Now Be Here, Be Here Now

Where were we before we were conceived? One moment we didn't exist and then by an act of love, we did. In that single cell, the fertilized egg, everything about us was there: our eye color, the shape of our fingernails, hair color, final height, sex, our blueprint of freckles, everything that makes us, us, all in a point of protoplasm so small as to be invisible to the naked eye, pretty amazing. Then we began to grow and nine months (give or take) later we made our appearance on the world stage. Fast forward a few decades and we arrive at another seminal moment in life, when the time in this flesh comes to an end. Where’d we go? Consider: Before we were born we were nowhere physically, we are born, and now we are now here. Then our physical body ceases to function and we are nowhere again. Same word, just a little different spacing: nowhere to now here to nowhere again. (Tip of the hat to Wayne Dyer and Baba Ram Dass.)

In truth, we have always been “here”, part of, connected to Source, Divine Consciousness immanent, the flesh merely a tool, a conveyance in this time for our eternal consciousness. We didn’t arrive from anywhere and we don’t go anywhere. Our birthday and death day are points on a relatively meaningless calendar, since God and our consciousness are eternal. Living on the Spiritual Basis we spend this life applying spiritual truth and understanding to everything in our lives to the best of our awareness at the time since our awakening is an ongoing process. In so doing the answers to the eternal questions come if we are diligent. So don’t concern yourself with what is on the other side of the line, for the line really is immaterial, for death waits for all men but waits on no man.  Keep your eyes and thoughts on today’s demonstrations and the morrow will take care of its self. In living this way we will approach the transition in peace, embracing the change, bidding farewell to the limitations of flesh, going nowhere, being here now in raised consciousness.

Renewing Energy

Without renewing energy stagnation results and there is probably no better demonstration of this than a tidal pool. The renewing energy of the waves keeps a pool fresh, supplied with renewed vigor. Consider our consciousness as a tidal pool, our renewing waves comprised of willingness, open mindedness, of turning to Source in all things, trusting in God to wash over us in forgiveness, love and guidance, in turn carrying away that which is stagnant, our negative and fearful thoughts.

A closed mind is like the tidal pool that has been blocked off from the renewing energy of the sea. Soon thoughts turn brackish, becoming unhealthy, energy and even life draining away. Eventually if nothing fresh flows in all life and positive energy drains away, leaving only fear and discontent. Self-centered fear works to convince us that in times of trouble the waves of renewal will not return; closing our mind to truth, and faith begins to waver.

Just as the oceans level rises and falls, leaving the pool seemingly without supply for a time, so does our awareness of our connection to Source. By standing in the light through the demonstration of consistent prayer, service and meditation we know the tide will rise and the waves of renewing energy will return. So we stay willing and open minded, to learn and listen; the renewing energy of Divine Intelligence keeping us fresh and alive, ready to demonstrate the power of Creation in every area of our  life.

"The Nature Of Matter"

Everything is comprised of energy. Not just energized, but comprised of it. Whatever you are sitting on. The device you are looking at or the paper you are reading this on. The air you are breathing, you, everything. In 1944 Nobel Prize winner Max Planck in a speech titled "The Nature Of Matter" 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.” In the last few decades science has observed what Max Planck postulated years ago to be true. The importance of this so profound the largest machine ever constructed by man lies underground outside of Geneva, the 17 mile long Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to investigate these particles.

Living on the Spiritual Basis, the intelligence that exists through out creation is accepted and understood by faith. Tools like the LHC for exploring the micro or the Hubble telescope the macro, perhaps will help those who doubt the existence of a Power Greater Than Themselves to have a bit more of an open mind, but that is left to them. Having found the great reality deep within, Living on the Spiritual Basis the truth in living has become operative through demonstration. In the moments of fear and doubt that come for all, we have learned to quietly turn to the Source for our salvation and answers, tapping into the power that exists all around us, within and without. Living on the Spiritual Basis we have learned through experience to apply Infinite Power, the mind that is the matrix of all matter, in our lives, guarantying freedom from and over all difficulties, success immanent.
