The Cosmic Process Demands Flexibility!
Every day is filled with opportunities for enriching our lives and causing us to embrace our spiritual magnificence! As we deepen our commitment to the Cosmic Process of evolving at a soul level, we realize that every change moving us forward in a significant way takes great flexibility.
Recently someone said to me, “Flexibility means more than just touching your toes!” Flexibility calls for the ability to adapt, to adjust or be able to bend (first in thought) without breaking. In truth, the Cosmic Process of continual growth and change cannot take place unless It is able to find an outlet, and human beings are one way God is able to move creative ideas from the invisible to the visible.
The key to allowing more flexibility in our individual lives is accepting the self as a vital part of the Cosmic Process. We formerly thought of ourselves as just a part of life on planet earth, i.e., there were not many people in 1899 who dreamed of going to the moon! Yet, our modes of transportation have changed from the horse and buggy to computerized automobiles. The Wright brothers were told they would never get that contraption off the ground, but the Cosmic Process of a Divine Idea prevailed. Today, satellites have been launched for all sorts of communication, and we have an international space station that has been manned for exploration and greater discoveries. NASA still dreams and plans that one day the nearest constellations will not only be contacted but visited!
There have been tremendous advances in science, medicine, education and religions. Every day, we are being called to a greater awareness of the Cosmic Process and the ability to be mentally and emotionally flexible enough to live from that larger premise. In 1 Corinthians 2:9, it is written, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him (Infinite Goodness)”.
The adjustment from merely thinking from the narrow mind of our humanity to the open mind of our Divinity isn’t always easy. However, if we want to be in the Cosmic Process, we will live in the consciousness of possibilities. Ask yourself, “Is my thinking up to date? Do I use yesterday as a yardstick for today? Where do I refuse to be flexible or adaptable? Am I still resisting the computer and the worldwide web? What are the excuses and reasons I use to keep me from changing even the smallest things I know I really should change?”
The individual mind is the point of origination that initiates the Cosmic Process. Let us not allow fear of change to keep us from improving our world. We must be willing to shake up habits that keep us in rigid patterns that bind or stifle creativity.
Starting with simple changes is a good idea, i.e., brushing your hair with the opposite hand, sleeping on the other side of the bed, taking a different route to work every day. When you do your spiritual practices, open to the idea that God’s Mind works through you revealing fresh, new creative ideas that bring ways to change for the better. When you do that, watch out because the Cosmic Process has been engaged and newness is assured!
