"Beyond the Box" - Rev. Clarke Carraway on 2/13/22 | The Metaphysical Church of Enlightenment
Imagine you are living in an invisible atomosphere that envelopes your whole body. It is created by you.All of the information that tries to enter your protective atomsphere will be filtered and selected by your subconsciousness. You can cast off this atmosphere and move beyond it but it will require receptivity, curiosity, creativity, and courage. You can change your perception by slipping into another awareness that can support you. Learn to change the way you think about things. Learn to think outside the box. Enter into new worlds. Question your current awarenss of reality. Find the willingness to try a different perspective on the way you view life. Create a new invisible atmosphere that gains you entrance into new realities.
Life moves, always, it is never stagnant. It's only when you get still with life that you can be a witness to the unchanging stillness and yet ever moving expression and expansion of life that is. In this performance, I have strived to open myself as an instrument for life to move through me as it would a branch in a tree, through the notes that I have been influenced to play and the sound that I have been inspired to pursue.
In case you haven't noticed it, the world we know is changing. We, as a species, are evolving into more enlightened versions of our former selves. We are developing an 'ascension' awareness that both facilitates and accelerates the expansion of consciousness. The human perspective is rapidly changing. This is bringing forward extrasensory perceptions. Intuition is leading the way into 5D reality. It actually becomes our primary guidance system. Instead of thinking our way through life, we begin to feel our way. Intuition leads the way!
There's a language or communication ability of your spiritual heart. You were born with it this life. To develop it you need these skills - Learn to listen. Become a keen observer. Practice self-reflection. Use the language of the enlightened spiritual heart to connect with God. Listen to the language of the heart for it reveals God's intentions and inspires us to a generous response.
Today's lecture looks at the biblical story of the ten commandments and their possible origins. There is also the consideration of an omitted commandment and why. Lastly a look at a new set of commandments. These can be seen as current commandments for living a Spiritual Life with the omitted commandment included.
Synchronicity reveals that the material world is not mere gross matter but the unconscious intelligence of God playing out through our own being. All forms of matter have the same intelligence within them at different degrees of magnitude. The intelligence of God synchronizes with the external world when one lives with effortless action. This trust and allowing harmonizes both the inner and outer world through the language of synchronicity.
The hammer dulcimer originated in Persia around 900 A.D., related to one of the early models of the psaltery of those days. Then it is said to have arrived in North Africa, and sometime between 900 and 1200 AD, the Spanish Moors and returning Crusaders brought it to western Europe where it was popularized. Today we are blessed to have Jim Wells and Marie Carbonneau perform hammered dulcimer duets today with Jim also blending in the Native Flute.
Community talents and husband and wife team, Norman & Kristina Tiedemann team up to deliver a beautiful and sweet farewell performance to our beloved church home of 41 years, the Burlingame Womens Club. PS - no worries - we're looking for a new home to resume services in the fall :)
A Lecture at the Metaphysical Church of Enlightenment on Sunday, October 25th, 2020.
Awakening to our spiritual nature involves recognizing a higher power that is greater than ourselves. This power is known by many names-God, Creator, Source Infinite Spirit and is the all-encompassing energy that is moving through our universe and permeating our everyday lives. God knows us because God is us. Our awakening includes consciously embracing this reality to the extent we become more and more Godlike. We live love. We live peace. We live cooperation.
One of Jesus' revelatory statements was " As you believe, so is it unto you". Many will agree this is true but few pursue the implications. Here we all are experiencing belief as it is being projected upon all humanity. At the same time, millions are experiencing awakening. This spiritual process quite often reveals the limiting nature of existing belief systems and the attending presence of ego. Discover the "you" who believes as you do making your reality as it is. Then you can change it if you see fit.
