Spirit To Form And Back Again

Aloha,

I'm Reverend Cindy Paulus and it's good to be here with you.

I want to talk today about this oneness we have in spirit and kind of follow what happens,

How that spirit reaches us,

Touches us,

Gets to us,

Sometimes speaks through us.

And then what happens?

And then what happens afterwards?

What happens once we take that spirit and share it and have to interchange and communicate with it?

And this world is rather interesting because we pretty much realize we are spirit here in form.

I mean,

Even Sting in his song with the police did.

We are spirits in the material world.

No one kind of us,

That's strange,

You know.

Of course,

Wayne Dyer did the same thing.

He talked about we are not the body.

We are just here in spirit form for a while using this body and then go on to spirit.

I mean,

This is not a new concept at all,

But it is interesting how spirit does reach us and how spirit does talk to us and how spirit works through us.

I find it rather fascinating actually how that all works.

I always have.

I'm a lover of that spirit.

I have a deep,

Deep,

Deep love for what happens in spirit and spirit in form.

So what we're thinking of like okay,

In meditation here,

Let's just accept that we're spirit in form.

And if you're not,

Well just listen and maybe,

You know,

That'll come to you.

But say you're sitting in meditation.

As I do every morning,

I get up early and I meditate.

I let spirit speak through me.

It's interesting how it doesn't always have a loud voice.

Many times I'll just be meditating for an hour,

An hour and eight minutes.

It's my set that I set in my time or two.

But then it's not until I go to write it down that it seems to find a way to speak and communicate through me.

That's an interesting thing,

Right?

What that says to me is we may not even be aware that spirit is even talking to us or there with us until we ask to use it as a tool.

Until we become an instrument for it.

Now this particular morning today,

There was a very,

Very strong wind.

I just moved from my,

I don't know,

It's my 13th or 14th move here on Maui.

And I have a cottage in Makawa now.

It's not big in size,

Thousand square foot.

But outside,

My gosh,

It's really large outside.

There's some big,

Big trees.

There's a mango tree in front of where I meditate.

There's a big Norfolk pine on the right side.

Actually there's two together that almost look like they are one.

They're joined so closely.

And this wind has been coming in.

I was just looking up and seeing how the wind speaks to the trees and how that tree,

Every leaf responds and dances to the spirit of the wind and how it shimmers and light.

And then if you're aware of it,

It can do the same thing.

And that amazing gift of the sky,

The wind,

The trees,

You and this earth here being fed by that one source of spirit.

Now when you feel that,

It takes you out of your little mind and those thoughts that pass by.

You know those thoughts.

We all know those thoughts.

And we sit down to meditate and it's like,

Okay,

There's this,

There's that,

There's this,

There's that,

There's that stuff,

There's that.

But at some point we just,

Okay,

We're going to breathe,

Right?

And as you focus your mind on your breath,

You let some of the other thoughts go.

Let's do that.

You know that breath sweeps minds,

Right?

So let's breathe in and just,

Ah,

Just feel relaxed and good and breathe in deeply and hold your breath and just breathe out.

Just,

Ah,

Just release any stress or any stuff that you're going through.

Breathing in and then as you breathe in,

Start to feel that energy of spirit as you breathe out.

Let it,

Ah,

Fill your whole mind.

Let your whole head be surrounded by that spirit and let it do its work.

Let it lighten up your whole head area,

Your eyes,

Your nose,

Your mouth,

Your ears.

Ah,

Let it come into your throat and breathe into that throat,

This lovely energy.

Let that chakra there just be alive in that light of each breath.

Allow yourself to release any tension,

Anything,

Anything that might be a block or out of alignment.

Ah,

And come on down and let that spirit speak to your heart of hearts.

Just breathing in that spirit.

Ah,

And start to go into your heart with each breath going deeper and deeper into your heart of hearts.

Breathing in and breathe.

Feel that beautiful spirit connect with the love that you are and allow that spirit to speak to your heart of hearts.

What would spirit say to your heart?

What if spirit said,

Feel and be the love that you are.

Breathe that love into that energy of your heart,

Bringing light there.

And go into your whole chakra below your heart,

Your third chakra and all the organs there bringing light into the kidneys,

The liver,

The spleen,

The pancreas.

All of those organs need your love.

And share that spirit and love with all of your body,

Bringing light there.

And feel that love working in all the cells and all the organs of your body.

And bring it down into your stomach and allow that light to shine on the second chakra and all of your feelings and see what the spirit can do to bring life and light to that part of your body.

Breathe in and breathe out any tension there.

Release any blocks and allow that energy to come down to your root chakra.

Feel that light at work at the base of your spine.

See your whole body now surrounded by spirit light.

And allow that spirit to speak to you from the source which joins us all as one.

For in spirit we are all one.

In spirit we all have that gift of energy that lives forever in oneness.

It's not until we bring it down into our personality and our work and our ego in the form that we individuate that energy.

So for a moment just allow that oneness to come into your being.

Accept that oneness,

The oneness that is connecting you with the tree,

With the wind,

With the leaves,

With the birds,

With the earth,

The waters,

The wind,

The sky.

See that oneness of the energy of the source of all radiating through you and tying you together with the lovely energy of all here in spirit,

In form.

Allow that to redeem you and renew you and regenerate you.

Feel good and remember there's no room for judgment when you realize there is only oneness in spirit.

So allow yourself to be full of that light and love as I play you a poem I wrote today and I send you my blessings and my love from spirit,

My spirit,

To yours in oneness and love.

The sky is attuned to the dancing spirit carried by the wind.

The trees leaves shimmer in the light that carries the energy you hold within.

If you feel that wind,

Perhaps you might find the source of such mana is there and alive inside you is that spirit of life.

For you are that sky and you are that tree and you are the leaves that dance in the source of pure energy.

And in that oneness you can recognize the light of creation in everything abides and you can call in that energy for you are alive in that spirit brought here to experience how to live with form and life.

Spirit and creation coming here to live in form till that form returns to spirit to live forevermore.

Be that perfect energy.

Receive that gift of life.

Enjoy the beauty of being alive.

This gift so precious,

This gift so divine is here always when you decide to embrace who you really are in life.

For there is this oneness in you and there is this oneness in me and there is this perfect gift from the source of all energy.
