"Man's Mind Once Stretched By A New Idea, Never Regains Its Original Dimensions."
Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)
The world is filled with inspiration. Inspiration comes from the Greek root inspira or in spirit. This word is far different from motivation. Motivation is self-created action to achieve a certain accomplishment. Inspiration on the other hand is a direct reflection when you are lined with His calling. Jesus said "My work is easy, my burden is light." When you are inspired or in spirit to do something you are aligned with your source from which you came and there will be very minimal if any stress associated with this calling. When stress appears, you have somehow wandered from the truth and faith to do you what you think is the best for your life. You have chosen motivation and as we all know, this wears off within a maximum of 30 days says Zig Zigler. God Realization acknowledged will pull you back to source of which you came and you will be able realign yourself with His will and things will then fall back into place. You will find an abundant source of people, funding, books, or what your are supposed to be presented with in order to further assist you in your yoking. Every time, no question forever undeniable.
I have recently revisited Dr. Wayne Dyer, an amazing mentor of mines audio program to were he makes some amazingly insightful revelations. Imagine yourself in a field. All around you are over 3 million pieces of parts ranging from rubber, metal, wire, clothe of all sorts, nails and glass. Over 3,000,000 pieces! then suddenly out of nowhere hurricane force winds upwards to 400mph comes and picks these pieces of debris up into the whirlwind and out of the blue a gigantic Boeing 747 lands completely functional. What are the chances? What are the odds? One in a billion? One in a trillion? What kind of amazing knowledge do we have in our minds to be able to use the science and math of chemistry, algebra, physics, geometry and amongst many other things that go into the beautiful creation of the 747? Do we question its source? Not at all. We are clearly intelligent enough to create this object. Do you know what it takes to build such a machine? Probably not, maybe you do...I don't. Do I doubt we can? No, I see the evidence all around me. Every time I take notice of a 747 flying I am blown away by the amount of intelligence that went into its conception and wonder how this thing can even fly. Now take the human eyeball and compare it to a 747. Makes the 747 look like a tinker toy compared to the trillions of cells that go into just one eyeball. Can we create a functioning eyeball? No. Imagine the endless knowledge that went into it. Every single minute 6,000,000 eyeballs are created in the world. Every MINUTE in the world 3,000,000 people die and 3,000,000 people are born. 3,000,000 times 2 eyeballs per person. That's 6,000,000 eyeballs every single minute created. That is not even including all the raccoon eyeballs, lion eyeballs, the fly eyeballs. Have you looked at a flies eyeball? Now, this doesn't include the livers, stomach, intestines, or the brain. We can't even fathom how to engineer such things. And this is just on Planet Earth. Our universe is endless or so we can't prove its end. How can we question in good consciousness that there is not something out there with infinite knowledge and this is all an accident compared to the tinker toy of a 747? I see miracles everywhere. Everywhere I turn there is another miracle. The problem is we have what is called an E.G.O, we Etch God Out of our lives and break the connection to source. From the first 9 months of our life when we are in utero we give God complete control to do what he needs to do to create us, then whammo. We are birthed and decide to take over and say ok buddy, I got this. Then we spend our lives searching for this connection not realizing the entire time it is already in us. Do you think if you took half of an apple pie and half of a blueberry pie and placed a slice of apple pie on the table you wouldn't be able to tell what the orginal source of the pie it came from? No, you would know where that piece came from. From the apple pie. We are out here searching without God and that is why we are a lonely society, a lost society, an uneasy, discontent society. Just my thoughts I suppose. I am not a trained clinical psyche major, nope, just a self-read philosopher who has tries to use his brain. Take it as you want, in the meantime enjoy these thought provoking quotes by great leaders of the world.
