Focus

“Is this path difficult?†I questioned haltingly.“It can be difficult if your attention is in the wrong place,†answered the holy man. “If you constantly focus your attention downwards into the manifold attributes of the world, you will become identified with matter. But if you focus your love aspect constantly upwards into the Being of God, you will eventually become merged with the all-embracing love of the Supreme Lord. Love is an inherent quality of the human heart; and it is through love that the most potent truths of all creation are apprehended.â€
(The Pilgrimage of James, An Odyssey of Inner Space, by George Arnsby Jones, Peacehaven Press)
Talking about keeping your focus on the spiritual and not focusing on the container that we exist in has been a constant theme on this blog lately. Talk about synchronicity… Everywhere I go this topic jumps right out in front of me.
Has this been the case all along, or is it that I am just recognizing it now that my thoughts are focused on it. I wonder how many different religions out there that have this theme. Is the Christian Bible talking about this same thing and we are just using our five sense thinking and interpreting the things in the Bible literally.
How can you interpret the bible literally when it is written in parables and riddles? Why can 5 people read the bible and can get so many different explanations? Should we interpret it literally, or spiritually (metaphysically)?
You know when you are on the right track, because you feel it within. Your intuition tells you what is right and what is wrong. And my Intuition tells me that this explanation of our true nature is spot on. Keep you attention focused on the raising of your vibrational frequency and not so much on the things that we perceive as physical.
Keep looking to the stars. Quit looking outside of yourself for God. He is not in a building with a steeple, She is not in a book, But It is inside of each and every one of us. He is Us, We Are Him.
