Meditation #4 - Why Would The Omnipotent Want To Experience Limitations?After you've spent enough time with Exercises 1 - 3 (I spent years on them, and still continue to practice!) then you have 'built your Thought Experiment Vehicle'.When you've become comfortable with how intertwined we are with earthly limitations, it is time to 'fuel your Thought Experiment Vehicle' with a great leap of FAITH. WHAT IF our existence here on earth is simply, and only, for experiencing limitations? For GOD so loved the world, They wanted to participate, and agreed to be bound by elemental forces. I've come to believe that we are God's angels - with the task of carrying the Holy Spirit within ourselves - to deliver to the Almighty our unique experience of a mortal, earthly life. How could it be that The Omnipotent Being would WANT to experience the limitations that we face every day? Wouldn't it be better to exist without pain, fear, doubt? How many times have we dreamt of being ethereal and Unlimited! We could stop worring about how our body looks or feels. We could make loved ones and pets live forever, stop wars and hunger, erase all pain and fear. But without LIMITATIONS, would there be any such thing as emotions or 'feelings'? Minus all needs, pain and fear, the answer is logically NO. Would there be creativity, if necessity is the mother of invention? What about humor? Poetry, art, music? You will expand your comfort with these ideas if - like Exercises 1-3 - you learn to tune your mind to NOTICE not only limitations all around us, but what miracles grow from them! MUSIC is a multi-faceted example. The player's artistry, emotions, and skill are required, but also the instrument itself - making its sounds thanks to a shapely wooden or metal configuation that contains (limits) air in a certain way. Do you begin to see how LIMITATIONS are integral? What other examples will you discover? Back to Homepage |
