Creating Bridges: Spirituality & Philosophy:
Blending Human and Divine Love
A Creator’s Self-Worth
|
|
|
by Ornesha De Paoli |
|
|
When the “Blending the Human and Divine” series of articles began a year ago, there was really no planned destination for what would be talked about. The only “plan” I could find was one that would simplify as many non-understandable spiritual perceptions as possible within the limits of the English language.
Since that time, huge amounts of clarity have arisen into a delightful and unique “take” on life, our existence, and other spiritual “rules” that I’ve learned I CAN do without.
Over the past year it has also come to my attention the masses of humans who no longer feel that they want to follow the old structure of their spirituality. They would, instead, enjoy the freedom of distinctively understanding their own enlightenment apart from what has been taught as truth.
Within the last few years especially, a critical mass of consciousness has definitely said that it was time to figure things out, understand why we are all here, and expand beyond where we once were. We can call this ascension, enlightenment, or even give it a new name it doesn’t matter. What matters is that it’s a natural process where everyone in existence consciously or unconsciously becomes a player in the game, one way or another.
This is not a process for “special people!” It’s not something that only the chosen worthy few have been able to commence upon. An imbalanced ego would bring that energy into it. This is what you and I and the rest of existence has chosen to do. In what timeframe one chooses to consciously allow this, would be the only thing in question.
But once you choose to allow yourself to become a conscious player, probably the first thing to acknowledge would be a new type of responsibility toward self. It would be to really and truly look at self as The Creator and then understand that everyone else you see is also The Creator, creating on his or her own timeframe.
This has historically been a tough one to actually admit to ourselves as “mere humans”. Oh the belief systems that we’ve placed on ourselves and the hardships we’ve put ourselves through in order to come around full circle! And if you listen to others talking and get involved in the scuttlebutt of the collective consciousness at this point, you would probably find yourself getting all caught up in it over and over again. It’s the fear that’s out there everywhere. It’s the fear of change that the collective is feeling while they are unconsciously going through this process.
So maybe it’s time to step away from the collective consciousness and fall into self for your own growth and understandings about you. Maybe it’s time to stop listening to the fear that’s out there and begin listening to the Creator that is now and has always been there inside of you, waiting for this moment.
Simplicity
Anything, anything that is pure and clear is simple. I know how complicated life can become and how easy it is to get pulled into the complications and make them real. There is an endless supply of complications that we will give to ourselves until we stop and feel for the truth. The truth evolves constantly into new truths, but one thing always remains. Each truth is simple and the simpler it gets the less limits are placed upon it.
As our former beliefs become simpler, they sort of lose their normal definitions because we move past these definitions to the source. The definitions we’ve given things in our lives doesn’t make them real, other than our own beliefs that they are real.
It’s as if the simpler you get, the less human overlays and definitions remain. The simplest form is always going to be the purest. It’s going to be the clear and pure energetic understanding of you.
And when you get to this clear and pure energetic understanding of self, you can easily see the difference between the old energy of earth, living in this illusion, and the new, clear energy that is upon us.
When you get to the simplest form of yourself and look at it from there, you see it with new eyes and without limits or definitions. Your perspective automatically expands itself well beyond its former meaning.
Thus, one thing that greatly assists humans in their own enlightenment is to look for the simplicity behind things. This means the simple basic core energy behind your decision to carry a specific belief about yourself up until now.
(Note that it may take minutes, months, or even lifetimes to get to the pure energy behind something. That’s just the way it is. It is directly related to our allowance for ourselves to get there. Normally, us humans want to fight the things that we don’t like. Huh…And if it becomes “hard” and we fight it by trying to push ourselves through it, it will then take longer because we’ve simply forgotten to just allow this process. It’s a natural process.)
You really can’t MAKE it go any faster than it’s naturally capable of doing. You can, however, consciously be aware of what’s happening and clear the blocks that make this process difficult and very ungraceful. I know about this. I’ve been very ungraceful many times!
There’s no force in this process except for the force that may be required for you to slow your life down and step aside. It would be like exiting the expressway and parking for a moment; even though you believe you have to be somewhere, you stop for a moment so that you have a different vantage point.
Baby Steps
As an example of finding the simplest form of pureness and clarity, let’s look at our understanding of self-worth.
