SO MUCH MORE THAN A BODY




When we realize we are vastly more than our body we begin the walk out of limitation. We learn where our identity comes from and we open the door to true self-responsibility. It is then we plant the first seed toward accepting our own divinity.



Portion of the Whole

We think we are our bodies; but we are not. We think we are our problems, or our ancestors, or our many identities. We are not. We are not our sex, or our illnesses, or our desires. We are not our loves, our pains, or our addictions. What we are is a piece of the all that is, sired by the Light, in order that the "isness" might experience Itself greater than it was before.

We are the embodiment of love so vast, so incomprehensible, that we run from its power. Yet that power is what we are. We are the higher power that is greater than ourselves. We are a marvellous creation of mind in matter. We are the ongoingness and foreverness of everything that is.

Never Seperated from The Source

 We are a portion of the infinite, a piece of God destined to wake up one day and remember just that. We are incomprehensible forces of energy living for now inside physical instruments, because that is what we CHOSE to do. We are a portion of the Whole: therefore what God is, is what we are. We are power centers of unlimited magnificence, supreme intelligences who have never been seperated from our Source, for we are that Source.

We are what we look outside ourselves to find. We are the love we seek, the joy for which we yearn, the fervour of life we think we have lost. Our longing is but the pressing call of our Soul to wake up, and remember. This, then, is our grand journey home!!

The Longing

 Understanding what our strange longings have felt like over the years, and how we handled them helps to clear away any doubts we may have about beginning this journey back to remembrance.

Most of us have felt something was missing in our lives, that there had to be far more to life than a paycheck, a two-car garage, 2-3 kids and matching towel sets. There was an emptiness we haven´t understood and rarely spoke about, a hollowness we yearned to fill, but never did - or could.

The greatest gift we can give ourselves is to seek to remember who and what we are. The only way we will ever fill that longing is to walk into our own power and accept our divinity while we relish our physicalness.

Our Beliefs Form Our Reality

 If we can swallow the notion that our beliefs create our experience, that our entire physical environment is the materialisation of our beliefs, that our beliefs form every moment of our reality, and that if we really believe a thing, the effect will follow whether we want it to or not... well, if we can ultimately swallow all that, we just MIGHT realise how unimaginably powerful we are. We just MIGHT come to accept that each and every one of us is a creator god, creating at the moment by accident instead of by intent. We just MIGHT come to accept that we are made of the same omnipotent, supreme energy that creates worlds.

Sure, a lot - if not most - of our beliefs have come from others, but until we can see that we are not at their mercy unless we BELIEVE we are, we remain in that vicious circle where we´re constantly reinforcing all the stuff we´re trying so desperately to change. And wondering why it´s not happening!!

If you want to know what your beliefs are, you have only to listen to your conversation with others. Here´s the bottom line: Until we can completely and unequivocally accept the idea that our beliefs form our reality, our reality is not going to change. Period!! And we will never, but never come to believe that we are any greater than these dear bodies. Yes, the bodies are a wonder, but they are simply not what we are. Never have been, never will be. So if we can match up at least some of our beliefs with some of our problems, and vice versa, we just MIGHT be willing to accept that we are ever so much more than our bodies.

Entity and Body

 Deep inside each of us, to the left of the heart, is a little spark that is incomprehensibly powerful. That little spark is what we are, for it is a piece of our entity. It is All That Is, learning to experience more of Itself in this wonderous thing called a body. Inside us, our entity can explore its potential and understand more of what it is, meaning more of what WE are.

However, let´s not downplay the body. While it is nowhere near the totality of what we are, it holds the knowledge of all that has ever been or ever existed... anywhere... in any universe. Our journey, then, is to get the two together, entity and body. This is the journey home, the journey into remembrance, the journey back to the love from which we came and from which we were made. This is the creation of heaven on Earth.

Cosmic Omnipresence

As soon as we allow ourselves to explore possibilities beyond physicality, our minds will open like whirlwinds. No, we´re not talking "spirit world" here, but WAY beyond that into cosmic omnipresence. And no, we don´t get there by dying, for dying is just stepping into another frequency that feels good, but where we´re still basically physical. What we´re talking about here is learning to touch the realness of ourselves WHILE STILL IN THIS BODY. When we can reach in and touch that life spark, we step into a world of incomprehensible joy. We´ve mastered physicality, and we´ll never have to do anything else except play out our physical games for the remainder of the time we choose to stick around.

Image!! That´s the operative word here. Until we can see that image has been dictating our lives, not much is going to change. So let´s work at slicing away at the image, forcing new joy and new feelings into our bodies. Let´s sharpen our awareness of what our images are doing and work toward eliminating our boundaries, one by one, until there will be nothing for us to do but live from that inner spark, in joy, in harmony with all Life.
