Are we co-creators of our own destiny? What´s the extent?-A biblical look
72Before I delve deeply into what co-creation is, I will write a foreword because I know people are really sensitive regarding beliefs and religion. I come here with all the possible love I can share with all of you brothers and sisters, and have

You would say: “Why so harsh?” Well, have you noticed that the main reason for great wars have been a disagreement in a particular faith or belief? You would think that all Muslims are violent and have no love for God? That all Muslims are terrorists? Would you dare to label an atheist as a son of the devil? Why would groups that price themselves as being Christian dare say The Bible is the only word of God?
Are believers ofBuddha, Shinto, Brahma, Allah following the wrong path? According to whom? What the world criticizes about fundamentalists as a horror began during inquisition times. What Holy book suggests that a different believer must be burned at the stake, as many were?

Do you think the Law of Attraction was given to us as a Divine right?
See results without votingHow do we link all this information with co-creation and the Law of Attraction?
In some previous hubs, I dissected the Law of Attraction and we concluded that it is made up of several laws that act interconnected. Let’s take the repeated phrase in different versions of Christ’s words: "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High” as a beginning.
We ALL, read me well: ALL are children of God for we were made to His Image and Likeness. So that makes, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad, Gandhi, and many Spiritual great ones, our big brothers. We ALL have the Christ concept within our hearts, residing in our Souls and reflected by our Spirit.
We are NOT these “housings” known as bodies; they are just a vehicle where our souls and spirits can interact with the physical world. The ego is a human trait, it is born within the use of the Universal Law of Mentalism: “As we think, so we are”.
Personality (ego) gets in the way of our Spiritual evolution, but it is through the dominion and control of personality that we can surrender to our Higher Self, Inner Christ, Our Image and Likeness of our Creator. Do not be troubled by words and concepts, my brothers and sisters, this is far deeper than words.
As I said once in another hub: “Whether you believe in them or not, Universal Laws work all the same” The Keyword is CHOICE! You choose and assume responsibilities and consequences of your choices. That is how you use Free will.
Free will is not permission from above to fancy whimsical attitudes; it is a very humongous responsibility.
The Great Architect, The Designer, The Creator, Brahma, The Lord, God, no matter what you name Him/Her, Yes! Don’t you go thinking God is a man or a male, If you do, you are so wrong you wouldn’t believe! God is Mother-Father! He/She is The First and Only True Cause of everything that is, that exists. We have been led to believe that God is a He, Sorry but that is a wrong concept!
Without prejudice-Listen till the end
Do not try either to understand with your human mind (which is finite) the infinite. Great thinkers and Masters all over the planet, during different ages or eras, were humble, served humbly and were selfless.
So you would ask me: “Why co-creators? Why not creators?” Because we Can create thanks to our god-like heir. Can a dog materialize on its own a bone it wishes to have? No, it can’t. Animals are intelligent, intuitive, but they cannot control thoughts and claim to manifest anything. They learn to survive by instinct or taught by their owners.
When Christ said: "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High” It was not a metaphor! He meant it! But humans have chosen to self-debase themselves thinking they cannot be godlike. Let me put it to you this way: A drop of water from the ocean is not the ocean, but it contains all its essence. A human Soul and Spirit is not GOD HIMSELF/HERSELF but they contain all of God’s essence. You follow me now?
What powers do we have to create? ALL of them. God gave us the magick formula! They are the Universal Laws, which have been clustered into the famous Law of Attraction. Now, If we have that power, why can’t we manifest right away? Because Laws cannot be bent. Everything has a perfect moment and time to happen. Nothing happens before its time.
God’sintentis always good, is man’s intent always good? You see how we Co-create? When we harmonize with God’s intent. If we were ALL made to HIS/HER
Image and Likeness, doesn’t your pain hurt me too? Doesn’t your joy also make me happy? Envy, selfishness, hatred, racism, arrogance, deceit are not Godly traits. They are EGO traits.
This brings me to the other important part of Creating and Co-creating:
“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you” This is the greatest omission of religious viewpoints and differences in opinion and interpretations: The Bible spoke of the Verb. The Verb is TO BE in first person: “I AM THAT I AM” Everything you decree using the Verb has power, immense power, God’s Power.
You think that saying “I AM wealthy” followed by a true selfless and heartfelt intent manifests because of human power? Of course not! You are using God’s power to co-create what you want in your life. People have been cautious when discussing this particular theme, when they say: “the Universe does this, the Universe does that”
Tell me: Who created the Universe? God did! So the Universe is an extension of the ubiquitous, all pervading and all encompassing essence of God. When we say things like “I AM bad, I AM mean, I AM poor”, you are putting the Law of Attraction in motion and, worse, you are using God’s name in vain. Did you think that by saying, “I swear to God while consciously lying” is a misuse of God’s name? Of course not! You are getting in trouble yourself and God has nothing to do with it. Why? Because you chose!
To make a quick wrap up I’ll say:
· World English Bible “I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High” Remember that: NOBODY can’t tell you otherwise. Use that gift humbly. Every time you harm someone else, it will return to hurt you, because you have harmed yourself.
· American King James Version: “And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.” Beware of how you use the VERB, it will turn into flesh
· God’s intent is always good, is man’s intent always good? You see how we Co-create? When we harmonize with God’s intent.
· Everything has a perfect moment and time to happen. Nothing happens before its time.
· Envy, selfishness, hatred, racism, arrogance, deceit are not Godly traits. They are EGO traits.
· Whether you believe in them or not, Universal Laws work all the same. The Keyword is CHOICE!
· Do not go quickly passing judgment as you finish reading this. Just ponder over.
With all the love that dwells within my soul, spirit and human heart for each and everyone of you,
Warmest regards and infinite eternal blessings, Brothers and Sisters,
I LOVE YOU ALL,
Yours in GOD,
Al

