Beyond
We live in such delusion. Every day. We stand in the presence of miracles, of the infinite complexity of life, of the insane probabilities of anything even existing. While we fill our heads with knowledge that we claim to understand, we blind our mind’s eye to a much greater reality than we are prepared to accept.
That there is so much more that we don’t know, that we can’t see, and that we can’t experience with our basic five senses.
And we run from the truth; that ‘out there’ is so much greater than what we have ‘in here’.
Why do we struggle sometimes to feel the waves of possibility stream through us? For all that has happened to me, both good and bad, I fight daily to see the potential that is before me, and within me, rather than accept the lies that my fears display across my soul. Yet sometimes it is so very hard to believe in what could be when we are surrounded by what currently is.
So we have to change our manner of seeing; moving away from our eyes, and into our souls.
And using our soul vision, we can see past all the weaknesses and wounds that hold us back, subtly whispering lies of destruction in our darkest hours. When we perceive with our spiritual gifts, we can begin to comprehend the majesty that is the human spirit, the awesome truth of our intelligence and the singular yet completely connected entity that is both us and everything.
If we truly see beyond our eyes, we will cast off this darkness and find the light that was always present, merely hidden from view because we looked rather than saw, perceived rather than experienced.
In our darkest hours, when the light seems to have failed us, it’s easy to become discouraged and see a future that only contains pain, suffering, darkness and sadness. It can take incredible amounts of courage to face all that the world has to throw at us, and still believe in the goodness, the potential, the possibility, the power and the majesty that life can bring.
Sometimes it requires you to believe in yourself, when that’s the last thing that you want to do.
Often, the one who obstructs the light is the very one trying to see.
Today, I ask you to focus with me on the things that could be, the possibilities available in the universe, and the infinite potential that belongs to each of us through the gift of awareness. I invite you to close your eyes that you might see in vision rather than in light, and stretch your awareness out into the universe so that you might create something from nothing, and bring into existence that which began only in your soul.
For truly this world, this realm, this universe, is responsive to your soul, your energy and your vibration. When you can go beyond now, into the ‘now that is next’, you can influence the future, and possibly even the past, in ways that you cannot comprehend, but can only experience.
You just have to be willing to move beyond the lies of your fears, and into the possibilities of your potential.
