Mid-week Inspiration,

It is a time of abundance in the Okanagan; everywhere we look we see fruit being harvested, hauled and sold. There is such bounty that in our towns it is falling off the trees and lying to rot in the yards and on the streets. 

I am always inspired by the bounty that lies before me. This bounty always springs from a single idea; someone decided to plant a tree, start a business, a farm, an orchard or just a garden.  The Creative Principle of life took this idea imbued with intention and action and brought forth a bounty.

Intelligence unhindered does this; it expresses an idea, imbues it with creative intention and in action brings that idea into form.

I have heard from a few in my life that intelligence is an individual thing unique to humans and possibly a few sentient creatures. Therefore they would say that life except in the individual is void of ideas. To me this is the height of egotism.  How is it that such a little being as a human could somehow be separate from the greater whole? And how could this little being have something all its own separate from the life it was created out of?

I am firmly convinced that there is a life greater than we are; something back of all life which is intelligent and loving.  I believe this intelligence is available and can be called upon at will by any individual.  I believe it responds intelligently.  To me this is an obvious conclusion that any intelligent study would arrive at.

When we look at the human body we find a chemical composition which is in balance with the Earth, containing the same elements that exist through-out our world.  This same arrangement of elements appears to exist in relative constancy throughout the galaxy.  We are, in our composition, bound by laws explicit in our atomic chart; there are not some atoms in us that don’t exist anywhere else. 

It would logically follow that if we are bound by physical laws we must also be bound by mental and spiritual laws; laws that act everywhere in equilibrium.  Just because the effects of these laws are obscure doesn’t mean they don’t exist nor does it mean that the laws themselves don’t exist.

In fact I would argue that the majority of our modern challenges come from living out of alignment with these natural laws of mind that very much do exist but are not commonly accepted or recognized.  Simply, even in our ignorance the fruits of our harvest remain bound by these laws. 

Upon close examination it apears that every idea we think is a seed planted and our tendency of thought today becomes our harvest of tomorrow. Yesterday’s tendencies are today’s crop.  A positive tendency will bring forth a productive harvest and a negative tendency will bring forth a counter productive harvest. 

In my life over the past twenty years I have consciously applied myself to these principles, to healthy thinking.  My life has transformed into a prosperous experience.  For me, my life is proof of that which I speak, I have applied a law and am experiencing a rich harvest.
