We Share Life

"Nothing in this world is single.
All things by law divine, in one spirit meet and mingle."

- Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

We Share Life

We all live and move and have our being in the same universal Lifestream that makes us what we are and gives us life. We are all made of the same "stuff. " We share the ethers, my friends we share life, and we share the "Kingdom" with all creation. We share God.

The same characteristics that make you identifiable as a human being rather than a lower animal, a vegetable or a mineral from the earth, also distinguish me as a human being. Thus my friends, we are all of the same race, the human kingdom, and we share our humanity with every other soul on the planet.

We share the Planet Earth - one point on the universal Lifestream on which we experience our life's progress, from which we draw nourishment for growth. Our Creator has made us so intricately connected and interdependent that every time we inhale a breath of air from which we draw the very essence of life, we have breathed into our lungs the very same air which someone else has breathed out. We never worry about depleting our source of air because someone else is also making use of it.   (We really do have faith in God's abundant supply.)

All living things feed upon the earth. Every time we eat we draw nourishment from the food as it passes through our bodies, and the rest is passed off as waste. Where does this waste go? It goes right back into the earth where it in turn feeds the soil making the ground rich and fertile so that more food can be produced from it. Can you not see how all of life - all of us - are dependent upon one another for our existence? So smile at all of the people in your life experience, and say, “Thank you for nourishing my life.”

A Worthy Purpose

We share the same purpose for living whether we realize it or not. That purpose is to experience life in its fullness; to awaken to the divinity within us and allow it to stream freely through our consciousness; to discover and strive to let unfold that perfection which is at the very core of our being; to recognize that same perfection in our brothers and sisters with whom we share life, so as to help them on the path to discovering it for themselves. We share a worthy purpose.

We share the same desire; for what is desire but the voice of Our Father within calling us back to His Kingdom where He stands ready to receive us with open arms. It is The Father’s good pleasure to give us His Kingdom - where every desire is fulfilled.

We share consciousness, for it is simply the Mind of God streaming forth into our awareness. With that consciousness we are given the power to choose our thoughts. The thoughts that we allow to predominate in our individual consciousness are the thoughts that we send into our own subconscious mind as well as that of the race. For it is all one stream of consciousness. We are, therefore, responsible for the thoughts we contribute to the collective consciousness of the human race. If humanity is to be lifted up, it must be done as a collective effort. At this stage in the history of humanity there is gathering upon this planet a conglomerate of Light bearing souls who are working to uplift the human consciousness. We can each play a part in this effort by working daily to raise our own individual consciousness and to focus our minds upon the Higher Self within. We can also learn to seek and find the Higher Self of others, and thus help to raise them up in consciousness as well.

Lifestream Meditation

Now let us try an exercise using the Lifestream of consciousness which we all share, to help raise the mass consciousness of the human race.

Concentration is fixation of the mind, the focusing of our objective consciousness, our conscious perception upon stimuli received through the sense perceptors (our five senses). Contemplation is the subjective focus of our consciousness in reasoning, recalling, evaluating, imagining. etc. Both concentration and contemplation are active states of consciousness, for they both require direction through the use of our will.

Meditation is the capacity to attain subliminal states of mind that lay on the stream of consciousness beyond the levels of objective or subjective consciousness. The purpose of meditation is to bring about an elevation of consciousness so that we can reach into the more lofty levels of mind and experience an influx of intuition or inspiration through spiritual attunement. The Spiritual Self contemplates, studies and meditates upon the realm of causes, upon the “things of God.” From this realm of higher heights we gain a wider view and observe from a new vantage point things that cannot be seen from just a narrow mundane level of consciousness. From this realm the Spiritual Self transmits to the physical brain that which the Soul knows and understands.

Presented here is an exercise which if performed will assist you in experiencing the various levels of consciousness. First you will focus your attention by concentration. Then you will contemplate and use your imagination to visualize an experience and raise your consciousness. Then there will be periods of rest and passive meditation when you will allow the Lifestream to flow freely through you enlightening your mind.

