Inspired and In Spirit
What does the word inspiration mean to you? I look at the word and break it into two parts: “in” and “Spirit.” To live an inspired life then means to be “in Spirit” all the time – to be in tune with the magnificent presence of the Higher Self within you. Where in effect, the mind is open to everything, and attached to nothing. We are all created in the image of God who is Himself, such an organizing intelligence no matter what religion, nationality, or belief system, that divine spark resides within everyone even if the person is not currently aware of it.
Therefore, this organizing, all knowing, ever present intelligence is the place from which we all derive inspiration – in –Spirit. An inspired life is finding a way to live in harmony with the divine intelligence with every thought you have. It is to live at all times in Spirit and feeling yourself when you are disconnected from Spirit. The key is being in touch with that divine source within which is inspiration. Living day in and day out, watching every thought and knowing that you have left Spirit when you have a negative or selfish thought – when you become ego centered (Edging-God-Out).
Being inspired is about changing awareness of yourself from being limited, having no luck, things never working out, etc. into realizing that you are unlimited and have the potential to create whatever you truly desire if it is in alignment with the divine within. Whatever the mind of man can conceive, the mind of man can create. You are a perfect creation of the Divine. There is absolutely nothing that you cannot create because you are made in HIS image and GOD can do ANYTHING! You just have to Believe it. Speak it. Walk in it.
Living an inspired life is realizing that you came from a divine source – you are a piece of His divinity, an expression of unlimited potential. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin said, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; but spiritual beings having a human experience.” A drop of the ocean is not the ocean, but the small drop has the same qualities and essence of the ocean. Since the source from which we came is love, peace, abundance, unlimited, perfect health, then we also have these qualities inherent in us as humans. It is actually an insult from which you came to think anything less.
We came into existence from divinity but somehow got separated from our source and developed an ego. We began to follow the herd and to identify with accumulating things. Things that mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things!
Quiet your mind, meditate, and get back in touch with your Higher Self.
When you are inspired, you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever imagined. Realize that your thoughts are energy. It’s all about what kind of thoughts and feelings we offer up to achieve our desires which are aligned with Spirit. You will find renewed strength when you are In Spirit…just try it, I promise you will make a way to remain in tune with your Higher Self daily. As I type this on bed rest I concede, there is no alternative…I AM In Spirit surrounding myself with loving energy and sending that energy to you.
Peace, Love and Light
