I 

Imagine Yourself In A Larger View

“God, playing a game of tag, said: ‘You are it.’ I mean, you are really it.” —Kabir

Imagine a soul view. You perceive a felt sense of expansion and brilliance. This can be your foundation anytime, I tell myself—despite my daily focus on what is really a temporary expression or identification as a body with a mind.

What? I am more than a body? There’s an energy I can call “me” that’s more than that?

Albert Einstein said: Energy doesn’t die. Ok, let’s substitute the word Love for that energy. I’ll say Love instead of God, or Creator Source, and that it is a mysterious and infinite flow that gives life.

There are many forms, and they all change—and the fact that forms exist at all is some kind of sanity and at other times insane. That doesn’t have to be either right or wrong. I can know that inhabiting a physical body can be a way to experience “separateness” from the whole while, ironically, living in this wholeness.

You can say this energy of love is the entirety that expresses in and yet is transcendent of forms. It is you in the world but not of it. What about the “me” that wishes it hadn’t said something in a meeting with someone or others and now can’t sleep for the self-criticism that keeps me awake?

Oh, that’s just your ego judging an experience! What? It’s the part of you that identifies itself as separate from the others, and instead of being love first, it needs to sometimes shine as a special self.

Just move on even if this separate self can make me think I do not receive love’s flow at all times. To say, “I am little and unworthy and must suffer something to get back to It” keeps It from being felt. What if this physical body-mind self is simply a construct I’ve made to experience the world as a seemingly separated aspect of it, but the Source of world loves me and does not judge anything?

Experience shows me that I am connected, but the ego needs to run the show sometimes—and judge, or criticize everything. It’s funny, because the ego is an illusory construct, though it does serve to make sure I eat, sleep, take care of the body. The irony of the illusion, or the non-existence of separateness is that it doesn’t exist, except in my limited mind’s imagination.

There is another voice, and I hear it when I’m silent long enough to listen to my breath. I can let love breathe me. Now the challenge is in the question: Which voice will I listen to at each moment?

Intuition

Intuition provides answers to what Reality might be. Self love, or the finding of joy in every minute possible, that is, to follow your joy, is a key. When you feel that quiet peace it is then it can be lived and extended. You allow the stream that is ongoing, and while in your boat floating down the river, you have choice as to what to do or think next.

The way to a felt sense of this love is to open or surrender to it. You can be aware of any blocks to it that might emerge; simply ask to be shown whatever it is that causes resistance: Fears, abandonment, betrayal, what happens if you don’t please another. Perhaps it is even that you place your loved ones in a box of your own perceptions that limits them and thus you as well.

A memory can come in quietness, something someone did or said, or some act or word you said for which you judge yourself in the present. Spirit will bring you all knowledge when you ask (even sometimes when you don’t consciously do so); however, sometimes it also helps to consult with a human friend. You might ask him or her (or Spirit), “What do you see or know about me that can help me?” Here at the about “me” page is how I might be of assistance with intuition-focused counseling.

Wisdom

The physical body is such a wise mechanism. It conveys always how you think and feel, healthy or ill. You can move it anywhere, and think anything. Your skin might even develop a rash based on your thoughts and emotions.

The body is so very finely tuned. We engage it to commune with self and others. Communication stems from communion. When you are aligned, at peace, in harmony, your relationship with yourself and others is joyful.

The physical body provides the five senses; however, these are somewhat limited. Science says that no two things can occupy the same space because physical matter is solid. We believe we are separate beings when identified as only our body, and being in such a belief box limits communication and relationship.

Consciousness

Our bodies exist in what we perceive as their own space, though the photons of light that make up these bodies are content from a greater field. What is preeminent over even this light is consciousness, or an omnipotent context in which thought is omnipresent and faster than light-speed waves.

This mysterious, unseen, unbounded Mind is subtle. Bodies with brains have their perceptions. Exclusive identification with a body, however, limits it to a smaller mind. This smaller awareness does merge into the world of greater Mind, or Self, so it can be expanded by thought at any time.

Infinite content, or love is not limited to any form in which it appears. Communication of all kinds between an infinite diversity of forms unfolds and perpetuates creation. Identification with this larger context is a sort of magic carpet ride into the realm of relationship expansion.

When you experience intuition there is an expansion of mind. There can be insights in “seeing” or remote viewing. You can’t imagine what you haven’t experienced. This reminds me of what the poet Kabir said: “Instead of thinking you know, try something different: Surrender” because to receive this expanded information, you need to submit to the love of all. ∆

Intuition

Intuitive insight can bring knowledge beyond theory. A woman asked if I could see why she felt imbalanced. A perception came that her brain needed serotonin. She exclaimed, “Oh dear, I forgot to take my serotonin supplement this morning.”

A psychologist friend and clairvoyant, Shannon McRae, would tell me about her cases. I studied with her and decided to write these personal stories along with references to substantiating material. The book is titled The Healing Effects of Energy Medicine: Memoirs of A Medical Intuitive.

It shows how the engagement of the intuitive aspect of mind can help resolve all kinds of questions. It also speaks to the power of forgiveness in healing. To release self or others from perceptions you’ve projected upon them removes you from the trap of disease.

You communicate with mind, and there is no space between that and anyone. It bridges the “gap” beliefs have imagined to be true. Ask and then take a nap or walk or relax and you will receive an answer eventually!

Knowledge enters your field first.

You trust the impressions that come to you.

When you ask for unlimited information but doubt what you perceive it temporarily blocks the conduit between you and the Whole. ∆

Stuff and Things

Things are temporal, or time-dependent. When you identify yourself as being limited to a body with a beginning and an ending, you think You have an end point. What if that consciousness of you endures: To point your focus to you as an eternal being is to recall those moments where you felt as one with everything and everyone. 

To return is to turn again, or to recognize. Re-cognize what? Awareness of what you are in reality. To turn the other cheek is to look beyond the physical dramas, resentments, projections, judgments, and fears of loss and look only at who you are essentially. 

Healthy, Whole, Hale & Hardy

It’s risky to compartmentalize aspects of the whole. To exclude something consciously from the complete entity is like to make it wrong in an attempt to reject it. At those times you are tempted to think health has escaped from your grasp, that the world is not healthy at all.

When all seems to be in full function, you say, “I feel great.” However, when there is a pain or an ache, or a relationship is difficult for you, when war breaks out, or the head throbs or joints feel stuck, you might say, “I don’t feel so well.”  What if these are opportunities and experiences that guide, direct, and help me realize the whole beyond their reach?

I’ve worked with many a gifted teacher and seers. You allow intuitive information to come through you. It only asks you to peacefully receive its grace—and extend it to others when appropriate. ∆
