I am listening to a new audio program with Greg Braden (author of “The Isiah Effect”, “The God Code”, The Divine Matrix” and many other excellent books). His ideas are well developed and well presented however much reiterated. I think, though, that his reiteration is sometimes necessary to help us keep the focus.
His body of work mostly revolves around information from various ancient texts (including the bible) that we in the West have largely overlooked or misinterpreted/perverted. It all boils down to the ideas regarding our thoughts, feelings and emotions as causes and our manifested “realities” as the effects. Also, that these ideas are actually a technique he calls “the lost mode of prayer”. He further demonstrates that scientific development in the areas of quantum physics and holography actually support these ideas. Science and religion as two sides to the same coin, so to speak.
As our thoughts and emotions are energy created, and mass (times the speed of light, squared) becomes materiality, Einstein equated the two (E=mc2), and also stated that “God is in the details”. It’s not that much of a stretch to get that we have been looking at everything backwards. Nothing just happens to us. We are creating our lives with our vibrations (the energy we generate in every moment with our feelings, reactions, and thoughts).
It’s important to realize that this is not an idea that we might use now and again to accomplish certain situations. We are using it all the time, every single second whether we think about it or not. We could not become instantaneously capable of monitoring each and every thought. So, to establish a habit of slowing them down so as to patiently pay attention to the possibilities whenever we can remember, would be especially productive. Spiritual progress is the key, since perfection will remain behind the veil. Even Jesus lost his temper, argued with his mother, and bad-mouthed many. He still understood, in a more superior and profound way, the power at our disposal, and used it many times. Although we still call these times miracles, I remind you that he told us “You can do these things, and more”.
I believe that in paradise we understand this and that our ‘knowledge of good and evil’ keeps it at bay. I don’t believe anything else has to happen (or time has to pass) for us to return to paradise if we change our minds. Many of our most spiritually oriented guides have given us amazing hints regarding these concepts, but I think one of the best guiding phrases came from Jesus when he told us to “Love your neighbor as yourself”.
We aren’t really separate, your neighbor IS yourself. It’s ALL God, so you can’t love one and not love another. You can only love or not, and choosing to love (be love) creates the single most powerful positive energy in the universe, thereby creating the most desirable circumstances.
Breathing helps.
