Affirming the Divine Plan

I love affirming that the Divine Plan in my life in now unfolding. The more I do this, the more grounded and happy I feel. I see evidence of life supporting and caring for me every single day. It is indisputable now.

I also know that the past eighteen years in which I’ve cultivated my intuition is really serving me now. It is my connection with God’s Will in my life. The inner work I’m doing now is continuing to strengthen this and remove the remaining doubts, fears and programming that keep me distracted and hooked into the outer world. Putting my center of gravity back where it belongs feels so right and I know my work in the world is about helping others do the same.

My sense is that as things that aren’t serving the Divine Plan fall away naturally, they’ll be replaced by all the things that do serve this Plan. Right now, I can clearly see that my spiritual life, my writing and my creative, non-traditional way of being in the world (life on my terms) are all going forward with me. What’s falling away includes all that burdens me, stresses me, bores me, drains me or simply doesn’t fit. This includes certain foods in my diet, activities in my day, people in my circle, work that has brought me income, and so on.

Aligning with the Divine Plan of one’s life smoothes the way for life to flow in the right direction. It also allows one to truly use and express one’s gifts in service to others. It also means the ability to take care of oneself fully without sacrificing anything.

Life is meant to be: joyful and abundant and overflowing so that generosity and the desire to share is as natural as breathing. When we live in that frequency, scarcity disappears. So does lack, fear, confusion, boredom and loneliness. Instead, it is replaced by a feeling of belonging and being part of something much greater. It is a feeling that is beyond time and space and the small story of one’s individual life. It is transcendent. It stretches into the unity and intelligence that connects us all.

This is the esoteric secret that has been passed down through the ages. It is so much more than the overly simplistic law of attraction concepts. Those are often about supporting the individual desires and needs rather than the highest good for all.

Our part of the larger overall plan must be factored into all of our decisions. Without that, life feels empty and meaningless. No amount of straight manifestation will satisfy if it only serves the individual. We are part of the Whole, and to fully connect with the awareness of that, we must be open to giving as much as we are open to receiving—and I don’t mean giving in an inauthentic way because it makes us look good or because we feel that we are obligated. Martyrdom doesn’t give us points. Giving because we feel pressured to make a sacrifice isn’t true giving. It comes from a place of lack and leads to resentment.

True giving comes from a place of infinite abundance. When we give from this place it is full of love without expectations or agendas or pressure. It simply flows out of us without limit because it is coming not from our individual selves, but from the eternal. As this love flows through us, our giving allows us to receive what we are giving: love, and plenty of it.

We’ve had it backwards for so long that most of us are unaware how this works. If we knew, we’d surely be willing to change the way we operate in our relationships. If we knew that love and generosity are natural states of being for us, we’d do whatever it takes to remove what was in the way of that. If we knew that joy was available to us at all times, requiring that all we do is give up our fear, we’d surely want to experience that.

Undoing the contracted state of the ego takes practice. The good news is that it is possible, and along the way, we receive enough glimpses to keep us going. In fact, just the willingness to remember who we are and move into love makes life feel magical again. We can fall in love with the real and through doing discover that we are. and never have been, alone.

The more we uncover our true identity, the more alive we feel and the more we want to share this experience with others. By sharing I don’t mean preaching, but mostly through being in a state of love and peace, by being an example of what is possible. This speaks much louder than words do. There is nothing wrong with using words as long as they are not used to convert others or pressure them to change.

The possibilities are endless. In my own life, I have a number of challenges that I am working through. In applying these principles to my challenges, it gives me the opportunity to test them out firsthand to prove that they are more than just ideas, but actually work in the most practical sense.

When I apply the principles in my own life, they create miracles. This direct personal experience is part of the Divine Plan of my life. External fixes or rescues only delay alignment with the Divine Plan and trusting that to work in every area of my life.
