You Always Exist, Spirit View
Before you were ever conceived and born, you existed. You have been an idea with qualities, expressions and importance in eternity. This is a Divine law that cannot be changed. You were perfectly created beyond any earthly control. You matter. You make a difference. There is no one like you! In some way, perhaps many ways, we are all connected to a power and presence we cannot see. We can feel it, though. It shows up in our being, actions, conversations, thoughts and even in our stillness. We feel this as our heart swells with happiness in moments of witnessing achievements, feeling loved, or feeling like we belong to something greater than ourselves. If troubled by thoughts of sadness, loneliness, confusion or anger we can quiet our minds in order to feel this calming presence. When we are quiet, ideas come and remind us of an intelligence that exists to give us answers or solutions.
Ideas are endless and they are alive, even though you can’t see them before you. When you move to action, the ideas come to life in their individual forms and expressions. Just like you. Sometimes people don’t know why they exist, or for what purpose. This can certainly be a struggle at times, but when we live with the knowledge that we have existed and always will, it can lessen the blurry feeling of not knowing the immediate “why.”
Once you tune in to the fact that you have always existed and always will, you can go from being tossed on the waves, to riding the waves, then becoming the waves.
When we can begin to look beyond the surface of each person we come into contact with, regardless of circumstance, with the knowledge that they were created just as we were—by a Divine law of being and existence—we will see their individual uniqueness. Fear, envy, jealousy, apathy, even neglect will have less weight in how we project our misunderstandings onto another. This doesn’t come easily most of the time. You have to ask yourself “how do I want to see myself in eternal existence?”
There are far too many injustices that point fingers at who matters and who doesn’t; who is essential in this life, and who isn’t. I would say this certainly depends on the circumstance at the moment. However, this is always subject to change. If you understand that you have always existed, the deeper meaning of the present moment won’t feel like you are being rejected or inconsequential. We all have our moments, and some of them are to simply be present, to participate, support or to lead. You will feel less like there is nothing you can do when you allow this deeper sense of being to emerge. Then lean into it. Feel the power in the moment, instead of worrying about the next moment, and the next, and so on. There is always a way to be involved—and sometimes that means not being involved.
“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.” ― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
Your existence is revealed when you look inward. All the outer suggestions, experiences and influences are what guide you to discovering who you are. You. The individual, unique being that has always been and always will be. You know instinctively what is right for you. If you are struggling, however, you are probably not wanting to listen to the nagging voice inside that is trying to guide you. Experience will repeat itself until what you need to learn becomes the louder voice that you listen to. Continue to think about the fact that you have already been created and all you need is within you. Listen more to the voice inside and less to the voices that are simply noise and confusion. You are important. You matter. You make a difference. There is no one like you! Simply go and just BE.
“Become what you are.” — Friedrich Nietzsche
