Fear of not being worthy can be seen either as a fear or a belief. As a fear it is to see oneself as not being able to not "measure up" to the ideals expected of us or what we think God or some other authority expects of us. As a belief it is simply believing we do not measure up in some way.

From a creativity perspective and robbing ourselves of our own creative ability and creative power, to believe "Oh Lord, I am unworthy," in any way, is probably the biggest lie that has ever been perpetrated by man upon man, or by our mind upon us. .It is also probably one of the greatest causes of pain and suffering on the face of this planet it how such a belief causes us to give our creative power away.

In realizing the existence of a mind body connection and the variety of accident, illness and disease we can experience, the only judgment we bring upon ourselves is not living according to our truth. In not living our truth opens the door to cause dis-ease in the body or some misfortune to come to us. To think we are not worthy in any way is opposed to the truth of our being.

We need to contemplate we are the material of Creation. If we believe the Creation Story for the Creativity Perspective, we are an aspect of the consciousness within, or behind, Creation experiencing Creation. If we prefer one of the other Creation Stories such as the Bible, we are created in the image of God. Or, there is the Creation Story were we are a spark of Divine Consciousness. If any of these Creation stories are true and our nonconscious mind knows our essence and knows this truth, to speak and live our life by saying, "Oh Lord, I am unworthy," is to lie to ourselves and creates separation within our being. To create such a separation, we should not be surprised and even the expect disease and misfortune in our life for we are giving our creative power away.

There is something to contemplate here if we believe any of these Creation Stories. If we had the opportunity to talk directly to God like we would another human being, God could clearly say, "I made you in my image and of the same material that I am. You are of me and I of you. How can you go around saying you are unworthy? I am worth, and so are you!" Do you think what is said here is too strongly said? Or maybe not strong enough? We are of Divine creation and come to earth fully prepared and worthy to live and have the physical experience of being a human being.

Additional consideration also needs to be given to the fact that it really doesn’t matter what Creation Story we believe. The question is whether or not we live the truth of our being. Anything that causes us to live other than the truth of our being robs us of our creative power. All we really need to do is to look to see what gives us life, a passion for life and/or a fullness of being then go and live what does so. In doing so, we will live the truth of our being and not rob ourselves of our creative ability and creative power.

The fact that the world is not as our mind wants it to be or expect it to be because we have not yet developed our strength of will and self confidence to become a conscious creator and make it the way we want is no reason to deny our worthiness. Does a young piano student do themselves justice when they have been playing only a week or two on the fingering exercises and then condemn themselves as unworthy because they cannot play Beethoven or Liszt and have not yet developed the ability to do so? Do we do ourselves justice by wondering why we have not created the reality we want when we have not even accepted that we can create reality? Why not sit down at the piano and try and play before we claim that we can’t play or can’t learn to play. We need to remember, we are an aspect of the consciousness within, or behind, Creation and can awaken to a full cosmic consciousness. As an aspect we are only awakening to who and what you are. We need to give ourselves some time to grow and become fully who we are.

We need to understand we have been given a free will. If we are not free to do as we choose, we would not have a free will. But there are consequences for the time and place for any action we take. We cannot confuse consequences of our actions as a judgment on our actions. We should have no guilt. We should have no shame. The only judgments there are on are action are what we ourselves place upon ourselves. For those that are familiar with the Adam and Eve story of being thrown out of the Garden of Eden, they may want to look at the topic, "Revisiting the Garden of Eden Story" and a different view on taking responsibility for our actions.

If in feeling unworthy before God because we feel guilt or shame, it needs to be understood that this guilt or shame we feel is within us and not levied on us by God because we have sinned against God. We cannot sin against God for there is no right or wrong, good or bad before God. There is just God’s Creation. Before God all is one.

There is no duality before God as there is of the earth plane. The bad that exists is the bad that we think we have done, those actions that we have judged ourselves for doing. If there is anything like "sin" in which there needs to be restitution or repayment of some type, it involves those actions that we do that are of a conscious and malicious intent to harm or injure another in some way. It is in those cases where there is full knowledge and desire to act. These actions are witnessed by the nonconscious and the physical body. If it sees there is a disconnect between our beliefs of how we think we should be acting and how we are acting, it will not be possible for our nonconscious to be an open conduit to freely manifest what we desire, because we judge ourselves as unworthy for what we have done. In doing so we block the free flow of our creative life energy we need for our creation.

However for a person who holds no belief about injuring or harming another and feels justified in doing so, they will suffer no guilt or shame. They will be free and unburdened and will have no trouble manifesting because the nonconscious has no difficulty in what we do. God does not judge our actions and will bless those who we judge good or bad exactly the same. The only question that needs to be asked about any act we do is, "Does the act cut us off from our connection with the source of the flow of our creative life energy and our understanding of the All That Is?"

We can live with our life being inconsistent with our beliefs and we will manifest dis-ease and the like, but we will not necessarily cut ourselves off from the source of our creative power. It is only if we judge ourselves in some way and deny our own truth that we feel some guilt that we cut our selves off from our power. The key here is to be able to hold our creativity sacred. Being inconsistent does not mean we do not hold our creativity sacred . But when we deny what gives us creative power or we deny our own creative ability we are robbing ourselves. We need to take responsibility for all our actions and be free to stand naked before God, fully exposed, otherwise we live the story of Adam and Eve and cast ourselves out of Heaven hear and now. Ultimately, the matter of dispensing justice, of karma, or some retribution for harm we caused to others, has no bearing on whether or not we can effectively manifest the intention we set for ourselves. It is only a matter of if we have in some way cut ourselves off from our own truth.

It does need to be noted here no permission is being given to harm another. To think we can harm another in anyway whatsoever without harming ourselves is to cut ourselves off from our own truth. We need to remember, we all are interconnected and the individual before us is only provided in the experience we desire to have at some level of our being. To deny them and the role they are playing is to deny the creator/Creation and as we can all come to see and understand, we are the creator of our experiences - all of them..
