YOU ARE AS AN ACTOR

YOU ARE AS AN ACTOR

Everything we experience in our lives, has culminated into what we are at this present moment. All that we have seen, heard, smelled, tasted, and touched; has formed our opinion of what and who we are. But all of these things, are someone else's opinions, Truth's, Lies, etc. that we have experienced. But remember, the most important part of all of this - we are NOT our experiences. We are the WITNESS to the experiences. We are the one experiencing, NOT the actual experience. 

For example, when you go to a movie theatre, everything that is taking place on the screen is an illusion. It's an image ... a projection of what appears to be form. But if you turn around and look behind you, everything that you are watching from the screen is projecting from the bright white light coming from within the projection booth. In this way, we as Light beings - Spirit - are projecting into matter/form from within ... to without. Our thoughts, calculate and ultimately conclude this process into a decision. Then, the decision leads to a belief. This belief can be Truth, or deception. True, or a lie. But we have made a decision to believe it. To “decide,” literally means to “cut-off.”

Most of us believe our lives are what we see on the movie screen (the projection), rather than the projector ... the point of origin. The Actors, the events on the screen, the screenwriters, producers, editors ... they are all YOU projecting outwards into form ... as you experience YOUR Life. You are as the Actor in a play. Life is the stage. You write the script. Remember that the word “personality” comes to us from the Latin word “persona” which literally means “the mask of an Actor.” So, your personality, is an Actor. It isn't really you. 

When we take ownership of our experiences, we actually become the experience. This is an error in thinking. If you make an error, you are NOT the error. You are the one experiencing the error - the WITNESS, or Observer. If you accept the error as actually being you ... then you accept yourself as being flawed. This is when we begin to feel guilt and fear. These “experiences” are our teachers in Life. These experiences we witness, teach us lessons that are intended fo us to know in order to evolve and involve as better humans and to elevate to a higher level of consciousness. 

When you drive your car, you are not the car but you are having an experience as the driver. You are witnessing and observing events from within the car. In life, your body is your vehicle for the driver (your Soul / Higher Self /Spirit) to sojourn in a foreign land/form. We are in Earth School, and we are all students. Except that in Earth School, we are given a test first, then we learn (and re-member) our lessons.

PER-SO-NA

PER·SO·NA 

(Latin | Noun) pərˈsōnə

“the aspect of someone's character that is presented to or perceived by others ... a role or character adopted by an author or an actor.”

This is the root of the English word PERSON. Your EGO mask. This world is a cosmic play, and you are the Actor.

Who you THINK you are is the sum total of all you have experienced ... yet, you are NOT your experiences. Your true Self is the Witness to all of this. The Observer. The inner Self who is the Watcher. You are not the experience, you are the Experiencer.

Do not take ownership of what you have been through. These experiences are your teachers. They are NOT you. Learn from these experiences and move forward. 

The moment you realize this Truth, you will be free. Free to live your life without fear or guilt. Free from the things that keep you stuck in the past and worried about the future. 

“You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.” 
-John 8:32

There is only NOW. The past, has passed. The future, has yet to be created. All there is ... is NOW. The present moment. Enjoy it, learn from it, and simply observe it. Do not judge it, do not label it ... just live it and observe it as you would the birds in the sky, a sailboat in the distance, or a bubbling stream in the forest. 

Take off the MASK ... the persona ... and let the real you deep within come to the surface and become One with all that is. The Spirit of Life who many call God, is experiencing life through you, with you, and as you. You are the aperture in which the Universe experiences itself. 

Just a thought ...
