There is Nothing More Natural Than Spirit
Nothing is more natural than Spirit...this is a statement directly from my Guides as I contemplated a "healthier choice" 2009 (on multiple levels). Healthy lifestyles, exercise, organic foods and nutritional diets, meditation and study may all contribute to an overall state of wellness. However, if your Spirit is weak, sick or damaged, it will manifest as physical and/or emotional illness, abnormality, anomaly or dis-ease. This is a natural digression of the human condition, just as, conversely spiritual evolution and growth promotes physical health and wellness.
Teilhard de Chardin wrote, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” We are not just humans walking a spiritual obstacle course, but eternal spiritual beings walking a worldly path in order to learn lessons and evolve toward the Divine. Our souls are holographic images of that Divine Essence and a reflection of Universal Knowledge and Healing. When we know what we truly are, we then have the capability to tap into that Divine Essence, Universal Knowledge and true Healing that is derived not so much from learning as from “remembering.” This is also a key to the manifesting process, to align with the Divine.
Everything in Nature has Spirit, whether you prefer to call it an essence, life force, soul or just energy. Quantum physics has proven that all things created has this same core energy at an atomic/molecular level, evincing that all creation comes from the same Source. Again, whether you call this source God, Creator, Higher Intelligence or any other similar name, it really doesn't matter. What matters is that it is clear that we humans are energetically and/or spiritually connected, not only to each other, but to the entire Universe and everything created, which is a core Native (Shamanic) belief, a fundamental spiritual Truth and now a scientific fact.
All things are linked together as if interweaved into an enormous cosmic spider web. As such, the cosmic, universal, spiritual laws in effect then influence and impact all things just as the physical law of gravity affects all things to some extent. The Butterfly Effect is a genuine concept of Cause and Effect, as whatever we do, think or say affects all those around us, especially those closest to us; and on a larger scale may then also impact Nature, the Planet and even the Universe. Parenthetically, what we do, think, or say can also come back around to impact us directly--that law of Karma.
As part of the Oneness, then, we are all bound, influenced and governed by Spiritual, Cosmic and Universal Law—just as our biological aspects are bound by physics; e.g., gravity and aging. The natural laws are actually manifestations of the spiritual laws, and thus, they are not diametrically opposed to each other, but work in tandem perfectly within the Divine Order. Violation of, resistance to, or lack of harmony with these Spiritual Laws can and will manifest adverse effects in this physical world in which we exist…including sickness or dis-ease or attracting things in life to us that are not necessarily pleasant to experience—the law of Attraction.
Mastering the knowledge of these laws enhance our worldly walk here in this physical reality. What is put into place in the ethereal, energetic or spiritual realm will manifest here in this 3D physical world. Spiritually based Intuitive Counseling is geared toward teaching these Universal Laws so that you can understand them and how they affect your life. Such Laws include those also taught in the ancient mysteries, such as the laws of Karma (cause and effect); Attraction; Polarity (opposites); Correspondence; Ebb and Flow; and of course, Love, Forgiveness, Gratitude and Release.
The Trumps 1 Card of the Tarot’s Major Arcana, The Magician, is often interpreted in a reading as “manifesting” or willing an outcome because we are the masters of our own microcosm. We are magicians with the magic of spiritual law at our disposal to help aid and assist us in this walk. The symbolism of this card espouses the concepts of the Hermetic Code derived from the Book of Thoth by Hermes Trismegistus, an ancient Egyptian priest: As above, so below; as within, so without; as the soul, so the Universe. We outwardly manifest from within. We attract to us what we radiate or “put out there,” either positive or negative.
“Know thyself and thou shall know the universe”. The Kybalion, the Oracle of Delphi, Socrates, and Plato all stressed and taught this precept of “knowing thyself.” The Kabbalah and various versions of the Tree of Life (and associated cross-culture symbolism) all refer to the connection between the Heavenly Realm and the Physical World. These are just some examples of the precepts prescribed and taught by the ancient mysteries schools, mystics, oracles and master teachers--principles known as truths long before any organized religions. This speaks to the fact that we are all of the Totality of Creation, the Oneness of the Source-Creator-God.
So we must know ourselves in order to know our divine origins, to understand the spiritual laws that govern our physical lives and reality, and to manifest or write our own scripts as we evolve to a higher state. Sadly, most of what we have been taught, programmed to think, believe and feel, are just totally wrong. We are divine beings born of the light; yet we are told from day one in our existence that we are not worthy of such a designation. We are chastised when we rock the boat of society or religion with “new age” thinking or unconventional beliefs that mirror the original mystical and spiritual Truth rather than the dogma of religion or the standards of our society.
We are forced to compromise what our soul feels as true in order to conform to what society, culture or even family deem as appropriate behavior. We program our children to deny what they see and know and feel when they first incarnate here, while they are still “fresh” in spirit and connected to the Source. How then can we expect to “know thyself” when we are programmed with erroneous belief systems that are handed down from generation to generation, and justified as “that is how it’s always been?”
Knowing thyself is the first step in your evolutionary process; to recognize that most of your preconceived notions and instilled belief systems simply do not apply to your spiritual growth and healing. To know yourself is the first step in finding your true path (The Fool Card, Major Arcana 0 of the Tarot) and gaining as much knowledge as you can along the way. There is no quick fix or one-time healing; there is only a series of moments that flow together; there are subsequent lessons to learn along the way; there is only an ongoing education and evolution; there is only one healing after another. There is not a destination per; only the journey.
That said, it should then be clear that self-improvement lends toward planetary and even universal improvement. Healing of oneself contributes directly to healing those around us and healing Mother Earth as well. Know thyself and know the Universe...so, heal thyself and heal the Planet might be added to this precept. It all starts with you. You have to take care of yourself, just as a mother on an airplane must first take the oxygen mask so she capable of protecting her young, you must protect and heal yourself first before you can protect or heal or care for others and the planet.
Take the first step to really know yourself and your divine counterpart, and initiate a truly natural and divine lifestyle that will facilitate wellness across the board for you and those you love. Let me introduce you to the ghost in your machine: Allow me to introduce you to your Self.
