Eternal Life or Infinite Living Release Your Limitations by Bob Reber Nature's Pathways - October 2010               There are times when all of us are approached by people that appear sincerely concerned with the eternal life of our souls.  This seems innocent enough on the surface, yet deep within me a voice is screaming in dismay over the paradox of this polite concern.              A part of this contradiction can begin to be understood through Archeology and Anthropology.  Every civilization that is known or has been discovered along with our modern religions and belief systems agree on one thing.  The soul is eternal.  Which would mean that the concept of eternity is not something that is held by any one doctrine or dogma; instead it is an idea that has been held by humanity since its conception.             Interesting too, is the fact that there is no beginning, nor is there an end to that which is eternal.  This would mean that our soul began its existence prior to this life here in the physical land of earth and our soul will continue to live long after our bodies have returned to the earth.              Wouldn’t this then infer that this physical lifetime is an expression of our eternal being?  If this is so, then we truly have nothing to fear.              There are other words that we can easily substitute for eternal.  Some of these are, timeless, perpetual, everlasting and even infinite.             Infinite.  Hmmm, now here’s a thought we can truly ponder.  How would our lives change if we were each concerned with our Infinite Life?              This would mean that we are limitless, boundless.  Wait a minute.  That would mean that we are without limit and without boundaries.  We would only be limited by infinity.             Imagine your life for a moment without the limits that we perceive others have placed on us or the boundaries that we set upon ourselves.              We all have things we would love to do ‘if only…’  And it is when we discover these ‘if only…’ that we discover the barriers, limitations and boundaries that hold us back from living the infinite life and being the infinite beings that we truly are.             Take a moment to quiet your mind.  Take a few deep breaths and look into the quiet part of you, the part of you that knows how infinite you really are.  Then breathe the knowledge of your infinite soul into your awareness.             When we do this, the troubles of the day dissipate from view.  The perceived limitations of ‘if only..’ diminish in their size, scope and hold upon our lives.  We are able to see the path to the life we want more clearly.  We begin to break free from the bindings that are holding us back.             For me, I had limitations and perceived boundaries that were holding me in a ‘day job’ that no longer fit with the rest of my life.  The passion for the job had run out long ago and getting started on a weekday morning was a demanding chore.  It was only the obligation, responsibility and my conscience that kept me going.             Making a career change seemed a daunting task and even then my vision as to ‘what’ I could be a part of was limited by the bindings of my perception.  I was once again resigning myself to an eternal life of doing what no longer resonated with who I am.             Slowly I began changing my thinking, understanding that I am an infinite being that is boundless, limitless and able to manifest a different life.  One by one the limiting thoughts and perceived boundaries began to reveal themselves and as they came to mind I was able to change them.              Before I knew it, a career opportunity presented itself that fits with who I am and who I’m becoming.  The skills I’ve learned in the past will serve me well, the passion has returned and the potential is infinite.  Even more extraordinary is that I wasn’t looking for a job when this opportunity came along.             My life experiences make me wonder about the sincere concern those approaching me truly have about my eternal life.  However, for now I much more enjoy living the infinite life, so, why don’t you begin living yours?
