Native State
To begin, my bucket list is short but defined. If you do not know my past, I was much like you. I was driven to be something, provide for myself and my family. Time off from work was one of two things, letting go of the stress I collected during the week, month or year, or sleep.
Now, I want to share a couple of definitions, so you better understand this writing, my reason for being, and help you come to know that who and what are now, is light years from your essence.
Definitions:
Native: a place of beingness, beginning, birth, origin
State: the particular condition that someone or something is in at a specific time.
Essence: the intrinsic nature or indispensable quality of something, especially something abstract, that determines its character. Pure, without contamination.
Quintessence: the aspect of something regarded as the intrinsic and central constituent of its character. A refined essence or extract of a substance.
Before I address my “bucket-list”, I want to give some examples of what is not the essence, the origin, or native state of us. Since pictures speak a thousand words, I will incorporate some images. Remember, I too lived the lie of us that many now so proudly tout and defend.
These representative images are not our essence, but manipulated beingnesses that we believe help us be worthy. These pictures are who we have become, prisoners, created by dictated agenda driven circumstance in the effort to “survive”. These are the perversions that bind us to a delusional existence.
At this point, we haven’t a clue, nor would most accept our native state of being. Our infinite beingness is so vastly different than finite mindsets are willing to grasp. As societies, we would rather remain comfortably safe in our taught perceptions than we would stepping back into our simple beautiful selves. We say we revere God, but if we truly did, we would live past the deceptions and lies we justify. Stop defining yourself with tiny humanly crafted labels. Stop reaching for a better you, for you never could be better than you were in creation.
So, now for my bucket-list.
First and foremost on my list; to live more Divinely, beyond everything finitely crafted by the worldly. This includes struggling past my failings, “standing” back up, dusting myself off, and continuing toward a divine beingness.
Second, spend my days planting seeds that illicit others to look beyond their lives, beyond everything they have been taught, and to trust God and themselves. Here in our existence, we have free-will, so the most I can do is sow divine seeds and leave breadcrumbs to help others come to know they are more wondrous than they will fathom. ~ I Am - Wisdom
