The whole Jesus story is eerily similar to the tale of Horus the revealer of immortality which is said to have occurred in the times of the Egyptian First Dynasty or Persia ’s Mithras and Zarathustra. The underlying meaning of the epic tale is about living from a higher vibration. This energetic vibration is often referred to as the Christ, Buddha, and or Krishna Consciousness and known to be such an unparalleled sense of oneness that death itself cannot create a sense of separation from it. Stories, parables, and allegories are effective tools to help us understand that which can’t really be perceived with the five senses no less, described with words by delivering an intuitive impress. The Easter story or the spring metaphor of rising triumph above the cold dark winter, representing death itself here, is recorded from the beginning of time and celebrated with its various Spring festivals. All of the historical celebrations work in their own cultural way to help part the veil to the unknown, giving one a peek into the returning power and potential beyond apparent death.
It’s not about living beyond this world; rather, it’s choosing to be fully present and living full out now in this world. It’s about moving beyond the chatter of human concerns in your head that drown out the sound of God. Everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear and babble. As you court the beloved rather than those earthly concerns, you will see the face of God everywhere and feel the Divine Embrace.
Our allegories and analogies of the after-life and God seem fueled by our cultures highest understanding of the best possible human conditions which can be put into words. But, there‘s so much more beyond imagination. Not understanding your true magnificence will keep you searching outside yourself for something you feel is more significant than you, which goes against the truth of who you are. You are life itself expressing. You are an active expression of God.
As long as you can keep your awareness on the Infinite without having to describe it or direct it, you will keep the channel open to the wonderful flow of life beyond what you ever knew possible. You’ll find yourself being charged up rather than depleted and exhausted by this world’s demands. You’ll recognize all experience unfolding in your world is God expressing through you. When you maintain a high level of awareness you will receive intuitive revelations pointing to the next step along a harmonious path for your soul’s continued expression.
No longer will you be satisfied to live a life motivated by low vibration motives. You won’t duck pain, fear or be shackled by the concerns of pleasing others. Instead, you will resonate with living in the joy vibration. Laughter and smiles will become more of your daily self expression. Following your heart will benefit others tenfold rather than being a people pleasing person. Living from your natural flow is what fuels your connection to the enriching current of Spirit. Letting go of your ego’s agenda and emotional attachments is what will open the door for the greater expression of the Infinite to arrive in all of its glory as your life.
When you live in this loving stream, life is not difficult because it was never meant to be a struggle. The realm of awareness where you are playing in this world is meant to be a good, fun and happy place. In truth, it’s heaven where it’s done to you as you believe.
A greater question at hand is, who planted the beliefs that have you entombed in the tightness of your conviction that the world is a certain way? The spring analogies remind you, you don’t have to stay there no matter who sealed the grave, you can step out of this tomb of limiting beliefs and internal struggles at any time. Stop turning the Infinite power against you for personal entrapment; you don’t need your life lessons through pain any longer. Ride the fresh flow of this current spring energy of life seeking to express through you.
There is no separation. You are life itself rising from it’s winter hibernation, You too can live from a higher vibration because you are The Infinite. The more you allow this Life to move through the open door of your being, the more it heals, transforms and enriches you. Suddenly, what’s wrong or isn’t working is insignificant. You’ll be living in a constant state of wholeness and renewal and anything unlike that will naturally fall from your world.
For many, misplaced beliefs and fears that are based on detailed story-telling will close the door to the Infinite Power creating a separation and dualistic approach to living. These disconnects hurt, but slowly we, as humans, adjust to the constriction accepting struggle as a normal state-of- being. New stories and urban myths are built to substantiate this as the new standard. Embracing the distressed state usually comes from a feeling you are less than magnificent, not worthy of living heaven on earth. I’m telling you now. You are not less than anything or anyone; you are the Divine Rising as you and worthy to experience all your heart desires! You must choose to live in a higher vibration. This rising transcends religion and is available to all who are willing to roll the stone away from their tomb of limited thinking.
It’s a powerful teaching to resist not evil. The moment you are tempted to fight the battle of the persecutors in your life, like sickness, scarcity or fear, they will have already won because you will have just entered the world of your foe and given your power to duality. When you go to God to take on your battle, you’ve misdirected the mystical power of Oneness by agreeing there is an opponent to fight. A powerful mystical message can be found in Jesus’ classic line to Pilot, where he says,” You have no power over me.” You’ve abdicated your Divine Expression when you believe and act as if there could be something outside of you that is not Spirit and it needs to be concurred.
In the Divine field, there is no such thing as truth over error, right over wrong, or health over sickness because duality just doesn’t exist in the higher vibration of God. There is only the Infinite taking form as you. You must always choose to see as Spirit sees. Or as Ernest Holmes writes in the Science of Mind, “We must trust the Invisible, for It is the sole cause of that which is visible . . . things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” (Heb.11:3)
Too many will tell you this world is an illusion. It’s not an illusion; it’s all Spirit. Rather, it’s that our senses are misinterpreting, misperceiving and not seeing the face of God. The challenges lie in our believing our interpretation of what we see is the Truth. Your stories can trap you in the limiting beliefs of duality. Remember, it’s all Spirit, which includes form.
As one grows from infancy, through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, so too, does one mature up the vibrational scale into knowing beyond the descriptive of words to an intuitive realization that emerges with a knowingness from a non linear Divine Impress. No longer will you be seduced into thinking Spirit is not present in particular places in your world. With the wisdom of the Christ Consciousness, the Buddha Consciousness, the Krishna consciousness or just the higher wisdom of the ages, you’ll come to know the Divine as all forms of your life and the revelational gifts they are offering you. There is truly nothing in this world that can deny the Divine.
Personal practices for living in a Higher vibration:
- When, in your life, have you been so down you didn’t feel as if there was any way out of the dark time, but some how you returned to life? Remember how it was to be part of the world of the living again.
- What mind chatter is drowning out the sound of God? What messages are you not hearing that are attempting to catch your attention?
- What fears and babble are keeping you from coming alive in your dream and making your dream a reality?
- Where are you finding yourself depleted and how can you open up to the revitalizing Infinite Source?
- How has pain avoidance become your motivating driver? Where do you not allow the joy vibration to be your inspired way of being?
- Who placed some entombing beliefs in your thinking and what are they? Are you willing to let them go or are you noticing you’re already defending them in your mind to these questions?
- Where are you giving your power away to “Pilot”, outside concerns? Remember to enter into the Divine vibration and be led by the Higher Directive.
- What limiting experiences have you believing Spirit is not present? How can you come to know this experience from a Higher place, through the eyes of God?
