Our Own Brand of Wisdom

Many of us doubt our own wisdom, especially if it is different than our tribe, so we may bury our wisdom and genius. Life is not a 'one size fits all' but we act as if it was. 

We need to start thinking for ourselves and tap into our own wisdom. I have spent so much money through the years looking for answers. I've taken astrology classes, Reiki classes, sound healing classes, soul exploration classes, hand analysis classes, EST, On Course, and more. I was looking to others and not trusting the wisdom and answers within. After all, who was I? I wasn't an author, I didn't have a PhD, I haven't been around the world speaking to a global audience of thousands, I wasn't featured on 'The Secret' so what did I know. These experts clearly know more than me (or so I thought).

We need to stop hiding behind what we've been told is virtuous and correct, especially if we act or think differently in private. We need to think for ourselves, trust the Divine Wisdom within, and have the courage and strength to act on that wisdom. We need to be willing to walk in the world with our gifts and wisdom and not back down.

It's time to bring your own brand of wisdom to the table, even if that wisdom may appear to you as if it were a flaw. It isn't. Really, it isn't. 

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

"How to make practical use of this Divine wisdom? It is not enough for us to say that God is all there is. That statement was true before we said it. But if we wish to demonstrate the availability of this higher Power in human experience, when we say "God is all the Life there is" we must add:  "That Life is my life now." "God is Good; that Goodness is mine." "God is Substance; that Substance is now my supply." That Divine thing within us, that creative Energy and infinite Intelligence which functions through us, which is God the living Spirit Almighty, must be directed in our lives. We must link our thought with the thought of the Infinite"

A Fool for God

I have a question for each of us (well, a few questions really): Are we willing get excited and to be a fool for God? Are we willing to get excited and court that Divine Presence? Are we willing to get excited and unleash the magnificence and awesomeness within? Are we willing to look like an idiot and go out on a limb with the belief that "no matter what is going on in our lives, God is here?" 

We wonder about our purpose and why we're here. We make it complicated, we search, and we put our life and our gifts on hold until we uncover or discover our purpose. What if our purpose was to get excited about life, love, our talents and gifts, and the indwelling Presence of God within? What if our purpose was to become artists in living? And what if courting the Divine Presence will actually lead us to our purpose?

So often we are fools - but not fools for God. We're fools in thinking we are separate and apart from Spirit. We're fools because we look for evidence in the physical world when it has been our own consciousness that created what we see. Let's become artists in living where we live by inspiration and sense the divine touch in everything. Then we will find everything sacred and we might just get a sense of just how awesome we really are.

Maybe being a fool for God would help stop the monkey mind chatter that says, "play it safe, wait for a better time, act your age, don't take risk, and only do what's comfortable and familiar. No artistry in that. 

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

"Our whole purpose is to make the intellect an instrument for the Spirit. We must become artists in living. To live by inspiration means to sense the divine touch in everything; to enter into the spirit of things; to enter into the joy of living."

True Identity

Sometimes we get stuck in our concepts of who we are and the roles we play. We have so many ways we identify ourselves: mother, father, son, daughter, husband, wife, dancer, entertainer, minister, business owner, retired, employee, Virgo, Pisces, introvert, extrovert - and the list goes on and on and on. And for every identity, we have a corresponding image or concept of what that means and what that looks like. 

When we identify with these roles, it takes us away from the realization of a more important concept that no matter what is happening in our lives, God is present.  In addition, when we identify with the various roles we play, they have to power to make us happy, sad, proud, frustrated, envious, or content. Our mental attitudes need to come from the awareness that God is always present within and not from external events.

It's time to see beyond the familiar and the roles we play, to think beyond what we have been told, and to dream beyond our expectations. It's time to tell the Truth about ourselves - that we are awesome, magnificent, inspiring, talented, vibrant, enthusiastic, and dynamic creators. 

Now, put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

"If we learn to think of the Divine Life as flowing through our every action, we will soon discover that the things we give our attention to are quickened with a new energy, for we are breathing the very essence of Life into them. So when we think of ourselves as unhappy, depressed, or ill, we can learn to reverse the whole process. We can think ourselves into well-being, prosperity, and success."
