Have you ever thought about how many universes are in this one that you're living in?
This
afternoon I was weeding my garden and looked up to see a Stealth
fighter jet, quite low and loud and not so stealthy, streaking across
the sky. Up there, there's a whole universe with it's own language --
the language of flight. It talks in concepts of weight and resistance
and wind and light ... and that's just one sect! The birds have a
totally different yet similar language.
A
few moments later, as I was reaching to the back of the flower bed, a
brilliantly colored insect caught my eye. I watched it climb the stalk
of a lily plant, navigating around the leaves. It was orange and green
and yellow and black stripes. There was another universe, the universe
of insects.
Later
I came in the house and discovered a trail of ants and marveled at the
universe they live in. I realized that even though the beetle I had seen
earlier and the ants lived in the insect universe, they lived in
another universe inside that one, each having it's own methods of
communication. My cats came over to see what I was looking at, and here
was another universe, one which interacted with mine quite well.
I
have many houseplants who are living in their own universe. My
housemate lives in her own universe, as do I, as do you. Universe upon
universe, overlaying each other at times and yet always complete in
their own way.
It
made me think of Jesus' statement "In my Father's house there are many
mansions..." and I had a new understanding: The universe is not only the
body of God, it is where It dwells. Whether insect, airplane, animal or
human, there is a place for everything. We can count on this and be
grateful. All is God.
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
In
the cosmic scheme of things, there is only One, yet that One is
individuated into countless onenesses. 'The Center is everywhere, the
circumference is nowhere" as Emerson wrote. I now have a deeper
appreciation of this Oneness and the uniqueness that comes from it. I am
a unique expression of The One.
I
choose to honor all God is in my life. I see the differences even while
I know the unity of all things at a deep cellular level. All my
judgments drop away and I celebrate uniqueness as a divine art form. I
choose to love my own differences, knowing they are what make me
authentically me. It is all God - all Good.
With a grateful heart, I release these words knowing they are so, and so it is.
