Who are you, in the scheme of this world. Do you feel trapped here? Do you feel limited in life? Or do you feel everything is open, to you and everyone else?
Do you feel some other way, or some combination of both extremes?
Also, have your feelings changed over time?
I dont know about anyone else but I am working from the premise that I am in Gods hands and leave it there. This life has been all about learning to trust in that.
@jana what a great response. Thank you. I forget this, often. I think I'm on my own. I'm going to have to recalibrate, thanks to you! And that's good.
I most definitely have my blocks and places where I get stuck personally, but in the grand scheme of it - I feel very connected and in the flow of life.
This changed when I began to grasp the idea that "we are all one." At first this was just a platitude that sounded cool and made me curious about what that really means. And slowly over time, with faith, this perspective has helped me grow as a person, so that I am not just looking at the bigger picture but actually engaging with it in real time.
In retrospect I can see how limited I was when I kept all of my thoughts and feelings internal - both the good and bad, and acted like I had to do everything on my own. I am still practicing allowing myself to be vulnerable with others, learning to yield and receive gifts. I have experienced profound healing and growth from doing this, and I believe that will continue as long as I keep trying to do the work.
When I asked this question, I was thinking something entirely different. The idea, that we are tethered / contained, unbeknownst to us. You don't realize it, until and unless, you reach the end of your tether, or meet the wall. This is something that's happened to me. It's a big, woah!
I thought about this, overnight. It does not exclude, God. I suspect it's God who's done the revealing.
If I cannot expand, or extend I transcend.
