Many view life as a puzzle that we must struggle to solve. This week I had a realization that all of CREATION appears as a puzzle to us because of our limited viewpoint, that our Higher Self is fully aware of all aspects of our puzzle and guides us perfectly to our awareness of its solution.

It became clear that we are working on many aspects of our individual life puzzles at any given time, but that we direct our attention to specific areas at different periods in our life. For example, one period will be devoted to solving money issues, another to relationship issues, another to trust, and so on.

It was also clear that all parts of our puzzle are inter-related to provide a complete picture, and that pieces that fit into one area also provide clues to the missing parts in another. Further, as we are all related, if we look at others' partially completed life-puzzles, we find that they may have solved areas that we are still struggling with. If we choose to cooperate, we can obtain help from their experience and help them solve those areas that are clear to us.

As the understanding grew, I also realized that the puzzle is multi-dimensional, that solutions occur at higher levels that are also related horizontally and vertically in the three-dimensional plane, so that past solutions in one area also provide future clues in another.

Finally, I realized that the puzzle pieces were not predetermined, not already stamped and colored, but that we were creating our own beautiful new expressions of life, in a never-ending skein of Love, eternally growing into the fullness of God.
