“God is not just living, nor does God give life, but God is Life.” In his 1918 acceptance speech for the Nobel prize in physics Max Planck he said in part: “All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.” As we know today because of Quantum Physics, what Max Planck could only assume, we know to be true. That at the most minute level of existence the particles that comprise everything, animate and inanimate, demonstrate intelligence. So, by extension it is clear now that something is going on throughout all of existence. Is this the mind of God? Beats me, but it does give one pause to wonder.
On a more practical level, just as day follows night; “The body always expresses the thought; the thought of Life heals and inspires, whereas thoughts of fear and death contract and destroy.” Although everything is comprised of the same matrix, we alone choose where our consciousness will lie. Do I focus on love and service or fear? God or human limitation? Although comprised of the same matrix, the chair I am sitting in or the cat sleeping in the next room won’t be faced with that choice. Why? For unlike the chair or the cat we are literally the children of God, unique in all creation, our only real purpose to practice the Presence of God. Though comprised of the same matrix neither the cat or chair are concerned with the outside world. The chair has no consciousness, even though comprised of conscious energy, and the cat, though conscious expresses only what it is, a cat. Nothing happening at work or on the nightly news has ever kept a cat from getting a good nights sleep. Our task is too learn from the cat and express our true nature; Children of God practicing His presence in every aspect of our lives.
