DO WE HAVE SPIRITUAL POWER?

ARE WE POWERFUL, POWERLESS,

OR SOMEWHERE IN-BETWEEN?

 

Let’s discuss the most popular spiritual power,

which is the ability to manifest, cocreate, or attract

into our lives and what we focus on mentally.

Best known as the Law Of  Attraction. 

 

My guidance often refers to this as the “Power

To Manifest.” To start off this discussion, I will

reach back and republish a few posts that cover

this ground fairly well.

 

If any of this is new to you, I suggest taking the

time to read Chapter Three of Finding God On

The Train titled, New Thought Spirituality

Yesterday and Today, for a quick primer,

available under the Book Chapters tab on 

the right-hand sidebar on the blog.  

                   

COCREATING WITH GOD                                  

A key concept in New Thought is the Law of Mind

Action, better known these days, as the Law Of

Attraction, which features our ability to cocreate

with God.  It took me some time to accept this

concept, that we could actually tap some innate

spiritual ability, and manifest what we hold in

consciousness, into the physical world, and that

this happened without much effort. 

 

Having seen this Law in action, I now believe

it is true but is dependent on our full belief

in the process. Since this has been an area that

I have struggled with, I have received much

guidance on how to make this a reality. In the 

Meditation Guidance below titled, The Power

To  Manifest, I am given a very clear look on 

how to approach the power of cocreation.

 

THE POWER TO MANIFEST

You have the power to manifest whatever

you need or want into your world – to

bring it to being – to bring to life your

visions, dreams, and fantasies through

the pure focusing of your mind.

Cocreating through your thoughts and 

connecting with God's energy – all of life –

abundant and authentic life awaits.

  

All that is needed is your belief and the

clarity of your thoughts and emotions. 

You must suspend doubt, fear, and

contradiction, and with all your mental

focus, visualize, and emotionally envision 

the action, person, place, event, circum-

stance, or thing you want to manifest

into this world.

  

The natural and spiritual law, through

right attraction will send out the signal

through all the spiritual network, and the

result will manifest – cocreated through

right desire and fixed focus. If you are 

aligned in thought and emotion – this

power creates an unstoppable signal

of vibrational desire and the result

will come.

  

You must always be ready to receive,

ready to receive your creation – your

mind creation from the network - in

order to receive the delivery. First,

believe, then with clear emotion and thought 

focus on the desired manifestation, 

and then prepare to receive.

 

Do not doubt, do not question, and do

not become impatient. Work today on

constant positive manifestation. It is

time to manifest the magnificence 

of your life.

NOE 7.18.2009 9:10 AM

 

I would like to focus the next few posts on the

Law of Attraction, or as my guidance calls it,

the Law of Mind Action, and how we are able

to concrete with God. Next, I will review my

guidance on how to develop the power of

belief, which is needed to be a successful

cocreator.

So, what do you think about this power to

manifest?

WORD POWER

Words. Each and every word that we

exchange in the hope of, in search of,

meaningful connections, leaves

our lips full of vitality, plump with

purpose, striving to alert the receiver

of our intention or course of action.

 

Words are our messengers – the foot

soldiers of our existence – able to convey

love or turmoil, peace or conflict,

set out to promote or blossom – or

diminish or quell – to tell a story,

inspire, explain an action, or a reason

for existence.

 

Let us be aware of the power of

our words, carefully selecting each,

forming them into phrases, sentences,

understanding that too few or too

many may help or hinder – requiring

us to choose wisely, never wasting

a single one.

SPARKS

Inside us, all is a spark of genius waiting

to be summoned, to be pressed into active

service, to be tapped in moments of our

greatest need – ready to provide a fresh

perspective, an unthought-of solution.

 

Inside us all is a spark of courage waiting

to come forth in times of struggle or moments

of our most acute need – able to withstand

any trial or tribulation – a strong tower

when life presents its severest challenges.

 

Inside us all is a spark of spirit waiting

to guide us to the blessings and grace

that has always been ours for the living,

a loving hand to grasp in moments

of our unmet need, a tender voice

to remind us of our true capabilities

and inner strengths.

