Yesterday I spent an exhilarating day in the midst of the mosaic of humanity in my area. I wondered how many of them knew how to quiet their lives in order to create something that is magnificent, allowing the heart flame of the Sacred Fire of the Holy Spirit, the Universal Spiritual Light Substance within their I AM Presence, to shine forth in their lives in order to create beauty, wonder, awe, inspiration, and possibility. You ARE Spirit. You are encapsulated in a BODY, which includes your MIND. Simply put, if you were not Spirit, you would be dead.
I saw a young woman dressed in black with a black turban on her head, sitting with a depressed look on her face as she watched her children play outside of the ice cream parlor yesterday. Yes, it was hot outside and she was covered from head to toe in clothing and closed shoes, but I questioned myself whether she knew that her life as a woman was not meant to walk behind a man, including her son, and if she fully realized that the Original Sin history has so conveniently placed upon Eve, the Mother of all women, was a radical readjustment to the reality that the Original Sin belonged to the Fallen Angels who mated with beautiful women of Genesis 6. The Original Sin placed on women down through the ages was that of the raping angels who inhabited male bodies, not the victim women they raped. This woman who was most likely on vacation was obviously having no fun.
The mosaic of humanity can easily fall into the trap not understanding that Albert Eistein, Nichola Tesla, and even Henry Ford all did not use their own brilliance, knowledge, nor extra-hard work to accomplish the discoveries they manifested. Instead, these people calmly spent time away from others in order to peacefully, and intentionally meditate and contemplate the mysteries of life as they saw them, as so many people before them and after them have done. In doing so, the solutions to the inventions they each sought to create suddenly “came to them.” It was not because they were men, nor because they were extra holy. They simply tapped into the beauty and the possibility thinking without consciously thinking that these unheard-of inventions could not possibly be created in the negative thinking process.
Where does the magic of life come from? Oh no, did I use the word magic?
The magic of life arrives to each of us each sunrise. Capture this magic moment before your feet hit the floor in the morning. Realize that the Spirit that animates you is perfect in Its Being physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, naturally. You already know that what you focus on grows. Instead of focusing on what is not working, decide to switch your thinking to the solutions you peacefully seek.
Do not forget this I AM Presence throughout your day. It is a Universal Energy, God-given tool for you to use for your own personal benefit. It is loaded in Its pulse of Divine Wisdom and genuine heartfelt Love waiting to manifest within you, but since Free Will is involved, YOU MUST ASK.
What would you like to do today that you did not do yesterday? This is the magic of each day, something you alone create.
Balance is the key to a well-mosaic-lived life. But awareness is the key to balance. Without awareness that you have the direct and distinct ability to access and utilize the Cosmic Light Substance of the Presence known as the Great Central Sun, otherwise also known as God, Spirit, Miracles, Universal Life Energy, and/or Chi, you might momentarily think there is no possibility for balance. Another word for this seeming reality is FOG: Fear, Obligation, Guilt.
FOG, as Fear, Obligation, Guilt, is merely an illusion that you buy into, that limits you in some delusional way, masking and suggesting that you cannot possibly achieve, succeed, or have a beautiful every single day. It is totally up to you to manifest the reality you choose to experience. Not everyone usually has a perfect life every minute of every moment of the day. Things happen. These are life’s lessons. How are you choosing to learn these life lessons?
With Shark Week last week, I for one would not be so quick to jump back in the ocean to surf the waves after what I’ve seen. Then again, it might be just as “thrilling” to “catch this wave” of the dance seen above! Everyone has personal goals. The sky is the limit. What limits you? Do you want to try a new career or new hobby?
Change is a refreshing way to see life in a new way. It is a matter of perspective. The same thing holds true with your belief system. Do you ever have any questions about that? Are you still practicing the same religion you did when you were seven years old? Do you ever allow yourself to question your faith? Does your religion advocate book banning and censorship? These are good questions to think about. We have all heard the justifications as to why to keep the status quo. Does that make sense to you?
