Secrets of Mind and Reality - MindReality.com

Every negative situation you experience in life is a test to see if you can be moved from who you think you really are. If your sense of self can be changed so easily according to every difficulty, disappointment and failure that you face, then your identity isn’t so true after all. True identity is unchanging and becomes even stronger with each opposing circumstance that seeks to destroy it, because it is tied to true reality.
 
Your true identity is light. The darkness cannot touch you because you are light. In the presence of darkness is where you are able to truly shine as light. Do not allow the darkness to cause you to forget your true identity as light, but to use it as a chance to reinforce who you really are. Rather than allowing the circumstances in the world to shift your sense of self, keep your eyes on true reality.
 
True reality is spirit. Spirit is perfect, complete and whole. Spirit does not need anything to define what it is. It already has everything it wants and is everything it wants to be. Spirit can do anything that it desires to do. When you see from the position of spirit, you are seeing from the position of truth. Truth never changes and it is always the same no matter what appears to be.
 
We cannot seek abundance because we are already abundance. We cannot seek health because we are already health. We cannot seek happiness because we are already happiness. You experience perfect health, abundant love, pure happiness and joy, infinite supply for you know that from wherever our abundance came from there is always an inexhaustible supply. You don’t do things to make you happy because you are already happiness. It is your natural state.
 
The more you encounter negative circumstances, the more you should realize that this world is an illusion. It is all a test to see if you will become ensnared by the illusion of it being the reflection of your true identity. Circumstances that reflect your true identity will always be in alignment with spirit. Only acknowledge circumstances that are in alignment with spirit as a reflection of true reality.

Life is a game for us to play out who we are. No matter what happens, it is still a game. When we are involved in a game, we could experience all the emotions that comes with it. We may be in the game but we do not belong to the game. We are who we are regardless of how the game goes. Before the game, during the game and after the game, everything is what it always is. You have nothing to lose and nothing to attain.
 
As long as we know who we are while we are playing the game, we will run the game instead of letting the game run us. We are able to detach from whatever happens because it is just a game, and we are simply here to have fun experiencing whatever that unfolds. Everything is a gift that helps us evolve in the game to becoming who we already are outside of the game. We are already winners whether we play the game or not.
 
The situations that we face in this world is for the purpose of severing our attachments to apparent reality, so that we may become more and more centered on the reality of spirit. The situations that we face in this world will always fluctuate from positive to negative and back, because it is an illusion. Just when we think we can keep things positive, they change to negative again. Just when we think things will stay negative, they change to positive.
 
Once we realize that we cannot keep things in apparent reality going only one way or another, we wake up from the illusion of control over it. When we no longer need to control it, it no longer controls us. We are no longer swayed by the ebb and flow of apparent reality. What we own, owns us. So instead of try to own apparent reality and letting it own us, we can own true reality instead and be owned by it. Abide in God and God will abide in you.
 
Transcend the illusion of apparent reality by keeping your mind on true reality and you will have peace that is unshakable. You can be happy and grateful because God has already made you everything you want to be, and has giving you everything you want to have. There is nothing for you to do because God is the one doing everything through you and is expressing himself through you.[/hidepost]
