PEOPLE TRY TO CAPTURE DIVINITY IN A TEST TUBE
People try to capture Divinity in a test tube but cannot. Because the very test tube is Divinity itself – so, what is capturing what?
Everything is Divine, pure, and simple. We make it difficult and complex because we live in the Western world and are very technologically oriented.
We won’t push buttons for everything. On the spiritual path, this is not possible—there is no instant pudding or instant coffee. One has to walk it alone.
Only by yourself can you find the Divinity within you. No one else can find it for you.
The spiritual master gives you guidelines. A spiritual master gives you a little push. A spiritual master ignites a spark. But you have to fan that spark to experience the great big fire – the fire of Divinity. And that fires you up to live a life of joy, of peace and of harmony.
YOUR AWARENESS IS YOU
You are like a computer, and this computer – that you are – functions at different levels and in various stages of evolution. So, the more highly developed the computer that you are, the more aware you become of your possibilities; that means developing a greater awareness where you know and no button pushing is necessary.
The computer within us is built in such a fashion that all parts are known in their fullness, and all parts are known in their separateness.
Like Mozart, he could see the wholeness of the symphony and be aware of its various parts.
You—the computer—do not need to feed information; you need to extract it. You extract this information from the deeper levels of yourself, from the superconscious level of the mind through the subconscious and then to the conscious level, where you can recognize your value and your worth and become aware of your awareness.
This means that you have to become aware of your awareness, and your awareness is you. The technology within you can be so activated that you need nothing outside of yourself.
You do not possess a soul; you are the soul. You do not possess a spirit; you are the spirit.
