I love my kids!!!\u00a0 We recently had a conversation, Papa and the 2 year old, that went like this:<\/p>\n
I love you Shemmesh!\u00a0 I love you Papa!\u00a0 I love you Shemmesh!\u00a0 I love you Papa!<\/p>\n
You are so sweet!!\u00a0 I love you Chesca!!\u00a0 Aww you love Chesca??\u00a0 That is soo sweet baby!!<\/p>\n
I come before thee, father, in the love of a child and a parent, the love between children.\u00a0 Each of my inspirations are directed to thee, father, representing the holiness within me.\u00a0 The reason I direct my inspirations toward thee is representing devotion, the earthly part of me being directed and being in alignment with that which is above <\/em>me, with that with is holy, pure and expansive within.\u00a0 I also direct my devotion, my inspiration to the holiness within those who may be listening to or reading this, that purity may find a home in the heart of another and strengthen that which is in them.<\/p>\n Heavenly Father, I am meditating this moment on what it means to seek the lowest point of being.\u00a0 In dreamtime, my dreaming teachers have come and demonstrated several ways of seeking the lowest point of being.<\/p>\n This is the way of nature. The ocean is great because it is the lowest point of water.\u00a0 Sea level is that which all other bodies of water seek, therefore, all flows into the ocean because it is at the lowest point and that is what makes it great.\u00a0 All things seek their lowest point.<\/p>\n When I share this wisdom, there is very little response.\u00a0 People come into a point of stillness and even fear to come across the idea of ‘always seek the lowest point of being.’\u00a0 Even myself, when the dream teachers said that to me I walked away with a troubled heart.\u00a0 It felt like seeking the lowest point of being would be an imposition on others.<\/p>\n The seeking itself is the point.\u00a0 The teaching does not say, “Always insist <\/em>on the lowest point of being,” it says “Always seek.”\u00a0 To seek the lower point.<\/p>\n In thinking about the lower point of being over these couple of days since the dream, I’ve thought of many scenarios.\u00a0 If I am in resistance of any kind to what is in my world, the point of being that I am expressing myself as is standing above it and telling it that it is wrong.<\/p>\n Any moment of resistance, is a moment of standing over life, a moment of standing over the people in your world.<\/p>\n Any moment of gratitude is a moment of taking the lowest point.\u00a0 Truly in any moment there are only two points:\u00a0 The point that is above and the point that is below.\u00a0 Over time, the lowest point is clear, but in the moment there are only two points to choose from.<\/p>\n Resistance is standing above.\u00a0 Any moment of gratitude is taking a point beneath.\u00a0 And the amazing mystery is that the point beneath is actually the point of the greatest control, the greatest power and the point of the greatest allowance of the flow of life to move.<\/p>\n If one is beneath another, they are able to lift the other up, and they are loved in the world as they are accustomed to seeking that point and lifting people up.\u00a0 Everyone loves the person who makes them feel better about themselves.<\/p>\n Everyone wants to know “who am I in your eyes?”\u00a0 And no matter what you say or do, you are constantly answering this question for them, “Who am I in your eyes?”\u00a0 The feedback they get is either higher or lower, or more expansive or less expansive than that which they see themselves.<\/p>\n Seek the lower position that can lift people up.\u00a0 This is only one of hundreds of possible examples of how this position should be sought.\u00a0 If I am a father and holding a child, holding them in my love, guiding them, where am I in relation to them?\u00a0 Am I standing above them and doing so in a way that is just resisting them?\u00a0 Or am I holding them from below, giving them the tools that they themselves need to make the right choices?<\/p>\n Heavenly father, please teach me more and more about seeking the lowest point of being.\u00a0 Show me all the ways that this powerful law of the universe can be applied.\u00a0 <\/p>\n What about God himself:\u00a0 Is God standing above us?\u00a0 Or is He below us?\u00a0 In that which is below us, we find rest.\u00a0 In that which is below us, we are served and not even know it.\u00a0 The divine is invisible in each one and yet serves us in every micro-moment, every millisecond, on the quantum level to allow this world to be in its present form.<\/p>\n God is below us, serving us, blessing us, embracing us and the gifts of life, nature, the earth and of the soul – the divine has made creation without taking any credit, thinking only for the happiness of his children and the experience of life in this world through our eyes.\u00a0 How much love is there expressed in taking such a low position?\u00a0 How much love is there expressed in taking that lowest point of being?\u00a0 Just like all streams and rivers lead to the ocean, the path of all existence leads to God because He takes the lowest point of being.<\/p>\n Seeking to own my divinity, I seek to find ways to serve the people in my world.\u00a0 This metaphor of being beneath, being lower is a powerful image describing what is required in the level of one’s attitude to be able to serve.\u00a0 If one is being asked to serve by the expression of the prayer of another, if I do so insisting my own way of doing it, I am taking a higher position to the prayer of another, taking a higher position to God.<\/p>\n If I cannot serve the prayer of God that can be heard and can be seen, how can I serve the prayer of God which is unseen?\u00a0 If I cannot serve the prayer of my wife, the prayer of my boss, which can be heard, can be seen, how can I serve the prayer of my Heavenly Father, which cannot be heard and cannot seen, except when I am present?\u00a0 For I and my Father are one.\u00a0 This is the law and it applies to every human being.<\/p>\n Always seek the lowest position in beingness.\u00a0 This law is inevitable, for even if as I have done in my life, I stand above my wife, stand above the people in my life, even my boss and tell them the way it should be in whatever way, whether it is my tone or my attitude or my e-mails, seeking the highest place in relation to others.\u00a0 What have I done?\u00a0 I have set myself up to fall, and I have fallen many times in my life because of it.\u00a0 The man who seeks the lowest point of being is always grounded.\u00a0 The man who seeks the lowest point of being is trustworthy, is of service and is filled with the light of gratitude.<\/p>\n And what is gratitude?\u00a0 Gratitude is not sufficiently embodied by the words ‘thank you,’ gratitude is not sufficiently embodied in words of prayer or any kind of words.\u00a0 In fact, gratitude and awareness are inextricably linked.\u00a0 Gratitude starts with awareness of all that is, and ends with praise of all that is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I love my kids!!!\u00a0 We recently had a conversation, Papa and the 2
