In the beginning was a thought
And the thought was energy
And the energy was creation
And the energy was creation
Our thoughts create our reality. The great purpose in life is to be able to shift our direction by changing our thoughts. We underestimate the power of our thought. In other words to change the way we think, we change the world.

This story was told some years ago. The sound has been remastered to some degree. We feel it is worth offering.
It begins with the story and then then followed by a reflection on the story. |

(1) Where do we start our journey? All cultures have folktales, stories around the fire given by the wise ones to give meaning, purpose and advice to help others on their life journey. Sadly, the images behind many of these folk tales have been lost.
So let us write our own story. In this story “Great Mystery” is the source of the mystery of existence. As in the ancient tradition just let the story wash over you, it is a story to awaken the heart. Let me just go back to before you came here. Just imagine for one moment that you are in the higher realms as part of Great Mystery and you make a choice. And you choose to have an experience here on earth plane. Imagine that, so you make that choice. Your light softens and begins to fall away, you seem to become aware that others have also made this choice. But that is their story. You decide you are going to experience in separation, a lifetime here on earth plane in a certain culture, in a certain environment, with certain parents and so on. But you find you cannot fully diminish your light and you see that part of you will remain as the Watcher. You imagine taking a blank sheet of paper with you and then you become earth bound and you become separate. This becomes your journey. So begins this journey with a blank sheet of paper, and as you grow you fill in the details by making choices and by being given opportunities. You have all sorts of influences as you grow up with your parents, your siblings, your friends and so on until you reach adulthood. By now this blank sheet of paper has become filled with a myriad of experiences and choices, thousands of them, millions of them. They are shaping your life here on earth plane. |
(2) At any point of this journey you may be given opportunities. And you can choose which to take. You are under no obligation to take any of them. There is no judgement just opportunities for experience. So choosing these opportunities and taking those which you feel would serve you best, or not serve you best, and that's what maps out your journey here on that blank sheet of paper.
Of course it is no longer blank. So where are we now? We get to a point to see an awareness of who you are, and very few people here in separation will do that. Perhaps you have chosen to do this, and found your way to this story.. There are many people of your planet who are on this path. Now these journeys that many take are so significant in the growth of your planet, of your universe. It is all experience for Great Mystery. So Great Mystery, has given out all these millions of pieces of blank paper and is enjoying watching them being filled in. That is just a story of course, but you may see where we are going. The Watcher is always part of that blank piece of paper the whole time. Great Mystery is part of your experience, and the story is simply to illustrate to you how the Watcher is part of you. It is you, but it is the part of you that is hidden while you begin your journey. But gradually it will become clearer who you are and you will reconnect again as you realise your Oneness. Path Light Wisdom - is just that; wisdom for the path. |

We have forgotten who we are, but all is not lost. We can begin a self discovery journey which could be quite exciting.
It is impossible for us to fully understand the purpose of the choices we made before entering separation. Also because others also make their pre-separation choices there are bumps and distractions along the way. Then there are the many variations that make us all so different. No physical body is perfect. No parent is perfect. No culture or up-bringing is perfect. Somehow in all this is the purpose we have chosen. A bit of a challenge but the good news is we have freedom of choice!
By now our blank sheet of paper is very full. It is shaping our attitudes and definitely the way we see ourselves and the world around. To stop ourselves from falling to bits, the myriad thoughts and ideas that pass through our mind keep our story consistent. Think about what life might be like if we never knew from moment to moment who we were!
So let's sort out this myriad of thoughts. We are only aware of some of them. We have an in-built filter that allows thoughts that support our story to come into our conscious mind. These are then arranged into a story of our identity which is built up from the many experiences that we have. So our blank sheet of paper is filling up and creating the way we stand in life - our attitude.
