Energy Anatomy.
We all have to surrender our need for our world to be ordered according to our conceptions of justice, logic, and rational motives. Just as you must have realized by now that your world does not, in fact, revolve around you – that you have very little authority over your life and that even making it alive until sundown is not in your hands – you must reach the stage of spiritual maturity where you surrender to God.
How does the grace of wisdom serve the Intellectual? Wisdom calls you to think twice before doing harm to another person. It is that voice inside you that in the midst of emotional conflict whispers, “Are you sure you want to say that? Because if you do your relationship may change forever.” Wisdom inspires you to consider the consequences of your choices – their effect on your life and the lives of others.
The lessons of truth you’ve acquired are your wisdom jewels. Wisdom is often hidden underneath our greatest hardships, and it is the Intellectual who understands that the search for wisdom is the true path to healing.
Sometimes the elements of our life present us with a challenge that is an initiation in disguise, a fire walk that burns your lower nature right out of you so that you are able to adapt to a higher level of consciousness.
The lesson for the Intellectual is never to invest so much of yourself in any situation that you are willing to compromise your integrity in order to maintain the illusion. Once that cycle begins, it is nearly impossible to release yourself from it. The Intellectual frees herself from the shadow by knowing who she is at all times and living from her truth.
Of all the mind games you could play in life, the most important is this one: always tell the truth to others and to yourself.
Grace is the breath of God – an invisible essence beyond intellect that moves swiftly amongst us. It is not only possible to become a living conduit of this powerful force, grace is immediately accessible to us along with the courage to follow divine guidance.
Spiritual transformation results when you move from seeing things strictly in physical, material terms to seeing that there are reasons why things happen as they do – that there is a greater plan behind them.
Living in harmony with truth means you are not harboring secrets or hiding behind old wounds, not betraying yourself or others.
Yet the truth is that healing and change are one and the same thing. They are composed of the same energy, and we cannot seek to heal an illness without first looking into what behavioral patterns and attitudes need to be altered in our life. Once those characteristics are identified, we have to do something about those patterns. This requires taking action, and action brings about change.
For reasons having largely to do with conflicting political agendas and fourteen centuries of animosity between Muslims, Christians, and Jews, we also have a distorted impression of the teachings of Islam. The fact is that Islamic teachings are based on the same moral and ethical principles that lie at the heart of both Judaism and Christianity.
We do indeed weave our spirit to the events and relationships of our lives. Life is as simple as that.
Our individual souls hum actively within a kind of global soul comprising all life on the planet. Our words, thoughts, deeds, and visions influence our individual health just as they affect the health of everyone around us. As a vital part of a larger, universal spirit, we each have been put here on earth to fulfill a Sacred Contract that enhances our personal spiritual growth while contributing to the evolution of the entire global soul.
Remaining obsessively angry makes you more likely to develop a disease because the energy consequence of a negative obsession is powerlessness.
Always, a shift in awareness includes a period of isolation and loneliness as one gets accustomed to the new level of truth. And then always, new companions are found. No one is left alone for long.
The expression “If you can’t love yourself, you can’t love anyone else” is commonplace. Yet for many people loving oneself remains a vague notion.
The word deserve causes immeasurable pain.
After all, who are you that the world should make sense to you?
Those who are in a spiritual crisis, however, have a feeling that something is trying to wake up inside them. They just don’t know how to see it.
The chakra system is an archetypal depiction of individual maturation through seven distinct stages. The chakras are vertically aligned, running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, suggesting that we ascend toward the Divine by gradually mastering the seductive pull of the physical world. At each stage we gain a more refined understanding of personal and spiritual power, since each chakra represents a spiritual life-lesson or challenge common to all human beings.
