OH MY GOD!

As I am continuing my own unique journey, I for sure, am breaking all the boxes I used to believed in. Freedom to me is a state of mind and finally understanding that no label can define my soul. I just am me. All of me. Period.

You can call me sister or wife, but deep inside I am free from those labels. I am a soul who came here to play with other souls no matter what label we try to put into ourselves. Freedom.

You can say I am Finnish, because I was born in Finland, but deep inside I know, I was born on earth without borders and that the whole world is my playground. Not just Finland, but the whole world. Freedom.

Because I went through a yoga teacher training, you can try to put me in a box called yoga teacher, but to me, it is just another skill on my tool box. It was another way to get to know my soul. Freedom. 

I believe in some bigger force, let's call it the Universe. I don't belong into any religious movements, because my religion goes beyond human made institutions. Mostly, I believe in myself, so I can believe in others. Freedom.

All my human life (or lives), there has been institutions that are controlling us in so many ways. Coverments, religions, families, race, cultures and so on. Today religion came to my mind, because my grandmother was quite religious and I remember we even went to Sunday school with my sister as a child. For some reason I never could really relate with any form of religion. I did feel peace and somehow more connected to some bigger force when I was in church, but something in me knew that I don't need to put my spirit into a box named by someone else. 

All religions are, at the end, based in fear and they are man made. Based in control. Don't do this or that or you will go to hell. If you think differently or you dare to question anything, you will be abondned. If you don't believe as we do, there will be a war. Women don't have the same rights as men and the priests are misusing their positions. Even cults are formed based on Jeesus or God. 

This is not for me, because the way I see it is that god is love and love doesn't control with fear. It doesn't demand anything, it just is and accepts everything and everyone just as they are. What I have discovered is that I am god and so are you.

Genesis 1:27 says: 

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

As I am freeing myself more and more, I have to break the box of religion too. Religion is too limiting when the Universe is everything. Freedom.

Don't get me wrong. This is not a judgement towards any religion or religious movement. Everybody has a right to have their own beliefs.

It is just that for me, it doesn't work, because as the sentence above says very clearly, we are the images of God. We are it!

And this is something we have forgotten. We are giving our own God abilities into the hands of someone else. And all this time, as we pray to some "man" outside of us, we are actually praying to ourselves! It is not once or twice that I have been praying, because I do pray. It is just that lately I have understood that I am actually praying myself to help myself. 

"You're the only one who can save yourself." - Jackson MacKenzie -

From the experience I can say that this is true and if I have this kind of power, it is a big thing! And to me, this is a proof that I am the image of God. Inside of me I have a part of this big force we call the Universe.

As I understood that only I can save myself and I started to do my inner work, things started to happen, nice events and not so nice events, so that I could find my way into my own heart, my own power and my own peace. And this is the God, the force in me, that no one outside of me can ever take away. 

Because we have been so controlled and manipulated, I don't think we truly understand how powerful we are! Even me, I am just starting to understand glimpses of it. 

As I do my inner work, my inner peace grows. I get less reactive, I don't create drama or participate into others drama. I am becoming more loving and gentle. I have more compation and empathy. I am accepting everything and everybody as they are without any judgement. I know how to take care of me and I stand firmly in my own truth. So, I am starting to see everything from a higher perpective. Before all I could see was my own little world and the problems in it. It was all about me and my little life. Now it is different.

I am still very important, but at the same time I start to understand that I am part of something bigger. Something that a human mind can not explain or ever understand. What ever I do, affects the whole world, because it affects the collective energy. 

So what kind of a God do I want to be? The kind that creates more misery and fear or the kind that creates more love, compation and acceptence? More freedom (ps. remember that true freedom comes with huge responsibility!)?

As I am the image of God, my job as a human is to create a better world in co-operation with the bigger force that I call the Universe. It starts from me. Step by step. First by saving myself and from there, allowing my energy to expand further to everyone I meet. 

Oh my God! I love this! It is so powerful when you finally take the magic wand into your own hands. I am the creator! I am the one I used to prayed for. I am. And this, this is freedom!
