The great conscious awareness that gives us our being- that which we often call God- is also the Source of all forms. That Source is unfathomably loving! Thus, the deepest root of all things- every single thing- is Love. This can sometimes be extremely hard to see here while our awareness is constrained to the experience of physical reality. Yet, no matter where we are, if we ever totally let go, we immediately begin to move away from the confusion of form and toward the constant foundation of God’s love that endures beneath every surface.

Love is our source and our nature. Love the substance from which all experience is built. Love is our challenge, our desire, our unavoidable destination. Love is the answer.

A man I admire once said something to the effect of: physical incarnation is like holding a pea between two fingers and squeezing down on it to force the pea core out of the skin. It can’t go up, it can’t go down, but it’s gotta go somewhere- so the pea just shoots out in some wild direction.

Being physical imposes all sorts of perceived constraints upon us, per the rule-set of this physical reality. We experience the physical constraints of having to live, think, and function with a body of flesh. We experience social constraints as we are affected by the choices and actions of those around us. We experience resource constraints as we strive to support our wants and needs. We experience time constraints. And we experience communication constraints, as we are limited to crude words and bodily movement in our communication with one another.

Yet all of these constraints are meant to allow us to experience a truer and much more fundamental set of constraints: our inner constraints. The feelings and thoughts that arise in response to our physical constraints cause us to enter into a complex jungle of seemingly forced self discovery. The world seems to take our money- we feel powerless. The world seems to thwart our relationships- we feel lonely. The world seems to bring disease to our body- we feel pain. We typically perceive all these conditions as negative. And yet, hidden in them is the very meaning and power of the physical experience- for they allow us the opportunity to actually better ourselves.

In Amy Call’s NDE she recounts that a wise being who had mastered humility was gathered among many spirits who would benefit from learning it. He said to her (without words) something to the effect of, “All I can do is plant a seed of interest for them to learn it for themselves. Without a physical body they cannot grow in that way. They need the contrast of the physical experience to learn it.”

Let us take a fresh look then at the contrasts in our lives! Every pain, every challenge, every quandary holds a bountiful treasure- if we are willing to truly, fearless venture inward to discover what it is about ourselves that the experience challenges. Seek out your negative self-perceptions, and meet them. Seek out your pains, and feel them. Seek out your demons, and hug them. Seek out your fears, and sit with them fully. For such is the reason you have come to this place of apparent limitations.

You can’t fully explain Reality by pointing to metaphors (including words or ideas). You can’t explain the Whole by pointing at the part. Since the Whole is consciousness, the Whole can only be fully identified as it is experienced as consciousness. When one is experiencing form- that is, differentiation of any kind- one is not experiencing the Whole. Take care then when attempting to explain some things by using other things- any time you are doing that, you are not fully explaining Big Truth, or All That Is.

We often think we are not accomplishing anything when we’re not doing anything. And we often think that when we’re not doing anything, nothing is happening. Neither is true. Our very being exists on a level that transcends all elements of the physical experience. We can move around the physical props all we would like, and in one sense we are doing little more than modifying pretend objects in a video game.

The real action takes place in consciousness. The real change occurs within consciousness. The real scene is the landscape of the spirit. And thus our accomplishment in this life is not measured in physical objects moved around on the stage of life, but rather, in the lasting impact we leave with others and within ourselves.

We are here to Love! Loving another conscious being is a true accomplishment. Conquering one’s own fear so that one may be more vulnerable and loving is a true accomplishment. As attested to by thousands of those who have seen the other side (“NDE’ers”), the success of our life is in how much we have loved- not in what we have physically achieved. So take one moment today to do something truly loving for yourself or for another- for even if it may seem small, it is the very reason the universe is here for you.

My name is Christian, and I’d like to extend a warm welcome to you!

My intention with this blog is to provide SHORT, bite-sized contemplations for the purpose of encouraging YOUR spiritual walk- whatever that may be. There are no specific beliefs or dogmas required here- simply a desire to reach beyond the physical experience you are now having.
