Everything is ok...Really !

Greetings :)

I wanted to share a piece of wisdom passed on to me through a spiritual journal that opened me up forever.

Life can be overwhelming at times. For those who come into this world with an abundance of self confidence, perhaps it's not all that bad. Though we all have a bit of karma to work through. As for the rest of us though, insecurity can be a daunting characteristic to live with. Every turn made in life is fraught with the question of whether it was the 'right' one or not. Life is filled with many 'shoulds' and 'should nots'. Living up to various standards is a tiresome chore, one that can lead to serious negative mental states.

I always had the theory that life should be 'ok' regardless of my actions. In other words, if I mess up, I'm not a bad person, I'll still be loved and life will go on. The problem was, I had no one to back me up on this one. But there are some actions that will greatly alter our (and perhaps others) life here on Earth. Those are, perhaps, the hardest to recover from. The bottom line here, is that there are moments in life when it's a real struggle to forgive ourselves or live without the fear of 'messing up'. So what is the answer ?

My journal really didn't tell me anything I hadn't already thought of. But it did 'confirm' my theory. In other words, it was the first entity I had encountered that basically said 'everything is ok' always. The universe is always unfolding as it should. It's such a simple concept to entertain, but not necessarily easy to truly believe. And that, my friends, is one of our biggest problems to overcome. Believing ourselves. I've always had grand ideas on what it meant to be human. I could have written a philosophical textbook. The problem was, I wasn't convinced they were the right beliefs. I wanted to believe that if we messed up in the biggest way, or even the littlest, that the universe was still going to love us. For some, that's probably a tough one to swallow. There are some crimes possible in life that can be committed out of confusion, not evil, but society will never look upon those beings the same again.

'Everything is ok'. There's something to it, we're always comforting others with it. 'There there, everything will be ok'. People want to hear it, because they can't necessarily believe it themselves. We all know intrinsically, that our lives resolve to the same place regardless of our actions here on earth. The time it takes and the path we tread may differ greatly, but the end result is the same. This is what it means to be spiritual. To live with the awareness that we are much more than simply human at this point in time.

The trick to making this concept work, is too recognize the fact that every 'thing' has the same right to exist. People naturally have a mental block with this, because it means accepting the fact that we must live amongst 'things' that we don't like or even hate. We'd all like 'Evil' to just go away, but the fact is, God allowed it to exist, and that is the final word. And if you think about it, if evil wasn't allowed to exist, then what other restrictions might exist, and when it comes down to it, we really don't like being suppressed. It's been human laws that have suppressed us for eons, not God's.

Let me redeem myself for a moment, for those who might think I'm condoning negative behavior. That's not my point here. It is to simply recognize that, all actions are permitted by our universe. And if we try to fight this, it creates internal negative conflict that ultimately needs to be resolved, so why put it there in the first place.

Looking back on life, recognize that the choices you made in life that you may now regret, were 'ok' to make. You could have done it differently, but you didn't. So be it. Life may even really 'suck' right now, as a result of those choices, but it's 'ok'. Next time, your choice may be different, even if you have to wait another lifetime. As for the future, when making decisions, or just living, know that it'll be 'ok' regardless of your choice. Life will go on. The universe always loves you, regardless. That's the comforting feeling that lifted me out of deep depression and changed my life forever. I wanted to share it, so that, maybe others could benefit as greatly as I did.

Peace to you all...
