CIRCLE OF BEAUTY - NOTES ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

The circle has such a powerful spiritual and secular

sense to it - “the circle of life," the “circle will be

unbroken," or the Native American Indian’s focus

on “The Greater Circle,” as outlined in Michael 

Garrett’s book on the Cherokee Teachings for

Harmony and Balance, titled Walking On The Wind.

Garrett quotes the great Medicine Man, Black Elk,

who states:

 

You have noticed that everything an Indian

does is in a circle, and that is because the

Power of the World always works in circles…

 

In this featured Meditation Guidance, titled 

Circle Of Beauty, the unique spiritual nature

of the circle is touched upon, along with its 

connection to God and the soul.

 

CIRCLE OF BEAUTY 

The circle is the center of the soul and all creation,

the symbol of all life, all being, of the completion

of all existence. The circle is strong but flexible

and, although it can be increased or reduced in

size, it always maintains an outside, an inside,

and the line separating the two.

 

Your life is like a circle with the essence of you 

within the circle surrounded by the world and 

God, which gives you form. God is also with you

within the circle and gives form to the circle as

the external ring.

 

The circle is perfect, beautiful, and sacred.

The circle is power.  The circle is peace.

The circle is a spiritual symbol and provides

the healing which is needed. Consider the 

strength of a ring; the circle cannot be pulled

apart end by end; it must be forced apart with 

great strength. Every cell of the circle has a

vested interest in its own existence.

 

The circle of beauty is the circle of life, alive,

flourishing, creating and becoming as God 

assists and supports - circles of healing,  

circles of prayer, circles of forgiveness, 

circles of faith, circles of love, circles of

magnificence – form these circles:

comprehend the circle, and you will

understand God.

ALLOW - RELEASE - LISTEN

Today, allow the answers to unfold –

as you are fully aware that only good

can appear as a result – as the perfect

and best solution manifests itself in

your life – step back – letting it all happen

at the appropriate and proper time.

 

Today, release your grip on the wheel

and surrender control, knowing you

have done all that can be done – knowing

it is now time to rest, to refresh, and

reenergize for the journey ahead.

 

Today, listen to your heart as it lays

out the foundation of your dreams,

realizing it knows where each brick

should be laid, each board nailed,

each splash of color applied – trusting

in the divine architect of all positive

life to answer your prayers.

Ann had lunch with an old friend a while back

when his family was visiting from out of town.

The friend's sister mentioned that she subscribed

to my blog and read my posts. The sister said that

she enjoyed the blog, but that some of my posts

were rather "far out." Well, hold on, here is one

of those "far out" posts.

 

I woke up this morning with the phrase - "conduit

of consciousness" -  reaching meme proportions

in my mind. Since I fell asleep reading Joel S.

Goldsmith's book - A Parenthesis In Eternity -  

just offered as an iBook, I was not overly

surprised.

 

To be exact, I decided to look up the definition

of "conduit" and found the following:

1. a channel for conveying water or other fluid:

2. a person or organization that acts as a channel

    for the transmission of something:

3. a tube or trough for protecting electric wiring. 

 

With definition number two in hand, I decided

that this would be a great topic to review during

meditation, and when I was  about to enter the

silence, I asked for clarification. I received the

Meditation Guidance below and at first glance,

it is not anything startlingly new, and in truth has

been a recurring theme as outlined in the book.

 

What is noteworthy, at least to me, is the concept

that within God-consciousness, all existence, 

along with all human history, is simultaneous;

that is occurring at the same time. If I understand

this from a personal level, all phases of my life

or your life, or existence, is being viewed or

experienced from God's perspective at the same

time, or in unison - past, present, and future

as one. I guess  this is what being "omniscient" 

means. 

 

I will further explore what all this means in

my upcoming book chapter focused on God

Consciousness, but for now, I believe under-

standing this concept will give us additional

insight into communicating effectively with

God.  As the note reflects, we each have an

individualized message waiting for us in the

silence. 

