Body and Mind

"The miracle of love comes to us in the presence of the uninterpreted moment." - Byron Katie

A few weeks ago, we talked about the work of Dr. David Hawkins in establishing a scale that measures the state of one's consciousness. Love is at the level of 500, about half way up the scale, and according to Dr. Hawkins, no disease can enter into or exist in the physical body of someone whose consciousness level is consistently at this level or higher. Which, simply put, means that the prevention and cure of disease is something we can accomplish ourselves by going within and releasing the internal dis-ease we experience by loving ourselves, others and every moment of our lives, no matter what has happened in the past or is happening now. The word 'disease' itself shows exactly why disease arises - dis-ease or stress about a situation experienced continuously causes our bodies to become diseased. Even staunch advocates of modern allopathic medicine who advocate external remedies for disease, such as drugs and surgery, now acknowledge that stress is a major contributing factor to and an inhibitor of recovery from all disease.

So how does one love and give thanks for whatever has happened and is happening in your life, no matter how 'bad' these situations seem to be to your limited rational mind? In going beyond the limiting and limited judgments of the rational mind by quieting the mind in meditation, relaxation, prayer or whatever particular method works best for you, and contemplating in this relaxed state how whatever situation that has been troubling you is actually a 'blesson' - a blessing and a lesson in disguise - you will understand that the reason every challenge arises in your life is precisely to help you realise that to learn to love yourself, everything and everyone else is the whole purpose of this brief earthly existence you are experiencing. The only alternative is to argue with reality, in which case you lose 100% of the time! Click here to find out how to Love What Is.

Heart and Soul

"
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence, nor imagination, nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius." - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
                                                                                                                  

Most of us look at the lives of the great geniuses who have lived in the past and present and wonder at them and how they did it. We think that we, as mere mortals, could not hope to emulate their genius and its seemingly miraculous feats. But the truth is that we are all capable of amazing feats if we would simply live in and through love, as Mozart, whose music is perhaps the purest musical expression of love that has ever been composed, says in the quote above. Even in a discipline as seemingly rational and logical as mathematics, the surprising result of a survey of America's most eminent mathematicians, including Einstein, to find out their working methods, was that thinking "plays only a subordinate part in the brief, decisive phase of the creative act itself."

When we love what we do, we tap into creativity and imagination from a source far deeper and infinitely more powerful than our own minds are capable of when we are not operating in a state of love. In fact, the reason we experience joy when we do what we love and love what we do is because the joy of our true nature, which is love, is being expressed in what we do and the resultant creations.

The highest truth is that God is love, so to produce 'divine' results, we must do our work with love and enjoy the process rather than merely doing things to achieve an end result we see as desirable, such as making money. Setting an end result as a goal can add to the sense of enjoyment we experience in the process by giving us enthusiasm for the work, provided the end result we want to achieve does not overshadow the enjoyment of the process and lead us to view the process as merely an inconvenient way of getting to the desired end result that, when achieved, will make us 'happy'. Relegating happiness to a future time and making it conditional on your achieving or having certain things is delusional and non-loving towards yourself and others, and can only produce misery, unhappiness and work totally devoid of the divine spark of genius inherent in every one of us.

A photograph of a water crystal that has been exposed to Mozart's music, then frozen and magnified 500 times, is shown above. Note the beautiful pattern, reflecting the love that Mozart felt while composing the music. Contrast this with the photo of a water crystal exposed to heavy metal music below and draw your own conclusions about the state of consciousness of the composer and the musicians playing it!
