As I scooped the water from the lagoon it occurred to me that what I had was more than just water it was the universe suspended in my very hand.
When we look around us we can see the many facets of life as they appear to be. But what of the deeper and less obvious elements? Could it be that if instead of a concrete set of rules we are in fact experiencing many different manifestations all at once?
If you think about it, we are, many times during a single day, living both mentally, physically and spiritually all at the same time. Our mental facility is always active whether we feel it or not, our physicality exists because we will it to be and our spirituality is a manifestation of both. But what happens then when one of our "elements" are absent?
When we loose one component the other two become more intense, just as a blind man's hearing and sense of smell. We always compensate for the loss.Therefore if we should want to experience one or the other of our senses more in depth we really only need to diminish the others. By means of meditation. We can reach various places in our sphere that hold the key to the others and they in turn can lead us to each as well. The point of this exercise it seems to me is that we all can, at any moment, cross over from one level to another in order to adjust our attitude and our direction.
It has been said "as above so below" and I might add as inside so without. Once again I feel that I am in the middle a gigantic soup of matter and energy. Everyday is a new one and always there is the possibility to accomplish anything that we desire if we only scoop up a handful of it's essence and drink deeply in its magic!
