Читать книгу Your Psychic Soul - Judith Pennington - Страница 29

Although we use terms like “higher consciousness” to describe levels of awareness that exist beyond ordinary states of mind, in actuality we are this eternal higher consciousness living in a temporary physical body, as described so beautifully by the Cayce readings on page 9 of the Meditation chapter that opens the first book of A Search for God:

It is through meditation that we may become aware of the existence of the spiritual forces within, that we unlock the door between our physical and spiritual bodies. Through this door come impulses from the soul, seeking expression in the physical.

Our souls are endowed with many faculties that are limited and bound by our impressions in the physical. The soul is always present, always willing to express its true purpose, its true relationship with the Creator. Through meditation we make this possible; we open the way.

Some say that we are not conscious of possessing a soul. We should know that each of us is a soul. This body in which we live is only our house for the moment, and then out of it we go on to other states of consciousness and other experiences.

Understanding the nature of the soul is central to intuitive development. Your psychic senses are not “out there” or “in another realm”; they exist in your spirit, which interpenetrates your physical body and is in and with you always.

We can say something more: your spirit, simultaneously existing in non-physical and physical realms, has immediate access to any and all information and energy. When you turn your attention to your solar plexus to feel, to the temporal lobes above your ears to hear, to your third eye to see, and to the crown of your head to know, you are tuning in to the spiritual matrix of your brain and body.

The ability to concentrate the mind is essential to the psychic, due to the fact that intuitive impressions usually stream into the senses very fast. Blink and you miss them. The remedy is to keep your mind as calm as a glassy lake—a lesson taught by nature.

Everything on earth contains the potential to lift the ordinary senses into the psychic awareness of the higher mind—from nature, animals, and people to inspiring art, music, and literature. Nature, creativity, and anything else that stirs the senses and opens the heart lifts the mind into the soul’s sixth sense: “ . . . a faculty of the soul-body itself . . . ,” said Cayce. (5754-2)
