The Infinite Variety of Creation

In his book ‘Creating Health’, Deepak Chopra says, “All of nature, therefore, is nothing but a teeming universe of all kinds of impulses or thoughts expressing themselves in the infinite variety of creation.”

Look around you, where ever you are, you won’t see anything that hasn’t originated in a thought. If what you see is man made, then first someone had a need for that thing and then someone thought about it and created the design, although there maybe some kitchen gadgets where someone thought about it and we were told subsequently that we can’t live without it.

If it is a nature made thing then there is a constant desire, or thought, of growth and expansion, the acorn has within it the potential of a great oak, and the oak has the eternal desire (or thought) to continue it’s gene pool and expand through the acorn.

“The infinite variety of creation” - infinite meaning endless, and limitless. There is no limit to the boundaries of our thought, whether we use that for physical healing, the development of new technology or to gain self mastery. Regardless of how it sometimes feels, you are the only thinker in your mind. It may feel and sound like there are many. Karen Drucker sings about ‘taming her inner critic’, and I have attended lectures where I have been encouraged to characterise my various voices and have inner dialogue with them. But the bottom line is that there is just you and your consciousness, you are the thinker and as you become more self aware you can take a step away and be your own observer.

If you are reading this knowing that you have various voices and you haven’t been clinically diagnosed with schizophrenia, take a moment to imagine yourself outside of yourself observing your thoughts. As you move into the role of observer I invite you to a new awareness about the workings of your thoughts and impulses. It is from here that we have an opportunity to practice a new level of consciousness and move into greater awareness about the powerful creator we are.

Play with this and practice it. If you start a new exercise regime you start slow and build it up, you don’t immediately go and lift up the heaviest weight, the journey back to the self is just the same, be gentle with yourself, go at your own pace, experiment with the times it is easy to observe and when it is harder. I know that as you play, experiment and practice it will become easier and you will start to gain new insight in to your self.

Remember, this is not an opportunity for your inner critic to give you a hard time, this is when you can invite the highest and best of you to come out to play. Just like a child, you will grow and learn, just like the acorn, you already have all the magnificence of the oak within you.

Today I become the observer. I release all judgement about my inner journey and I trust and know that I am in the perfect place, at the perfect time, doing the perfect thing. As I practice I move into a greater sense of self easily and effortlessly and I know my inner perfection in all moments.

In love. J x
