It all Works out in the Final Reel | Steve Beckow

(Golden Age of Gaia)

I was just chatting with a friend when a sentence came up for me, to be said:

“It all works out in the final reel.”

I have to give you the background to it to understand its significance because, today, 37 years later, I just got it.

On Friday, March 13, 1987, while I was driving to work, I had a vision of the purpose of life for an individual soul.  How that all came about I described elsewhere. (1)

I saw it emerge from a golden Sun, which, because I was drenched in bliss, I instinctively knew to be Father God. It went on a cricular journey from God to God, through the realm of the Mother (mater, matter) and then reuniting with the Father. When it was over, I heard the words, “The purpose of life is enlightenment.”

Oooooooooo-Kay! Drowned in bliss as I was, I knew I’d just been given information whose value was beyond estimation. I’d just been told the purpose of life.

Once we know the purpose of anything, we have a starting point for building our relationship with it, right? Life? Its purpose is enlightenment. So what can I do to bring enlightenment about, in me and others?

Let me pick up again where I left off. After the vision was over, and it took about eight seconds to run through, I looked to the left and right. I knew this area of Vancouver like the back of my hand (I’d grown up in it) and I knew I hadn’t moved an inch in those eight seconds. I was outside of time.

I pulled up at the next stoplight and looked over at the driver on my left. He had a worried look on his face and I wanted to shout out to him:

“It all works out in the final reel.”

Today, 37 years later, I just got the significance of that statement.

It does all work out in the final reel. Not only that, but it gets better and better along the way.

Surely to heaven, that’s the soundest basis for optimism I’ve ever heard of, is it not?

How could I, of anyone, be pessimistic when I’ve had it burned into me that it does all work out in the final reel? We really are headed for perfection.

I surmise that the speed at which we accomplish that goal is determined by the degree of openness to discovering who we really are. (2)

To be steering towards enlightenment is to be giving oneself the prospect of a better and better future. One is aligned with the purpose of life and there’s no downside to our progress in aligning with and achieving it.

Don’t tell me it’s God’s purpose, and not yours. You ARE God, are you not? Is there anything that isn’t God? The One without a second?

Meeting God in a moment of our enlightenment is the reason why illusory forms were themselves created.

Expand into that purpose. Align with the journey of enlightenment. What’s to lose? Only our chains.

It all works out in the final reel. There are very few things that I know in this world. But I do know that.
