Activity is the natural outcome of static Spirit. Like the enormous lake feeds the waterfall, that makes for the river that moves to the sea, so does transcendent Spirit, still and without end, naturally express itself as all creation and its creatures, including mankind.
Mankind is capable of highest consciousness, however as we see signs daily it often times responds to its lowest nature. When we, as humans, put our minds upon attaining supreme God-consciousness, then the battle between lowest and highest natures ensues. Lowest nature is selfish, greedy, fearful, and it can be vicious. Highest nature is loving, kind and full of service.
To attune ourselves to action based on the highest nature requires, we must be mindful of our thoughts, words and actions. We know the difference when we are acting out of our highest nature and when we are responding to the demons within. All sincere aspirants will immediately self-correct when temporarily taken over by the seductive devilish nature and re-align with angelic purity and Light.
The great Khalil Gibran declared that, “Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work…And what is it to work with love? It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth. It is to build a house with affection, even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house. It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit. It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit…”
To be in tune with loving activity we first acknowledge that God is the Source of all movement, from the subatomic electrons to vast galaxies, and everything in-between. Let us not allow a mundane mindset to seep into our lives. Each moment is a unique expression of Spirit, there can be no such thing as “time to kill,” for all time is filled with inexpressible Divine Feeling if we but have the eyes to see and the ears to hear.
First, make daily contact with God within through your deepened communion with the Infinite Spirit. Then mindfully enter into this world of activity by expressing joy, peace and bliss; letting these qualities saturate your thoughts and words and guide your activities. All time and space is filled with sacred vibration, so live life fully and be an instrument of Spirit at all times and in all places.
