Grace and Clarity

Every now and then we get a chance to evaluate the kind of impact we are making on the world around us.  Whatever means the Universe uses to give us this reality check, it is not one to waste.  In such moments, we are afforded a critical opportunity to check in with how we are affecting the shared existence of humankind and all of Nature.  The Guides recently shared a clear indicator of how we can know we are manifesting high-quality Energy around us:

“This is the proof of having shared love with someone: all involved are inspired to action.”

Clear as a bell, isn’t it?  When others touch our lives in love–the love of compassion, patience, selflessness, forgiveness–we find ourselves inspired to give or create or pass it on in some way.  And when we touch another’s spirit with love we can see the fruits of that love ripening in their lives too, which in turn inspires us to keep giving more.

Of course, we do not give in love just so we can applaud the harvest of our shared Energy.  Instead, we scatter the seeds of loving kindness everywhere we go, as often as we can.  Then if we ever doubt our ability to uplift others, we can smile at the radiant inner gardens others are growing and know, “I helped create beauty there!”

Over the years I have heard of many philosophies which espouse the idea of rejecting the physical world in favor of spiritual endeavors only.  I myself spent several years apart from society in an attempt to devote myself entirely to spiritual practice, only to find that even in the most rarefied environments our practical lessons find us!

Indeed, the Guides and Angels remind us that we are in this physical reality for a reason.  Perhaps that reason is to learn balance, perhaps it is to learn the mystery of paradox, perhaps it is just to enjoy the gifts of the bountiful Earth as we grow.  Whatever the reason, the Guides remind us that the two realms are compatible and are meant to work together for our Evolution:

“Today is another day to breathe and to live and to enjoy.  But it is also an opportunity to reaffirm to yourself that you are as sensitive to the Divine Voice as ever, even as you dive into your physical existence.”

May we always remember that we are in this unique reality of both form and formless for a reason.  To deny one in favor of the other is to live a partial existence, bereft of the opportunities of growth waiting to assist us.  Balance is not an easy pose to strike, but it is one that brings us the ultimate in physical joy and spiritual growth!
