A STORY

Imagine a world where all the individuals are part of Source, as drops of water are part of the ocean. Imagine this Source, is the creative energy of the Universe. Imagine these individuals have the same power to create as Source and they create endlessly, with their thoughts and feelings. Imagine these people, create their individual experience, plus contributing to a collective creation.

Now, imagine that somewhere in their history there was a Great Forgetting. They only vaguely remembered who they were, but they went on creating both individually and collectively. Even though, these folks forgot they were creators, they had a beautiful life because they loved each other and only wanted what was best.

Ages go by, in their individual creations, folks get more and more separate. Eventually a few people, more separate than the rest, realize that they can control the group by making them afraid of other groups. As time goes by. They realize they can get folks to create anything they want by manipulating their thinking. Soon they set themselves up as masters of this world.

Every once in awhile, someone realizes who they are, and teaches the people they are the creators and can have the world they want. The overlords manage to convince the people they are enemies and they are summarily dealt with.

At first, the overlords measures of control, were primitive, they had to trust their message of division and fear would spread through the populace by word of mouth, song and fable. Then printing, and then, sophisticated but artificial means of communication and entertainment were devised. Suddenly, the overlords could plant any idea in the mind of the people. When they wanted war, all they needed to do was crank up the fear of a neighboring people. The enemy could be on the other side of their world. The people had no way of knowing the truth, all their news and entertainment sources agreed, that the enemy was the enemy.

In the meantime, the people had no idea they were contributing to the misery in their own lives and adding to the negativity of the collective. They just thought they were trapped in an unfriendly universe. They were carefully taught they were both helpless and undeserving. They passed this negativity down from father to son and mother to daughter without realizing it. All through the generations, there were folks with a special spark, they would remind people we could have a nice life if we only we loved each other. They wrote books, songs and plays attempting to spread the word. The overlords ignored them. When an individual arose, that the masses listened to, the overlords demonized him or her or killed them.

The overlords got lazy. It seemed so easy to control people, using the known media, that these overlords forgot themselves, that all individuals are part of Source and All are Equal Creative Beings. Truth cannot be hidden and no matter how suppressed, people must search for the meaning of their lives.

One by one people began to awaken. They asked each other, “Couldn't we live in a world where we love each other and took care of each other?” Some of the people realized that the only real power the overlords had was the influence of their thought. The overlords cannot use brute force without a significant number of folks going along with them. “What if we all started having loving thoughts?” More and more people began talking that way.

More and more folks experimented in their personal lives. They decided to give up negative thinking and replace their negative thought with loving thoughts. When they were angry, they forgave. When they were confused, they attempted to understand. They learned to see the flaws, in others, as their best attempt to love. They began to look upon the world with love and forgiveness. It began to dawn on them, “We are the creators of our experience.”

The overlords began to panic. They did not count on the people waking up. They tried to make many desperate attempts to bring the people back in line. They tried to start wars all over the world. They attempted to scare people in anyway they could. They especially loved to terrify people, about the the very nature of their planet. They did not want people to discover, that the nature of their planet, was Love.

However, the sense of Oneness became seeded in the minds of the people. They began to see Love instead of fear. More and more they saw fear as an illusion, created by the overlords. They realized, all they had to do, to strip the overlords of their power, was to ignore them and ignore the invitations to fear.They began to see the invitations to love everywhere. Many, many people were seeing love shining from the eyes of everyone they met.

It will be exciting to see how this story turns out.
