I have a mind and a body and emotions, but I am not my mind, I am not my body, I am not my emotions. Just as God expresses Its essence through the forms that fill the universe, I express my essence through my mind, my body, and my emotions. I use my mind to perceive the world, I use my body to interact with the world and I use my emotions to feel the human atmosphere of the world. But the essence of who I am, the spirit that animates my body, that perceives through my mind, that recognizes Truth through my emotions is as infinite and eternal as God – it IS God and it lives in the field discovered by Rumi, beyond judgments of right and wrong, in perfect balance, harmony and oneness. As my mind perceives this balance, as my conscious awareness of this Truth expands, my emotions grasp the joy of oneness and bring it into this present moment, and my mind, my body and my emotions are flooded with perfect peace. This is the seed of world peace, planted in every human heart, waiting to be watered with love and nurtured with awareness, to blossom as joy.
If this resonates with you, you might take 15-20 minutes to sit with these words and let them resonate with your mind, body and emotions – feel the oneness and the peace.
Love and blessings,
Rev. Sharri
