Excerpt from chapter 2:
There is no one to save unless you want to be a saviour. In which case your game rules will reflect your desire. You will create and manifest one situation after another in which you can experience yourself as a saviour. Doctors, ministers, social workers, to name a few, do it everyday. In reality, however, there is no one to save. Nothing and no one is really in any peril. It is your perspective and desire for a cause that creates events in which you can participate. The other elements are simply additional components responding to your desires. Being a saviour seems very altruistic, as opposed to something a little more mundane, but truthfully unnecessary, unless you want it to be. Then, so it is. In order to appreciate this point of view, one needs to distance oneself from actual events and look at what our motivations are. How does your particular perspective serve you? Have you always wanted to help people? Do you want to feel important within yourself or in the eyes of others, your culture, or your peers? Do you get an adrenaline rush after a particular event that encourages you to go back and re-invent similar situations? Or does the thought of helping people simply feel good? All of these scenarios and more are valid reasons to create. Thankfully, there are others who are willing to co-create with you as “victims” or “innocents”. There are no invalid reasons and no so-called “negative” ones either. Any judgment about why someone would choose a particular path is irrelevant, whether from the point of view of karma, fate, ignorance, or poor decisions. Individual choices in each and every moment are what dictate the direction and range of life experience. The doctor who enjoys saving will keep right on doing it and will always attract people and situations which need to be saved. It is totally irrelevant to him that it may be illusory while he is in the moment of living a life experience he truly desires. Some people just enjoy having a cause for which to fight. It helps them feel needed, which comforts them. Perhaps their deeper desire or Life lesson is to learn more about compassion, or to explore the human condition. Any service to humanity that results in warm fuzzy feelings helps to align people with their True Selves. Things get out of hand when the game player forgets it’s all a game and takes life far too seriously and literally. Then, almost ironically, perspective becomes the saviour.
It may help somewhat to reflect on the perspective that all life is an eternal cycle of birth, death and re-birth. Developing an appreciation for the vastness and creativeness of each individuated Soul serves to open up one’s mind and helps free judgment. Asking questions can assist in obtaining additional insights. For example, transition could be viewed as the opportunity to re-generate, and to renew one’s perspective. Death can be seen as the ultimate creative response to the duality of life. Often, much energy surrounds the activity of one’s transition providing a grand dramatic finale for all participants, so to speak. Does the birth/death cycle only belong in the physical world? Not necessarily. It only manifests physically here as a reflection of the constant “death”, or transition of thoughts. Yet, thoughts are energy and as such don’t really die. There is a constant adding to and accumulation of new thoughts, new energy. Death implies non-existence of the old, yet it can be viewed as an evolution to a new way of being. Energy as thought never dies. Thoughts become beliefs when many individuals contribute their attention and hence, their energy to them. Thought continues in perpetual evolution, always adding to Existence. However, if there is no longer any attention given to the old thought form, the old belief system, no energy in motion to perpetuate it, then where does it go? Ideally, it should decay and finally cease to exist, once again returning the energy to the “pool” of unformed creation or pure chaos. In other words, if someone somewhere is still thinking a thought, it never ceases to be. Conversely, those thoughts that are given no attention, lose momentum, and eventually dissipate, and are irretrievable in their original format. We could think new variations of them, putting them in the category of an evolved thought, and then by definition, a thought that is not thought of does not exist until the moment someone thinks it alive. Ideally, it would not be missed. From this perspective, there are no new thoughts in the universe, only recycled material. Granted, many people, if not most, are completely unaware of the intricacies of how they are creating so they continually loose themselves in their life games or their particular dramas, either personal, or global. Or do they? Perhaps I am just projecting my own feelings of being lost. Caught up in my game, so therefore that is exactly what I am seeing in others. There goes that darn mirror effect again! I see it one way; my colleagues see it another way; other people in “authority” see it differently again. This by no means makes any of it concrete. In fact, any conjecture of human awareness accelerating its development through a critical mass theory has in someone’s reality already occurred, otherwise we could not conceive of it. All thoughts have been thought, therefore, they already exist. All I need to do is contemplate a particular idea or concept, and then integrate that energy into my belief systems. This causes the vibration of my thought energy to expand around me, resulting in new reflections of my life experience. I will then begin to see my mirrors clearly as reflections of my new beliefs. And there you have it: a Highly Evolved Human, and by association and reflection we then have a Highly Evolved Society. If it’s that simple, why don’t we all do it? Those who want to, do dream that dream, and have a fine time living it. Those who want to play another game keep right on playing their own version of reality. It doesn’t matter which you choose because creation benefits from ALL experiences, not just a chosen few, and it can accommodate all versions of reality simultaneously.