Dear Al,
Another gem of a hub. I am not sure why some people think that only their religion/beliefs are the true path, and seek to rubbish everything else there is. Its an arrogant approach.
God didn't create religions, humans did! God didn't ask humans to fight wars on his behalf, humans choose to take up that task on his behalf. How many atrocities have been committed in God's name through the ages? And, what a waste it has been!! Precious human lives being lost!!
Its sad it continues to this day and age. Tolerance is key. Learn to respect other ways, other ways of looking at things. Seeking uniformity reeks of dictatorship and gives rise to conflicts.
Celebrate the diversity and we'd all celebrate the different colors (religions) around us.
Thanks again Al for this wonderful hub. Great work as always :)
This is an excellent hub. Surrendering to your higher self brings joy and direction in your life.
I like the way you used all the scripture to explain your point. Great hub.
Al, You've done a really great job on this hub. I for one, generally steer away from any hubs that are religious in nature, beliefs or speak of God etc.
Without going into much detail let me just say that. I have been judged harshly and condemned for not following cult leader's and beliefs held by my mother. These cults and various beliefs have changed like the weather through out my life and I have been tormented by her toxicity.
Through many years of healing, I have reopened my heart and believe that God lives within each and everyone of us.
For myself this comes through my knowing, intuition, higher self and all of nature. As I believe that we are one with the Universe and are all connected on a soul level.
My relationship with God is one that I hold close to my heart and do not share openly with too many people. I take what feels right and am open to many different fundamentals of Buddhism as well as other beliefs.
Thanks so much for writing such an open minded and non judgmental hub on this topic. I do appreciate your efforts. You did an amazing job.
P.S. I did see your email, just haven't had a chance to respond. I have been out straight on a few projects. Hope to get back to HubPages on a more regular basis.

Very deep and profound. Enjoyed this. You go boy! Hahahaha.
As my profile in Hubpages indicates, I embrace personal growth and spirituality without any affilations to a religious group. I see the face of God in everyone! Thanks for writing this honest hub, it refreshes my memory on how the LOA works.
Thumbs up, amigo!
I have also been judged harshly and wrong because I will not follow some's religious doctrine or dogma. There are rumors about me all over Hub Pages and some will downright tell me that I am Evil and Satan because they can't read their own bibles. I have written several hubs on the subject matter that you have presented in your article. Thank you for taking a different approach to it.
My dear-- you have a wonderful talent for keeping peace and showing it, do not worry if others like to debate they always do. You have a talent for presenting several different sides and best of all making them work. That is a gem of a talent that I myself do not have.
Keep on writing, and you will see so much success.
great great god blessed write thanks much god speed
Great Hub. What is tripping me out, is I just posted one earlier today about, how the Bible actually says that we are 'gods' (Angels unaware); and I used one of the exact Scriptures you did! I was approaching it from a different angle, but all truth is paralel, at least tonight. Sychronicity rules! Take care, adepti of the universe. Joshua Kell,
It is true, we are co creators. I appreciate the depth and insight of your writing. We all have work here, and your take on free will was great. It is an awesome responsibility.
Namaste.
“Whether you believe in them or not, Universal Laws work all the same” The Keyword is CHOICE! You choose and assume responsibilities and consequences of your choices. That is how you use Free will.
I agre with you Mystique and as usual your writing is full of depth, I love the video I am that I am. Thank you, Maita
What a profound and beautifully written hub!
I like your analogy of the ocean. I also love the way you explained the universal laws and things happening on God's time.
Thank you for presenting it this way!
God bless!
The ocean analogy was clever but please don't lead people astray. Unlike your ocean analogy we do not make up what God is, God was before we ever were. Without us God would still be. Wothou all it's "drops" the ocean wouldn't. We are nothing God everything. Those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
'Who created the Universe? God did!'
If God created the universe it would be like 'Him' but everything in the universe dies. therefore God did not create the universe unless you believe God will one day die (?) We created the universe. The Universe is a projection of the thought of separation from God. That is why everything in the Universe apears separate and awaits death.
"World English Bible “I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High”
That is Psalm 82:6
Mystique,
you've taken that scripture out of context to prove your point about co-creators.
Human beings are not “gods” or “little gods.” We are not God. God is God, and we who know Christ are His children. Psalm 82:1 says, “God presides in the great assembly; he gives judgment among the gods.” It is clear from the next three verses that the word “gods” refers to magistrates, judges, and other people who hold positions of authority and rule. Calling a human magistrate a “god” indicates three things: 1) he has authority over other human beings, 2) the power he wields as a civil authority is to be feared, and 3) he derives his power and authority from God Himself, who is pictured as judging the whole earth in verse 8.
The whole point of Psalm 82 is that earthly judges must act with impartiality and true justice, because even judges must stand someday before the Judge. Verses 6 and 7 warn human magistrates that they, too, must be judged: “I said, `You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.' But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler.” This passage is saying that God has appointed men to positions of authority in which they are considered as gods among the people. They are to remember that, even though they are representing God in this world, they are mortal and must eventually give an account to God for how they used that authority.
