Olivia and I watched a Care Bears movie today and I was struck with how amazing the message was and how amazing religious programming can be.
When my children were small, I would not let them watch Care Bears. I had heard that it was a New Age cartoon story to influence kids to believe in a power other than God....which in this case, was the power of caring and having happy feelings. Isn't this the message all good parents would wish their kids could hear? My kids still kid me about this: "My Mom wouldn't let us watch Care Bears because she thought it was evil."
I still can't believe I went that far into fear....fear that there was this bad power called the devil who could take over your thinking and lead you astray - even disguising himself as an angel of light (or cute bears who help others to care).
So I had a good chuckle at myself today as I watched a tremendous movie. What struck me more than the great message, was how close it lined up with the Busting Loose concept.
The main message was how important feelings are - and the care bears' mission is to help others FEEL all their feelings and express them, as this is the key to power and happiness.
I watched as the Care Bears (who live in some kind of home in the sky) came down to earth through the cloud cover and then out into the sun shine when someone had broken through the gloomy feelings and were now feeling joy.
Seems my Expanded Self planted these clues 20-30 years ago, but I didn't get them because I was afraid of the message. I was living in a simulation within a simulation. First, I thought everything was real to begin with like everyone else on the planet, and then I crafted a simulation within that where the devil held the balance of power, even though I was told that God was the ALL powerful one. I was also told that I had to tell everyone the Good News about this loving God or they would go to hell forever. Sounds like the most horrible of horrible news to me. Gosh even a child could have figured that out to be one big lie.
I dug myself down so deep in that rabbit hole, it is amazing to me today that I saw any light at the end of that dark, evil tunnel. And now I finally understand a scripture that had me mystified: Be in the world, but not of it.
I'm having fun in this simulation now, becuase I know that the person I play in this matrix is not me.....a very amazing hologram for sure, but not me. I get to play out all the contrasts of light and dark and be safe and have fun doing it.
Now that's the Good News!
