THE WISDOM OF GOD

 

Searching for the Trees of Knowledge

Part One

The Journey Begins

There is a metaphysical statement that assures us:

 "When the student is ready the Teacher appears."

We all have found that to be true in many areas of our lives, all our lives,

 continuing into the present time. In spite of how it may seem at times,

Life does bring us what we need to progress, Body and Soul.

 

There is nothing mysterious about that when we consider another

metaphysical Truth that  'Each day we are given our 'daily bread'"....we are given

 our Truth for each day!  And that 'Truth' we are expected to use  constructively

 in order to experience Life harmoniously and productively in the

 human arena, or anywhere We happen to be in the Greater Universe.

 

The First Truth, as it concerns the human endeavor, tells us that We are not the

 mortal human vehicle. One day we, the human being,  awaken to the Knowledge

 that WHO WE ARE is an Immortal Bit of  Life encased in a physical body. And the

 'Bread of Life' is immediately available to us as and when we need It or are

 ready and willing to receive It. We finally realize that wherever we are we are

 directly connected to all that sustains Life.

 

The Second Truth as it concerns the human/Soul Endeavor is that We have

 embodied to expand the Light of Universal Godness here.

 How much and when we experience the Expansion of  'Life/Light' here on Earth

 depends on our (humanly) knowing what to do....how to use Spiritual Knowledge....

That's where all our Soul Experiences come into play.

And this Earth Experience is only one of many places (Many Mansions)

in which we live, learn, and serve.

 

Thus one of the first Truths we are taught is that the human-us is to put on the

 Mind that was the 'Mind of Jesus'. And 'what Mind' was That....

 

When we are ready to ask that question, a new kind of personal search

 begins. Where before we may have been focused on

 the Greater God of the Universe....on Our 'Father'...a Being or Power remote in

 our minds and far away in time and space,

now suddenly we are faced with the Idea of a Bit of Christ Mind that is said

 to exist within each one of us. How do we prove that?

I would say there is no way to know what that 'Mind of Christ' is 

without Knowing first WHO WE REALLY ARE....

 

For thousands of years humanity has been denied that Truth by the 'religions'

 that purport to guide them Spiritually. And it is denied by individuals themselves

 who have  lacked personal interest in the Subject.

Thus, few on Earth today,

KNOW WHO THEY REALLY ARE IN THE COSMIC SCHEME OF THINGS.

And thus we have the terrible conditions on Earth for now many thousands upon

 thousands of years as little by little the human has pushed its Soul Mind aside and

 the animal nature has gotten the upper hand.

 

Desire for Knowledge of 'Greater Self....Greater Beingness' begins to come into

 human focus when the Intuitive Messages of the ever present Soul Mind finally

 penetrate the human consciousness, bringing with Them, the dawning Idea  of

 WHO  WE  REALLY  ARE . 

It is in this way that eventually each one learns about that small Spark of

 Greater 'I AM' GODNESS that  resides within the physical body, 

learning that a small Spark of Christ Light and Consciousness exists on an Altar

 in  a  Secret Place in the human heart....that it is placed there at the time of

 conception. And we come to accept the Idea that

 WHO WE REALLY ARE IS THE IMMORTAL CONSCIOUSNESS....

THE IMMORTAL IDENTITY

 WITHIN THAT SPARK OF CHRIST LIGHT. 

 

 AND KNOWING THAT 'WE', BODY AND SOUL, BEGIN  TO   FAN  THAT  SPARK  INTO  A

 GREATER FLAME.... ONE  THAT THEN  EXPANDS TO LIGHT  OUR  WAY  ON  EARTH 

 AND FINALLY TO LIGHT THE EARTH!

NOW WE ARE BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE INDEED CAPABLE OF

 DOING THOSE ' GREATER  THINGS' THAT THE BELOVED ONE WE KNOW AS 'JESUS'

 SPOKE OF.

 

Now, at the outset, any quest for more Knowledge or Experience

in any field of endeavor requires a level of human 'belief and/or faith' in

 whatever we are attempting to do.

