“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”

― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

I am wondering whether it is only me or does everyone feel like they have this nasty little creature at times and even become it, as if it is here in the background constantly…?

The best analogy ( Hello all Harry Potter lovers) I can give is the Voldemort’s horcrux that lives within Harry Potter and has the shape of that nasty little creature that can be seen in the scene after Harry is killed by Voldemort on the train station with Dumbledore in the Second part of the Seventh part of the Harry Potter series.

Actually, if you see closely you will notice that Harry throughout the whole series feels like he is possessed by something bad inside him and is haunted by the idea that he is evil, just like Voldemort. He doubts his heart and is challenged for it by external happenings in almost every part- the fact that he can also speak with snakes as can Voldemort, which is not normal for other wizards; the fact that the sorting hat tells him he could be a great wizard if put in the house Slytherin( which is a more villain-like house) and other similar events.

In the first part what Harry fears the most is to be put in the house Slytherin.  Yet he asks the hat to not be but in Slytherin- this is a perfect allegory that we, as conscious human beings, have a FREE WILL and it is up to us WHAT and WHO we CHOOSE to BE. It is Harry’s CONSCIOUS CHOICE to NOT be put in Slytherin house. So he gets put in the Griffyndor house.

The other great insight Harry has that he is connected with Voldemort somehow is in the fifth part when he starts having visions of Voldemort, dreams and realizes he is somehow connected with him. Great doubt, discouragement and fear arises inside him that he is evil and bad, just like Voldemort.

The whole thing represents the inner battle in us as humans- LOVE vs FEAR- do we choose COURAGE, LOVE, CONNECTION, SOURCE, TRUTH or COWARDACE, FEAR, DISCONNECTION, CANCEL, LIES? The choice is ours, my friends. WE CHOOSE who we are or not.

It is to be done with having COURAGE to look at ourselves, discover truth and having courage to follow it and take conscious actions in accordance with it. Maybe this is our purpose here. To grow and evolve by choosing truth and love despite having fear to do so. And the circumstances around- people, situations, the current world condition- all of that is just energy based in either fear or love that take up on a physical form in order for us to choose right( love) from wrong( fear), so that we build that creative energy of love- HIGHER LOVE. Ultimately, it is just a game in which we play a part.

BUT. This game is very important. It is very much important what we do, what we choose to do and what roles we are gonna play.

In this 3D reality we function through different roles and we take up a form of a “ character”. Whether those characters are in alignment with our Higher selves and truth is portrayed by how authentic and how well we feel about what we do. They show us what we are on a higher level. We can usually feel if something smells and is not our truest most righteous expression. The fake characters and roles that we play are the ones that bring us anxiety and depression. They show us what we are not. They show us that it is OUR CHOICE, FREE WILLED CHOICE– whether we are going to choose to be that character or not; based on whether that character is in alignment with our authenticity- does it bring change, is it moral, does it make us feel high, beautiful- ARE WE GROWING, based on the character that we are playing???

However though, ultimately,  we are none of those characters. We just are, consciousness, being, energy.  

SO, WHO AND WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE TO BE TODAY?
