My Big Hush Theory...

A "simple" explanation of the Big Bang theory states that 13.7 billion years ago the universe was concentrated in a single point of mass and energy, and then it expanded creating time and space along with it.

Charles Fillmore said "The scientific metaphysician fixes his attention powerfully on the consummation of a certain idea until he has a realization (it happens), which means that the idea has nucleated a certain amount of thought substance."

These two concepts seem to be pretty much in agreement, as I see it. Perhaps God; Spirit, was focused hard enough, and nucleated enough thought-substance to manifest the universe.  I have been on the planet long enough to have seen a continuous increase in activity-driven lifestyles. The "activity" may be high-energy or low, physical, emotional or mental. It might be running from one sport or exercise event to another, or it may be hours being "entertained" by loud music, video games, or computer socializing.

Unfortunately this is having a very negative impact on people's lives. Each day unfolds not unlike a walk down the midway at a carnival..."barkers" calling for our attention: "come here," "try this," "be a winner," "try your luck." We are expertly compelled to add to our "to-do," "to-be," "to-buy," "to-go" lists.

 As soon as we acclimate our lifestyle to one frenetic pace, again we walk down life's midway, craving "more, more, more!" Our children are conditioned early on, unable to release their I-pod, X-box or phone, participating in an endless flow of meaningless games or text messages.  We seem to be living reverberations of the initial "big bang," stretching out...to infinity, perhaps?
 
My theory..."The Big Hush Theory," posits that from within; our very soul, having reached its' limits for the insanity...will send forth a vibration...a desire from the soul...that says: "Hush...Peace, be still." Through the ethers of Spirit, the vibration will resonate from soul, to soul, to soul. And it is here that we will find the Divine Guidance, in our mind, which is our connecting link with the Mind of God. And it is here where the Kingdom of All Good can manifest.

Frankly, I would like that to happen tomorrow, but it probably won't. There are not enough of us who have awakened to something better than the ego-centered world of sense-consciousness. But I do believe it will happen. If you find that this message resonates with something within your own heart and soul, I invite you to join me in hastening the shift.

How can you help? Take time each day to turn all of the distractions off and spend some time in the silence. It is no surprise that we have two ears and one mouth. This is so we can listen more and talk less. No TV, radio, computer, or phone. Then, BE. Simply BE. God will take care of the rest.

I would like to share a favorite affirmation that I would say to each person I prayed with at Silent Unity. I hope you will love it as much as I do:

"There is a place, deep within the heart, where all is still and all is quiet. And as we turn within we find that still and quiet place, where we find that we have all the faith, and all the strength, to do that which is to be done by us."

So...anyway...that's MY theory, and I'm sticking with it!

Have a stupendous week.