You are going on a journey to the center of your own being. You shall follow the Lifestream until you experience yourself as one with it.

Relax, and in your mind's eye, draw a circle with a dot in the center of it. Focus your attention upon that circle. Now gaze upon the dot that stands in the center, and imagine that you see a stream of light coming from its center. This stream of light is the Lifestream that flows throughout the universe and streams through you. The longer you focus upon the Lifestream, the more brilliant and expansive the light becomes until you find yourself totally engulfed in the Light of the Lifestream.

Now close your eyes and relax as you breathe deeply. Turn your thoughts inward and contemplate this powerful Lifestream as it flows throughout your being.

Experience the stream of life as it brings into being new and healthy cells in your body continually replenishing as the old cells die out and return to their source.

Experience the stream of life in your strong heart, vitalized with life as it pumps new and healthy blood cells through your arteries... See all the passageways of your arteries completely clear and free of any blockage, purified by the Lifestream as it flows through each artery, restoring, perfecting, bringing balance, harmony and wholeness to every one of the billions of cells in your body.

Now breathe deeply and feel the Lifestream as it fills your lungs with the "Breath of Life” as it flows through your breathing passages... See all the passageways of your breathing clear and unblocked... Feel the "Breath of Life passing through the clear passageways vitalizing your entire body... See yourself living fully exhibiting the life and breath of God that is yours...

Breathe deeply, and feel your entire body vibrate and tingle with life. - from the tips of your toes. . . on up through your feet your legs... the trunk of your body. Life now streams through every organ within your body, bathing them in love as they do the work for which they were created.. as the perform the duties they were Divinely assigned...

Feel yourself tingling with life as the organs of your body work in harmony with one another. . . creating perfect balance and perfect health within your body temple. Your body is the Temple of the Living God, the perfect channel of God's Lifestream that flows freely through every part of it.

Feel the Lifestream tingling in your fingertips and flowing through your arms... your shoulders... your neck... and into your head... clearing out your nasal passages, unplugging your ears... loosening your tongue to speak freely... brightening your eyes to see clearly... stimulating your brain as it sends forth a message of perfect health throughout your entire Body Temple. You are alive with Divine Life radiating within you and through you.

As the LIFE streams through you, you begin to sense that it is you directing your own flow of life. You direct the flow of your Lifestream to the deeper levels of your being... going deeper and deeper, all the way to the core of your being where you hear the "Still Small Voice" whispering

"BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."
BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I
BE STILL AND KNOW
BE STILL
BE
Remain here awhile and experience the GOD of your being.
BE
BE STILL
BE STILL AND KNOW
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I
BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM
“BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.”

Emerging from the center of your being on this Lifestream is all the LOVE, PEACE, JOY, ABUNDANCE OF SUPPLY, KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM and LIFE there is, and the ONLY GOD there is streams forth from your being. It is yours to direct as you choose. Allow it to flow out from your heart in a whirling spiral that expands its dimension as it streams forth from your inmost being. Send it out with a blessing to everyone in your experience.

Let it whirl out to that difficult person in your family, and raise him/her up...

Let it whirl out to encompass those difficult people on your job, and raise them up...

Let it whirl out to all of your neighbors, and raise them up... Let it whirl out to the alcoholics and drug addicts, and raise them up...

Let it whirl out to that woman on the streets, and raise her up...

Let it whirl out to the thieves, muggers, rapists, murderers, swindlers, all the criminals, and raise them up...

Let it whirl out to all the political figures of every nation on the planet, and raise them up...

Let it whirl out to all those people of the world who, for whatever reason, are feeling a sense of separation from God, and raise them up.

As the spiral expands it encompasses the entire Planet Earth and continues whirling out into the expanse of the universe where the LIFE STREAMS BACK TO ITS SOURCE.

And now we must return, for we still have much work to do on this planet... in this country... in this city... in this room... in our individual lives. The world needs us to let the Light of the Lifestream shine before men, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

- It is done.
