is coming to understand the divine ways, then it is an appreciation of divine or universal ways or law, which leads us to want to act in accordance with those ways. The more we choose (make our decisions) to follow the ways that Spirit has in mind (our minds) the more we do God’s will, and the more room we give Spirit to live in us and through us. This is the partnership that achieves ONENESS.
By aligning yourself in the willingness to live life by treating yourself and others with compassion, forgiveness, kindness, patience, and understanding not only builds heaven on earth—it builds heaven in YOU! In this way does each person increasingly become a conduit for and being of LOVE living in human form. It gives people the opportunity to have Spirit participating in your life that brings greater fulfillment and peace of mind, and it reveals a strong and noble character. A wonderful example of a person so totally unified in this is Jesus. Jesus mastered doing the will of Spirit because he was so in tune with the ways of Spirit that he could easily choose to do it that way. We don’t all have to live exactly like Jesus did; yet he serves as a wonderful model and inspiration for the kind of Spirit-guided life that is possible in aligning with the divine will. It is entirely possible for us to attain that same level of Spirit-centeredness that Jesus manifested which celebrates our own uniqueness and brings great diversity to the planet
In that diversity comes harmony, for the nature of Spirit is to constantly express itself through increasingly interesting, unique, different and original forms of life: each revealing a unique thought of its perfect divine Source. We are unified in the fact that we all come from the same original Source. We are each an original unique thought of God living on earth. The more we want to align our ideas and wiliness to become spirit-like, the more we allow the plans and playfulness of God to shine through in our lives and bring us into union with the Source Self.
Each person is a treasure of God’s as the divine hand sews us in the fabric of the universe so that everyone can delight in and experience the richness of the textures and flavors of LIFE. The more diversity we create through our alignment in the divine ways, the greater the potential for harmony exists. The mind of God expands yet our source remains the same, and we all share in the glory that is building and unfolding. Our unique individual God-self is part of the plans contained within the mind of Spirit. Celebrate yourself and grow in Spirit!
