If you have Adya's book "Falling into Grace" check out the sections "To Be Everything and Nothing at the Same Time" and "The Great Return" on pages 93-98. He asks:
"Is it possible to start to feel, in this very moment, that our bodies, our minds, and even our personalities are ways through which our spiritual essence connects with the world around us?" (p. 93)
I love what Adya is saying, that it is our spiritual essence expressing through our bodies, minds and personalities that connects with the world around us. It can be so easy for me to use my mind to navigate through life, but that is completely different than connecting with my spiritual essence and allowing that to express itself through my mind, body and personality.
Adya suggests that we "Look within, right now, in this very instant. Don't search for anything...just look, listen, and feel, and allow yourself to experience that inner presence, that inner transparency to spirit." (p. 97)
"Only then do we get on with the business of how to be what we really are, how to not be lost in our minds. Use your body and mind as an expression of your essence, as a way to connect with others and as a way to remind others of the truth of what we are." (p. 98)
How lovely it would be to interact with others from a place of unity...without comparison, competition, judgment, control, jealousy, insecurity, rejection... How different the world would be if our primary goal was to help each to recognize our True Nature, to know that we are all One Divine expression of life and of love.
I will connect with that inner presence frequently throughout my day. I will relax into that space and open my heart allowing the energy of God's love to pour through me and as me. And so it is.
