Everyone has the same life purpose: We are here to fully express the Christ within.
We have all got the same decision to make: We can choose to accept our Divinity and follow the guidance that comes from our Christ Consciousness -- or not.
There is only a single story in the Bible: That story is about our using more won't power than will power when it comes to "expressing our divinity."
The following illustration is an example of our on-and-off-again relationship. The story comes from the 8th Chapter of John's Gospel, verses 2-11:
2. Early in the morning He came again to the temple: (When we're centered in Spirit, we begin each day connected to our Christ Nature. Jesus stands for that aspect in us that realizes our Christ potential and is our unfolding pattern of perfection.) All the people came to him and he sat down and began to teach them: (As we intentionally "practice the Presence," the more Divine wisdom we will receive.)
3. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery and made her stand before all of them: (Our critical nature. which often is really hypocrisy, is represented by the Pharisees. This attitude tries to keep us stuck in the letter of the law so we stay in the tight box of dogma and doctrine. The personality tries to discredit our receptivity to Truth principles, represented by the woman, by signaling out our failures.)
4. They said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery: (Guarded by its self-righteousness hypocrisy, our ego even manufactures ways to make us feel less spiritual, while at the same time hypocritically hiding behind its own limitations.)
5. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" 6. They said this to test Him, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him: (Moses as an adult represents that within us that aligns more with the letter of the law instead of the spirit of the law. Our judgmental nature tests our spiritual growth because it wants us to adhere to the status quo.)
6. Jesus bent down and wrote with His finger on the sand. (This signifies our Christ Self lowering itself into our sense chakra to purify it. We wake up to the fact that we are spiritual beings having a human experience.)
7. When they continued questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, "Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone at her." (We remind ourselves that our old tapes have no power over us.)
8. And once again He bent down and wrote on the ground: (Our 'I Am' Consciousness lowers Itself a second time to strengthen us and to bring us into a right relationship with our Christ Nature.)
9. When they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders: (When the Spirit moves, its powerful vibration dissolves even the oldest, most encrusted beliefs, assumptions and prejudices, causing them to lose their resonance and fade away.) And Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before Him: (Once we put the noise of our judgmentalness aside we stand firm in our awareness of our true nature).
10. Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?": (When we allow that still, small voice to direct us, we have power over any and all negativity).
11. She said, "No one, Sir.": (We can say emphatically, through affirmations and denials, that nothing can keep us from our good). And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do not sin again.": (Our Christ nature sees only the good in us. Once we are consciously one with our God-Self, by going to our heart center, we will hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil. All we need to do is practice more will power than won't power so we don't miss the mark.)
This story is about you and us and everyone on the planet. It reminds us to remember the Truth of who we really are, so we can express and enjoy our innate Divinity, the Godness that is present at our birth.
