Living Under the Government of the Divine Infinite Principle Every day we are faced with countless choices. What should we eat? What should we wear? Where should we live? Is it best to do this or that, go here or there, work or play, be practical or throw caution to the wind and take unrealistic chances? Yet the most important choice we will ever make, the one that affects all our other choices, is the choice to turn to the divine infinite Principle that organizes and operates the universe, allowing this Principle to govern our lives. Clearly, this isn’t always easy, for like any operative principle we might turn to, it cannot be identified by our physical senses, but must be identified through deeper, more abstract, means, those means providing ultimate proof of its existence. Luckily we are used to using these more abstract means, in fact, practiced at turning to the unseen underlying principles that govern many facets of our life, such as the principles that underlie mathematics, music, physics and chemistry. We are used to turning to their unseen laws, orders, rules and operating systems, depending upon them for information as well as direction. It is merely a matter of which principle we turn to, which law, order, rule or system we depend upon. Living in space-time, we automatically turn to the principles governing space-time existence, continually upgrading our understanding of these principles through scientific investigation and experimentation. In addition, we are somewhat practiced at turning to the divine infinite Principle we know as God, theoretically accepting God as our ultimate spiritual authority, yet perhaps not as practiced at understanding the scientific nature of the God we turn to, not as aware of its being the supreme Principle that organizes and operates every facet of the universe, including Earth and its people, that, in fact, it is organizing and operating every part of our life. If we were more aware of its scientific nature, more aware of the workings of its omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and infinite Principle, we would have no difficulty relying upon this Principle’s superior laws, orders, rules and systems, giving them free reign over all the aspects of our life. We would have no difficulty following the urgings of the spiritual adepts of all faiths who have, in one way or the other, exhorted us to “seek first the kingdom of heaven.” We would know, without doubt, that turning to this infinite Principle first made the most sense and that doing so would bring us the best result. We would recognize this divine Principle as the most reliable authority, turning to it when we need guidance, direction or healing of any kind, opening to its infinite wisdom and unrivaled power to restore harmony to every aspect of our lives. We would do this if we understood. So let us try to understand. Let us educate ourselves about the differences between the material principles operating the universe of space-time and the spiritual Principle that operates the infinitude of being, including the appearance of space-time. Let us understand that the greater, more inclusive and powerful principles supersede the influence of the lessor ones, the most powerful Principle of all being the divine infinite scientific Principle we commonly refer to as God. Let us realize that as we consciously entertain the superior laws initiated by this mighty Principle, we can depend on them to operate above and beyond the purview of the less powerful material laws operating in the realm of space-time. Needless to say, these superior spiritual laws are always operating. But it is hard for us to receive their benefit if our attention and sensory responses are tuned to a lower level. Logic would thereby induce us to alter the level of our conscious awareness, expanding it until we are able to respond to the influence of these superior laws, allowing them to operate fully in our lives, bringing harmony to every part of our existence. Much is involved in raising the level of our conscious awareness. Though it can rise spontaneously. We can instantaneously be catapulted into a boundless, heavenly, highly enlightened, state. But this is rare, and even if we are granted this sudden enlightenment, it can take time to fully understand and integrate the experience into our lives. Most of us become enlightened gradually, opening our minds, hearts and sensory awareness to deeper levels of understanding little by little, gaining enlightenment through prayer, meditation, centering techniques, spiritual research and lots of practice. We transit from being totally absorbed and dependent upon the objective physical universe we can see, hear, smell, touch and taste to a more metaphysical understanding of life, improving this metaphysical understanding by recognizing and adhering to its moral and semi-spiritual laws and codes. Eventually the spiritual nature of the universe begins to take precedence. We find ourselves seeking to know its higher laws, orders, rules and systems. While this is a necessary step in our journey, at some point we find ourselves making another shift in consciousness, a major one that takes us from seeing God, the infinite Principle, as a Being outside of us, to consciously looking out from the Mind of God, seeing all as one undivided whole. It is this step, this major shift, that ends the separation between us and Being, though at first, only the perceptual separation. All the breeches fragmenting our consciousness must be shorn up before we can realize our absolute union with God, the divine ever-lasting Principle of being. Happily Life provides us continual opportunities to make this shift, drawing us to divine center where our union with God’s all-powerful Principle is found and experienced. Again and again it encourages us to submit to the government of this Principle, to let it operate fully in our lives. Again and again it demands we put aside our reliance on lesser principles, authorities, theories, persons or preferences, insisting we recognize and accept it as our supreme authority, that which holds the power to awaken us to the oneness of being and to our place within its fully integrated cohesive harmoniously operating universe, a universe in which nothing is left out, cut off or failing to function in accord with its inbuilt standard of perfection. Nothing. Not even us. From the standpoint of the One, nothing is separated from the whole. Everything exists as one integrated concordant whole, one being. Every shift we make toward center is a shift bringing us closer to the divinely harmonious state we think of as heaven. Whether it is a tiny incremental shift or a huge paradigm or dimensional shift, it is in some way affording us the opportunity to experience “a piece of heaven” now, each stage or state enhancing our integrity, honesty and loyalty, our ability to coordinate, cooperate and relate to each other in a way that blesses us and all. Each sustained move toward center enables us to be more organized, scientific and systematic, more able to interpret life accurately and live life effortlessly. So why wait when there is every practical reason to prioritize the practices that will enable us to make these priceless shifts? Why delay when the harmonies of heaven await our return? Why not allow the divine infinite Principle of Being to conduct us as a living part of its celestial chorus, singing our part in harmony with all the voices that comprise the universal oneness of being? Let us take these steps together.
