During this New Year’s Eve Talk I spoke about having a theme for this coming year by creating a word or phrase that best articulates your primary intention for the year. When I was contemplating last year’s theme, Pilgrimage came clearly into focus for both Carla and I—perhaps this is no great surprise to you, my faithful readers of these postings. Seven months and as many thousands of miles around North America revealed the many spiritual treasures found in this great land—nature’s cathedrals, magnificent basilicas, synagogues and humble wood clad churches, all radiating their unique and uplifting vibrations. When these holy sites come to mind now, I feel them still resonating within; a blessing endowed by nature, saints and sincere devotees of God who have imbued these places with a hallowed beneficence for all—especially for those spiritually attuned.
Coming to this year, it is now a perfectly new palette upon which to create. What does God wish for the coming year? This is the question that is with me now. 2016 was about creating perfect health, and 2015 was about endings and transitions—with the specter of death constantly near me. For this coming year I know the general feeling, this intuitive sense is perhaps best expressed as: new creations. Creating Mother Hamilton’s books is definitely on the program for new creations. I will continue to make progress with these books, in joyful cooperation with those devotees who are working hard on making Mother’s transcripts available in book form.
Other creations are coming forward as well; Cross and Lotus website improvements, materials for our children with spiritual themes, stories and artwork, and support for Centers and aspirants to make rapid success in Self-realization, as well as some percolating thoughts about home design. All creation begins with an idea on a causal level—everything starts with a conception. Not all ideas achieve physical manifestation—some fulfill themselves as an idea only. And some concepts are seeds for the future-they will not see manifestation immediately, but continue to hold great power for their eventual results.
For many years Mother spoke of her intention to author books; however, this did not materialize during her lifetime. However, through her weekly Talks, Mother was very busy producing the materials that we can now use for that purpose. Her idea-intention of writing books, expressed so many years ago, will find fruition by what is being done now—this is the power of God’s will expressed through Mother as a causal creation, and using us—her willing instruments—to bring it to completion.
When you have the impulse to create, seek out first the will of God in the matter. This attuning to Spirit avoids false starts, wasted energy, and wrong directions. With clarity of intention, bring the idea into clear view. Some concepts come whole and complete, all in a flash. Many ideas come in seedling form, needing encouragement and attunement to bring out the details. For this work a calm mind with a pure intention—not selfish or doubting—is the best encouraging soil for seed-creations. Then fertilize the seed-ideas with vibrant energy from your enthusiasm and positive vision. With pure intention from the highest light and having clarity of purpose and positive energy, take vigorous and active steps toward fulfilling your goal. Attune your mind to the fact that this is God’s work, even if it is a material goal such as manifesting prosperity (for all life comes from God). From the very beginning, through the middle parts and all the way to its completion, God supplies all that you require to have the causal idea, the positive energy and all you need for the accomplishment of your intention.
By taking these steps with active attunement to infinite supply you have strength and courage when obstacles present themselves. There are some who see obstacles as “signs” they should not continue to the completion of their intentions. But honestly, what greatness of purpose has not met with opposition from every side? If doubt assails you, refer to your first step of knowing that this is God’s will. When you have thoroughly done this inquiry in the first place, then it will serve you as a touchstone to God’s pure intention—feeling its strength and purity of purpose. Open yourself to the unlimited resources of God, feel that abundance is flowing to you through creative ideas, the right help from others, new energy infusion and material resources—all flowing to you, through you and out to the world from you. You are His instrument, and God delights in making you His co-creator.
It is exciting to have a pristine canvas upon which to create as we enter the new year. Know that, being made in the likeness and image of God, you too are a joyful creator. Make this year the greatest yet for being His instrument in manifesting His Light, His joy, and His positive creations—all done for the highest good of all.
