Day by Day , Seek the Devine

Dr . Wayne Dyer has said often in his books and lectures , " always aspire to the devine " . I don't necessarily follow Dr . Dyer 's works but what he says here is worth noting . Our society is so fast paced it has become cliche to even mention it . We have so effectively shut off anything having to do with the Devine we have become numb to it . It is as if we have some sort of shut off valve for the Devine , yet , everything around us , in us , and about us is Devine . To stop aspiring to the Devine is truly a modern tragedy . This is why walking and breathing is so important for us if we are going to reconnect or turn on that Devine valve we have shut off . Even what we put in our bodies is part of the Devine , then why do we put such junk in ourselves . Heart disease , high blood pressure , and diabetes is on the rise because we refuse to seek the Devine in the foods we eat . As you walk and breathe , look at nature , take it in , breathe again , you are part of this nature . Our place in nature is , well , natural . But again , we take ourselves out of the Devine by not walking , sweating , breathing or eating right . The other morning I rose earlier than usual . I wanted to see the etheral mists hovering over the lakes I walk past . As I rounded a corner , I was struck by the sight of early morning light casting beams through the trees . I stopped , then continued until I came to the first beam of filtered light . I paused for a few moments and let the beam engulf me . I could feel the radiance as the light surrounded me . I was truly one with God . You think God was trying to tell me something ? I certainly felt his hand on my shoulder . I walked on and got halfway past the big lake on my walk . I paused again and gazed out onto one of the most surreal sights of my life . The mist appeared as if it were coming out of the woods , coming across my path , and slowly moving its way to the other side of the lake . I walked on and as I entered the mist my walking motion pushed the mist away like a curtain . How appropriate . We pull the curtain on God and the Devine everyday . We must conciously seek to keep whatever keeps us from God away from our human desire to be with Him because we are of Him . I walked on through the mist and finally on the north side of the lake , I looked back and saw the mist had engulfed most of the lake . One of my most memorable walks . But if I had not started walking two years ago I would not have heard God speaking to me that day . You must begin yourself . Seek the Devine , walk , breathe , and eat what your body wants and needs not what the latest commercial says you should .