ART OF OUR BECOMING 

Our lives are works in progress –

our personal creation formed through

life experience, reflecting what we know

to be true, what we believe, our values

forged through the joys and sorrows

of living, our small steps, and quantum

jumps, towards revealing our true purpose.

 

Our lives are works in progress and we,

as the artist in residence must be diligent

to protect our most wonderful creation –

to admire its design – to cherish its

expression – to allow it to flower, to bloom –

to be reformed when needed  - to become

what it is destined to become.

 

Our lives are works in progress – living,

breathing creations – requiring us to

continue our masterpieces – as active

participants in the art of our becoming.

Opportunity does not always knock,

sometimes it just leaves the door

slightly ajar, leaving it up to us to grasp

the possibility, to indicate our intention,

to seize the moment with a firm grasp

and a ready heart.  

 

DOOR LEFT AJAR

Today, let us not move away from the

possibilities life presents - stepping back

because we are caught off guard, ill

prepared for the “chance” encounter -

and instead, moving forward, take

hold with a firm grasp and a ready heart.

 

As we do, let us embrace the adventures

beckoning us, to jettison our fear and live

more fully, to ride the wave of a fresh

perspective, to offer our souls new

nourishment.

 

So today, let us be vigilant in our being,

careful not to overlook, or underestimate

the potential impact of even a small

possibility, a slight opportunity, a door

left ajar, and promise ourselves not

to be left behind.

Being alive and human is, at times, a struggle,

yet we are made from tough stock - the dust

of stars, the dreams of cosmic life, the infinite

striving of cells too small to see, an all-

encompassing infinite soul.

 

The note below reminds us of this innate

resilience - our ability for regeneration -

yet it does provide some sage advice:

the merits of constructive change when

possible.  

 

WITH WOUNDS HEALED

Resilience - our ability to rebound, spring

back, regain our equilibrium, is at the center

of human nature; our elasticity, enabling us

to withstand direct impact and recover,

stronger from the ordeal.

 

It is this capacity for regeneration, actual

reformation, with wounds, healed, and

traumas abated, that sharpens our instincts,

hones our skills, and toughens our psyches

going forward.

 

Even so, it is in our best interest to seek

a more peaceful livelihood, one conducive

to positive pursuits, where empowerment,

growth and personal development are prescribed

daily; where smiles appear sincere, thriving

commonplace, flourishing expected!

One day, someday, possibly today;

with clear fresh eyes, soul-centered

sight, the true immortal spirit within

us takes over our vision – darkness

lifts; humankind has evolved;

heaven on earth is revealed. 

 

WITH CLEAR FRESH EYES

Let us see with clear eyes today,

unobstructed by confused

interpretation, or distraught due

to misguided conditioning; rather,

sever our sights from our less than

positive thoughts and reactions,

enabling us to see the wonder,

the magic, the magnificence.

 

Today, allow us to see the Divine

in every smile,  the good in our

every effort, the purpose even in

the most tedious or mundane action,

the love in every interaction or

human contact.

 

In truth, let our fresh eyes see

the full possibility of human nature

evolved, conscious and awake,

the darkness lifted, the sky pristine,

our hoped-for future possible:

abounding with joy, peace, love,

and happiness; our destination –

heaven on earth.

I wrote this poem below over eleven years ago

but it was not until this morning that I felt

compelled to post it. I do not recall what 

was happening at the time, but I understand

its message and feel that it is is also meant

for me, here and now, today. Have I, in all this 

hubbub of living, rejoicing, and suffering,

forgotten the central theme, the simple truth 

of the message I convey - that you, me, we

are not alone. 

