“Golden Elixir is another name for one’s fundamental nature. There is no other Golden Elixir outside one's fundamental nature. All human beings have this Golden Elixir complete in themselves: it is entirely realized in everybody. It is neither more in a sage, nor less in an ordinary person. It is the seed of the Immortals and the Buddha’s, the root of the worthies and the sages.”
Liu Yiming (1734-1821)
Throughout the ages, we have been told that we are a ray of the
One Great Light, a child of the Creator and have a seed within that needs to be
nourished so it may blossom into the fullness of spiritual maturity. I have in the past shared the same thought
with many. Psychologically, I have come
to the conclusion that calling our divine essence a seed is misleading. I know from observation and personal
experience that we are far grander than a seed waiting to be nurtured. I will tell you what I know.
I see us from a different view. Perhaps, you have already heard some of my stories where I have
viewed and felt the presence and spiritual power of other beings. People have told me how they are impacted
by the energy that my true Self emanates.
Let me explain. What was it that
reached out to me when I demanded my young son get out of his bed and be
well? I not only held on to his
outreached physical arms, I was very aware, saw and felt his very large
spiritual arms of light. His spiritual
arms were not the puny limbs of a child but of a giant. We are giants!
Frequently, when watching someone talking, his or her spiritual
eternal form will clearly appear looking enormous and powerful. Instead of stating we have a small seed
within that needs to be nourished and eventually bloom, why not remember we are
spiritual energy waiting to be recognized, respected and allowed to express
through our small physical temporary vehicles?
To look at our identity from this view, we begin to understand that many
religious teachers, poets, songwriters and philosophers, have not judged us
rightly. We are great beings of
intelligent light commonly experiencing a feeling of confinement in an unstable
flesh form.
Why do I see a giant human shaped light form sitting next to an
infant? You may assume it is an
angel. Yes, it could be but I know that
it is the fully blown version of the individual spirit that is not fully
occupying the infant. The life force of
what we are does not confine itself in bodies.
The life force is connected to us but our physical form resides within
the life force of our eternal spiritual form and not the other way around. If this is not true, why do I frequently see
the largeness of our true identity as a light body? Those who are attracted to Sacred Geometry describe our
‘carrier’ as a Merkaba. We are not a
seed but an already formed masterpiece that requires our conscious attention.
We are much more than our typical human description, a body
with a mind and soul. Our essence is
ancient, powerful and is not being acknowledged for what it actually is. Scripture does state that we are gods, not
seeds. The subject of alchemy arises
when we speak of lifting our consciousness by loving, stabilizing,
understanding and using it properly. It
is our responsibility in form to use the necessary discipline to anchor our
light body into the energy of earth life.
What appears as an ordinary consciousness has as its hidden identity a
natural and scientific wisdom and essence we refer to as spirit.
Buddhism is very good at suggesting we detach from conceptual
views and govern the mind in order to produce real knowledge, purging all the
false programming adopted during our long journey. Empowerment happens naturally when we link our conscious mind and
knowingly work with the light. This is
why I urge you to go back to the basics and use genuine effort to remove the ordinary
mind from mundane conditioning and reclaim a reality that is best described as
your everlasting golden Light.
