A Spiritual Invitation to Go Within
|
When you believe that you are one with all things you can go within and tap into your source. This connecting with your source allows you to see the really, really big picture. You can actually go above the forest and see from a more expansive vantage point. You can use these observations to restore the love and harmony that is your true nature in the events and circumstances that surround you in the world of the relative. In order to do this connecting with your source, you need to be awake and aware of who you really are enough so that you can remember that you are one with God. Reconnecting with your source allows you to have the best of both worlds. You get to further your purpose of having the experiences on earth that you only know of as concepts in the world of the absolute. You do that now in an unconscious state and have trouble interpreting the data most of the time. When you reconnect with your source and start to remember who you really are you begin to tap into your all-knowingness. As you remember more and more you are able to use the knowledge you possess from the absolute world to create exactly what it is that you desire in the relative world. Wow! Think about that as a concept. You are able to create your life as you intended it to be. You are creating your life now but you do it unconsciously and can't understand why your intent (if you have conscious intentions) and the things that show up are not in alignment. That is, if you even think about the connection between your intent and your reality at all. Most of us just wake up each day and see what life throws at us without thinking too much about the whys and wherefores of it. The key is to wake up and begin living within the paradigm of unity and oneness. You can then understand the connection between what your intensions are and your ability to create them into your reality. You begin to actually know that you possess the same creative abilities as your source, and are aware of the messages the universe sends you. You begin to understand that you are living in the world of the relative but you are not of the world of the relative. Who you really are is more than the body that has served you well but you have mistreated incessantly. Who you really are is more than this mind that you fill with senseless information from a box with moving pictures and words that have no meaning. Who you really are is a three part being made up of mind, body and spirit. Once you stop ignoring the influence of the soul and start using the tools that are available to you at all times, (tools like unconditional love and conscious creation) through the soul connection, do you realize that you need not be a sleepwalker, but you can walk in awareness and truly create the life that you have envisioned for yourself. Many people connect to their source by the process of meditation because it fulfills a lot of the requirements we stated earlier as a means to go within. When you meditate you sit quietly and eliminate the noise and distractions of the outside world. This practice alone has a calming effect on your overall being. We are inundated almost every moment of every day by the sights and sounds of our environment. We are under a constant barrage of information and messages that we assign to the mind to filter and sort out to determine if the information is useful or not (and most of the time it is not). Blaise Pascal, a famous seventeenth century mathematician and philosopher, said it so eloquently when he stated “All of man's troubles stem from his inability to sit quietly in a room alone." As you eliminate the noise and distractions that are external, you begin to experience the silence that is internal but first you have to quiet your thoughts. What you find when you close your eyes to the outside world is that your head is filled with thoughts. As the parade of continuous thought travels through your head visual images emanate from your third eye (that eye that is located between and behind your eyes that shows us visual imagery when we call upon it). Even though you eliminate the external noise, internal thoughts and images still occupy your mind. The key is to stay within the silence and let the thoughts come and go. There is nothing you can do to stop them. Eventually you will find that the mind tires of screening these thoughts for you because you are not responding to them. After a while (which could take several sessions) the mind quiets and you are able to sit in silence. An occasional thought may pass through your head but now you dismiss the thought (don't think about the thought) and concentrate on the silence. You stay in the silence and begin to tune into the source of all that is. It is within you. It is you. And it is God. You and God are one.
