"We are told Biblically, and from other sources, that we are one with God and therefore God is within us. If this is true, why does man seek God everywhere but within himself? Now if man seeks God externally, could it not be for the same reason he seeks reasons for his illnesses and maladies by blaming external forces? If there is any truth in this it can be easily imagined why he also seeks external methods for dealing with them.
In the past (and even today) it was believed that man's illnesses were caused by evil forces (call them what you will) and ways were sought to exorcise these evil forces from the mind, or body. When Pasteur discovered the germ theory, he recreated the same situation in a more modern, scientifically acceptable form. Instead of blaming the evil forces, the blame was laid at the feet of the germ theory and the exorcism was done on parts of the body, as if the ‘diseased' part was ‘evil' and had to be removed, as it is in mastectomy. Pasteur is reputed himself to have seen his error in later years and realized that it was the soil that was important, not the seed (germs).
In simple terms, germs and viruses only become dangerous when the soil we have created for them is suitable for them to do their supposed ‘evil' works. Now if the body is created in His image, then surely it is self-healing, having its own medicine."
---Arthur Pauls
"Whereas the average individuals, 'often have not the slightest idea of what they are, of what they want, of what their own opinions are,' self-actualizing individuals have 'superior awareness of their own impulses, desires, opinions, and subjective reactions in general.'"
---Abraham Maslow
"Self-actualizing people have a deep feeling of identification, sympathy, and affection for human beings in general. They feel kinship and connection, as if all people were members of a single family."
---Abraham Maslow
"Basic characteristics of an individual organism: to divide, to unite, to merge into the universal, to abide in the particular, to transform itself, to define itself, and as living things tend to appear under a thousand conditions, to arise and vanish, to solidify and melt, to freeze and flow, to expand and contract. Since these effects occur together, any or all may occur at the same moment."
---Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"In some sense man is a microcosm of the universe; therefore what man is, is a clue to the universe. We are enfolded in the universe."
---David Bohm
"Thought has been constantly evolving and we can't say when that system began."
---David Bohm
"Logic is the anatomy of thought."
---John Locke
"I want to know God's thoughts.....the rest are details."
---Albert Einstein
"When the solution is simple, God is answering."
---Albert Einstein
"But what if on some level we are made of sound? What if in the beginning was the Word? What if the music of the spheres is no myth? What if we ourselves are a harmonic convergence? What if the holographic grid of our being is a linguistic and musical interface between higher-dimensional light, which might be considered a form of divine thought or intention, and sound in higher-dimensional octaves?"
---Sol Luckman
Our hearts hold the key to a fulfilling life. [Right now. Right here. That is right! Our hearts.] For many years I have had conversations with various friends about life's purpose and our role in that purpose. [It's a regular type of conversation, right?] I have listened to many sadnesses manifest and then [eventually] dissipate because some of the friends had experienced "failure and brokenness" in their lives. I have experienced similar bouts of sadness. In fact, many of those moments dug into my flesh and transferred me over to clinical depression a time or two.
Psalm 37:4-5 says, "Delight yourself in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass." This quote has been floating around "in my atmosphere" since I was a young girl. It always seemed so ominous and so unreachable. Many of my friends have experienced the same sort of thoughts about the Scripture.
We thought, "What am I doing wrong? How can I perfect my relationship with God so that He will give me the desires of my heart? Certainly, I must need to do something different. I am no where near reaching the desires of my heart."
The reality, though, is that God was not/is not keeping anything from us. He is/was the lover of our soul from our day one to the end of eternity (Whoops! there is no end to eternity). Well, you get what I mean.
As I learn about the holographic universe in which we live, I become cognizant of the fact that God, who is omnipresent, indeed, does live inside of me and outside of me all at once. And, when I start to reconcile with the fact that my heart contains all of Him all at once, my brain and spirit cause me to connect to how He is the biggest desire of our heart. And then, I know, without a doubt, that the desires of our heart are already met. They were given to us before we entered the earth plane as the body we are today. We simply need to open our bodies enough to experience all the treasures deep inside.
We must align ourselves with our truest Self to own this Truth. We are living in a time in history where this statement should not be baffling to us. We have so much knowledge, and we have the educational backgrounds to tackle that knowledge. Information is abundant and organized into neat and easy packages that we can digest and understand. This shouldn't be scary to us; and we definitely should not shut ourselves away in darkened ignorance and/or "black and white" inflexibility. [What a travesty when we do! How much horrible suffering is created from our rigid viewpoints that fail to see the biggest picture of all: God is the impossible. God is great!]
Our faith has been growing, expanding, evolving since day and night were conceived and then birthed by God Himself. The world is saturated in love that God is waiting for us to receive. All peoples have God within. All peoples are God's "select few." There is no "A-list" for God. We are all extremely important all the time.
As we learn to love our self, we learn who God IS. By trusting that we ARE everything we will ever need to be, we crack open all the empty promises of the planet we live on. We see who we really are and who we have always been. We are totally precious. We each are unique gifts God gave/gives Himself. Everything about us is lovable. We are love. Even the ugly, dark, and cantankerous parts of us are loved by God. Like we love children in the throws of a temper tantrum, God loves us. He knows why we do what we do. There are no secrets from Him. He made us in the innermost part of His being and we still exist right there. We are eternal. We are beautiful.
It is a practice for us to exhibit, feel, know and share love. But it should bring joy rather than suffering. The world around us is multi-leveled. The trick is to focus on your heart. Be very still. Listen to what your heart has to say. Does it need to feel healing before it can open itself to bigger and better things? Then, by all means, go inside yourself and determine what is in pain---what needs your attention. This may take awhile. Give this to yourself. You deserve it.
As you enter into your inner sanctum, step outside of the "experience of pain." Rather, review it like a movie. [The pain has left its memory. It is that memory that must be addressed.] Witness all it has to tell you, and when it finally settles down, visualize the white light ("the hand of God") reaching around and through the hurt. Feel His softness. Feel the profound sense of love penetrating every aspect of yourself. Stay in this place until it feels good to let go.
If you are currently experiencing pain, visualize yourself turning the situation pink. Where angst, difficulty, or injury are present, let go of your mind's hold. Rest, and let the room fill with the pink light. Breathe deeply. Concentrate on the breath. If you can, transform the moment into something positive and/or serene. If you can't, just stay with the color. Trust that you ARE exactly where you need to be. Be aware of your body. Lean into the color if the situation seems to intensify. When the situation resolves itself, step out of the pain as you step out of the color. Be compassionate to yourself and to those involved.
If your heart is pain free, then listen to what else it has to say. You don't need to be in pain to listen. You can just as easily feel joy when you still yourself to hear your heart's truth. What does your heart want from you? What can you do for it? What can it do for you? Does it just want to talk for awhile? Take the time you both require. You are One. This is how your heart's desires are made known. If this is a short practice at first, it is ok. Again, you can trust that you ARE experiencing life and your heart exactly as you must. God's perspective is always eternal; but despite the timelessness, He has every hair on your head counted and taken care of. Open yourself to His loving touch. It is right here. Feel His presence. Know Him. Love Him. You are His and you always will BE. Trust.
Every desire is waiting to come to fruition. Every desire grows inside you. You don't need to go outside yourself. You are all you need. Be yourself. Let yourself live the best life you can possibly imagine. God is able. God is inside your everything. Believe!