  

SPARK OF GOD

Even as the future lies in wait – not yet

fully revealed and opened to speculation,

as we hold firm to our belief,  as seconds

turn to days and hours eternities, with

our hopeful prayers disrupted by our

fears of suffering and loss, desperately

seeking to transcend this or perhaps,

better yet, escape this plight altogether –

knowing this is the time we earnestly

need to reach within for the spark of

the Divine, we have nourished and

sheltered – fostered and protected

for just this salient disturbance –

and in this tempest, let us know

our God truly resides within, with us,

to grasp our trembling hands, soothe

our Souls, and provide a place of peace

and perspective – hope and dignity –

true and lasting transcendence.

GLORIOUS UNFOLDING

The moments of our lives cascade,

then arrive like the pounding surf,

each separate but equal, always

full and robust, beckoning for our

purposeful attention, reminding us

of where our focus belongs - here,

now, present.

 

Let us take firm hold of this being,

turning away, politely, from what

was, or speculating on what might

be, and instead: plunge; dive; Soul

first into the foaming pleasure

of this living.  

 

Our life, this life – needs, requires our

full participation; no half effort will

accomplish the sincere involvement

warranted; rather, let us take this

moment, and each following moment,

head-on, thirsty for its magic, its

glorious unfolding.

resolute (adj) – admirably purposeful,

determined, unwavering. The thesaurus

adds – single-minded, steadfast, stalwart,

persistent, tenacious, strong-willed.

 

There is often so much about our modern

world that suggests ethical flexibility may

actually, be a virtue rather than a misstep.

The cutting of corners often seems prudent,

especially given that  “others” are most

certainly engaged in similar actions.

Yet, to be authentic, my guidance reminds

to be resolute in regards to the truth -

our truth, our vision of the way the world

should be approached and manifested.

 

OUR BOND 

Standing tall before adversity is the quality

of leaders and heroes; refusing to back

down or shift course when either approach

might be considered tenable; tests our

tenacity displays our resolve, focuses our

will.

 

Today, if life requires our rubber stamp,

let’s take ample time to survey the alternatives,

responding after careful reflection, under-

standing the quick decision often bounces

back to create havoc for the stamper.

 

As we proceed, let’s be fully aware of the

weight and significance of our vote, our

agreement, our support, our decision,

our course of action – accepting that our

endorsement carries with it our conviction,

our word, our truth, our conscience in

action, in short, our bond not lightly given.

Horror, whether real or fictional, seems to surround us,

attracting our attention by its scope and intensity in the

news, or turned into entertainment; especially prominent

and graphics in the electronic games that occupy our time - 

as our chitchat focuses on the pleasure of  watching shows

featuring hardened criminals, homicidal maniacs, brutal

warriors, and a host of the living dead.

 

The note featured below opens with an instruction

to turn away from the horror. I do believe that in order

for us to evolve, on a personal basis or as the custodians

of existence on this planet, we must find the wherewithal

to refuse to participate in the perpetuation or promotion

of our existing culture of horror: replacing it instead with

one of wholeness, clarity, beauty, loving-kindness, and

sincerity.

 

TO ENGAGE

Turn away from the horror, the disappointments,

the pains of existence – move, instead, towards

the wholeness, the pure completeness of a life

capable and inspired.  Know you, and you alone,

hold the key to clear, unencumbered existence –

fresh life – forming, reforming, being a being

of wonder, a beam of pure transparent light –

know you carry the essence of all existence

within – so release the stumbling blocks and

reach, fully extended, to grasp, to engage what

waits before you – find the frame of reference,

hold it in consciousness, become the incubator

for clarity, sincerity, purposefulness, passionate

existence – open to be, to receive, to become,

and to engage fully in your destiny.

A FORMING ORDER 

All the bits and pieces now strewn

across our lives, in time will find

their place, fulfill their purpose;

but for now, they must be patiently

and gracefully given room to settle

in, refine and adapt, to discover

their appropriate niche.

 

Let us follow suit, rolling with the

pats and punches, pliable and

malleable, stretching our arms

around the gentle mayhem –

all inclusive, comfortable with

the diverse views and perspectives.

 

As we do, know, within even this

seeming chaos exists a forming order,

setting the stage for a more essential

and commanding purposefulness –

a life more adequate than now imagined,

a destiny that serves us and all who

care to benefit – an effort of grace

and human will intertwined!

