In the beginning, there was only the void; they called her Barbelo. She was first. She held the space for God/Source to create in ("The Big Bang"). It's still the same story. The reflection has changed but the foundation remains the same. The earth (mother earth) is the void here, and we are the reflections of God creating life on earth.

We all think there's more to it than this. That one day we will die and it will all just be over. As if there's an end to the madness. But God/Source doesn't die, and you being a reflection of that source, made in his image, will not die either. Death is always followed by a rebirth. The energetic laws of the universe demand it. We never really die. The wheel just keeps spinning. But that doesn't mean it always has to be so hard. Just like there's an infinite number of ways it can go wrong, there's also an infinite number of ways it could go right. "Free will" is real, just very misunderstood. There are so many misconceptions about this and one just feeds the other.

How many people don't believe in God or any other higher power, because nothing good ever happens to them? How many people feel hopeless because of this? It's entirely possible that the system failed you and it had nothing to do with God or your worthiness and everything to do with you believing whether or not you are worthy. Of better, of change.

You only know what you are taught to know in a world built on a foundation of gatekeeping knowledge. There is so much evidence of this in the world. Paying taxes for our children to go to school and learn, paying for college and certifications to get the information we "need" to be "successful". All based on the idea that success is defined by the amount of money that you have. In reality, the money isn't going to buy you what you're actually chasing. A feeling of success, triumph, and joy. The illusion is that everyone's version of it is the same when it's not. We don't share the same dreams, so why do we share the same reality?

Truth is, we're all just trying to survive. It's the hunger games out there and there's more losers than there are winners. It's a rigged game. Unless you can embody a successful, wealthy person, then you can't actually be one. Didn't teach us that in school did they? It doesn't matter what you do, where you go, or who you know. If at your core, you don't believe it's possible for you, then it won't be. That is the true essence of free will. Free to believe whatever you want, but life is what you make it so choose wisely. Learning this is just the first step. You still have to unlearn everything you thought you knew about the way the world works. You can't keep doing things the same way and expect different results. And it's not going to change FOR you. You have to fundamentally change the way you interact with yourself and the world around you at a core level. If you're assuming the worst, you will get the worst. Because after all, life is what you make it.
