What If That Was Just a Part of Your Past Level? But You're Not Letting It Go Because You Believe It's *Truth*
"That's how life is!" ...is it? OR is that how life is *on that LEVEL*? Yes, "level" like in a video game.
Setting the Stage: Are We in a Video Game?!
If you’re new around here, you might be wondering what the heck I’m talking about when I reference a “level”. Well, I absolutely love comparing this life to a video game 💁🏼♀️ There’s a part of our Soul that’s here in this human body, our human avatar. There’s a larger part of our Soul (Who We Are) that’s outside of this body, outside of the physical realm, that is “playing the game”. But we (the Soul aspect in the human body) are playing the game, too! We’re not really separated from the grander part of the Soul outside the body - we’re just here as one aspect, exploring.
But the Soul in the human body doesn’t know all the Soul outside the body knows. We come in forgetting - that’s part of the design (of this reality, this avatar, this world, this whole thing called “being a human”…). We come here (in part) to explore, adventure, and (I believe) align with Love. Learn about Love. Evolve by learning about (and living in alignment with) Love! While I do fundamentally believe we are perfect as Souls (not as humans, but as Souls), I believe that the perfection that we already are can keep on learning and evolving. Diversifying. Just like we could say that a flower is already perfect but through millions of years it can evolve into something different that’s also perfect! (Just a different version of perfection, an expanded version of perfection.)
I simply, fully believe we (on a Soul level) chose to “play this game”. I believe we made a great many choices before we incarnated, such as who this avatar would be (sort of like choosing your character in a game with all its many attributes, but you’re not choosing its destiny), what family we would be here with (I align with the notion that we all agreed to this lifetime as Souls, as a Soul group/family), where we would incarnate (truly, physical location), etc.
I think we also chose certain life possibilities, but never did we choose destiny. That anything would have to happen. Now, on some life paths, perhaps some things DO have to happen because of their design (because of the life path design)? But there’s still always free choice within. And we always had free will in whether or not we chose a certain life path!
There will always be pivot points where we are truly one decision away from a new life. (Ya know that cliche phrase? I mean, it’s cliche because it’s True!)
Choosing the Familiar & Waking Up
Part of this human programming is that we tend to choose the familiar. We choose what we’re used to, even if it sucks. We accept a great many miserable things as “normal”. We are very quick to live on autopilot!
Yet could this be part of the game, too? Could there be an objective to wake up to this programming and live differently? Live intentionally? (As in, could this be a quest/mission that we chose?)
I see one of the ultimate aims of this game as waking up to Who We Are as Souls. When we wake up to Who We Are as Souls, we wake up to the Love that’s inside, the Love from which we come. THEN we remember that part of our mission is to align with this Love and express that Love and be that Love and allow that Love to change the lives of those around us and the trajectory of our own lives.
Now we’ve got us a little foundation. So, to continue on with the video game analogy…
From Waking Up to Leveling Up
We get to level up.
When we are “done” with a level, it’s, well, time to level up! You don’t want to keep repeating the same level over and over and over again, do you? (Some people do… Or even if they don’t want to, they still end up repeating and living in the same old cycles… This is what happens when we don’t choose awakening! In any capacity.)
We learned what we needed to learn, we accomplished the mission of that level, we expanded in all the ways the level allowed…
And then it’s time to move on.
What will the next level hold?!
We can’t know for certain. We can have little inklings! BUT we can’t know for sure.
I think part of the reason we cannot know for sure is because we get to put together an infinite number of puzzle pieces to create our own unique level. Sure, the pieces (raw materials, if you will) may be there! But we get to decide which ones we choose to align with and how we would like to put them together.
We have a whole freakin’ lot of reality (“level”) creation power. Every single one of us.
Now, here’s the real question of this article:
Who’s to say that what was a part of the last level will be a part of the next one?
Differences in Levels
This hit me in the car the other day.
I don’t even know what brought it to mind, but I got to thinking about how we’re always told that suffering is the way to breakthrough and growth. I totally agree that it can be! But is that always going to be the case?
