opening to the powers of our Origin

If we hold together as a species, where are we headed? Some say safe in the arms of Jesus, but I don’t think Jesus wants any babies to hold nor to be Entertainer on an eternal ship cruise. I think we are headed toward ongoing expanded awareness of ourselves as our Origin embodying. In God language, that is God godding. In other words, we open to and act from Christ Consciousness. We may prove ourselves worthy yet of earthly and cosmic stewardship by opening to the powers of our Origin.

no more than one can bear

"God will not give us more than we can bear." While that is generally taken to mean that God will not load this donkey down with more burdens than can be borne, it means much more than that.

As fedele d'amore of our Source, we are not donkeys, but open conduits of spiritual energy. We will not conduct more spiritual energy than we can withstand. "God will not give us more than we can bear."

When our lives are little and small, our aperture for conductance constricted, we will not be given much spiritual juice. And at a time when it feels as if we need it the most! For ourselves.

It doesn't work that way. We are in partnership with our Maker. This is a two-way street. We make our Maker as our Maker makes us. Our Maker looks to be borne and cannot be born without womb room.

The lover, one in love, is capacious, wide open, roomy, free while remarkably attentive to the one loved. The open-hearted lover can bear much. Radiant energy flows through. No more than one can bear.

upper room

They slammed me up beside the head with the Bible and its underlined bookmarked step-by-step guide to salvation and I thought, "No, this is not it. They don't know what 'believing in Jesus' means." Or if they did, it certainly wasn't coming across in their hard drive to put this sinner over the salvation goal line for yet another Jesus touchdown.

For me, “believing in Jesus” means opening to that portal between the dualistic world and the realm of the nondual. Within that portal, that antechamber, that “upper room,” or more accurately, through that portal move the energies of Christ. A confluence of energies occurs, his and mine, so that there is no mine and his. No theological hair splitting. No affirmation of creed. No denominational diatribes. Confluence. Flow. To the horror of some, I also meet Buddha, Lao Tzu, and others there. We converse, commune, share.

the underlying transcendent

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55: 8-9)

If you wish to open to God and you have a pre-ordained understanding of God, you are opening to your pre-ordained understanding and not to God.

If you equate God with love, then you are opening to love. If awareness, then awareness. If energetic power, then energetic power. You are opening to your own equation and not to God.

Opening to love, awareness, and energetic power is mighty fine. Just don't think you are opening to God. You are opening to you.

Note: For those of you who get all shook up at God language, "God" equals that which both underlies and transcends existence. Call it what you will. By whatever name you give it, the underlying transcendent is the underlying transcendent.
