Adam is author of We will not learn how to be better “creators,” until we first accept the idea that we are creators. We create our life experiences. That makes us God of our life experiences, which are the one “property” that we own. Indeed, it is ironic that we are more inclined to disown our life experiences than “own up” to them. Yet, in owning up, we reap the benefits of responsibility’s acceptance; gain the vision to plot a different course for our life, and the power to move in that direction.

Others will influence our life experiences because in actuality, we are co-creators. However, precious few have acknowledged that the effects of co-creation go in both directions. The president of the United States sets a national agenda, being given broad powers by the citizenry to set a direction for the country, including the power to wage war. But the president does not operate in a vacuum of responsibility. He does not escape accountability to the citizenry. Nor is the citizenry powerless to influence the decisions the president makes. That is, unless each citizen is unaware of his or her own power, which begins with choice.

Instead of becoming conscious creators, we tend to immerse ourselves in fears and prejudices of every kind, nudged in that direction by social policies, perceptions, and practices. However, it is we who make ourselves “nudgeable.” We think “our” group is better than that other group, and that God will forgive our “sins,” but punish our enemies in hell, if we don’t make life hell for them ourselves. We think others are different than we are, and in the illusion of said differences, we permit ourselves to judge them negatively. Oneness is not apparent to us; not with each other, and certainly not oneness with God. It shows in the choices we hold dear, as well as the fears.

Choice is at the beginning and end; the alpha and omega, or all thoughts and actions. Choices can either link energies or break connections that new connections can be formed. We attract people and circumstances into our lives through resonance, and repel other as would magnets whose poles are in opposition. Such is thegenesis of our experience. All experience is divine expression. However, all experience is not sublime.

When we can acknowledge our divine involvement in the creation of experiences that are less than sublime, we will have made a breakthrough. Peace is not achieved through vengeance. Harmony is not achieved through agitation. Prosperity is not achieved by maintaining “pockets” of scarcity. Love is not achieved through fear and hatred. When peace, harmony, prosperity, and love are what we seek, they can be gained only through beingness. That is, by accepting and embracing those very states within us, and expressing them in our choices, thoughts, and resultant actions.

Being peace sets a resonant vibration within us. Being harmony sets a resonant vibration within us. Being prosperity sets a resonant vibration within us. Being love sets a resonant vibration within us. In so being inside, the “outside” becomes that. That is, if we acknowledge who we are, embrace the Creator within, and begin creating our life consciously, moment-to-moment, as peace, as harmony, as prosperity, and as love.
