INSIDE YOU DWELLS AN ETERNAL SPARK
What if I told you that you are a magnificent being, an eternal spark of stardust and radiant fire?
What if I told you further that you are FAR MORE than just a body navigating physical space — that inside you dwells a wise and eternal being that interconnects with every other being in the universe?
I hope that at least a part of you believes this. But even if you don’t, I will show you.
Remember when you were little and your entire life seemed to stretch before you, an eternity in your childlike eyes?
Remember, too, how the simplest things — a ladybug crawling up a blade of grass on a hot summer day, or an autumn leaf slowly floating earthward from a tree — felt like LIFE?
Life like that still takes place all around you, millions of times each day around the world. It’s just that your attention has turned to other things and you don’t notice them any more.
It’s the same way with your eternal nature. Having forgotten how magnificent you are makes you no less magnificent. Having forgotten that you are an eternal wise being makes you no less eternal or wise.
Your child-self knew instinctively what things were important — the softness of a kitten’s fur, or the way clouds slowly turn into faces or spaceships, or the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.
Your eternal nature has never forgotten you nor has it forgotten the things that are important to you.
The things that are important to your eternal nature are the same things that were important you your child-self — the things that make you feel most alive.
You can — right now — re-discover the things that make you feel most alive by imagining you as your child-self. Your child-self was intimately connected to your eternal nature, because when we are children, our eternal nature is closest to the surface. By imagining yourself right now as your child-self, you can reconnect with your eternal nature and re-discover the things that make you feel most alive.
Take a few moments now to imagine your child-self. Close your eyes and breathe deep into your belly. Allow your belly to relax and grow soft with each breath. Now imagine that you are you as your child-self, 5 or 6 years old. You know instinctively what things are important. You love expressing your eternal nature when you follow your heart to explore the things that are most important.
Imagine you are — right now — doing one of the things that were important to you as your child-self. You are swinging high on the swings, or tumbling over and over while rolling down a grassy hillside, or savoring the sweet chocolatey drips of a summertime ice cream cone.
Feel how excited and alive you feel while you imagine doing this important child-self thing. Feel how immersed in BE-ing you are, how to you there is nothing else right now except doing this very important child-self thing.
Feel, too how connected you feel with the heartbeat of life, the constant thrum of activity that lights up everyone and everything. At this moment you feel a part of the world, a part of the universe. When you immerse your awareness in the playful, vibrant aliveness of your child-self, the self that knows no bounds and exists out of time, you connect consciously with the deepest, truest part of yourself.
You have re-connected with your eternal spark — your soul.
