December 1993: Manifest the New Year
Many Blessings of Love and Light to everyone for the journey that is yet to manifest in 1994 and beyond. A “new” year for many of us brings awareness of the “new” hope and “new” faith for a good “new” year, and we make out our new resolutions to do this...and this...and this...! The excitement for the New Year grows as our minds reach out in front of us to manifest all of our resolutions.
Thus the time is here for you to become more aware of what you are doing and looking for in life.
At one point in this lifetime, I looked only to manifest material things for the New Year; that is to say, what I could gain materially speaking. Then my desires grew from "things” to wanting to manifest certain types of situations, people, and environments around me in life. Now finally I am at the point where I desire more and more Divine Knowledge. To me, Diving Knowledge is more than just hearing the words of the Divine; for me it is living the experience of that which is Divine. Many people and students get stuck in their minds about what is Divine. For instance, love is Divine, but instead of working with trying to experience love, they will get involved with love only through their minds and not though their feelings. Another example of Divine Knowledge is being able to forgive. Many will talk and think about forgiveness, and even understand that if they cannot forgive someone, that someone becomes their own stumbling block. They will not be able to go forward to get around that block until they can experience forgiveness in their hearts.
Let this year be one where we resolve to work towards going beyond the words and thoughts to experience and manifest Divine Knowledge in our lives. As more individuals choose to manifest Divine experiences in life, the greater the illumination of light within all consciousness will be. So instead of just words and thoughts of love and forgiveness, we can as a group consciousness begin to experience love and forgiveness in our hearts. Through the human mind we have lost our way and forgotten who we really are. When we begin to remember who we really are, we begin experiencing and expressing the Divine presence of God. And, as we manifest the Divine in the individual consciousness, we increase the awareness of love and forgiveness in the collective consciousness.
So for the New Year the greatest resolution I make and can make for myself is to be open to the experiences I need in order to grow in and with wisdom of what is Divine.
Namaste,
Chetana
