Dear Joshua,
As the saying goes; Be careful what you ask for! I've been asking to participate in these One on One conversations for a very long time, all without acting on the application. (Am I good enough, smart enough to be selected?) Once I took the step and asked, to my pleasant surprise - I have received. And it's beyond thrilling for me. I already appreciate all your guidance, energy and love that I've received through your books and One on One Q&As ... and am looking forward to more glorious learning!
I am passionate about reading and studying any and all the available information around the Law of Attraction and Universal energies, etc. I pride myself on being knowledgeable and thus perhaps 'Spiritual'. I often know that I am in touch with my higher self. The kicker is that I also am very aware that I am - a Human Being - with irrational fears and issues around self-worth and all the other perceived flaws, which I'd like to remove. If I removed the (perceived) flaws and fears - then I would be able to consider myself as a More Spiritual Being, right?
I'm struggling with how to ask the question. I guess I would say - I want to be more spiritual (as in, more-better or more of a conscious creator). I would like to understand what it means to be spiritual - and if that even counts for anything. Is being spiritual a 'better' way to be? I would like to find ease and appreciation in where I am now, even as I yearn to become more of my authentic self as a more conscious being. I hold the belief that if I was more of my 'true self' or 'authentic self' that would mean I'm more spiritual. Is it all tied together? Do I have to become one over the other or are they the same thing? Is being a spiritual person the same as being a conscious creator?
Thank you with all my heart,
Allyson
Dear Allyson,
You could not have possibly asked a better first question. The path of the spiritual human is always unique and so each path is completely different from anyone else's path. This is why it's so hard to tell if you are on the "right" path for you. So we will explain it in a way that you can easily understand. You are a spiritual being and you are perfect as you are now. That's it. You are on a unique spiritual journey and you cannot possibly get better, because you are perfect as you are right now in this moment. It seems like that is not really what you want to hear at the beginning of this six-monthlong conversation with us. But that is the truth of the matter. You are perfect as you are now, there's nothing to fix, there are no flaws, and you can't get any better, because you are perfect as you are. You will evolve to something different, but that version of Allyson will be perfect too. It won't be any better, just a bit different. You might perceive your reality from a slightly elevated perspective, but it won't be better, just different.
Asking to be more of a spiritual being is like asking an elephant to be more of an elephant. You are a spiritual being. That's all you are. The illusion is that you are a human living in a physical world. Really, you are a spiritual being pretending to be an individual in a pretend physical world, but there's nothing really physical about any of it except the illusion that it's physical. Take a molecule for example. It's the building block of all physical things, but it's almost all empty space. It is a tiny little nothing giving the illusion of anything when you stick more of them together. Stick enough of them together and you get the illusion of your human body. You think it's just you there, but aren't you moving around with trillions of cells. Each of those cells is living in physical reality and dying too. They come and go, but you think you remain as one being.
The only difference between where you are now and where you want to be is contained in the word "ease." All you can accomplish is an easy approach to life. This easy approach will allow you to feel good more of the time. Guess what? All that matters is how you feel in any moment because there is nothing else happening other than how you feel. It's a feeling reality. Is anything else going on? No. You are either feeling good or bad. The idea is to feel good no matter what is going on around you.
You are not here to control the conditions so that you can feel good. You are here to control how you feel so that you can perceive the conditions as good. The more you do this, the more connected you will become to your inner self and the guidance and power contained within. This connection will allow you to float through life consciously creating only that which matches how you feel. Since you are tuned to feeling good, you will attract things and experiences that also feel good. That's just how the system works. Feel good and you allow yourself to be guided to the vibrations that match all the things you desire in this life.
Your vibration rose high enough to reach us and when you decided to push through your irrational fears, you got what you wanted. Were you inspired to fill out the application because this conversation seems like fun? If so, you received the inspiration that would bring you what you truly want. Good for you. This is conscious creating. Some people do it naturally and some learn how it's done.
You are loved more than you can imagine by more than you could ever count. And they are always with you.
With Our Love,
We Are Joshua
