How does one attain the true strength of conviction to accomplish things of this magnitude?
Now we know that in the Bible it says, “Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, ‘Why could we not drive it out?’ And He said to them, ‘Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.…””
Many people have their own understanding of these words, I do not question or am I trying to change anyone else’s belief; I would like to share my personal interpretation of this concept.
It is not merely our belief in external things or people, but it is the development of our inner belief and understanding, that accomplishes the Great Work of true manifestation. It is not our belief that someone else will or can do it, but that we can do it, this is what allows an individual to consistently accomplish that which one desires.
Merely speaking A Word, is not a magical formula that will accomplish results of great magnitude. Results manifest from a thought or concept that is reinforced with power and authority that the action will happen because it must happen! How does a person develop and resonate at this state of awareness that they have the power and authority for their thought to manifest? Through the integrity of action within an individual, action being another word for walking.
Now Jesus was an example in his religion of the embodiment of Love. Other revelators have been the embodiment of Love within their religion. What allowed these individuals to accomplish and demonstrate their ability was the integrity of the life they lived. They walked their talk, lived their talk, and acted totally within the Wisdom that we are Soul with all power, light, and love. I refer to Integrity as being the consistency of one’s actions with their belief. The walking beyond the talking of one’s belief.
Some people use a person’s name as being their belief, philosophy, or religious system. The more profound manner is to walk in the same footsteps as that individual you admire or attest to. In the example above regarding the Disciples, I choose to understand, they were speaking words but their words did not have the power or authority behind them because they did not have the deeper understanding of what they were saying and doing. They were just talking without understanding the walking.
Success in moving challenging mountains before us is not merely about the words one uses or quotes at the moment, it is about the actions or steps one has taken under ALL circumstances and experiences that bring us to the understanding that we have power and authority over all experiences. Having the opportunity for expressing our true nature might be why we are in this schoolroom called Earth. It is not what you talk or profess, it is how you walk and act, that bespeaks your true understanding of the deepest spiritual philosophy.
I have heard individuals within the spiritual community remark that they believe that the further you proceed along the spiritual path, the harder it is. This is that person’s belief and it is not a truism. When you walk, live, and talk with integrity in the philosophy and spiritual path you espouse, the easier it is because it is not work, it is NATURAL. It is who you are.
The beautiful and profound Spiritual individuals who have walked on Earth throughout history are meant to be templates, examples, guides, teachers, friends, and part of our own spiritual family. Merely talking and professing love and support for these individuals of the past is not the same as acting and demonstrating in the same manner they did.
I am grateful for the loving brothers and sisters that have come before us to be examples of beauty, love, truth, honesty, integrity, compassion and so many other aspects. The best way to honor someone is to live and act, within your life, displaying the same attributes as your teacher or “hero.”
The manner in which you accomplish the mighty works and even those aspects of negating illness and disease is through the integrity of your lifestyle. When you become one with that which you desire, through your actions and not just your words, then your faith in the power of your spirit, in concert with the Divine Spirit of the Creator, will manifest what you desire.
Through repetition, many things become easier. By living the life, you become that life. When doing what is the highest and best in each situation is as natural as each breath, you have become the Christ or Buddha Self, not because you have spoken some words, but because you have become Love personified within your individual self.
We are capable of more because we are more than we imagine at this time. It starts with the smallest of experiences, which are not obstacles, but creative opportunities to learn and grow in our awareness and integrity. To each their own and may your personal belief, religion, or philosophy bring you comfort, beauty, and love.
To inspire and empower. With love, in love, and through love.
