Learned

Do you think you’re learning? And how much and in what way? Do you think that everything is a learning experience; that your life is here just to teach you something, for you to get new information which will later help you in choosing your growth path, growth within yourself?
If so, you’re very close to the truth, very close to your own source, to yourself.
Coming to this dimension is something you chose on your own. You wrote your own invitation as well as everything that would await you here. And while you’re now chained to your own lives, reading this text, you’re wondering how you could have chosen that; how you could have chosen that when there are so many other things you would prefer now, so many changes you would make if you could. We ask you: Why wouldn’t you? Why wouldn’t you change? If you have the desire within, all you need to do is to set it free and follow its steps; it will take you exactly where you’ve chosen to be, even before you’ve discovered that desire.
That’s because you created the desire, precisely when you were creating and preparing everything else for your own life. But then most of you, when you meet it—your own desire in your life—become afraid and hide, waiting for it to pass. And then you’re surprised at the dismay and suffering you feel within, you’re surprised at the despondency and sorrow… and all of that comes when you don’t respect your own wishes, when you don’t respect your own life.
Courage is something you like to see in movies, it’s something you possess but don’t like to reveal; you’d rather store it away in your drawers. That’s because once you let it out, there’s is a chance it may take you somewhere far away, and that you may end up facing changes, which you resist so persistently. Change is so natural but also so difficult that just the thought of its “consequences” can make you afraid… of losing something, of gaining something… of everything which would distance you from where you are now, regardless of how things are for you at present.
And now combine desire and courage. And what do you see? If you want to see.
You don’t need any kind of map then; those two things plot the way as you go, showing you the already chosen direction, everything you wanted, even before you arrived here.
And regardless of what you find at the end of the road—happiness, sorrow, joy, pain… — that’s your new experience. That’s exactly what you need for your further growth and understanding of yourself and the world around you. The outcomes of those small games of yours don’t matter; what matters is that you play them because even the saddest results are less sad than the absence of the games themselves. Not playing those games would be going against the natural order of life.
So, move and play. There are no winners, there’s only you in the game, all other players you meet are in their own game, so there’s no opportunity for competition. It’s all about movement, passion, and courage for all the things you’ve already chosen and for all the things you want to realize in this lifetime—so easy and so simple.
