Ferrari Ride into the Light

If you’ve been aware of what’s grabbing our collective human interest in the past few years, you’d see that amongst new technology, the climate crisis and political developments, there has been a whole lot of focus on manifesting, and conscious creation.

Unless you’ve been a hermit or living under a rock for a while you would have heard of “The Secret” and all kinds of books and programs focused on the law of attraction, on instant manifestation, conscious creation, the science of success, on creation rituals, visualizations and affirmations.

And it’s about time!

So I wanted to share an insight with you into what this is about in the greater scheme of things. You see, for thousands of years, as we lost sight of our true identity and nature we also lost sight of our powers of creation. All of this is part of the greater divine plan, of course, and now there is a huge groundswell of interest in our ability to manifest whatever it is we desire.

Now when you think about this, you probably wouldn’t see this as a spiritual interest at first. I mean, if you wanted a red Ferrari or a million dollars, and discovered a way in which you could get it faster, is this spiritual? How can it be?

We can arrive at clarity on this if we ask ourselves what is spirituality anyway? Now, obviously you would hear many different definitions of spirituality. Some mistaken, some enlightening and some more accurate than others. I’d like you to think about this as a definition: “Spirituality is the progression in the direction of Self Awareness”. The loaded word here of course is ‘Self’. What is Self? Who are you, really? This definition would seem limited if you think of yourself merely as a body-mind-ego complex, but would be more accurate if you see that you are essentially spirit in physical form, ie:spirit manifesting as and expressing through the body-mind-ego complex.

I remember clearly the experience I had about 15 years ago when I first heard the statement “We are not just human beings who have occasional spiritual experiences, but we are spiritual beings who are for now having a human experience” This one sentence powerfully crystallized a truth that had been emerging within in my consciousness over many years.

And if you are essentially Spirit, then your true self is spirit, which we can also call consciousness, energy, all that is, divine essence or God. (The word ‘God’, unfortunately, has been tarnished by centuries of doctrine and false beliefs. Only when you move through these false ideas, can you start to accept that the deepest part of you is in fact God.)

So if you are spirit, as you advance towards self discovery, you simultaneously advance towards spirit. And self discovery can come about by discovering what lies at the heart of your identity, or by discovering more about your nature. Imagine that you are a prince. You are of royal heritage. One day, while riding in the forest you fall from your horse and experience amnesia. You forget who you are. You stray far away from the castle and live as a beggar. The pain of poverty leads you to question your existence. And the questions cause you to advance towards self discovery.

This process can come about by remembering that you are indeed the royal prince, or it can come about by slowly discovering that you have hundreds of horses, a beautiful princess and a majestic castle.

Similarly by discovering that you can indeed draw to yourself whatever you desire, and consciously create and manifest things, circumstances or even worlds very effectively, you would discover that you are not as limited as you think you are. It would reawaken you to your abilities and your innate power, which is a step closer to remembering who you truly are.

For centuries we have been involved in spirituality driven by our motivations to experience more peace, more clarity, to avoid pain, and to reach higher levels of mastery and perfection. This is driven by the ‘call of spirit’. More recently in addition to these motivations we are now driven by the desire to be more, do more, and yes – to have more! This has led us to discover more of our hidden powers and gifts. Again, the call of spirit is certainly not absent in this process (Is it ever?) So with this perception maybe you would now see manifestation teachings and programs in a slightly different light, and perhaps even embrace them more readily. It is perfect and beautiful that we are now re-awakening to our long lost powers, and awakening to self-realization.

Maybe this would give you motivation to go for that Red Ferrari after all! Or that holiday overseas, or perhaps that beautiful mansion you’ve been dreaming about. Achieving these things could raise your level of being into a more dynamic, powerful realm and raise your level of consciousness. Because at the end of the day and in the greater scheme of things, it really isn’t about the Red Ferrari. That is, of course, unless you say it is!