Each life mosaic need not be gut wrenching, death defying, nor outrageous to be rewarding and soul satisfying. Know that there is a way to fully live your life in a way that does not involve failing by trial and error constantly. There is another way to learn, even for those “old dogs trying to learn new tricks.”
The way to learn that is not aways by trial and error, as thrilling as that can be, is by peacefully taking time out each day to meditate and/or contemplate or pray. Prayer is you talking to God. Meditation is God talking with you. If you never take the time to stop talking, either in prayer or in life, how are you ever going to hear the answers of Divine Inspiration? Some would say there is nothing “Divine” about it. It is simply the way Universal Life Energy works. Contemplation is you pondering over the information you have received in your meditation. Try to never do any of this in a hyper-active state as if it is just one more thing on your to-to-list. What is the rush?
Before John Coltrane could stun the audiences with his astounding ability, he had to learn life lessons that made this possible. He invested his time to ensure his talent could be appreciated by others. Some learning takes time. You are never too young nor too old to learn new ideas, concepts, habits that can benefit you as well as others. Practice makes perfect, as the saying goes.
How do you go about creating your mosaic of full perfection? Trial and error is a tough way to go by yourself. You need others with the experience in your field of interest to assist you. Some of us like to be quiet about needing help. Sometimes you need to learn from the mistakes of others so that you do not repeat these same mistakes yourself. That is why there are so many fields of study, like so many brands of religion and religious or spiritual thought. What can you look for that would tip you off that something is missing?
Look to your own unanswered questions. A religion, for example, that is complete, will not leave you wanting for the missing information, such as, what did Jesus do during his missing years. It is interesting to note that most religions are so proud of the 15 years of the mosaic of the life of Jesus, while remaining quietly ignorant of the remaining 18 years of his life. Aren’t you interested to find out the other notes of his life?
Asking questions prevents mistakes. History need not repeat itself if you do not want it to. You are in charge of turning over new blocks of color for the mosaic of your life. Maybe you have been limited by the same colors of your life, repeating routines, and mind-numbing habits. Change up how you get to where you are going.
Allow yourself to make changes, even if change might be the most terrifying notion you can think of. Think outside of the box. Experience something new.
You know there is more than one way to do everything. Only doing the most expedient way to get places and do everything is a sure-fire way to miss the boat on the most complete mosaic of your life. Have you ever thought about this?
There is more to the mosaic of your life than productivity. There is more to the mosaic of your life than your paycheck. What matters to you? What are your priorities? What is your value system? Do you have friends you have to agree with to be part of the gang?
Do you get your news from the local coffee shop, only one television, radio, or only 140 bites of information on the internet? You are worthy of knowing all there is to know, not just what is most popular. You matter so much that your voice matters, your thoughts matter, your actions matter, and your vote matters. You were not put here on this earth to be the puppet for others, nor to make sure huge corporations make money while taking money out of your pocket. Unless you watch all the news, not just some of the news; if you only listen to the gossip of the day, you will be living your life with blinders on. This will be like constructing your mosaic of life blindfolded, resulting in you not seeing the whole picture.
You do not have to do this relaxation or life-long learning alone. Invite a friend, your sister, brother, co-worker, neighbor, anyone with whom you resonate mentally, emotionally, physically, and/or spiritually. Enjoy the moments that rejuvenate you to your core.
Observe the beauty all around you. The world offers you both beauty and discord, peace and war, good and evil. Be responsible to those who need your assistance. Help where you can, as in treating others the way you want to be treated. Also realize your limits. Be generous with yourself as well.
Wind down the day as you began, in a moment of appreciation for the gift of the mosaic of your life. There is no one else quite like you. Even identical twins have differences in their personalities. Appreciate all you have learned each day.
However you arrive at the evening, it is useful to your body, mind, and soul to call to mind the good things of the day. Be thankful to the Author of the mosaic of your life, that you are even here in the first place. You did not have to be born, yet here you are. I thank God for the gift of you, as I am sure more of your family and friends are as well, and maybe more than you realize.
Namaste
