The Power of Story – How to Co-Create with the Universe #3

Hi sweet souls and welcome back! This is the episode that just might get me excommunicated. Here, I dive into what it means to be a conscious curator of your life—an intentional, mindful author of your reality, weaving together the threads of your experience with intention, mindfulness, and gratitude.I explore how the stories we tell ourselves about the things we experience—the dramas, as well as the successes—can either bring more suffering or peace. We have the power to choose the narratives we create about our lives. Isn’t that empowering?I also reflect on how not getting what we want can actually be a gift. As children of the universe, we can never fully see the bigger picture. We often can’t even imagine what the universe has in store for us. Sometimes, the very things we think we need or desire might not be part of the plan, but that doesn’t mean we’re being punished. It could be the universe guiding us toward something far more expansive than we can see in the moment.The stories we tell ourselves about who we are, our experiences, and our relationship to the world go straight to the core of our being, shaping our sense of connection—or disconnection—with everything around us. These stories form our beliefs, and our beliefs create our reality. But the first story many of us are told—the origin story of humanity, love, God, and our place in it all—is one of sin, punishment, exile, and condemnation. Deep down, many of us carry this feeling of lack, this fear of wrath, and the belief that questioning or stepping outside the lines will lead to punishment. This keeps us small and stuck.But what if we began to rewrite those stories?In this episode, I offer a reimagined perspective on the story of Adam and Eve—a view that might get me excommunicated, but one that rings with truth through every cell of my being. This version resonates deeply with my experience of the One, of the Beloved, of universal Source, energy, and love. It invites more compassion and explores how contradiction is the gateway to free will. I believe that a benevolent God was always waiting for us to make the choice that would take us on a journey that would last through the ages—from the illusion of separation back to unity with the One.
