Default Your life is a film: You are the director

Reading about ascension has given me an opportunity to think about just how my life feels like a film. I'm not the master director but I do somewhat call some of the shots. If I don't like how I'm doing or where I'm going, I yell "CUT!" and evaluate and attempt to correct my behavior.

I had to step back after one thread on this site was enough to gain my ire. The only reason that it did is because as a director and actor, I am used to certain standards and truths and my inability to let go of these got the best of me.

But, again, think about it. I've never had this much freedom to do whatever I wanted and MAKE IT HAPPEN like I am able to do now.

It does make me fear less.

Amazingly paradoxical how "letting go" actually helps one aquire something.
Peace of mind in that case HJ.

You've passed through a door from which there is no return.
When a mind expands, it never returns to its original dimension.

Indeed.

One more thing: Make the best you can of your life now. I just don't want to look back in regret 20 years at the things I didn't do or the things I shouldn't have said.

What you describe here is free will over the pre destined path or framework that you where given in this life.

The power of free will!

Yes, I agree, Macros
There is destiny, and some of it can be over-ridden with will and manifestation. All of what we 'think' we want in this lifetime might very well be had - Money, jobs, people coming in -

However, for some, the very essence of this exercise on a daily basis can create such a force within their ego consciousness that it can ultimately create a kind of 'fatigue' (as Edith Underhill would explain) ... its result is a sort of backlash, rubber band effect of the consciousness - for as much will that we have used to create our external world (rather than our internal world), will be equalled in that force to create an opportunity for the Soul Consciousness to manifest what It wanted for us this lifetime. This kind of Force always creates opportunities for expansion of our inner consciousness...which naturally seeks the Numinous and the One Source energy.

So let's say one is an amazing director and actor - everything his mind has yearned for has been delivered by his powerful free will. So much so, that
achievements would equal that of the Empire State Building...well, then,
expect that it is possible that the same level of power is available to one's inner world. In fact, I would guess that if one has achieved the outer, there are grand possibilities to reach amazing, unforeseen inner depths.

Again, and this is in other threads that I have spoken about the Will, it is very useful in the beginnings of spiritual pursuit to discipline our mind consciousness to learn to manifest and discipline the will, for it takes great practice and patience, and other things. Similar to the Magician card in the Tarot.

As one travels this road, you see that more and more, out of a natural spiritual process, one may find oneself letting go of too much will and asking that one's own will be aligned to the One Source consciousness, accepting whatever the circumstances that presents.

Just my thoughts.

Bumpy roads along the path of life can leave us losing balance and vearing off down some other route.

Smooth paths always have junctions.

Both paths carry temptations that broaden our horizons.

When times are hard we think how bad they are and somtimes can never see a way on. In this scenario we are stood on the road of life looking at a signpost we cannot see (wood for the trees springs to mind) The sign post says - hard times. Now closer inspection reveals a arrow pointing along this road we stand on - the future which is bad. Even closer inspection reveals other arrows which take you off this path.

I believe that you have to quieten the mind (meditation) in order to see the ultimate possibilities of free will.

If you put strong intention into it, it will come true, I am sure about that. Maybe not within a week, but soon. You'll see......

Well I went to Bath, didn't see my leading lady but did have a great chat with a girl trying to get me to sign up for a charity thing, if she had been 15 years younger I would have asked her out, but she wasn't so I didn't

Tonight I am out with my mate so am going to direct her to be there.

[SIZE="3"]I think my movie is one of those low budget ones, cheap props and only one genuine actor who puts there heart and soul into making a very boring story line into something amazing. It's been a very long epic but an oldie, in fact a classic, I will look back in years to come and play that film over, have a laugh and wonder why i didn't choose one far less complicated to understand.SIZE]

Personally, I feel more like an actor on the stage rather than the director... I can spruce it up with my own skills , but I find I'm much more successful when I'm in a state of surrender to the script writer (the higher consciousness within), and I am following the script as it is laid out for me by my intuition / still small voice inside... rather than trying to make it happen on my own...

I'm an actor who receives one page of the script at a time, and when I execute on it, I get the next page of the script, and that way, I'm in an upward spiral on a grand adventure and it keeps getting more fun, even when the script seems a little crazy, it always seems to work out in the long run .

"Not my will, but the script writer's (higher Self's / God's) be done..." kind of thing works for me.

That's not a passive role, but it's one where I don't have to be the doer... my father works hitherto and I work... is an ideal state of Being for me...
