The Beauty of Life

Recently I had a conversation with the person I am closest to. I asked him this: If you could, right now, step out of this 3D existence and into a life where you could immediately manifest anything you wanted and live without polarity, would you do it?

He said no, he wouldn't. And his life is far from perfect.

I said I wouldn't either, because I would miss the beauty of life.

The following is an excerpt from a recent Tobias channeling, but it speaks so strongly to me I thought I would post it separately:

The Beauty of Life

I'm allowing myself to feel the fullness of the human experience. I have to add something here that I want all of you to feel this next month. There is nothing like the beauty of the human reality, of Earth, of this three-dimensional existence. Now I know some of you think to yourselves, "But the beauty is in the heavens." Oh, and it is beautiful. You say "The beauty is in the crystalline realms." Oh, and they are unimaginable. You say "The beauty is in the ability to be free of the body," and that is true to a degree. But true beauty in the fullest way - a beauty that encompasses physical reality, beauty that takes all of your senses into play and involves them, a beauty that is felt deep within the soul and can be experienced in a physical body - can only be found on Earth. The truest beauty that I have ever experienced in all of my lifetimes on Earth and all of my times between lifetimes, I can truly say that the beauty is found on Earth.

Earth has its challenges and difficulties, but these are illusions, dear friends. They are just illusions. Duality is just an illusion. Fear is an illusion that plays into the grand beauty of life. The beauty is right here. So many humans are missing it. They have blinders on. They have gotten themselves in such a goal mentality. They're always looking somewhere else for the beauty and always assuming that it is somewhere else. But I can tell you right now that true beauty in the greatest form found anywhere in the universe is right here.

I know, on your difficult days it seems like anything but beauty. It seems like stress and fear and uncertainty. But imagine if you can stop trying to push those things away as well - stop trying to run from fear, stop trying to control the old human aspect, stop worrying about what's going to happen - you're going to begin to appreciate a true beauty of life. Stop worrying about things like death. Death, as we talked about in our last Shoud together, death is beauty in itself. The experience of honoring and thanking the physical body in your last moments, the experience of remembering everything you've done without judgment or without blame, that is beauty. And the release of the physical back into your more spiritual state, what a beauty.

But what compels the spirit to keep coming back here to Earth? What compels it to have lifetime after lifetime? Some would like to say "karma." Some would like to think it's because there are deeds unfinished. Some would like to get you into believing that you have to right the wrongs of the past. But what if there were no wrongs? What if there was just beauty? That is what compels a soul to create another incarnation and another experience. That and that alone.

It is time to get off of this old concept of sin and karma, retribution. It is time to once again accept the total beauty of life.
