Today's meditation is yet another reminder that we are not our bodies, contrary to what we are likely to believe. Here is our mantra for today's practice periods:
Spirit am I, a holy Son of God, free of all limits, safe and healed and whole, free to forgive, and free to save the world.
Let's dissect this wondrous statement phrase by phrase, so that we may yield a better understanding of the concepts therein.
Spirit am I - I am spirit. We are all spirit. Yet because we live in a physical world, we often forget this truth. If we were just a body, we would not have the capability to dream up the marvelous ideas that have become some of our world's greatest achievements: The Sistine Chapel, Beethoven's symphonies, the works of William Shakespeare, the invention of the light bulb - these are but a few of the beautiful expressions of humankind that would have never been possible if we were "just a body." Each one of us is a soul yearning to explore this playground of our planet and make itself known. The body is merely our tool to do just that.
a holy Son of God - As discussed yesterday, we are all God's Children. Combined, we are His Son, the Chosen One, the Savior of our world. Though we appear as billions of different people and even further still as the myriad life forms that roam this planet, we are but reflections of one another. God has only One Son, and we are all it, being expressed in an infinite number of ways. Because we were created by God, and because we have been imbued with the ability to create ourselves, we are indeed Holy.
free of all limits - By the sheer fact that we have the gift of creating ourselves anew in a multitude of shapes, sizes and life-forms, we can certainly consider ourselves free of all limits. This may not appear to be so in the lives we are living now, but on the scale of Eternity, we have no limits whatsoever. Once we lay our current bodies aside, we can decide to become the rain, the wind, a buzzing beetle or an alien on another planet. There are no limits on what we can create. And in God's eyes, which can only see Infinity in the construct of Here and Now, we have already done it all. Every possibility has already manifested, and we are the fortunate beings who can experience those possibilities whenever we so choose.
safe and healed and whole - We have always been safe, even when we have perceived otherwise. Nothing in this world can harm us. Pain is our body's reaction to physical trauma, but the spirit can never be bruised. When we feel fearful, angry, guilty or alone, we have simply forgotten where our True Home is. We are forever safe in God's loving arms. When we remember this, we are healed. We are whole indefinitely, for we never could be apart from one another, even when it appears as though we are separate from each other on this physical plane of existence. Even here, there is an invisible force connecting us all to one another. This is the Holy Spirit, ensuring that we never leave our Source - God, our Creator.
free to forgive - We must forgive if we are to bring this world Peace. Forgiveness is Love, and it is how we experience authentic Joy. If we are all connected, then holding any grievance against another will only hurt ourselves. Forgiveness is recognizing the Light of God in every person, in every walk of life, in every situation. It is how we will lift up our collective Whole and bring Salvation to the world. This brings us to the last portion of our meditation today:
free to save the world - Of course, since in Reality there is no time, our world is already saved. Yet since we have elected to experience our lives as we are living them now on this planet, we must also make the conscious choice to save our world if we want to see Salvation unfold before our eyes. This is why we are "free" to do so, but it is not a demand. God has given us free will in order to create as He does. The question is: Do we want to experience the Joy and Peace of a world that has been healed by our heightened spiritual consciousness through Forgiveness? Or do we want to perceive that we all remain stubbornly rooted in our separatist ideas while animosity leads to war and results in the disintegration of our global community? We are free to decide.
Spirit am I, a holy Son of God, free of all limits, safe and healed and whole, free to forgive, and free to save the world.
Let us remember this important teaching throughout the rest of our day and in the days to come. We are not our bodies, but we are connected to one another through the Holy Spirit that joins us all, we Divine Children of God. We are limitless in our being, as we are of Pure Creation, free to create of ourselves. Nothing can harm us. We may be healed from our illusory perceptions anytime we choose by remembering Who We Really Are. In choosing Forgiveness and Love over fear, we are making the decision to bring Salvation to our world. We cannot fail.
May Love and Light be with you all, and spill forth into all those who surround you.
And so it is. Thank you, and Amen.
Until tomorrow,
Journeyman