IN COLOR

Often, it is as if we see the world

in black and white, unaware

of the possibility of seeing in color,

and in this black and white world

we exist, living our lives, although

quite sure of something missing,

we cannot pinpoint what it is.

 

When we are awake, in and

with God, the color returns,

first in flashes and splashes,

later in vibrant moments,

and finally, the light of love

colorizes our total perception,

all of  it: we, it, they are alive

in light and wonderful color.

 

Then, only then do we understand

the true potential of existence;

then, and only then, do we know

Divine life, which is the very

radiance and colors of love,  

of full compassionate human,

being; of perfect life alive.

Life is a process of evolving from our

comfortable, steady, safe state – when our

Souls awake full of the desire for freshness,

new air to breathe, a better vantage point,

a more prominent placement; and before

we know it; we are shedding the dry and

brittle skin of our current inhabitance,

preparing to swap it all for the moist

and fragrant wrapping of more appropriate

existence, as we open ourselves up to the

newness – knowing full well that this

is our destiny - to advance is sublime,

to refuse is to deteriorate.

 

Let us grab hold of the day, this day,

and shake the very life out of it.

 

THE PROSPECT OF NEWNESS

Let us open ourselves up to the prospect

of newness, waiting there right around

the corner for us to arrive when days

no longer follow a predestined pattern,

but must be explored, tried on for size,

given a whirl.

 

It is precisely these moments when

we are most alive and aware with our

autopilot disengaged – our insight

and inspiration sparking dormant

creative urges, our Souls reconnecting

with more authentic intentions.

 

As we are given the opportunity

to shed the skin of our prior life,

let us embrace the transformation,

opening our hearts and minds

with joy and positive expectation,

ready to be empowered, to grow again,

encountering ourselves once more –

refreshed, fully alive, and awakened.

A MORE FERVENT EXISTENCE/THE CRYSTAL SELF - INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

My spiritual guidance, which usually appears

in the form of Notes On Enlightenment,

Affirmative Thoughts, or Poems/Prayers –

for the most part, seem to be focused on

supporting the writing of  Finding God On

The Train Story – The Book and explaining

the Crystal Path paradigm.

 

Sometimes I am reminded of the central theme

of FGOTT – the emergence of the Crystal Self,

as outlined below and featured in Chapter Six

titled the Seven Facets of Crystal Consciousness,

available under the Book Chapters tab on the

righthand sidebar of the blog, 

 

Recently,  I recorded the following inspired

guidance.

 

A MORE FERVENT EXISTENCE

Let us today release our worldly desires

and expectations, shifting instead to our

more innate spiritual intentions, those

based on qualities of character and

disposition rather than blunt action or

simple achievement: love, well being,

compassion, flourishing.

 

As we turn our focus from practicality,

towards soulful expansion, stretching

our sense and sensibilities, realizing

we truly have more to offer than mere

impression, let us rise to our level of

greatest possibility.

 

Are we not alive and present for a higher

purpose, to foster a greater good, to water

and grow seeds of expanded capacity,

a more fervent existence, one more divine

then practical, transcendent, and other

reaching.

AT G. 6.14.2015

 

As outlined in the book rolling out on the

righthand sidebar of the blog, enlightenment

is described as living an authentic life,

when our spiritual self, our divine self, is fully 

aligned and merged with our physical self –

divine and secular – spiritual and physical –

moving in unison and perfect harmony,

which equals total self-actualization.

 

The guidance instructs us that an authentic

life – an enlightened life – is one that

recognizes our spiritual destiny, as well 

as our earth bound form destiny –

maximizing the full potential of our lives

and resulting in joy, peace, love, and 

happiness – heaven on earth; that is,

enlightenment.

 

I believe that the Affirmative Thought

above is set to remind me, once again,

of this central mission in the quest for

a positive, personal, and contemplative

spirituality, as outlined in  the note below

titled Crystal Self:

  

CRYSTAL SELF

The Crystal Self is the Divine Self – the Divine Soul

within you that is connected to infinite intelligence

and the power of God. It is your Soul - like a crystal –  

hard and durable – capable of growing and becoming

more. Through the crystal, all light passes and

becomes more, unfolding into a spectrum of a full life.

