Wisdom-Spiritual Riches I

Wisdom  for the day

As a young mum of 5, I had a deep hunger to know the best way to mould and care for my babies.

Materialistically, I had grown up with little and still had about that, but I started to explore God’s wisdom to find the answers and guidance I sought. I studied what I found in the Bible but also relied a lot on the wonderful connection I felt between me and God and His love for me.

The following passages became mantra-like for me. To know that I’d been granted access to the same forces that framed the universe gave me incredible inspiration.

Pr3:19-20

“BY wisdom the Lord laid the Earth’s foundations, and by understanding He set the heavens in place.

By knowledge the mountains were formed and the clouds let drop their dew.”

Pr 24:3-4

“By wisdom a house is built & by understanding it is established

                By knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.”

I concluded from these verses that God had given me the exact same abilities to raise my family (build my house) as he used to create perfection in the universe. And in James we read that we can simply ask God if we find ourselves in need of wisdom and he’ll freely give it to us (Jam 1:5)

Obviously wisdom is more than a lofty ideal. It has potent practical application.

Wisdom at the beginning of all things

Just as Pr 3 states, wisdom was from the beginning. The book of Proverbs espouses the countless benefits of walking in wisdom’s counsel. Silver, gold, honour, long life, health, safety, practical knowledge and rewarding relationships are ALL listed as blessings offered through Wisdom. Who of us doesn’t want these things and yet how often we ignore what’s available to us in the form of Wisdom, in order to acquire them? Or try to find other places that share some of these truths without encountering God because Ego doesn’t want to face Judgment. But Truth is God. Eternal. Unchanging.

Of course, it isn’t about knowing the theory of wisdom, it is about reshaping one’s beliefs to harmonise with this Logic of God. And when a person starts out on that path, that’s when he finds just how much he has been alienating himself from the Truths of God’s wisdom, understanding and knowledge. Prov 2 and Prov 8 are particularly good for a description of and the benefits surrounding Wisdom. And also the level of dedication it takes to attain her company and blessing. Nothing short of your complete commitment will yield these returns. Total alignment-and once aligned...the rest follows.

No Punishment Today

Proverbs 1:7 opens with the concept that the “fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom” but ‘fear’ here is referred to “a reverential respect” for God and his ways...not a terror of being punished by him. God isn’t punishing anyone at this point and if anyone tells you differently, you can say that Jesus bore the punishment of ALL of, not only your past , present and future “sin”, but everyone’s past, present and future shortcomings! Anyone willing to accept this can be free of judgment, come boldly to God’s throne of Grace and experience God’s peace.

And then, on the other hand, if you encounter someone who tells you there’s no need to receive forgiveness then evaluate the fruit of their self worth.

Perhaps some can find a way to get free of judgment another way, but I’ve not really encountered it. Somewhere along the line, I find people come to a place where they can’t forgive themselves and so suffer self inflicted guilt. This is the guilt that destroys us.  Telling oneself it’s ok is not the same as freedom-trust me!

The antidote to a poor self worth is being LOVED as you are. God does this but if he hadn’t provided a gateway for man to approach him, we would still be running and hiding like Adam, when God wanted to come and commune with us. Because we feel GUILTY!

 We can’t even reason WHY we feel bad, or why we feel the need to justify. The mind and heart become an endless labyrinth-an abyss of rationalisms. Personally, I gave up trying to understand and just accepted that I can enjoy freedom from judgment without having to analyse it, by surrendering to Wisdom.

To accept this “wisdom of God” opened my heart and keeps it open to receive whatever other insights I need to live well.

To Live As I Was Designed

So I believe I was created and fashioned to live as a mini version of God, co-creating together with God using the laws he established through wisdom , understanding and knowledge ( AKA law of Attraction/ Love). In French, “knowledge” is translated “la science”. I love this as it signifies the affinity rather than enmity of God and Science. Religion and Science have had issues, but the truth about God is SCIENCE. Science just takes a little while to catch up and make instruments that measure what was previously “invisible”.

I want the wealth God intended for me...all of it! And every kind of it promised to those who walk with Wisdom.

