We feel we need to go through lesson after lesson after life lesson in order to grow, or to gain insights so we can become more conscious. Each lesson takes us closer to the insights that we feel we need to learn to get to that next step. However, we have forgotten that we already have all of that insight, and knowledge within us already. It isn’t a matter of going through lesson after lesson. It is just a matter of allowing ourselves to remember what it is that we have forgotten. We don’t require life lessons when all we need to do is allow our intuition to come online and connect us with that inner knowledge.
The energy it takes to allow is much lower than the energy to learn, especially if it is done through going through experience after experience after experience.
Right on! This makes me think of something I am just finishing reading – James Arthur Ray’s newest book, Harmonic Wealth. I had to share this concept he has that I think makes so much sense: LIVING FROM THE OUTCOME (Page 322). James says that most people live toward the outcome, meaning you are living like you don’t have it yet. He says you should shift your thinking so that you are LIVING FROM THE OUTCOME and thus sending out the energy to the world that you already have it. Think, feel, and act like you’ve already made it and the universe will say “Your wish is my command.”
For me, that meant acting like I was more valuable as an individual – acting like a $500 a day earner instead of a $150 a day earner (no more reality TV marathons!) and acting like a thin and fit woman instead of a slightly overweight and sometimes lazy woman (goodbye Ranch Doritos!). Honestly, in the two weeks since I put down the book, things have started changing. And I think it really comes down to that one concept.

I love this idea. We think our deepest belief is that we are nothing (unworthy, not good enough, unlovable, undeserving…), and yet since we are able to discover that we are truly love, we must just be remembering—it must have been our deepest belief and knowing all along. And yet it seems we still have to do the work, because the forgetting is so deep in our bodies, and we have left our spirit scattered throughout time, in all the places we got hurt and couldn’t move forward. It seems we do need to go through the layers, that there is not shortcut. Every time i think I’m awake, i wake up! 🙂
I read similar article also named Just Remember What We Have Forgotten, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me
