Four Levels of Your Existence

“Good things you can do with the mind.
Greater things still you can do
with the heart.”

--From my book, Close Your Eyes to Find Your Way

The mind is a wonderful instrument to use in the creation and development of new ideas. In fact, this is exactly what it was designed to do. When you consider the equally valid fact that we are emotional beings, you will further understand that incorporating your heart into your most expansive and challenging endeavors will only serve to augment their impact.

When you look at any new idea through the eyes of your heart, you will automatically feel more connected with that idea. You will find you invest something of yourself that would not otherwise surface. We are intelligent beings. We are emotional beings. We are creative beings. We love to be a part of the creation of that which we believe to be an important venture, whether great or small.

It is good to be this way because it is in our nature to be this way. Participation in growth is what feeds the flow of energy through our being. Always in the creative process there is learning to be had. Learning is feeding on the wisdom of the universe and all of its glory. It is the reward of directed curiosity. It is the expression of the divinity within.

I say this because all knowledge out there is already within each one of us, although we don’t realize this until we have grasped it. You see you are one with everything in the universe, and when you yearn to learn a new idea, you are expressing the divinity within you to bring that connection even closer on an intellectual level, even physical level.

The real you exists on several levels:

You are spiritual. This is where you are one with all that exists.
You are intellectual. You have the capability to grasp ideas in your mind.
You are emotional. You have the ability to connect with a new idea and care for it.
You are physical. You seek to experience a new idea.

When you get every level of your being to focus in concert on the development of any new idea, you practically guarantee the success of that idea. It is similar to the power gained when several small rivers come together to form one large river. There is power!

You can know that when you get every level of your being focused on the same outcome, that outcome must be in your best interest. If it were not so, your spiritual level would not make the connection.

Try to see everything you do in your daily life from these different perspectives: spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical. The more you can bring your total awareness into the picture, the more wisdom you will find to decide if the goal is worthy, and if it is, you will have at your disposal far more resources to accomplish it.

Let me know if this is helpful to you.

Thank you,