Making Moments (thru focussing on the feeling)

A Light to my Path

Many years ago, I found a few Proverbs that becam a great source of inspiration to me.

They spoke of how we can create our lives, and how we do it exactly the same that Source created ALL, and continues to create.

"Through wisdom a house is built,
Through understanding it is established
by knowledge its rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures" Pr 24:3-4
When I found this verse so long ago, I knew I wanted to build my house this way, and I wanted those treasures. All of them. Every kind of them.

And I did it. I spent my life as a mum, creating and documenting all the rare treasures. Every room had memories and memorabilia that spoke of 'moments'. Beads of NOW all strung together that make a decor that no paint could match. Altho, I did eventually get to paint too!

Still, I don't think I realised how 'aligned' I was.

Like Father Like daughter
I also found this proverb:
"By wisdom the Lord laid the earyh's foundations
by understanding he put the heavens in place
by his knowledge the deep was divided
and the clouds let drop their dew " Proverbs 3 -19-20

When I realised that I had access to the very same 'power' that created all, and that that was what I needed to build my house/hold (home), I was awestruck.

This is why I have the mantra "like Father, like Daughter" I want to create like the ultimate creator does. The way I believe I am designed to create. This is why I'm so in love with Love/God. This Being that tells me secrets and reveals mysteries, adn has always promised to do so.

My children grew up knowing how to make the most of a moment.

NOW this is ETERNAL life

How I interpret that today, is in multiple concepts, but basically, the bottom line : THERE IS ONLY NOW
There is only EVER NOW. We live in EVER NOW. to truly understand and choose to live in the NOW is to be free.
But there are other 'benefits' that come with this understanding.
When you understand that you have only now, you begin to get a better idea of 'how to ask' for those things you desire.

It is not THINGS,or people, that we want. It is the feeling that we believe HAVING those things or relationships will give us, that we actually desire.

That being the case, we can ask MUCH more wisely for what we want. And we're also able to begin to receive the experience of it IMMEDIATELY, which leads to emerging physicalities, which in turn perpetuate the feeling of NOW HAVING and create more again...until we've had our fill of that experience.

I call that initial experience cultivating 'the state of being'. Abraham has referred to it as 'the feeling place'. I used to simply think of it as effective meditation. But basically it is about thinking about it, to the point of engaging your senses and your emotions so that they respond to the thought. Like a lucid dream

I can see, this is what I was doing way back all those years ago, to create rare and beautiful treasures.I still do it. But now I do it with an entirely new level of understanding and deliberate intention like never before. Now, I can ask for anything...and immediately HAVE IT.

DELIVERY MODES
It happens different ways all the time. SOmetimes my eyes are simply 'opened' to see that "all things are mine', and from then on I can see what I was missing before, and it generates that state of having form that moment. I have received all from that moment. It's only a matter of stringed together NOWS before it is fully emerged.This is one of the SINGLE MOST STARTLING THINGS! o my goodness, what we can be blind too!! Conversely, glorious revelation is to be had as well!

Other times, I have actual encounters or physical experiences that provide the stimulus for the state. Little 'signs' along the way, of being aligned, and to nourish the dream into being.

And still other times, it just goes BOOM! and it's ALL THERE IN ALL ITS SPLENDOUR, just as was asked!

All delivery modes are equally divine and perfect. Intricate in their detail and path to us, and all deserving of copious amounts of wonder and gratitude. They come via pathways, and connections that seem so random and marvellously disconnected, yet so bizarrely timed and magically synchronized. As it says in "The Alchemist" "all things are written by the one hand".
When you know we are One energy field, and that there is ONE fantastic mind, of which our consciousness is a tiny individuated fragment, then you begin to grasp how it all works together so well.

HMmmm....

Not sure i've captured it so well-in this blog anyway, but it sure is captured well in my living!
All about me, I am surrounded by the NOWS I've given birth to, that are delivering moments of experience that fill my heart with measureless beauty and boundless joys, and all very traceable to my NOW connections, where I become consciously ONE with the desired state of BEING.

May you know this LIFE! :-)
