A new approach to ourselves
If we commit ourselves to knowing divine truth, we will increasingly experience life as being the all-important thing that it is. And we won’t keep confusing this with the body—the manifestation—that houses the spark.
Our consciousness, which is all we know ourselves to be, is not bound to our body. And yet, particles of our consciousness will remain in every cell—in every molecule and in every atom—of the matter that our consciousness created.
Our bodies, then, are reflections and expressions of our consciousness. But when our consciousness withdraws from this body, it will continue to exist, unaffected and unchanged from the way we know it now.
The body will seem to then disintegrate.
But it too goes through an immense process in which every cell goes on to find new cells and create new forms, making room for new vehicles.
Every cell that is left behind harbors within it a spark—a tiny spark—of that life. Those tiny sparks travel through channels that follow laws of attraction and repulsion. These laws are impossible for human consciousness to understand.
Since every particle of matter contains aspects of consciousness, there can be no cells in a dead body that aren’t expressions of the total personality that enlivened and animated it.
This is what determines the future journey of these cells as they disintegrate and reintegrate.
When cells reunite and form new combinations, they create genes. These genes within the human structure change as consciousness changes. They aren’t the same today as they will be tomorrow and a few years from now, provided the person is growing and moving.
We may be wondering: how does this relate to learning self-forgiveness, on the one hand, and self-confrontation on the other?
This is an important question.
There is a deep but extremely relevant connection between these elements: self-hate, fear of punishment, fear of death and the disintegration of the cell structure that falls into a channel and then is attracted into a new form.
Here is the explanation. Our thoughts are creations. And they have their own cell structure and their own matter. But the density of thought is invisible to us.
Now consider that if we are living in a split-off reality, we are going to need to hate ourselves if we want to face the truth about our Lower Self. Either that, or we are going to have to deny the truth about our Lower Selves in order to not hate ourselves and fear our dying—our not existing.
This locks us into a pattern—creating the same thought forms again and again: confusion and suffering.
But what if we take an entirely new approach to ourselves? Although, to be fair, this is both entirely new and yet not so new.
What if we allowed the God within us—the part we can access the moment we choose—to be in the state of self-love, in the most divine and healthy way? With no trace of self-indulgence or denial of what is currently true in our Lower Self.
Just compassion for our struggle.
Just respect for our wonderful honesty—even if what we’re looking at is our dishonesty.
What if we choose other thoughts than the current patterns we take for granted?
Our habitual peace-robbing thoughts are our worst enemy.
Yet we let them stay.
What if we got a little distance from them and stopped animating them with self-hate, distrust and hopelessness?
Facing our Lower Self means we deserve some mercy when we die —some forgiveness. And how about some of that love we have been praying for, for a long time?
We’ve been asking a God who lives outside us to give us this. To please be kind and merciful and loving to us.
What if we just stopped withholding this from ourselves?
