Limitation is an illusion that requires the coordinated intelligence of an entire world to convince you that it is real.
Even with all of the things in your life that indicate you are trapped in some form of limitation – the amount of money you don’t have, the amount of time you don’t have, or the relationship you want but don’t have… – if you look closer you will see that your own Soul is the one signing off on that limitation, for now, only to prepare you for receiving so much more than the surface level of those things you feel you don’t have enough of. The only reason an infinite Soul would even tolerate allowing you to experience limitation is because limitation is the very essence of this unique Reality.
The fact that you exist and are aware of your existence proves that you are a manifestation of Consciousness. Consciousness – The “I Am” that You are – is infinite in every way, shape, and form. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t be here reading this article, capable of discerning the concepts and ideas of another person. And this life that you are experiencing right now is a spiritual creation, an experiment with limitation. If the essence of who you are is infinite, then limitation is the absolute and perfect inversion of that infinteness.
We live in a world that literally worships and deifies limitation. Because those who overcome some form of limitation will tell themselves “I am so grateful to have x, y, and z, because I know that there are people who don’t have x, y, and z”. It’s their belief in the supremacy of limitation that makes them grateful for having their most basic needs met. Those needs that would have been met regardless of whatever worldly accomplishments earned them the security of receiving x, y, and z.
You might even blame yourself for some form of limitation that you are experiencing, but the paradox is that you wouldn’t be experiencing that limitation if you weren’t able to handle it. For example, If someone would go absolutely mad if they lost their job, because they wouldn’t be able to handle the temporary insecurity of not having an income, their Soul would know better than to put them through that, and instead allow another form of limitation to be imposed on them, such as depression from an unsatisfying work life, or perhaps having to tolerate the incivility of the person who employs them.
Limitation can only exist when your awareness is firmly rooted in sequential time. In sequential time you will always be counting down the number of hours you have left until you have to return to work, or the number of days you have until it is finally the end of your work week. Sequential time is where you create hypothetical scenarios that might never happen, and therefore invest your time and energy in some idea that isn’t real outside of your mind. Sequential time seems real, but being in a flow state focused solely on the present moment is where reality manifests.
For example, you didn’t have that epic realization or idea at 8pm last night, you had it in this moment, where if you took out your phone and checked the time/date it would say something a little different (8pm last night) than it does right now – in this same moment.
Outside of sequential time you have everything that you will ever need. If you are poor, in debt, depressed, lonely, etc. it doesn’t take anything away from this moment. You have just as much access to this moment has someone who opposingly “has it all”.
Limitations become what they are – illusory ideas – when you choose to simply exist in this moment despite all of the limitations that you have “on paper” or in your own mind. The key is to align your mind with the fact that your Highest Intelligence has absolute control over your life experience.
So, accordingly, everything that you are experiencing right now is the way it is because it absolutely needs to be. You’re continually working toward a higher baseline of existence, and that means going through wonderful uplifting highs, and also necessary lows that force you to expand and become a more intelligent person, capable of remembering everything is always fine, no matter how everything appears to you right now.
Paradoxically, learning to align your mind and unique human spirit with this moment is the beginning of actually making progress on those illusory things on paper that tell you that you lack something.
In fact, if you reflect on the entirety of your life up until this moment, you will realize that even without using any “spiritual modalities” you managed to manifest precisely what you needed at precisely the right time, regardless of how vigorously you tried to negotiate with sequential time. Despite how intensely you worried about something not working out the way it needed to (and how it may have even worked out better than it needed to).
You got that job right before you would have gone broke, you found your romantic partner at the peak of your lonliness, you overcame your illness after learning a valuable lesson about the importance of life, etc. For every person it is different, but the theme is the same – You will always get what you need at precisely the right time.
You might as well just enjoy the present moment and trust that this will never change, despite how convincing this reality makes limitation seem. And remember that you will always get what you need at precisely the right time. If you root yourself deeply enough into the present moment, you will see how other people deify the idea of limitation, as if they could never trust themselves enough to, only for a moment, stop negotiating with sequential time.
You can’t force the world to give you some sense of security. You must find security in fact that the part of you that exists outside of this world has all of your deepest needs met. That part of you knows what and when you will need something before you become aware of it.
It’s possible to overcome limitation without changing any aspect of your life situation, and to see the illusion of limitation for what it is, but that doesn’t mean the conditions of the external world will change in your favor (right away) or conceptually and openly agree with what you are now beginning to understand. In fact, the illusion of limitation will probably work overtime to assert its supremacy and to test your faith.
It’s important to understand that you have a Soul that exists outside of space and sequential time, outside of any form of limitation. This Soul is who you really are and is the ultimate intelligence that guides your life experience. It’s important to understand that your Soul is what signs off on your limitation, knowing that you might actually need or benefit from that limitation in one way or another.
Limitation being an illusion doesn’t mean that you will be able to afford that $1 million house or fancy car, or get into that relationship you have been waiting for right away. It just means that you have a Higher Intelligence that is intelligently negotiating with the world, working to ensure the conditions are right before you receive the worldly things that you desire.
If you are willing to just be a little more patient with this Higher Intelligence, Your Soul, you will clearly see that right now you have everything you need for this moment and for where you are headed. So any limitation you experience right now is precisely what you need. You can expedite the process of clearing limitation by genuinely trying to be good, and by trying your best to not impose limitation on other people whenever reasonably possible.
