HAVE
you ever noticed that birds’ eggs are not round? The yolk inside is
most beautifully spherical, and yet the outer shell of containment is
elliptical.
It
is not uncommon for the egg to be alluded to in spiritual context: in
relation to one’s egoic body and auric halo, and in Brahmanda - [the great cosmic egg].
The
shape of the birds egg is not determined by its delivery alone. Other
species have round eggs - such as butterflies and fish. The formation
of the outer encasement of the bird’s egg occurs inutero and
before, by spiritual design, rather than it being moulded by the
delivery itself.
The
sphere within the egg (the yolk) will oscillate from side to side
within its cradle. It may only be the slightest of movement, but
nonetheless there is a freedom for this ability to deviate from its
central place.
The
yolk is both protected and confined within its shell, yet it may move
from side to side, being neither fixed nor static, nor stationary. If
you hold an egg and jiggle it lightly you can feel the yolk moving
inside.
Now
one consideration here to add further to this is that the yolk is
only but a part of the embryonic stage of the life within - and is
not the completed body by any means. This is the period before
manifestation for which is described. And were the egg to become
fertilized its yolk would very quickly lose its spherical form to
become a tangle of head and limbs within, seeking eventual release
into oxygen.
And
so, to return to the yolk moving this way and that, we find that
there is a positive energetic consequence from this very slight
movement. Movement itself can stimulate the ethers and invoke an
energetic life to help sustain and support that which is in motion.
Another
perspective on this is a fundamental principle of universal
solicitation and bounty - the original ‘asking and receiving’ in
that life, all
life,
requires what it takes to sustain itself, else it die. Therefore all
that is alive, on any plane, in any realm, has what it requires in
order that it might and does exist. The proof of this is in its own
being-ness - it is evident by that which it is.
And
pertaining to this principle, all entities can attract replenishment
according to their needs, and this is done primarily through their
movement. “I
move therefore I am”.
The
more a plant moves (i.e. with the pulse of the wind and light) and
its ability to move, the more prolifically it grows.
Children
are active, and without such activity will become sickly. When the
elderly cease to move, their energetic supplements wane concordantly.
We pretty much measure life and death in terms of movement. And
although these are very loose analogies to the principle and an
oversimplification of the processes, one can also point to the higher
principle which holds a very potent and significant meaning.
In
relation to thought, for example, and activity within the being who
is thinking - and within the will, and for the man or woman who is
exercising their determining - the consequences are remarkably
effectual as to who brings more vitality into these fields and
therefore shapes their future to come thereby.
Sometimes
it is not what
we do, but the very fact that we are doing at all, that gives us a
license at the very least for continuum.
Some
decisions will never have a good or great outcome because they are
limited to that which is real or possible. But the goodness gleaned
from the forging of any decision is guaranteed in the possibilities
then made available - if not now, then in the future, by these
beginnings. This is a very important spiritual law in relation to
every practical phase of existence, both here and within the heavens.
Right
before any decision is formally made there is the decision to make
the decision that precedes it. The will is exercised - often coaxed
or motivated by circumstance, and rises up within the individual with
a very clear signal to the ethers, resounding out about that life
that is being expended on a task - i.e in the willing. And life is
returned, it is replenished with a remedial enterprise.
A
man who has been paralyzed has the possibility of life returning and
renewing to that affected part, by the mental exercises of imagining
the movements so desired. For it is that the very willing and
thinking will invoke the energetic forces into those lifeless areas.
You may not be able to regrow a leg at this particular time, but in
the past and in the future this did/will happen within the physical world
via the imagination and with the exercise of the energetic will.
Similarly,
there needs must be ‘movement’ within our fields of virtue. One
is not really to be considered virtuous simply by abnegation or
inactivity, but moreover by what is done actively.
For
example, a man might consider himself as being charitable because his
inclinations lean that way; however the gifts to others from himself,
in thought, deed or word, need to be delivered actively on a constant
basis for this virtue to be kept lively within his own being in the
present. Were he charitable but a month ago and not since then, the
activity has gone very quiet - and what is attracted back to that
soul will be very little also.
Prayers
need constancy and regularity … and interestingly the energetic
response to a prayer not only reactivates the ability of faith within
the petitioner but also revivifies that person or collective to whom
the prayer is addressed.
For
the heart and mind actively designate where the incoming energetic
activity should go to and it is by this feature that through prayer
an almost lifeless circumstance can turn around and be renewed.
How
very valuable to know that the stimulus does not have to come
directly from the life itself - because, not one thing is separate
unto itself and motivated solely by its own inclinations - and were
it to be so very self-interred would surely be lost to desolation and
decrepitude having been left to such a singular motivation.
In
pregnancy the woman moves the baby - even with the breathing and the
pulse and this in turn inspires the lively forces to enter into the
growing child.
Similarly
we can all be mothers to who we care for in prayer, attracting to
those individuals the very vitality they might need to remedy, or
grow, to live, to think, to find peace, and for all of those that
have lost their own momentum.
From
waving cats to wind chimes on the breeze, flags and banners and
waterfalls … even the movements of a grandfather clock would
stimulate the ethers perpetuating the lively forces.
For
the artist or the writer: pick up your pen or your brush and move
it
- and after time something will come! And, if it be only scribble, be
content and persist.
Warmth
brings warmth, light attracts light. Every parent substance feeds its
infant when they awake.
The
beginnings may seem very distant from the end, but are always,
always,
the starting points of divine referral.