This means inner self-worth, or The Creator’s self-worth.
This can be quite a big and confusing subject, so along the lines of simplicity, let’s see if we can get as simple as possible with it.
Inner self-worth, first of all, in turn begets outer self-worth. And let’s face it. If there were nothing blocking the way for your pure, natural and abundant creations as The Creator of your existence, you’d have everything you could possibly imagine, and have it readily available to you, the Creator.
You wouldn’t give yourself any reasons why you couldn’t have anything. Fact is, that no one ever said that you couldn’t have anything. It has always been you believing it and then showing yourself your beliefs.
In looking at self-worth, first and always remember to take the observer’s standpoint. Step aside from yourself and watch from a distance if you want to. Do this as if you are on T.V. and playing a character in your own show.
(Anytime there is any type of “issue” to look at in yourself, it’s always easier to pull yourself out of the loop so that you can see it without all of the old definitions or attachments.)
So let’s talk quickly about what self-worth isn’t. Self-worth doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with your bank account. It’s doesn’t have anything to do with your health, your children, how hot it is outside, the type of car you drive, or the job you have. These things may remind you of your own worthiness, but all are simple indications of your choices and are details of your existence, but they not your self-worth. They are all a part of your grand illusion.
Again, we all can tend to get stuck in the details of “life”, thinking that they’re what matters. And although they’re indications of what we believe to be true, they are not the things to get caught up in, as there is always a bigger picture happening.
See if you can just look at worthiness for a moment, or for that matter, unworthiness. Take off the labels and the definitions and just feel it – not with the mind, but with the quietness within. All you have to do is allow yourself to do this and it is so. It doesn’t have to be hard.
Breathe into your core and find quiet, stillness. Your mind wants to race and find an answer doesn’t it? As your mind goes through thoughts of what it is or isn’t, remember that these thoughts are from this dimension, the human collective. You want to move beyond this. So accept these thoughts from this dimension into your heart for what they are and again, breathe and allow them to relax. This is being gentle with yourself and yourself likes that you can be gentle and non-judgmental with it.
FEEL THE ENERGY OF IT. The energy of all beliefs is just energy. It can feel tense, dull, strained, moving, dense, heavy, dancing, etc. Feel the energy of unworthiness. Feel it in your body and your soul. The sheer magnitude of it may bring you to tears. Allow that. Don’t get involved, just feel.
Take a moment.
Once upon a time there was something called utopia. It was a single organism that held everything within it. Its name was utopia. Every particle in utopia knew what was up with the rest of itself and moved and floated about freely. Every particle in the organism was a unique piece itself, yet the same in that it was utopia.
Now, utopia didn’t even need to realize this fact, of course, until it did! And upon the realization of the obvious, a new reality was born. (You can’t un-realize or un-expand in your realizations.) Everything changed. This movement from the former reality brought about the energy of fear in that things were different and moving. Utopia was expanding itself.
Each particle of utopia realized itself and realized that each was a piece of the whole. But what was “a piece of the whole?” What does that mean? Well, to find out, that piece would need to see what the actual piece is made up of. Then, it could become clear. That piece would see and become everything so that it knew what the “whole” was, while keeping the realization and awareness that it was still a piece of the whole.
The conscious breath of existence took its unprecedented breath in the realization of its existence- in and out, and opposition began. Cycles were created for self-preservation and self-understanding
But whoa, that movement and change brought about some beautifully unexpected effects. It brought about separation in realizing basic individuality, communication to exchange information with the rest of self, and the fear of the unknown with the actual awareness in choosing which direction to go.
But how can you choose which way to go in the emptiness of existence? It’s almost like looking into the darkness, isn’t it? Yet at the same time being able to see self as opposed to the darkness of void existence. Would you say that next to the darkness of existence you would appear “light”?
Now, this place of “darkness” is actually where creation is born. It’s all potentials unrealized, waiting to be activated by the Creator. You could say that the “light” needs the “dark” in order to create and one would not exist without the other. Yet, darkness, being feared for its unknown qualities, was given a label. And keep in mind that this is now and has always simply been self looking AT self. In fact, take the label off of darkness for a moment and feel it.
(I’m not typing for a moment so that you can feel “darkness” with me.)
