You Will Be Taken Care Of - The Experiment

There is another you. Another infinite you, that knows your needs. Another you that has the ability to see the big picture. Another you that loves and cares for you more than you love and care for yourself. Another you that is there to protect and comfort and provide everything you could ever need in this life.

Below is an experience from a friend who actually put the above statements to the test. He agreed to write down his experience for this blog.

Being self-employed I am not guaranteed a paycheck. And sometimes needs arise and you wonder where you are going to find the extra money. It can bring worry and stress. The unknown usually does, doesn’t it? But here I am 14 years into being self-employed and every need that I have ever had has been met. I ask myself what do I really need and I have to answer—nothing.

What is funny is even though hundreds and hundreds of needs have been met in the past, any time a new need arises and I’m not quite sure how it is going to be met, worry and stress show their faces again. This time though I tried a little experiment.

I decided not to fight the worry and stress, to just experience it. To feel it. And guess what? It eventually just started to subside. Kind of like when you stub your toe. At first the pain is intense, then slowly you can feel it just fade away. Then there is a feeling of pleasure because the pain is gone.

You feel content.

Then I took the experiment a step farther. If there really is an infinite me that cares about me and knows my needs, then that “me” wants my needs taken care of just as much if not more than I do. So I decided to give as little thought as I could to that need and just turn it over to my infinite self knowing the need would be met. I ignored the temptation to come up with plans to make the extra money. Of course the worry would come back but again I just let it run its course.

To many that would seem foolish. How can you have this “problem” and just not do anything about it? Trust me, that question ran through my mind hundreds of times. But I decided to ignore it. If there really is another me, who cares about me, a more powerful, infinite me then “he” will be more adept to handle the problem than I would.

Two days ago, as of writing this article I got a business call. The call came from someone I had never met. The call came from someone whom I had never tried to solicit business from before. The call was the result of nothing I had done in the past.

As a result, the day of writing this article I received a check from them in the mail. I deposited the check. Tomorrow the need will be met.

You would think after 14 years I would learn.

Stop Playing The Game

You are playing a game with the entire world. Sometimes it can be enjoyable and fun, but most of the times it’s hard and complicated. Sometimes it can just be sadistic and cruel.

Your ego loves playing the game. It loves comparing itself to others to see who is winning. To see who has the most money. To see who has the most power. To see who is the best. To see who is happier. To see who is making the most out of their life.

Every person you meet your ego is sizing them up. Deciding who is ahead in the game.

But here is the catch. We may make the comparisons but we constantly feel we are losing. We know there is something out there we don’t have. We may not even know what it is. We just have that empty feeling that tells us it is missing.

Guess what? That empty feeling isn’t going to go away. If we look out into the world to fill the void, the empty space may actually get bigger and bigger. We are chasing something we can never catch.

We are playing a game in which there can be no winner. Yet we keep playing the game and sometimes the game flies completely out of our control.

Your mind has over 50,000 thoughts a day. Are you going to tell me you are in control of all those thoughts? Do you even know what those thoughts are? Most are repetitive and useless. The same thoughts that you have over and over every day, but accomplish nothing. Most just bring worry and misery.

Even though you aren’t consciously aware of all the thoughts you know they are there. You can feel them. There is that underlying current of unease that is in all of us. Sometimes we feel it more intensely. Sometimes in moments of intense anger or grief it can overwhelm us. But even in moments of relative peace we can still feel it lurking in the background.

The game keeps us searching, comparing and fighting for relief but there is none. Perhaps brief flashes of liberation, but they are always fleeting.

So is there anything we can do?

Yes!

Quit playing the game.

Surrender. Just give up. Decide you are not going to play the game anymore.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying give up on life. I am saying end the game. Now watch what happens in your life.

Turn your life over to your higher self. Trust in the part of you that is infinite. A part of you that, believe it or not, is omnipotent – all knowing. Why in the word would you want to limit yourself to your finite mind? A mind so cluttered and full of lies and deceit that it really can’t even see the world for what it truly is.

Accept that you are more than this jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions, walking sometimes aimlessly in a trap of flesh and bone. Realize that you have the ability to access infinite possibilities. Understand there is no need for competition, because everyone has this ability. Everyone is pure unlimited potential. You can coordinate the universe so precise that anything you desire is possible.

How?

Embrace the unknown and uncertainty. Know that everything you could ever want is yours for the taking. Just don’t get caught up in the “how” and “why” anymore. Find the joy in yourself. What makes you feel good? Let that feeling guide you. If you are having fun in what you are doing, everything else will take care of itself.

But most won’t believe it. Most are just going to continue playing the game. For them the struggle is never going to end. Sad.

Stop playing the game.
