When an idea is beginning to form, and the muse is leaving subtle thoughts planted as seeds along the roadway of life, life does sometimes get in the way. The events of our physical worlds take precedence in those situations like weeds strangling our tiny buds of inspiration. This happens because we creatives are too used to being schooled by our physical worlds alone.

Your wisdom. My wisdom. The intelligence of the universe is always readily available to all. Always. The collective consciousness I write of is not born from my personal knowledge. I did not invent infinite wisdom. It is readily available to all.

The awakening into the all-knowing wisdom of the universe is an awakening of the dormant consciousness within.

Awakening of consciousness is just one of the steps upon the pathway of human evolution. All people, from every continent and since the dawn of history, have been raised and trained on physical reality alone. When will we realize that we are beings of two bodies? A physical and a spiritual.

In fact, our existence across the past two thousand years has been grossly skewed towards the physical, not the spiritual, realm of our being.

From early childhood, we receive instruction, both at school and at home, in how to live, function and participate in the physical world.

We neglect to remember we are both physical and spiritual beings.

Besides what we receive from the odd sampling of spiritual guidance at home, many of us have attained only a limited spiritual understanding of ourselves to date. The spiritual guidance we receive across our lifetimes is measured by our experiences and knowledge of the physical world. It is so because the physical world is all that seems available to us. We are relying on the physical world to rationalize and understand our spiritual experiences!

Of course, some among us are more predisposed than others to push beyond human physical understanding and probe the reaches of enlightened spiritual wisdom. It is still, though, something we can all work on no matter who we are.

Special people throughout history, up to and including today, bring awareness of the spiritual world to light so the rest of us can better understand it. We can think of these special individuals as “messengers”. This group includes people such as Martin Luther, Jesus, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Buddha, and countless others.

Such messengers teach us that peace, abundance, truth, prosperity, joy, passion, freedom, acceptance, and enlightenment all originate from within us. Not from the physical world outside us, as we have so often been misled into believing since the very dawn of civilization.

The evolution of our existence is at an ideal stage to usher in a time of creative expression. We no longer rely on hunting and gathering for our survival as a species. In almost every first-world country today, we can meet all our needs and desires with the click of a button or the delivery of a package on our doorstep.

At no other point in history have we had such an opportunity to explore the spiritual facets of our being, from the comfort of our own homes no less. We have the chance, for the first time in history, to devote time and energy to creative inspirations and to Maslow’s fifth human need of self-actualization.

That is, of course, unless we allow ourselves to be overcome and consumed by the happenings of the physical world and all its concomitant strifes.
