Dear Friends,
“The Measure of Life”
Life…..and I usually refer to “Life” with a capital “L”, is changing…evolving…so how we reference this Life we are living now, also needs to change. In our world, as humans, measurement plays a large role in life: we measure distance, rainfall, time, our money in the bank, our self-worth, even our intelligence, and so on. The intention at this time is that we move our attention – our focus – onto the TRUE MEASURE OF LIFE, which ironically is beyond measure as in Truth there are no limits. And we are part of this vast measureless universe. It is the sacred mystery that has nothing to do with our small-minded human “doings.”
Obviously in our day to day living there are times when measurements in the world do apply. Soon building will begin on my cottage and great care has to be taken by the builder to ensure that the building fits the plans. But there is another way of doing this, of measuring our worth and our treasures.
I read a book some years ago, by Credo Mutwa, entitled: “Song of the Stars,” and in the final chapter entitled: The Boundaries of Human Life, he stated that when people discovered God, they discovered a shapeless, featureless, endless entity with which no-one could cope, and so in order to handle the mystery of God, man reduced that mystery to a shape that he could recognize and therefore understand. To me this explained so well that we seem to have the need to have things “boxed in” or defined by a specific shape, size, or description according to our human perceptions. And yet these perceptions occur through so many filters and really are so limiting.
When we know who we are in Truth, and that in Truth (Spiritually) we are all equal, then we will find ourselves lifted in conscious acceptance, ready to experience a way of life that is promised to us. “I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly.” We are each like individual snowflakes falling from the same cloud; tiny, very fine, perfectly patterned and beautiful. Yet, we need to remember that an avalanche is made up of tiny, individual, seemingly harmless flakes, and together in avalanche form can have a tremendous impact on an environment.

Just think that if each of us could “see” beyond the human confines we have set ourselves and know through the experience of individual revelation, who we are in Truth, and then come together as an avalanche of spiritual understanding, what a huge impact that could make? Every truth in spirit is already established, awaiting our recognition and acceptance. We teach that God is omnipresent, but it is only through our spiritual consciousness that we will realize and know this Presence that is with us always. It is only through our spiritual consciousness that we will recognize the kingdom.
We speak of being the offspring of God. We repeat the words: “I and the Father are One,” and while this is true in the Absolute Sense, it is not true in our experience until we realize it for ourselves. So….what is stopping us? Maybe we are measuring ourselves as less than worthy because we are still doubting our divine heritage. Maybe our human minds are trying to comprehend the extent of the truth of which we are a part. And our human minds will not comprehend it. It is not a human experience, but rather an unlimited, spiritual one.
In Closing…….
A Daily Remembrance
The purpose of prayer is not to change God, but to change ourselves. When we pray we are affirming the nearness and responsiveness and availability of God. There is no attempt in prayer to manipulate God. Prayer has nothing to do with convincing God of our need.
God as All wisdom, All knowledge, and All understanding knows just what to do and when to do it. Prayer is to commune with God. In prayer we respond to Him. We become open and receptive to Him.
This Principle of Pure Wisdom is not a heartless ruler. This infinite Intelligence enfolds us in His Infinite Love. There is no hurt in His love, no punishment, no limitation.
God is the Presence of perfect peace, total forgiveness, infinite supply. And He is with you and in you. This indwelling Presence of Total Good is the only source of Wholeness and well-being. Prayer is answered “not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord. – Dr Al G. Salazar
Bountiful blessings,
