Paradise is not lost…
Paradise is not Lost. It is a choice we are being invited to make now.
Discover why global chaos is not collapse but evolution in motion.
You may be wondering what’s happening and why everything feels so chaotic.
• Why is Life so challenging right now?
• Did we know it would be like this?
• What is the purpose of being a Human in a divided world?
• Are we meant to pick a side?
Living in chaos can feel frightening, confusing, even meaningless. But in the architecture of Life, chaos is not a failure of the system. It is part of the system. Chaos is not a bad thing. It is a sign of change: out of chaos all new order arises. Every new expression of Life is preceded by a phase of demolition. Old forms, old stories, and old structures are being dismantled to make room for what is coming next. That’s where we are now.
Current times are unprecedented; they are not indicative of our Future, but they lead the way to it. A world in chaos can appear very dis-orderly, but this won’t last for long. Chaos is only a season. Life is an eternal cycle of innovation. The past is always eclipsed by new ways of thinking, feeling, and being. Life always moves forward; nothing is ever the same.
A world in chaos is actually a powerful reminder: everything is being reinvented. We are evolving in real time.
THE ONE PURPOSE OF LIFE
Life can appear random, as if It has no plan or purpose. When a reality is ending and its structures are dissolving, the underlying pattern of perfect order can be hard to remember. However, Life does have a Master Plan. The one purpose of Life is exploration: I Am that I Am.
Life’s one desire is to know all that It Is.
Creation exists to fulfill Life’s infinite curiosity. This includes you and me. This universe that we call home is one of trillions upon trillions that exist—each charged with the same assignment: explore the infinite possibilities of Being.
Though we often spend our lives searching for our purpose, we will ultimately remember that there is only one purpose in Life no matter where we are. Life’s purpose is our own. We exist for Life to know Itself—as us, and through us.
We are created to fulfill Its agenda. Our purpose is not to milk this one Human experience for all we can because we only live once. Who we really are continues forever. Life’s ambition of complete self-awareness ensures our purpose is an eternal adventure. To explore “All that Life can Be” means we are never finished.
Ours is a mission with no end. This is why there is no death in Life. It never stops. We never die.
AN ENDLESS JOURNEY
Our Journey through Creation is an endless adventure. Every doorway we walk through offers a fresh perspective—a chance to make new meaning and contribute to Life’s increasing awareness of Itself. There is no such thing as retiring from Life. We never stop evolving.
The top of every pyramid we reach is a point of new beginning. The apex is not a finish line. It offers a moment of contemplation and celebration for having come this far before we begin preparing for what happens next. Life is never static. Its plan calls for continuous optimization.
In this eternal vortex of refinement, the creation of a Paradise state is not only possible, it is inevitable. This is where Life is always headed. There is no place for us to go in Life but up.
TIME IS AN ILLUSION
“All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts…” —Shakespeare
We are experiencing Life in a dimension called time. Here we have absolute freedom to try on any costume of meaning and call any idea real because, at a point, time ends. Time is round. It moves in cycles of every conceivable duration. The moment we have conclusively demonstrated that our ideas are not eternally true, that cycle in time begins to end; that reality starts to break down. Only what is eternal continues. All that is conditionally true in time is not sustainable.
The collective idea that Life on Earth is a struggle just to stay alive is a scene we can enact on the stage of time, but not a truth we can explore forever. This is not Life’s Vision of Itself, so it cannot be ours for long—only for a moment in time.
OUR PURPOSE ON EARTH
Because living in fear and limitation is inhibiting the evolution of this civilization, Life is responding by sending waves of infinite Love to flood this reality with a new influence to activate a shift.
Life is One energy. It senses any disturbance within Its field. Anytime the pendulum of our explorations swings too far out of balance in any direction, Life enlists aspects of Itself to re-establish equilibrium. Where a part of Life has become consistently bitter, It will send Its sweetness to reset the palate. If a part of Life forgets to inhale, a team is dispatched to regulate the breathing of that corner of Creation.
We are the Balance Life sent. Like white blood cells in the body, our function is to restore homeostasis and rectify all imbalances that a fearful, limited mind has infected this civilization with. To be on this planet now means we are on an evolutionary mission to unveil a totally new way to be Human.
This world in fear is balanced by Love. Love is the One Creative Energy that continuously fuels Life’s Exploration of Itself. All of Creation is in Love because this is the frequency that enables Life’s Plan of Reinvention to unfold forever.
As evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis said,
“Life did not take over the world by combat, but by networking.”
Life is not in competition with Itself but endless collaboration. Our mission is to step out of the game of “survival of the fittest” and find our way into union. Love keeps all of Life close together. It is only with such intimacy that Life can discover everything about Itself.
Love is the magnetic attraction that forms all bonds. It is the invisible technology behind all transformation, encouraging everything in Creation to die over and over, for resurrection is guaranteed. Love gives us the confidence to push our limits and know all that we can be.
Desire is the catalyst for all movement of consciousness.
As humans with free will, we have the power to make this world into a battleground or a playground. Life passes no judgment on any meaning we make of it; new ideas are always encouraged and entertained for the knowledge they can uncover.
No experience we have can ever be a waste of time; no meaning we make of Life is better or worse. Our passage through time is not being critiqued, for the only goal is experience.
However, a world in chaos is our reminder to exit this stage. There is nothing more for us to learn about fear. We have clearly demonstrated that living as an embodiment of limitation can lead to the accumulation of very exotic knowledge, yet deprivation can only take us so far before we begin to experience diminishing returns that erase all gains.
A world in chaos is our sign to move on. Now is the moment to wrap up whatever we are calling true, remove the costume of meaning we have put on, and prepare for our next act. “As Above, so below” is not only an eternal truth, it is a promise and a blueprint to begin the future.
Life’s plans call for peace on Earth. The question on the table now is: What will be the catalyst that persuades us to share Life’s vision? What could persuade an entire race of beings to surrender their current plans and accept the invitation to upgrade?
Paradise sounds like a really nice place, but what will motivate a human with free will and the power of transformation to choose Love over fear so that it actually happens? The simple answer lies in our choice.
Paradise is not lost. It is a potential inside each of us waiting to be chosen. How we each reach this state of consciousness is the purpose of our existence.
