I know that our current 3D earth experience is frequently represented as a "co-creation", one in which all of us human, animal, plant, and elemental beings have made pre-birth soul agreements to experience this 3D physical life together. I've been giving this concept a great deal of thought lately and it has occurred to me that, as we begin to discover, embrace, and embody more and more of our Sovereignty as a Divine Being, perhaps it becomes less of a co-creation and more of an individual creation.
Take the example of a small child learning to ride a bicycle. When the child is first learning to ride, they often roll right along, confident and comfortable with the ride because they have training wheels attached behind them--but the training wheels are out of sight, out of mind. The child isn't really fully responsible for riding the bicycle just yet. This is a similar state of mind for an "un-awakened" being. They are essentially coasting along, enjoying the illusion that they are creating--but the fact is that their entire reality is and has been created by the collective consciousness, as previously agreed upon.
Once the child realizes that they are becoming more capable of operating a bicycle and the training wheels are actually a hindrance to their independence, they naturally want to take them off. Many times then, a parent will run along beside or behind the child, holding onto their bicycle seat and helping them gain a "feel" for their balance. An intuitive parent will begin correcting or supporting the child less and less as the child begins to find their own sense of balance. I equate this state to the point where a being becomes "awakened" to their true identity as Source (or as many may prefer, an Aspect of Source). The being begins to remember his/her true identity as a Sovereign, Divine Being and slowly begins exercising his or her own free will (oftentimes being supported by his or her own loving, "Higher Self").
Finally, when the child seems ready, the parent will at some point let go of the bicycle. The child is enjoying the ride and concentrating on their balance so much that, more often than not, they don't even realize that the parent has let go! I remember how surprised and thrilled my own son was when I shouted, "HEY DUDE!!! Check it out...you're on your own!!!" This is the point when the child (and the fully-awakened or "enlightened" being) suddenly becomes completely responsible for their own travels and, I suspect, their own creations.
As I travel farther and farther on my own journey, I frequently find myself asking the question, "at what point do we stop 'co-creating' and begin 'creating' on our own?" I suspect it's much sooner than we think. Perhaps we can begin creating on our own the moment we choose to do so--and the moment when we're truly ready to accept full responsibility for our creations. Indeed, perhaps the "illusion" we're all immersed in at the moment isn't a co-creation at all...could it be that what we perceive as co-creation really just serves as the training wheels for our soul's journey?
If there truly are an infinite number of "realities" out there, then surely there must be one for every being. And many more than that if one is to consider the multi-dimensional nature of the soul. Could it be that we're already in our own "individual" universe--and that we are already free to create whatever it is that we wish/intend once we kick off those training wheels?
I'm certainly willing to "dabble" in the co-creative realm for awhile longer--as I'm sure I still need a great deal of practice in finding my own sense of balance and wisdom, but gee...what if we're closer to being full-fledged Creator Beings than we ever thought?
Hmmmmm. Just some food for thought. I'd love to hear what y'all think!