Or is that just the case for my current level? (I say “my current level” because I’ve experienced it to be true for myself.)
But here’s another truth…
Others have found that breakthroughs and growth can also come through joy and ease and fun and play...
Are they simply on another level already? (No one is better than another, so we get to toss that out right now!)
You cannot fully experience that to which you’re not an energetic match - you must match enough, in frequency, to be able to experience a certain reality (then once you begin to experience it, your frequency can continue to shift…). BUT…
You can see into other reality options, even if you’re not able yet to fully experience them (just because you are not yet a match, you are not yet to that level).
This is part of what helps us dream, what helps pull us along!
We’re all in our own reality bubbles, truly - we can see into the realities of others while we are still experiencing something different of our own.
But we cannot even begin to start shifting our frequency to that of another (higher) level if we don’t believe in the first place.
The Importance
You may be wondering why the heck this matters, apart from it being a fun thought experiment. (And, yes, fun matters on its own too! Of course!)
But it matters because it helps us believe, dream, trust the mystery, and “level up” (and “leveling up” matters for the evolution of human consciousness, the shifting of the vibration of the planet, our own personal evolution, and so much more).
We cannot experience that to which we’re not an energetic match.
We cannot experience that in which we don’t believe.
How could you ever truly and authentically shift your vibration to match a reality you don’t even believe is possible?
We have to believe. (And this is crucially, vitally important right now.)
Believing in what’s possible is called hope.
Believing that awesome things are possible is called hope.
You can have hope even while you are noticing and acknowledging the pain, hurt, and suffering that’s in your own life and in the world around you. Hope says that it can change.
Hope isn’t about being delusional and it’s not about bypassing. (Have you ever considered what’s truly “delusional” in the first place? Radical belief in infinite, awesome possibilities is labeled delusional by some… Don’t let others knock you down.)
Hope is about believing in what you want life to be - for yourself and others.
And I believe it begins with remembering Who You Are! Remembering Who/What God is. Remembering that you chose to be here. Remembering how much power you have.
Remembering there are infinite possibilities that our human brains do not have to comprehend. (I don’t believe our human brains are meant to comprehend.)
We get to look around for signs of what else is possible. We get to stay open for “downloads” or Internal (Intuitive) Knowings coming in (where we start to dream for things not spurred on by what we’ve observed around us).
We get to follow the breadcrumbs.
We get to be the ones to take the leap and show others what’s possible!
Help them dream.
And then we’ll all be dreaming together…
Everyone having new dreams, new ideas…
The power amplifies.
We can do this in and with Love - when we remember the Love that We Are and the Love from which we come.
Your life gets to be amazing - DREAM FOR IT!
You get to help the world be amazing - DREAM FOR IT!
Both get to happen at the same time.
Please don’t accept things as “just the way life is”. That’s nonsense. There’s no such thing as “just the way life is”.
I get it that there are things that are typical and therefore are labeled “normal”! But that still doesn’t mean they are the only possibilities.
You have no freakin’ clue what levels are ahead of you. What’s possible. (Neither do I!)
But you know what? We’ll never find out if we never dare to dream.
Daring to dream is not being selfish and it’s not checking out of what’s going on.
In fact, I think daring to dream for the seemingly impossible is part of being the change.
I will never apologize for being a radical, optimistic dreamer. I hope you’re with me on that, Sweet Souls.
We’ve got missions to complete! We’ve got Love to be.
We’ve got dreams to dream.
Do you feel like you’re on the cusp of a new level? (Psst… I recorded a podcast episode about some signs that you might be ready to level up! It’ll be out by the time that this article publishes. It’s episode 9 and you can find the podcast here!)
Is it time to let go and leap into the new?
That’s how things are feeling for me. Let’s be brave and just do the thing!
We get to trust that there are infinite timelines aligned with Love that are all around us. Even if others don’t choose these realities… We can.
What was once a part of your reality does not always need to be a part of your reality.
Thank you so much for being on this planet at this time with me, Sweet Souls!
