Imaginary Circles                     By Sandy Jones

 

I have heard a story...not sure if it is true, but I like the analogy it holds. I was told that there is a certain little bug that, if you draw a circle with a pencil around this little bug....The bug sees the line and thinks it cannot get out of the little hand drawn ring. This bug sees the penciled circle and believes himself to be fenced in. Thinking he is corralled by the pencil marking the little bug goes round and round and round, inside the circle, imprisoned by an illusion....

Reality is that he can very simply cross this illusional fence and be free.

Metaphorically speaking, we too must see that the circles we find ourselves trapped in are really powerless... except for the power we give them or believe them to have..

As an observer of the little bug, we know that the penciled in circle is not a fence, is not a barrier and has no real power to hold the little bug inside.

If we do the same thing for our own self....If we take the 'out side' view and see Reality or The Truth....We free ourselves...We find our Self running happily across the Meadow...Free from the illusions that have been accepted as reality. .

The circles have no power.

You are free to go outside the self-imposed circle. You are Already Free....Actually and Factually.

Labels and judgments cannot hold you back, hold you in, or keep you from Being The Real Self you are. Being one with Love, One with Life, One with God, One with The Infinite All, One with Divine Light, One with The Holy Grace that 'made you'....This is Your True Nature this Timeless Presence IS Already unbound, unrestricted, illimitable.... You are Life, Light, Awareness and Truth Itself.

Everyone is going round and round trapped inside the circles... going round and round within false prisons that have no authority....when in fact we can run free across the entire 'paper'.

The Truth we find is that the images within Awareness do not control Awareness ...Awareness, Divine Mind is your True Self is like the whole piece of paper, the big white space upon which the circles are drawn, the illusions that believed to be real.....Your True Self is Whole Self...the One Self-Divine, the Paper Itself not the circles drawn on It..

The Images within This Awareness, no matter how big or how bad they might appear, they are like the penciled in circle....they have no authority or real power over The Awareness You Are....No matter how much they might persist in telling you otherwise... they never have, they never will, they never can...walk across them and see for your self.

Life, Awareness, Light, Infinite, Ineffable Godhead goes right being Here and Now.... despite the images within It.

There are no boundaries to our True Self, our Real Identity

.We accept all kinds of false believes to be real. And we abide by their confinement. We are like those funny little bugs, thinking we are trapped, going round and round inside the circle.

We are acting as if we are imprisoned; we become frustrated, angry, depressed, more and more ignorant, hoping someone else will come along and make our circle a better circle, a more comfortable circle, and wider circle, a fancier, a nicer circle, a prettier circle to be running around in.

But no one comes along...

....Perhaps for a reason; It is up to each on of us alone.

We are 'here in life' to we find our Truest and Highest Immutable Nature..

Let us bloom and blossom into the Glory that We are Truly meant to be.....

It is interesting that very rarely does someone came along to tell us the circle has no real authority over us...only the rare few....and then we usually try to ignore it, crucify it, plug our ears to it, laugh at it, or change what they tell us so it fits into the limited confines of our circle.

I dare say, it seems the whole world of us are 'under the spell' and just spinning around and round inside the prison walls that are not there.

It is time to recognize our True Identity is God's Ineffable Immutable, Ever Present, Living Light which is the True Selfhood of Every Man.....

Nothing to it.....There is no True Authority... Only God, God alone...God is All in All....and All That Is.

..... Awareness...Infiite Presence Here and Now Being All That I Am...

Like the broad white paper with circles on it, Awareness includes Its images, but Awareness is not possessed or controlled by, nor fearful of, the images within It.

Walk out of the circle, cross the line...see for your Self The True God Given Beauty and Wonder that YOU Are and then you will find all the Good and Marvelous things you can do.

The real adventure will start when you go out beyond the pencil marking....Step over what ever it is that defines and limits you, step out of the pencil marks you are spinning round in.

You ARE More....You Are Greater, You Are The World....See It...Be It...the time is now... Divine Mind is All That Is and All That You Are..

Enjoy The Exploring that goes out beyond those imaginary circles, all circles.....

With the Light you find Your Self To BE....You will share your new found information and then you can watch and see what happens to rest of the circles as they slip out the imaginary confines too....
