Wednesday, June 28, 2006Wednesday's ThoughtsThe Bride and Groom Gentle Receptivity: • The Old Testament says: “Be still & know that I am God”. o Know means “absolute belief –absolute conviction”. o It means be open and receptive (meditative) and have faith. • The New Testament says: “The Bridegroom awaits the Bride”. o Biblical Jews used the term “daughter” or “bride” to refer to the state of “gentle receptivity” or surrender or submission of the lower mind or ego self to the “bridegroom” o It is difficult for most of us to “stand still”, to be “meek”, to have “gentle receptivity” - to be the bride to our awaiting bridegroom. o Biblical Jews used “son” or “bridegroom” to refer to the state of “confidence and power”, “Kingship”, “Ruling”, “Commanding”, and “Speaking Boldly” that are attributes of the Higher Mind (spiritual self). Standing Still: It is difficult for most of us to “stand still” which means “keep your poise” and let Infinite Intelligence/Mind run the situation. • People try to rush into battle and handle everything themselves. • Their Lower Minds, Egos, try to control the outcome. • This brings defect and failure. What is Happening? • All these terms are synonyms for surrender or submission to our Higher Selves, to the God within, to our Higher consciousness – the Bridegroom • With open receptivity we are surrendering to our Higher/God Self, and by faith, marry the Conscious Mind with the Superconscious Mind. Marriage: When the bride and groom unite, without schisms, the bridegroom is transformed into a boldly brave, commanding, authority – into a Ruler and King to whom all things are possible with Faith. • The marriage is like a chemistry experiment in more ways than one. • When you mix the right elements together, when Lower Mind is Receptive & submissive to Higher Mind - Infinite Mind, Faith is present, & you have a powerful chemical reaction, producing a new compound (Form, Condition, Effect). • Miracles happen. All is possible. posted @ 07:44 AM EST [link] [Karma: 36 (+/-)] [1681 Comments ] |
