Lighten Your Life - Spring 1999
by Marilyn Redmond
Life is, in all its manifestations in every animate force, Creative Force in action; and is the love of expression-or expressing that life; truth becoming a result of life's love expressed. For, these are by names-unless experienced in the consciousness of each soul. 262-46
Everyone Wins in Our Spiritual Community
Transforming our spiritual community means increasing our conscious experience with God. Glory is every soul's essence joining in spirit for a good occurrence, called the presence of God. My awareness sees the whole picture that we are already a spiritual community. If I lovingly accept others in seeking value, expressing feelings and finding their souls' essences, our well-being flourishes.
Love is not limiting, destroying, or denying. Control sets dysfunctional boundaries from fear that affects the spirit of the community. Limiting policies, dogma or attitudes stops my soul's expression; it stifles or extinguishes the inner flame of identity. Only when family or friends, who sanction expression, offer unconditional love that accepts, I then become free to change. (This does not necessarily mean approval.)
Cayce said, "The mind is the Builder." Encouraging ourselves and others to manifest thoughts into tangible results from our thinking offers experiences in the presence of God or feeling good. Just as God manifested Jesus, God incarnate or in physical form, we create, even with or without consciousness. My thoughts manifest experiences in this material world.
A week before a fire in my home, I saw a show on television where the experience of severe feelings manifested in a fellow's life. The negative emotions created rain and snow from the frozen feelings of suppressing childhood incest. When he was finally safe to allow feelings, tangible results were created from their intensity. He experienced his feelings as real. Validating all feelings is therapeutic and vital.
This phenomenal occurrence happened to me. My anger about my mother's suppressing my art ability, prohibiting other expression and impeding my soul's functioning earlier, became intense after her death. A candle on a stone ledge melted strangely on one side, as it glowed. The pastel art work behind the candle burned and flaming pictures fell to the rug and couch. In meditating, I grasped how her control of all my time and energy sacrificed my needs and fulfillment. My burned up energy created a fire. Feelings are dynamic.
Angels found the safest place in my home. The least flammable place was a stone shelf on the fireplace's brick wall; the fire was least likely to spread at this site. This demonstrated rage didn't cause too much damage However, I did gain an important understanding of the power of creation and its balance with thought.
A few weeks later a person supported and offered to aid me in expanding my contacts for speaking, another spiritual gift. This openness lead back to his benefit when I decided to register for his intensive training as a past-life regression therapist. This supported his desire to venture into more training and my wish for more opportunities for sharing God's message. We both won, another example of accepting vibrant expression in a spiritual community.
God seeks all to be one with Him. And as all things were made by Him, that which is the creative influence in every herb, every mineral, every vegetable, every individual activity, is the same force ye call God - and seeks expression! Even as when God said; "Let there be light", and there was light. For, this is law; this is love. 294-202
