Creation

There is one essential reason why there is so much constant heartache and war on this earth, and why conflict has continued as it has down through the ages. The answer may surprise you. We do not understand the nature of our own pain -- our suffering. Billions of us live with almost no understanding of how much hurt lies hidden in our hearts and minds; in this case, ignorance is not bliss.

We are made in the image of the Divine. Now, that doesn't mean all that we hope it means. It actually means more than that! It means that you and I, as humans, exist in a temporal form that is, for all intents and purposes, a place where a host of magnificent laws and forces converge. Opposing forces reconcile and create a body that is essentially the mirror of a set of perfect opposites -- right hand, left hand, right eye, left eye.

What is this power that can show us the truth behind the mystery of who and what we are - even as it gives us everything we need to know? A few examples from the history of human discovery prove helpful in our inquiry...

Would you like to make the most out of every moment of your life? If we want to make the most out of every moment of our life, we have to let every moment in our life touch us. We have to learn to listen to it, to receive it. If we want to be lifted by it, we have to let it hold us. But instead of being touched by moments, we're touched by thought. We're touched by irritation...

Topics covered: The greatest joy in life is to realize ourselves as the experience of creation itself; The happiest moments in my life are when I experience life as it's being given, which is meant to be an unending process; At a certain point in our lives it becomes evident that what I do and create and manifest are not enough. It's an endless race; We can't change the situations we have in life...

Topics covered:  A key does not do any good if it stays in your pocket and if you don't put in the lock and turn it. Likewise, if you don't prove true spiritual ideas for yourself, then the ideas can become worse than useless; What is the one thing that never comes to your mind when you find yourself in a negative state?... That you could actually be interested in what you have no interest in. Our interest is usually in what we have to do in order to escape from the negativity; We are not rightly interested in our suffering. We are wrongly interested in what to do about it. What would happen if we could actually be interested in what we usually have no interest in?

Learn to be still and listen: the less you have to say about life, the more Life will speak to you, and start telling you things that ears can't hear.

Topics covered:  A lesson comes along on the back of events to help you see something about yourself that you had never seen before; Weakness passes itself off as strength, which the moment comes along to reveal as false; We never question why we live with worry and struggle in order to arrive at a life free from worry and struggle.

Topics covered:  For things to change, familiar reactions need to be met with something different than what you usually meet them with. You are going to have to meet the moment with something that does not repeat itself; You are going to have to change that moment as you enter into it, not after it has happened; The Divine junction is the place where the Will of Heaven touches the will of earth.

Topics covered:  People go into pain over being told that their pain is self-inflicted; Most of us are more interested in trying to answer our pain (resolve it) than in understanding it; The very last thing that a human being wants to do is give up their suffering.

Topics covered: Light is always acting on matter to change it into a different form. The Will of Heaven is never not acting upon the will of the earth; We are made in the image of that which made the world. We are a microcosm of the macrocosmic life; We are meant to use the world as the mirror that it is, in which there is an awareness of Creator and creation, without needing to think about it...
