The Great Spirit is Within You
Good afternoon, ladies, and gentlemen. My theme this afternoon is a quote from Silver Birch, a Spirit Being channelled by Maurice Barbanell for over 40 years, and how this can impact our lives.
The quote is, “The Great Spirit is within you all and,…greater than all things are the powers of the Great Spirit within you which, if you would but allow them to function and to express themselves, would enable you to walk the earth like gods.”
Wow! Powerful stuff!
For me, this illustrates the First and Second Principles of Spiritualism – that God is the creator of all creation and thus all is the manifestation of the Divine Consciousness and all is of the Divine. Therefore, there must be a unity in everything that is. For mankind that is a “Brotherhood.” We are all of the same cloth as it were; equally loved, equally worthy and equally powerful!
Thus, we can do, (and, I believe, all could do), the most amazing things! Just think of the great achievements of men and women in the past. Great discoveries in philosophy, science and engineering leading to huge advances in technology and our civilisation.
And the physical achievements; climbing mountains, taking voyages and flights over oceans and continents and into space, not to forget the Olympics, and in the arts; music, dance, and literature. This is all very ample evidence of what humanity is capable of!
Now, the single point about all these achievements was, and is, that those who attempted them believed wholeheartedly that they could be done. So, they imagined themselves doing these things long before they achieved them. Thus, they manifested from their divine consciousness a new reality.
So, we do everything first by thought/imagination then by action. Just think about it for a moment and I believe you will agree with me that what we concentrate on is our reality. Put simply, we get what we think!
Remember the mechanics of it. All creation comes from consciousness first, from within us and then, it is manifested in what we understand as physical reality.
For instance, my wife and I did it with the house we bought and live in now. We spent months planning for what we wanted; the size, bedrooms, layout, a very large window at the back, decent garden, location (very important) – and we got all of it and just within budget too!
I would guess that some of you, perhaps many of you, have done this in the past. You might have thought it luck at the time. It was not. It was your divine consciousness at work manifesting a new reality.
Some might argue that we cannot all get what we want because there are limitations; not enough money, resources, etc., to go round. Wrong! Creation is infinite! There is always enough for what you want.
I hope that I have made clearer for you the “nature” of creation, the unity of all things and how that makes us all so powerful if only we would put our minds to it. If only we have faith in ourselves and our power. We can achieve good and great things both for ourselves and for society and walk the earth like gods!
Thank you for listening.