There’s seemingly nothing going on is there? There’s stillness with the potentials of anything and everything behind the illusion of what we can’t see. And because we can’t see it clearly yet, since it hasn’t come into detailed creation, it appears to be in the darkness of the unknown.
Self-Worth
What happens when there’s a part of you that you can see, and then a part of you that you can’t see? The part of you that you can see is considered the “light” and then the part that you can’t see is automatically considered the “dark”. Add the label that darkness has been given and the dark becomes unwanted. A natural and beautiful part of self quickly becomes unwanted and discarded as being bad.
The “energy” of unworthiness feels dull and unwanted. If it were a person, you would possibly see their head hanging down. You might see gray, depressed energy like that of an elderly, dieing person. (Not that “dieing” is even real, rather the continuation of an on-going cycle.)
Now look at your judgments that you may have for the dark. They may range from evil, to frightening, unwanted, useless, or ugly. And in them rests your issues of worthiness. It’s the part of you that you haven’t wanted to look at because you believed that it was bad.
Worthiness again, doesn’t have to do with “how much you think you’re worth”, but instead, it has to do with the amount of appreciation you have for yourself, your journey, and your true nature. You’ve been around for a long, long time, maybe not quite understanding why you’ve shown yourself pain and struggle. The pain and struggle have come from the desire to see all of self. All of self is the light and the dark. It is the in and the out, the up and the down.
And while not recognizing the dark for it’s beauty in creation, the dark has been shunned and pushed aside. It has been experienced many times over for only one reason. To be loved for what it is, not feared for what it isn’t.
Right about here, is where I’m reminded of a great self-check you can do with yourself while working through the seemingly endless cycles of this sometimes-frustrating process. One of the most simplistic awarenesses to have is your own awareness of your beliefs in good and bad or light and dark. If you respond, at all, to anything you believe is bad or dark, you are carrying a charge for it, don’t like it and are denying that part of yourself that is asking to be loved and balanced.
Ask yourself often, “Is this bad? Do I not like it?” If the answer is “yes”, OBSERVE that you don’t like it, feel the energy behind it, embody that energy with full ACCEPTANCE in that FACT that you don’t like it (without the emotional charge of being personally involved), and breathe through the movement of it to RELEASE. You can be happy that you’ve seen it and understand that each time you consciously see these things and love them, you’re actually catapulting yourself through them to a new awareness.
And remember; remember deeply and clearly how it feels to be worthy of Who You Are. Allow the deepest memories to emerge about who the Creator is, regardless of who you’ve been taught to believe you were – or were not.
You are everything. You are the Alpha and the Omega. You are the light and the dark. The dark is not bad – The light is not good. They are meant to dance with each other in the beauty of Creation. The dark is where the miracles reside, and it’s up to you, to allow the other half of the dark (the light) to bring these miracles into manifestation.
Graciously,
Ornesha

Every moment for the past twenty years has been a spiritual practice for me. The practice, however, has taken me into the world of the living, breathing human. Without ever (in this lifetime) having a group or affiliation to look to for answers, it became apparent a long time ago, that the answers would come from me.
My life has been artistically constructed to observe, without judgment, the dual nature of humanity’s existence, and in that, locate the steps to move beyond it. Thus, I have become a “poster child” of navigating through the web of the human belief systems.
In 2004, I consciously set out to unravel each system while at the same time, considering how rapidly a human body could endure the balancing and neutralizing of all beliefs and controls we’ve placed upon ourselves.
Working in conjunction with, and through the assistance of many Guides and Ascended Masters, it has become apparent that the opportunity of living in Ascension while living as a Human has come. The result comes in creating from a new heart center that is found in Divine Neutrality.
Divine Neutrality is where the concept of Ascension lies. It is in the complete understanding of Self without the safety net of fears, judgments, or doubts. It is where the human body no longer holds the limitations of the human condition and becomes free to blend with Divinity. It is where all pieces of self are brought back in, honored, and freed to form The One.
The O.A.R. Method has been developed to take us through these belief systems in a very systematic way in order to neutralize and balance them. In the neutralization of the human experience, the body will no longer hold or attach itself to being "just" human, and in the process, move beyond duality itself into enlightenment.
Ornesha resides in a quiet town north of Santa Fe, New Mexico where she devotes her time to being an example of love to her two children and a guide to those who seek.
