“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. “
~ 1 Corinthians 2:9 ~

“… always remain open at the top for new insights. And, from that point, spiritual awareness can expand indefinitely.”
~ Ernest Holmes ~

From time to time, I am reminded of the parable of The Blind Men and An Elephant. It always puts into perspective for me, the vastness of Spirit.

If you are unfamiliar with the story or need a refresher, the following should suffice:

“The Blind Men and An Elephant is a story of a group of blind men who have never come across an elephant before and who learn and imagine what the elephant is like by touching it. Each blind man feels a different part of the animal’s body, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk. They then describe the animal based on their limited experience and their descriptions of the elephant are different from each other. In some versions, they come to suspect that the other person is dishonest and they come to blows. The moral of the parable is that humans have a tendency to claim absolute truth based on their limited, subjective experience as they ignore other people’s limited, subjective experiences which may be equally true.” (Wikipedia)

Prayer Practitioners often begin their prayer treatment with the words, “This is What I know!”  They go on to declare, claim, describe, and affirm the Truth they know to be so. This is an effective practice, inasmuch as Ernest Holmes states. “With even the most rudimentary understanding of Mind, any person can use thought to solve day-to-day problems.”

The point is, whatever you know about God is sufficient. So, simply start right where you are in consciousness. With conviction declare what you know is so. Then, practice that principle as a way of life.  In so doing, not only is the good you seek revealed in your life; you also slip into a greater awareness of The Presence expressing in, through, and as you.

Let us continue to move from glory to glory, anchored in an unwavering faith in the goodness that awaits us beyond what we presently see.