So the Third Truth concerns Faith and Belief, Trust and Commitment:

Those Attitudes  guide us and hold us steady, Mentally and  Emotionally  as we

continue to use and evolve our Understanding of the Greater Knowledge. 

However, what complicates our search for Truth, is that Spiritual

' Truth' is currently divided or scattered among many Trees in the

 Spiritual  Forest.

 And yes, I think there are Reasons for this....Reasons partially hidden.

 But keep in mind that if we are Faithing and Believing and Trusting and if we are

 committed to following that Voice that is leading us, we don't  have to understand

 all the 'Cosmic Reasoning' behind the  Evolutionary Process on Earth.

Our job is to 'educate' ourselves by finding and 'putting on' that Christ Mind that

 was  the 'Mind of Jesus'....our Spiritual Process is to gather and practice Truth,

 piece by piece, until we come to the point of being able to say,

 'I think I begin to Understand'.

 

And it is a great day when we can say that and when we find we are not alone in

 our search....when we connect with other Searchers who have arrived at a similar

 Understanding after a similar search.  

Religions, organizations have grown from people coming together in  the name of

 some Aspect of the True Knowledge of God. Spirituality has grown on Earth

 whenever individuals have taken their Ideas out into

 the wider world  to serve the various evolving levels of human and Soul Mind.

.

If we become impatient with ourselves let us remember:

Most of us  (Souls) start Life here on Earth with just a human baby mind to work

 with.  Over the years we grow and humanly move from one Idea to another...

hopefully always  seeking Greater Truth.... hopefully always seeking the

'Mind of Christ' that was  demonstrated by 'Jesus'.

As we seek, the Soul Mind that lives within the human-us begins to

 flex its Cosmic Muscles, as it were, grateful that its human partner is showing

 Signs of interest in Spiritual Knowledge. 

For me it has always been encouraging to realize that The Soul (or Bit of Christ

 Mind) is  always trying to get my human attention and when successful, the human

 'me' has progressed 'on the road' to becoming an increasingly,

 more successful human/Soul Partnership.

 

We are not without the tools to achieve a successful human/Soul Journey.

The brain ( the hard drive) has within it the Software (information) needed by

 Body and Soul for each Journey. We are at the outset provided with as much

 Information and Experience as we need or can handle at any one time...and step

 by step the 'Journey of Body and Soul' gets underway. Then it is up to each one

 of us, each human/Soul Partnership, to Expand the Journey....take It as far as we

 wish to go or are able to go with It at any one time.   

 

Thus, 'Faith and Belief'  spring into Life when we begin to

 'just know' there is more to Life than only the human process, and Trust in that

 'knowing' leads us to the Commitment needed to succeed.

It helps to realize that we see the physical body as a type of

 material body created to handle the density of Earth Energy as it now

 exists....that it was and continues to be  designed specifically to meet the needs

 of an Immortal Spark of Life ....One that contains the Christ Mind and Energy of

 Higher Origin. 

In time, the vibration of Earth Energy will be higher/faster than it is at the

 present time.... at  which time the physical body will be created less dense and

 heavy....making it easier for 'Souls' to  matriculate here. But that happens

 slowly with the  Evolution of  Life. It takes time....

 

Meanwhile, our Understanding and Use of 'Life' expands as fast and as far as

 we, Body and Soul, wish to or are able to take It. We are Free to create our Lives

 in whatever  way We desire to create It, with the Understanding that the Truth

 we seek is  this:

 We are to strive always to be in tune with God Consciousness at the level of our

 personal Christ Level as well as at the Universal Levels of Greater Godness.

 We are to strive to access that Consciousness.

We are to strive to activate that Consciousness

We are to become that Consciousness.

In time, when we are ready to experience that Level of Consciousness

the Secrets of Life are revealed to us...ending our Quest for the Holy Grail.  

In time we taste the Fruits of the Trees of True Knowledge.

 

 Looking back on it from that Height,

 I think we will see that Life is really so

 simple if our 'eye be single'.
