The Winning Edge

Physical Laws and Spiritual Laws January 19, 2009

There’s a force all around us, it doesn’t matter if you believe in it or not, it’s there, and the reason I say that is because whether you believe in a divine creation guided by intelligence, or if you hold fast to the theory that all things just sort of happened there is one thing that is for certain, life as we know it had to start somewhere, and there was some matter somewhere that existed prior to the creation of life, and if that matter existed at that time, it would stand to reason that the matter would exist now. So there is a formless substance all around us, because everything physical that we see, came from some physical root. Wallace Wattles calls this the “thinking stuff” I like to call it Creative Matter. And it is the stuff from which all you desire comes from, it is the power of God throughout the world, it is by and through this that all things have been, are, and will be made. I’m going to speak for a minute to the believers of a divine intelligence.

Many religions believe that God is a God of laws, some people have interpreted those laws differently than others, but essentially most people who believe in the divine, believe that he has laws, now I am not talking about the laws that have been handed to us through a particular religion, even though my own religion believe in laws pertaining to righteousness, I am speaking of the spiritual laws that govern the universe, the laws that make sure you fingers stay attached to your hand, the laws that make sure your heart keeps beating, the laws that stop the heart beat of that very same heart when it is time to stop. Some of these laws have been discovered, and science has taken them as their own, when people talk of Physics, I just see God’s perfect laws functioning exactly as they should.

The laws that many obey in their chosen faith are what I like to call the lesser laws, these are laws that revolve around a specific physical action, and the Ten Commandments for example are some very physical laws. These are things that you do with your body or the body of others, the higher laws I am speaking about is the laws that you adhere to with your soul. They are what I call spiritual laws, and they are simple to define and difficult to master, but once you master the spiritual laws, the physical, or lesser laws cease to be relevant, because your spirit has gained mastery over your body, all the physical “temptations” that may have surrounded you are gone, not because they have ceased to exist, but because you are living in and coming from a higher place. Christ was tempted in “all things” yet he had spiritual mastery, and nothing could divert him from his higher purpose, in the bible we read the account of 3 temptations in which the devil is said to have appeared and tempted Christ in 3 things, and in all 3 christ won.
If we master the spiritual laws, we become captains of our souls, but to reach this level of higher awareness sometimes we have to start with the physical to clear out all the static and get tuned into our higher purpose.

There are other things we can do that move us into a higher spiritual plane, or a higher vibration if you will, and again none of these are rooted in any one religious belief, although at first glance they may look that way, the reason that it may seem “religious” to some is because many people confuse religion with spirituality, now you can be faithful to a particular religious belief (as I am) and still be spiritual, in the terms that I am using, spiritual means recognizing that you are not your body, you are the spirit that inhabits the body. For example if you look at what your physical body is made of, if you take it apart and put it all in piles, there is really nothing to differentiate you from say, a cow, or a chimpanzee. So what is it that makes you able to function in a place of higher intelligence, what is it that gives you the ability to speak, and to reason, and to act. We know it cannot be the brain that is different because we have found that the brain of many creatures in the animal kingdom is similar enough to ours, no, it isn’t the brain that puts our consciousness above that of the ape. It is our spirit, and when you can look at yourself and see that you are not your body, and you are not what you do, that you are not a “human being having a spiritual experience” but that you are indeed a “spiritual being having a human experience” just that slight change of words can make all the difference in your life.
