A Soul’s Whisper

“The mind is a center of Divine operation. The Divine operation is always for expansion and fuller expression, and this means the production of something beyond what has gone before, something entirely new, not included in the past experience, though proceeding out of it by an orderly sequence of growth. Therefore, since the Divine cannot change its inherent nature, it must operate in the same manner with me; consequently, in my own special world, of which I am the center, it will move forward to produce new conditions, always in advance of any that have gone before.” A man named Thomas Troward uttered these words many years ago, and this quote awoke me to a new life. We all struggle with certain aspects of ourselves that affects our lives in ways we do not notice. Much of us are contempt with living life in this manner and merely tally up the bad situations that we face to “That’s just how life is,” as the saying goes. But life doesn’t have to be this way. We have within ourselves this potential to achieve much more than we can possibly fathom. Jesus Christ, Buddha, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein—these are just a few of the individuals who have undergone great transformations and experienced a level of growth that went on to not only impact their own lives but also the lives of many others. A lot having to do with how they interpreted their relationship to something beyond themselves and understood the essence of how powerful the mind is. It is individuals such as these who have altered how it is that we today interpret life itself. But that doesn’t mean that they had something that you do not. Much in the same way that they were human beings, so are you. What we have in common with one another, including those mentioned, is far more numerous than what we don’t have in common. We have the ability of self-realization. Our only difference from those greats previously mentioned was that they recognized within themselves their true potential, which allowed them to achieve the great accomplishments they did. You also have within you that same capability, and all you need to do is become aware of it. In being committed to manifesting your true potential and allowing your illuminated beauty to shine forth, you too can contribute to humanity the same way that they did. We humans all have this wonderful thing that we call the mind. Acknowledging the mind and understanding its ability is a beautiful thing. The mind is Divine in its nature, in that it has the ability to bring about changes that can create lasting effects upon anyone who takes the time to become acquainted with it. As Thomas Troward said, it is a center of Divine operation. It is partly due to the mind that we are able to function the way that we do and be conscious about it while we do what we do. Out of all the living beings that we presently share space with on this planet, it is we human beings who have such an ability. Because of this, we are able to realize certain things and make choices willingly and consciously that lead us to become something better. The mind is even so great that it allows us to reinterpret our relationship with it and that gives rise to the mind becoming molded by us. A single adjustment on your part can enhance your abilities and understanding in a way that you will move toward, as Troward said, expansion and fuller expression. Moving toward expansion and fuller expression is that inherent need that is built into us. We all inherently have this desire to become better than we currently are. Remaining stagnant goes against our very nature. We desire to go beyond what has gone before and experience something entirely new not included in our past experiences. Learning is what provides the wisdom needed to do such, and experience is what grants us the opportunity to obtain that wisdom. But this is something that has to come from within. Unless you make the choice to awaken to your true nature and connect with your Higher Self, you won’t notice the joy that unity with the soul brings you. Yet nothing of this nature is made feasible without an orderly sequence of growth out of which it can proceed from.