  

CONDUIT OF GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS

What does it mean to be a conduit of consciousness?

The path or approach to Divine connection is

only available from within, through personal

consciousness. This connection is forged through

centering the soul and with all other internal

forces in check, expanding human consciousness

into the realm of divine or God-consciousness.  

It is an organized expansion accomplished 

through silence, listening for the still, small

force within.

 

The guidance you seek is always available,

the answers have been prepared for an eternity

waiting for this intended interaction. Often

your mind inhibits this connection with storms

of  thought  breaking up this signal and leaving

only static.

 

Allow the words to flow through you unaltered,

taking each one at a time, allowing each to find

its cadence and the meaning it strives to share.

No need to worry about missing the message

since it always lies in waiting for the proper time.

Realize you, and you alone, are the conduit to this

message – since within God-consciousness all

existence, all history happens concurrently,

not sequentially, with past, present, and future

distinctions unnecessary – given that simultaneous

existence is conceivable and understandable.

 

All is always present in the perpetual now of God-

consciousness.

 

Simply, within the silence, listen for the message.

It awaits your attentive soul.

Positivity is at the center of New Thought and

our very well-being. We must remind ourselves

that our possibilities and opportunities increase

with positive thought, and correspondingly,

decrease when we focus on the negative.

 

I offer this Affirmative Thought below as

a reminder for all of us to focus on heartfelt,

positive expressions today, and when needed,

weeding the garden of our minds.

 

HEARTFELT EXPRESSIONS

With positive spirits and open minds

    today, let us grasp the energy and flow

        of goodness in the world, perceiving

the hand and the touch of God's grace

    in all we encounter.

 

With positive thoughts and  firm resolve

    today, let us tend to the garden of our

        minds, weeding out the negative

perceptions, wrong thinking, and false

    assumptions; replacing each with loving,

        kind and nurturing sentiments.

 

With positive visions and images today,

    let us reframe our stories, re-envision

        our prospects, recreating a present and

future worthy of our active living, founded

    in authentic pursuits constructed with

        heartfelt expressions, supporting

our flourishing magnificence,

    our soaring transcendence.

There are times when I receive a note,

such as the one below, which I am

pushed to convey as if someone is

waiting for it's message. Since I have

nothing of significance, I might offer

by way of further comment, I will step

back and allow the tangible sentiment

of this note to be voiced.

  

GOD’S GRACE IN ACTION

Redemption, resurrection, renewal –

the path of God’s grace in action,

the cleansing of what needs to be washed

away and forgiven; enabling a return

to the original purpose and intention

of being, able again to be unbounded,

now ready to live as ordained;

with a sense of renewed determination,

enthusiasm, and momentum.

 

Each of us has the capability to redeem

and to be redeemed, to face the tarnished

perception of our desires gone awry,

reaching our hands into the fount of God’s

mercy, restoring what was perceived

as lost, yet merely forgotten, now awaited.

 

Each of us has the capacity for resurrection,

even after the most undeserving experience,

no further suffering required, the need

for further punishment giving way to a chance

for complete forgiveness and restoration.

 

Each of us has the compassion and love

of God to fathom an appropriate renewal,

one that announces the clarification

of Divinely guided and cocreated intention,

a time to soar again, to flourish once more,

to truly celebrate the magnificence

of being alive, whole and transcendent.

THE INVISIBLE LIFT

At peace, let us experience the gifts of this

day, spreading our wings so we may soar

high above all that might have mistakenly

captured our attention, and in this angelic

flight pay heed to our own divinity.

 

Here, high above, there is no reasonable

doubt or question, just the sounds of life

rushing around us, through us, a simple

oneness, wholeness, unity – who are we

to claim distinction as we admire this

dance of angels.

 

So now, as we stand perched, transfixed

upon this peak of possibility, feeling th

momentum surge within our awakened

souls, with wings fully stretched to grasp

the invisible lift always present to carry

us onward and upward.
