Opening Your Heart and Mind
Written by Todd Puntolillo
Noting my yearning to reach beyond early limitations brought me to a new mental and spiritual space.
THESE ARE MY EVOLVING DEFINITIONS
God: NOT a big bearded man in the sky. The “All-There-is,” Creator, Source and Universe is not a limited human being.
Words cannot describe God, but some words describe the nature or an aspect, such as: Law (the basis of life and creation), Mind (Wisdom and Intelligence), Life (our very being) Soul or Spirit (our very nature and connection), Truth (that spans the entire Universe), our Source (of everything there is,) Father/Mother, the One, yet All there is. More than this, God is Love.
All of these words/phrases (and many other) are interchangeable. There is no antonym in reality because there is no other Life nor Power. God is the Source of All Reality. Reality is invisible to limited belief. The illusions of evil, disease, and death vanish in the light of Truth, the Truth that we are made of the only building block there is—this same Origin and Cause—called by many, God.
“Energy: Light vibrates, sound vibrates, thought vibrates, atoms and so-called matter vibrate. An atom is made of space, some electrons which are magnetic impulses (feminine and attracting), offset by some protons (masculine, radiant) and transparent neutrons. We now surmise all form to be vibration perceptible by our physical and spiritual senses. You and I are pure energy and live in an energy world. Energy is Intelligence. It is the Source of All Life. It is the essence of All There Is. Many of us call it Universal Life Force. It is pliable by thought and it moves with our breath. Energy always moves.
Consciousness: Universal Intelligence. In relative terms, a way of thinking, an awareness, a mindset. Consciousness is thought-energy. It is what we use to create the world in which we live. In absolute terms, Consciousness is where we live and move and have our being. Consciousness is All There Is.
Our task is to evolve our relative thinking back to the Original Consciousness through love and total surrender to Spirit.
This means loving your way back to reality.
“We can evolve no further than our beliefs will allow. To the degree we see perfection in all life; to that degree do we raise our consciousness to a place of Love’s highest vibrational energy.
THE OBSTACLES: The false beliefs that…
(a) We are separate.
(b) Infinite Spirit is distant instead of being our very lives.
(c) We are better or worse than others.
(d) There is a power to oppose Life .
(e) We are inadequate to live our lives and make intelligent choices.
(f) We need the approval of someone else to be valuable.
(g) We are powerless.
All of these "obstacles" are a form of illusion. Our objective need be only this:
To love and trust more each day.
This would raise the vibration of our relative consciousness so that we resonate with Spiritual Harmony. When we hate, fear, resent and doubt, we restrict our thinking (therefore our experience) from the upward path to that place of perfection from which we originated. The objective is to be of One Mind with the Universe and thereby bring heaven (harmony) to earth (visibility). The obstacles are many, but they are subject to our choices and universal grace.
We are here to be happy!To live and prosper in the glory of Divine Love!”
I cannot teach you how to love. I cannot teach you how to have faith or how to trust the Power Within. I cannot make you wise. I can only offer you words from my experience and study, but the only way you will be wise is if you accept Spiritual Truth into your heart by seeking its meaning and using its energy to assist you in making spiritually healthy choices. Choose wisdom and enlightenment and choose them now for a happy, fulfilling life.
