Perspective on Divine Power

I began my spiritual journey as a Christian, indoctrinated early by the mainstream and even charismatic church. I was blessed to see an even more unique perspective at a non-mainstream church, but have struggled with years to come into my own understanding. A wise man taught me, "Wisdom is simple, Knowledge is complex." 

What the Christian faith, especially in the (IMHO) more advanced charismatic realms is that the power lies in Jesus or Father God. In reality, the power lies within us. When the Bible speaks of us all receiving the spirit of God inside, the perspective of the church comes up short. 

The power we have is the same as a king or queen over a kingdom. We are not servants, but divine beings ourselves. 

I mentioned in my earlier post that the soul and spirit are one and the same, or rather we have an immortal soul combined with the divine essence in all of us. That divine essence connects us to every living thing, including our divine source. Man seeks knowledge of our divine source. When rather we should seek wisdom. 

What can't be comprehended is actually inside us, in the heart where the divine essence resides. Wisdom is not accessed through knowledge, but through intuition and creativity. Knowledge, however, is limitless when one operates with a pearl of greater wisdom. 

If only you could see yourself as all-powerful. Able to consciously manifest the good things in life by simply realizing the divine essence working in you to develop your soul. It is a bridge of sorts. That bridge is much like connecting the conscious mind with our unconscious mind. We use our conscious mind to control the driving urges of the unconscious. 

This duality can also be seen in our flesh bodies with its animalistic tendencies, tempered by the soul acting through the conscious mind. The flesh body is not evil, it simply is a tool for living in a manifest existence. The purpose of our manifest existence is to discover the divine in ourselves. 

When the divine in ourselves is touched, we see the greatest law at work, Love. It acts as a counterbalance to the law of cause and effect, or to some, Karma. I do believe souls live many lives, continually evolving. But, it is only on this earthly plane that we are subject to the laws of nature. Learning what those laws are, such as the law of attraction so popularly accepted in the book, "The Secret". 

But there is more than just that law at work. Our souls choose to live earthly existences until they reach a place of enlightenment that can take them no further. One who is such enlightened operates in pure unconditional love, and gives up their small ego for the bigger picture. 

That is why I still believe in Jesus Christ as the exalted one. A great master who demonstrated perfectly the character of the divine and enabled all humans to have a piece of the divine. 

Believe in your innate ability to manifest all that is good in your life.
