Creative Beings

My very gifted psychic friend Ronda Del Boccio told me how she used to be able to tell when people had Covid. I have heard how certain breeds of dogs have been trained to sniff out various diseases. I’ve never heard of someone looking at people and knowing they had a disease. It may well be another instance where her blindness makes her able to see what most of us cannot perceive.

Two plus years into this epidemic she has lost that ability. Too many of us have been ill. Too many have died. The virus has mutated too many times.

Like hybrid roses which are created and bred for various strengths, diseases recreate themselves in new and worse ways unless there is human intervention.

Creating everything from hybrid corn to roses demands remarkable patience and ingenuity. Halting the growth of viruses which live to kill demands yet greater patience and ingenuity.

Being creative with our spirituality?

Imagine limitless possibilities. Because that is precisely what exists. Some things are beyond our imagining. We can imagine going to the bottom of the seas and to the furthest reaches of outer space. Science and recent experience tell us this can be done.

What about going to the deepest reaches of our inner being? What if there is more to us than what we see? Crazy as it sounds, what if there is more to us than meets the eye?

Like my disease sniffing friend, there are people who sniff out spiritual malaise. We can search our spiritualities on our own. We sift through them as we find how we can change and grow to better fit into our own skins.

Sometimes we are unexpectedly blessed. We find a teacher has been waiting for us to appear. The teacher has waited for that person whom he or she knows has the desire to create a larger being for themselves. And it is us.

The teacher knows from experience that when we grow deeper, go more deeply inside our souls, we become larger.

Our spirits expand. It’s not always easy when that happens. Our teacher or another teacher appears in our lives to guide us in what to do as we grow and become the greater self we are meant to be.

Our spiritual creativity is a challenge. We learn to grow and become more ourselves through the course of growing. A useful way I find to look at growing through the period of spiritual change is that it’s similar to being a teenager, except it’s focused on our inner life. We change at a rate almost faster than we can sustain.

Different people experience different things as a result of spiritual growth. Some discover they are more comfortable in their own skins. Whether they are around people all day or live solitary lives, each spiritual exploration expands their world.

There is the saying about how people can look right through others. It’s a nice idea, if not completely inaccurate.

In rare instances in this world some people are able to see the souls of other people. When they look at a person, they not only see the physical self, but they see the spiritual self. They may see the halo — commonly called “aura” — of another. They may see the person’s soul as well. The inner spiritual being.

You will never know when or if someone sees your soul. It’s not something that is announced on the evening news.

When we are seen, we have to decide what it is we want to see about ourselves and what we want others to see in our souls. Do we create new and bigger and better souls in our spiritual lives when we have the opportunity? Do we create opportunities for others to see us? To see who we really are?

I heard someone say that if he was waiting for an email from God in his inbox, he thought he would have a very long wait. Maybe it’s true. Maybe not.

That is not my life. I don’t just expect emails from God.

I expect personal appearances.

Daily.

And I get them.

Often unexpectedly.

It can be very disconcerting to find myself wide awake at two or three in the morning to find God waiting for me. I wish it were more unusual than it is. All things considered, I’d rather wait a few hours and wake up to a cup of joe and corned beef hash and eggs. Seeing God sitting beside me on my bed telling it’s time to work in the middle of the night is never part of my plan.

But it’s part of the Creator’s plan to open me up to finding the spiritually creative being inside me. To bring that self out into the light.

Forget your expectation not to get emails from God. Check your inbox.

It may be overflowing.
