Are you Alive?

Are you alive?
Have you ever considered the fact that you are having the experience of life because you are alive? It may sound very silly, but is it? The experience of life is dependent on being alive. The further question then is: are you experiencing life, yet not aware that you are alive?
Isn't it amazing that we can journey through all the experiences of life and still not realize that we are the cause of all life experience? In other words, what we seek is what we are. We cannot have a life experience unless we are already alive.
The same is true if we change the word 'life' to 'Source'. We cannot have a Sourceful experience unless we are already Source. If we are seeking Sourceful experience as something that we do not have, we are deluded. Just as there is no experience of life without being alive, likewise there is no experience of Source without being Source.
How is it possible to separate ourselves from ourselves? The answer is pretense. We can only pretend to seek what we do not have. Yet our pretense can become habitual and its repetition can make it appear real. We lose ourselves in the seeking of what we already have and construe illusion as truth. Lost in our fantasy, we have life experience without being alive.
All fantasies are embellished and exaggerated. The fantasy of Source/life is no exception. Fantasies are usually so exaggerated that they are impossible to experience. Consider enlightenment. If you are seeking enlightenment, you are lost in a fantasy. The degree of its exaggeration is the degree to which you will never experience it. Remember, that which you seek you will never have. In the same understanding, are you fantasizing wholeness? How exaggerated is your holistic fantasy? Are you aware that your holistic fantasy precludes you're having holistic experience?
This week, bring focus to your life challenges. Are you escaping into fantasy, or are you journeying them to truth? In this regard, what choice are you making in this moment? Why not endeavor to walk where your feet are and be as you truly are? Why not be Source having a Sourceful experience? Again, why not be alive while having a life experience? Remember, what you seek is what you already are. Source is the experience of where your feet are right now. All else is fantasy, illusion and plain ole delusion. Here's to the walking dead... may they live again. Yes!
