Spiritual Growth Requires Using Our Non-Physical Senses
|
So if God is a process, and if we are spirit children of God who were created in the image and likeness of God, then we must be a process also. And just because we voluntarily agreed to forget about our true nature when we entered this physical universe, it doesn't mean that we can never remember it again. Quite the contrary. Actually, we have the ability to remember who we really are whenever we decide that this remembrance is something we choose to experience. Just like everything in life, it is a choice. If you choose not to remember, that is a choice also. You are reading this article because you chose to read it. Nobody is forcing you to read it. You made a choice to read it in order to fulfill a desire that is within you. You don't need to analyze it any further than that. Unless you choose to. Just like God, the divine force that is at the core of your being is love. Love is this universal omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent force that is the foundation of everything that has ever happened and ever will happen. In the realm of the absolute, love is all there is. In the realm of the physical relative world, love is a concept that can only be known by comparing it to the opposite of love or what we call fear. That is the nature of our gross relationships here in the universe of relativity. The universe of dualities tells us that everything physical is either one thing or another, or some variation between the two to some greater or lesser degree. That is why we think that we are all separate from each other. We are defining our relationship to one another through our physical senses. These senses tell us that a thing is either one thing or another, or some variation between the two. That is the nature of the physical universe. When we allow the spirit part of our beingness (mind-body-spirit) to be an equal partner in how we define ourselves, then we would not only use the physical senses to characterize our existence but we would also use our nonphysical senses of feelings, intuition, deja vu, intentions, desires, second-sight and clairvoyance. These nonphysical senses are part of our make up just as much as our physical senses. It is just like everything in our lives. We attract to us that which we put our attention on. We are constantly putting our attention on our physical senses when we live unconsciously. Almost everything that we encounter in our day-to-day lives is defined, labeled and categorized by our physical senses. If we put more attention on using our nonphysical senses, we would begin to develop a broader spectrum of things to analyze as we encounter the people, places and events that show up in our lives. It is in the balance of our physical and nonphysical senses that we can be most effective in interpreting the life process. Viewing the world entirely from the perspective of our physical senses reveals a world that we can only see through physical eyes, hear through physical ears, smell through physical noses, taste through physical tongues, and feel through physical skins. Even though we believe that this life is physical, we are also aware that we are receiving information from sources that are not part of our physical sensory apparatus. We attribute these sensory stimulants to our brains, which are physical, and then don't think too much about how this ethereal input fits into the overall process of our existence. In other words, we are not conscious of the contribution that our nonphysical senses make in the overall process of the day-to-day living of our lives. Everything nonphysical seems to be processed by the brain, and that's good enough for most people to call it physical because they don't want to get confused by thinking outside the box. Most people living unconsciously just want to believe in a world where we are born, we experience life as a physical form, and then we die. That is what they have been told and that perspective becomes what they incorporate into their own belief system. This is not conducive to viewing life as a process. When we interpret our lives through just our physical senses, we are limiting the scope of what we believe to be our existence. This limited perspective of our existence as a whole is the main contributing factor to the limits we put on ourselves every day.
