Universal Intelligence

A friend of mine came up with a great metaphor for our connection with the universal intelligence. A jigsaw puzzle (thank you Rev Shawn). There isn't the the puzzle and the pieces, the pieces are the puzzle. There isn't me and the universal intelligence, I am that intelligence as well as being the physical suitcase of me.

Now we could get into the nature of that universal intelligence, but that could be divisive and I only want oneness. So let us look at this from a more quantum science type view. At the very microscopic level, everything, ant I do mean absolutely everything, is made up of the same stuff, which is light or energy. And what I remember about energy from my high school science class is that it cannot be created or destroyed, it just changes form. A hair dryer takes electrical energy and changes it into heat and wind (the movement of air). This is a very obvious transformation that we wouldn't see as remarkable and it takes place when we move a switch. But at a quantum level the energy of our body is always changing form, largely because the intelligence in our body sends intention and chemical signals for it to do so. I accept that this is a very simplified version of how it works, but I'm a very simple kind of person. If you want to understand more about this, pick up on some of the links at the bottom and get reading and watching.

We are universal intelligence, regardless of us understanding it or not. Just like gravity keeps us walking on the planet, this intelligence is at work through us in every moment.

The great thing, and I so love this, is that science can now support what spiritual teachers have been saying for thousands of years. We can direct this intelligence through our thoughts and feelings.

Bruce Lipton explains how this works eloquently and simply in his book "The Biology of Belief." And in "What the Bleep do we know", the whole quantum paradigm is introduced in a very user friendly way. If you struggle with it to start with, just allow it to wash over you, it's so worth the time to get this stuff.

You are vastly more powerful that you know and you can change the way you think and how you experience life.  I know this is possible because I have done it.  I have travelled a long journey through depression and stress, alcohol and anti-depressants to be the centred, confident and self-aware woman that I am today.  I am not, for one minute, saying it is a five minute fix. It sounds real simple when you say, "oh just change your thinking and have a fab life." The concept is very simple, but the journey is not always easy. What I do know is that for me, it was essential, and if I can do it anyone can.

You have all that you need within you because you are that universal intelligence. I invite you to take the first step, as the Tao says, "A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step." If your life is not working and you want to feel better about who you are, be willing.  Be willing to own that thought, but know that you are enough, you are loved and that all you need is within you, it is just a case of discovering it and making friends with it.

Today I remember that all I need already exists within me, that there is always a surplus and that there is nothing that I cannot be, do or have.

In love. J x
