Spirit exists in a
state of ease. It is the body that does effort. In order to create
consciously and live from a place of Spirit, it helps greatly if you
are in a state of ease. Ease is also very helpful in being in the
state of spiritual seniority, working from a place of Spirit. Effort
limits spiritual awareness. It is difficult to create consciously if
you are in a state of effort because effort will limit your energy flow
and power. Working through a body that is in effort is not much fun
and at times can be brutal.
You can try experimenting with attempting to do an activity of any kind
first from a place of effort, and then, with ease. If you try very
hard to do the activity, your energy will slow right down. You have to
let go of any messages that say you have to work hard to accomplish, or
that say "no pain, no gain". Next try doing the same activity from the
place of Spirit, from a place of ease and simplicity, just do the
activity. It becomes so simple and moves you toward Spirit, if you
just do it with ease.
So as a
spiritual being of light, you are in a state of ease all of the time.
Spiritual beings of light do not know the state of effort. Effort is
primarily a body phenomenon. You can be in a state of effort in
anything and everything you do. There are some people who stay in
effort every day of their lives; there is effort and stress and an
intense work ethic behind their every action. Being in effort and
working from a body senior state is a difficult and limiting way of
operating. Perhaps your programming, the pictures in your space, tell
you that nothing in life comes easily, or that in order for you to have
something, other people have to suffer, or that you are not worthy of
having ease and joy in your life. If these are your beliefs and you do
not release them, you will stay programmed and spend your life that
way.
You can spend your entire life
in a state of effort, but effort hurts and it makes accomplishing
anything a battle. Being in effort can actually limit how long your
life can be in your current body. Effort is a state of resistance, it
is very hard on the body, taking a great toll physically. If, however,
you begin to notice what effort feels like for you, then you can work
at shifting to a place of ease. You can shift your energy to flow and
have movement. Spiritual beings do ease very well. It is their
nature. It is the true nature of each of us. It is just that our
bodies can be so senior; it becomes difficult to validate the fact that
ease is truly possible. It is amazing how unlimited creating from ease
is.