 

The Crystal of the Divine Self has always existed,

and will always exist, and is the essence of your Soul

spiritually evolving and becoming. The reason for

your existence is to rediscover this Crystal Self, follow

its path, and become one with your Divine Self/Soul

and begin to grow again, drawing strength and

power from your connection with the Infinite

Source, Spirit – God.

 

Cherish the Crystal Self and follow the path back

to your true consciousness – unreflected,

unexpected by the ego – which is constantly

forming and reforming to scare away and deal

with the threats of the world.

 

The path to enlightenment is the Crystal Path –

the path to the Divine you.

I believe, just beneath the drone of our endless

mind chatter exists the inspired voices of our

divine guides and teachers, who along with God

itself, all sincerely attempt to reach us, like coaches

and parents on the sidelines at a little league game,

earnestly trying to get our attention, hoping to

impart not only well-meaning but sincerely

needed advice and guidance.

 

Yes, I believe the user manual for our existence

comes with audio, along with our own coaches,

if we will believe and listen. Since I spent most

of my life missing this point, I now carefully

document what I consider the inspired guidance

I receive and publish it here on the blog.

 

To accomplish this, all we must do is prayerfully

ask for assistance and listen.

 

DIVINE INSPIRATION

Stand firm in your convictions; undaunted

by the opinions, advice, or well-meaning

guidance of others; know even when life

seems most confusing, divine inspiration

will lead you, carefully, to the destiny

that waits.

 

Proceed with confidence, surefooted and 

full balanced, aware that your preparation,

intense and sincere, will see you above

and beyond any roadblock, any challenge,

any distress.

 

With a clear heart and a focused mind,

appropriately aligned to receive what

has been prepared for you, allowing

the universe to deliver your good fortune,

realizing the bounty will be plentiful,

the timing impeccable, the potential,

unlimited.

All of life is easy, peaceful, and simple,

do not create it otherwise. Find its meter,

its pace, proceeding with its cadence –

alive and rightfully enchanted, knowing

this is your destiny, your purpose.

 

Allow what is to be, paying no heed to

what is not; listen for the stirrings and

yearnings of a clearer being, a more

precious progression, accept and

approach, in sync with the tune,

the tone, the stream of quiet wonder

waiting for your soul.

 

It is here within this pasture of serenity,

all will be, or even not be, what matters

is what is – soft, sincere, secure – ingest

its every sound, its aliveness and proceed.

BETWEEN WAS AND WILL BE

It is truly in these moments of active

change when our lives appear to be

most confusing – even when our

direction ahead is well planned and

worked out – the strings of our old

life refuse to give – stretching taut –

pulling us into reminiscing, reminding.

 

These times betwixt require active

mental diligence, clarifying our thoughts,

recognizing when wishful sentiment

has clouded the realities we sought

to change and amend by setting

this fresh course.

 

Let us, during this time between

was and will be, recollect our well

forged intentions; far from arbitrary –

fully vetted and meticulously considered,

knowing what may pluck the heart

strings upon leaving, just as handily

stretched our patience and restrained

our well-being, our flourishing.

Perhaps we have become too tame,

too civilized, too cultured; and in our

indoctrination, perhaps, we have lost

sight of who we are, unable to fully howl,

to roar, to dance to the ecstasy of  being. 

 

REFUSING TO BE TAMED 

Let us sit upon this universal

life and breathe freely,

for we are alive, flourishing,

enormously prepared to enjoy

each moment, celebrate every

gesture, announce to the skies

our destiny, our purpose,

unwilling to stand solemnly

or in repose; instead, joyfully

flinging our every limb,

physically testifying to the

eternal truth of our being –

aliveness so worthy and strong,

we, the participants, the bearers

of connected existence –

God’s chosen, everyone alike,

refusing to be tamed.
