Manifestation - Inner Gifts!

Much has been talked about and bantered around regarding the concept of Manifestation. It seems to me that, we as a society, as a collection or agreement of thought creation, need to take another look at what we really mean, when we use the term Manifestation. Over the last few years, there have been certain scientific documentaries stipulating that the big hush, hush secret is out of the bag, and we really have been getting it wrong, or we have not fully understood who we are here on this globe. A sort of affirming of the notion that we can change our stars, if you will, that all is well within our framework of comprehension, to alter the very way things come about in our world... through thought of course. 

It must be said that scientific research continues to assist us as the Human Species, and all surrounding sub-species, in the evolution of thought towards a more Spirit based existence. Yet, I believe that much of the secrets being exposed, are just small advances in our overall understanding of Spirit having a physical experience here on earth, and that there really are no secrets at all. 

To manifest that which is within the carrier of the physical body, requires one's absolute commitment to being in the physical body, getting to know that Spirit, and fully realizing the gifts that have been bestowed upon that soul. This takes time! After-all, we are not meant to, "say the word and it shall be done", .... pouf .... I've manifested! If that were the case, the notion of involution and then evolution, would be out the window, nothing to really learn as we are here in the physical world, we would just be an assortment of really talented Magicians. I am not sure that is the plan!!!! 

Manifestation of one's inner gifts requires patience! Patience enough to acknowledge the gifts given within one's soul, and patience enough to believe in those gifts to cultivate them fully. I am always reminded of JK Rowland, and her struggles as she attempted to bring forward her volumes of a Magician, nonetheless. It is said that it took her approximately 17 years to accomplish and complete the entire series of books. I am sure it took commitment, faith, devotion, patience, tolerance, belief in what she was doing, despite being rejected numerous times in the beginning stages, and mostly, it took an immense amount of perseverance. 

I am also reminded of people such as Don Bosco from the 1850's, who believed he would open an oratory for boys, street kids that society discarded. It took many attempts over many years and many obstacles to accomplish this tremendously gracious deed. In the end it certainly was his perseverance that lead the way. I am sure his strength of faith did not hurt him either.

Manifestation is no secret, it is our right as Spirit, our right as the image of the Great Creator we refer to as God. Yet, as we do Manifest, our inner selves, our inner gifts, within the continuum of thought of this temporal, space and time existence, let us not forget that we are here for a lifetime of experience. So take it one day at time, one breath at a time, stay focused, continue to cultivate your inner being, and always know that no matter what transpires within your earthly body, you are greatly Loved!

Manifest your inner being, try not to be a magician, and remember to be within your Presents!

The Understanding of God!

This phrase, 'Pray to the God of your understanding,'  is one that is commonly used within the Spiritualist community. I suppose it is not unlike the Catholic or Christian community suggesting to its participants that one pray to Jesus (God of their understanding), or any saint, or Angel for that matter. Similarly, it would not be unlike the Hindu community asking its participants to pray to the deities Ganesha or Vishnu ( God(s) of their understanding) for that matter. The God figure of the Spiritualists, is often referred to as Father, sometimes Father/Mother, depending on the agreement of the specific community. 

Perhaps this concept of praying to the God of one's understanding, was intended to free the Spirit from the shackles of dogma, found within mainstream religions. Or perhaps it was simply a way of allowing the aspirant of Spirit to engage further within themselves to discover more about God. Or perhaps they just could not decide.

It is fascinating to see how any specific religion, has adapted to the understanding of its agreements of God, some of these agreements being thousands of years old. Is God good or bad? Is God to be feared or Loved? Is God to be worshiped or brought into one's heart? Is God submission therefore freedom, or controlling therefore insecure? Is God to be trusted, or is God to be watched over with a close eye?   All these questions can be answered I suppose, through one's experience of life here on earth, and this in turn would represent ones' understanding. To seek for truth in all that transpires within one's life, is the quest of understanding of this concept known to us as God, in the hope that we have a more complete or unified  view of the Oneness.

So if a little girl is abducted, tortured, and then murdered, would this in turn represent the understanding of God, from the perspective of the transgressor, the little girl, or both? In the complex of the give and take of energy, within the Oneness of life, oddly enough, it would have to be both. A difficult concept to get ones' head around. Perhaps the silver lining in all of this would be, that God would be there for both these individuals, for different reasons of course, yet nonetheless, still there for both. In this case, is one less deserving of God's attention than the other, are they equal, does God judge and condemn one, and then give salvation to another?

Once again difficult to really say, it would of course depend on one's understanding of what God is and therefore implies. In one of the writings found within my book, 'A Journey With The Total Self,' entitled 'I Am here, I Am with you,' it speaks of the equality of the Spirit, despite the action of the ego. All are held, kept, and Loved within the bosom of the Great One Spirit, known as God. This is, I suppose, the place of true and authentic Love, not to judge or condemn, yet to give of Love no matter what!

So if in turn this transgressor, while incarcerated, turns to God in his/her healing of self, and then through the grace of the Oneness, God, he/she is used as a catalyst in the  discovering of the cure to cancer for instance, does this exempt him/her from serving time for the crime committed, will we perceive this individual differently? Would our understanding of God have allowed for change, growth, or perhaps remained stagnate?

The path to the understanding of Love, or God for that matter, is steeped in riddles and or mysteries, which are intended to incite the soul to go beyond their present understanding. To reach the true understanding of what so many religions have attempted to package in rituals, in dogma, in ceremonies of worship, in principles, is perhaps one of the greatest tests of time for the Human Species, to understand God as it relates to ones' existence here on earth.

Suffice to say, I believe that we as the Human Species,  would rather have an understanding of God as a  benevolent source of joy , as opposed to a vindictive, an eye for an eye, kind of God that judges and condemns if not adhered to.  Many names, many faces, and many attributes, yet none of it really pertains, what a dilemma! If only we could be just like ....... Ourselves, being the Spirit of God, the Spirit of authentic Love, what a wonderful notion!

 

Onward we go, towards the ultimate in life, the understanding of GOD!!!

Slowly, slowly, for after-all, we've got time, we are eternal, as is our understanding of  GOD!!
