Evolving Beings

Just a note to all of our loyal readers that Evolving Beings will be on vacation for the next 3 weeks.

New posts coming after July 25th.

In the meantime, feel free to browse some of our older material and/or recommend any topics that may interest you for August’s articles.

In our quest for a balanced transformative evolution, let us consider a very popular topic today, that of relationships.

Do you notice how relationships can bring out the best and the worst in us?

Are you suffering right now because your relationship with someone else is less than ideal?

Why do most of us constantly inflict our own will upon the other in relationships?

Those and many other questions can be asked when one considers their own purpose and happiness in a relationship. It is only by looking at yourself and within that you can find the answer you need - not at the other person.

The truth is, sooner or later, most people today are miserable in a relationship and the downfall of that always seems to be the same cause - trying to change the other.

Throughout our life, we hear many metaphors for “God”, as we each have our own unique relationship with “God”. A few common ways that people try to relate to ”God” are as “God the Father”, “God the friend”, “God the Creator”, “God the energy”, etc.

Another way that is also very inspirational to relate to God is as “God the gardener“. Some people feel that God can be seen as cultivating the world, giving it water of life, and nourishment from the soils. And so, as this caring gardener tends to all of his “seeds”, he watches them grow and unfold right before his eyes.

The gardener never forces his plants to grow a certain way, but gives them love and all the requirements for life and simply watches them “be”.

Hence when I came across this poem/prayer from Joyce Rupp, it eloquently demonstrated to me, how some people can envision, feel and relate to God as a gardener:

Last night in my very occasional hour of TV watching, I caught an episode of Oprah where she featured 3 comedians: Jim Carey, Carol Burnett and Steve Carell, who are the main voices in the newest Dr. Seuss movie, “Horton Hears a Who“.

I later found out that that episode was a re-run and so I will not re-explain or re-live the show’s highlights. If you have missed it, you can read a really well put together synopsis of it from IM with God.

What I do want to do is focus on the beautiful and profound statement Jim Carey gave Oprah when she asked him if he had a phrase or motto that he lived by. To this he replied “I Am Heaven“.

This statement moved me so deeply, as it did Oprah and probably the entire audience, as instantly the thought came to my head “He got it!”

Can you imagine what life would be like if everybody felt that way?

Can you imagine the impact a person can make on themselves, another or the entire planet living with a paradigm like that?

And so in this article I want to explore these questions and give you a little more insight on how good life actually can be, if we only allow it and on how we can make Heaven a real place for ourselves, right here, right now.
