A Universal Key to Spiritual Unity

June 2, 2009

Maybe we’ve stood sometime and looked at the stars- perhaps sometimes sensing ourself moving relatively at an unfathomable speed in space. When the sun rises in the east, we know that the stars do not go away. They remain as they are. Only our focus changes. So it is with our dreams. When we rise up each day, our dreams continue in the background as much a part of our life  as our thoughts and situations. Until we become awakened, our existence on Earth is a dream that the universe is having.

We can judge how alive we are by the quality of our awareness. There are a number of keys to our role as an observer in this life. One path is spiritual. Many people and most churches attempt to explain a concept of God. A lot of observers attribute the divine as an unfolding plan. Some see God as a universal person inside us all. The truth seems to be that we can usually define God as a word that describes something that is bigger than ourself. If we view God as the manifestation itself, we can conclude that God is in everything. This is a universal key to unity, spiritually.

Sometimes when we contemplate, reality gets filtered. As we organize our thoughts, we limit how much truth we can perceive. If we are able to sit without imposing, we become available to realizations. What we view as bad provides a clue what area inside us has not developed. As we notice that everything is part of the same field of particles and waves, any pieces of it that we insist are bad parts illuminate our resistances to the flow. We can free the blockages first by becoming aware of them, then by the awareness of the true cause. This special awareness usually comes not by thinking but by doing. Perhaps the fundamental blockage of a lot of religion is contemplation. Things we don’t like, fear, or otherwise resist, are things we must become able to embrace. Many of our individual viewpoints can transform the illusion of duality, and end the battle in our mind between good and evil.

We can choose to open ourself to awareness by being present, and living in meditation. A key to personal presence, and therefore gravity, is noticing when we notice things. Notice when we notice which thoughts come when. Notice and observe everything without imposing. We will become better at noticing, and we will be moving toward cultivating life. Energy flows with attention.

The gravity we cultivate is truly magic.

When we can sit equanimously, we can be born again into everlasting life.

Every one of us firmly believe that we are awake. It is the person who comes to understand our own supreme ignorance that can begin the journey toward understanding that which is beyond us.

I affirm that if we choose, the word God can describe the manifestation of matter and energy.

We may agree that God is in everything (or is a word that describes everything). We can draw a conclusion that there is only one God (as there is only one everything), and that’s universal (unity).

There can be an agreement among all people.

A universal unity in a unified field.
