You’ve Never Experienced Life Quite Like This and Never Will Again

This is the most powerful sentence I read today

“Your life is a journey from unconsciousness to higher consciousness. Michael Beckwith, minister of the Agape Church, describes this evolution in four phases. I added two more, ‘Life happens in you’ and ‘Life happens for you’, and call them the ‘Six Phases of Higher Consciousness’.

Life happens to you.

Life happens by you.

Life happens in you.

Life happens for you.

Life happens through you.

Life is you.

Remember that the most powerful thing you can do for your healing is to have your attention and your experience together, even as you are reading this and no matter what it brings up for you.

(…) Allow whatever is here to be here. You have never experienced Life quite like this and never will again. This moment in your life is unique, and it is okay exactly as it is.”

Mary O’Malley’s book, What’s in the Way is the Way, Chapter 9.

This passage is the most powerful one I’ve read today, and I know I’m repeating myself.

The line, ‘You have never experienced Life quite like this and never will again’, truly blew my mind. It’s remarkable how we often need someone else to articulate truths we’ve subconsciously known all along. It’s as if these truths need to be vividly presented to us, almost as if thrown in our faces, for us to see them.

It should be easier to notice them, don’t you think?

I do.

But the truth is, if it were easy, then none of us would be here. The reality is, most of us are just trying to make it through the day without burning dinner or forgetting our passwords.

It’s not easy. It’s as difficult as solving a Rubik’s Cube in the dark.

Mary O’Malley in “What’s in the Way is the Way” talks about these shifts in perspective as ‘phases of higher consciousness’.

Life happens to you

Everything seems to be conspiring against you. You missed the bus, your coffee tastes like bitter regret, and you’re pretty sure the universe is plotting your downfall. You’re always the one getting rained on, even when everyone else is enjoying the sunshine.

Life happens by you

You’re determined to fix every single thing that crosses your path. You’re the Master of Control. You’ve got everything figured out. You’ve just cracked the code, not just for your life, but for others’, even though some days you can’t even decide what to have for breakfast.

At some point, life will make it pretty clear that it isn’t a software that runs on command. And even if it were, you’re not the only coder — it’s a vast script.

Life happens in you

This is the plot twist. You realize that the world isn’t just a series of random events happening to you; it’s a reflection of your own inner workings.

Your thoughts, your perceptions were creating a reality that was yours and yours alone. You’ve just found out you’ve been wearing colored glasses all along and that the world was actually in different hues than you had perceived all this time.

The game has a secret level where everything is actually… an illusion? Mind. Blown. It seems your brain is a reality-distorting machine. It’s not the events, but how you see them that shapes your world.

So, you’ve just found out Santa isn’t real — a tough pill to swallow but ultimately enlightening.

Life happens for you

This is when you start discerning the pleasing sounds in the dissonance. Sure, you missed the bus, but then you wouldn’t have found that five-dollar bill on the sidewalk. You start to see the hidden connections that underlie every single event. You start to understand the rules of the game. You’re getting it.

Life happens through you

You’re a conduit for something greater. You’re not just living life; you’re an instrument through which life expresses itself. You flow.

You realize you’re not just a player in the game; you’re part of the game’s code.

You’re an experience in progress. It’s those moments when you’re so engrossed in what you’re doing, time becomes irrelevant.

Whatever you’re doing, you’re a channel, right now.

Life is you

The grand finale. You are the game.

It’s deep, a little overwhelming, and honestly, a bit hard to wrap your head around on a Monday morning.

Not much else to add.

The truth is, the journey isn’t neat or predictable. One minute, you’re the master of your fate, you just let go; the next, you’re googling ‘why does my dog stare at me’ — I just did. Seriously, he can’t take his eyes off me.

In this game, I get to divise my ‘yellow path’ when I’m doing things that make me forget I’m even playing — like when I’m lost in a good book, feeling the crunch of leaves on a hike, or capturing a great shot in my camera.

It’s in these moments that I sense a shift, and catch a glimpse of those higher levels. Only a glimpe. But then, life happens…again.

All. Those. Setbacks. It’s tempting to view them as obstacles on our path to higher consciousness. But what if they are, in fact, integral to that journey? The moments of frustration when things don’t go our way, the times we fail and have to pick ourselves up — these experiences ground us.
