Ernest Holmes Quote:  Affirmation: I create the life I choose with the omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence of Spirit as my ever present partner.“...every man stands in the shadow of a mighty Mind, a pure Intelligence and a Divine givingness!”

                        

The Ubiquity of Spirit

Throughout the ages writers, sages and other learned men and women have spoken and written about the omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence of God. Since the descriptor God, Dios, Allah etc. has, to the senses of some, a less than positive connotation I am choosing to call that Power: Spirit, for it seems less semantically loaded.

Recently, I was contemplating the coffee table in my office where I see clients. Beside the stacks of books on everything from Buddhist psychology to the anthropological development of Andean musical instruments, there sits a Buddha, gifted from a grateful client, with such a serene smile. His captivating smile surveys the table and the room and was the catalyst to take notice that everything in the room both animate and inanimate is Spirit essence. Each piece, from the magnificent orchids and violets to the miniature bird water flutes are all manifestations of Spirit. They merely are differing forms of that Spirit expression. The chairs, the cushions, the flowers in the vases, the couch no longer were objects in my life; their true Spirit nature shone forth. They were each Spirit in differing form with differing but specific functions and applications.

Look up from what you are reading!! Survey your surroundings, wherever you are. Notice whatever you notice and recognize the Spirit essence of what you are observing. Everything inanimate in your surroundings was once merely an idea in the mind of its creator. The animate were also an idea in the Mind of their Creator. Our sensory experience differentiates them; but, in their essence they are all Spirit. This is omnipresence in vivo. You have just realized Spirit is ever present. You are not alone. You are NEVER alone for Spirit is always within and without. It is everywhere present. So, you and I are connected to Spirit at all times. There is never a time when Spirit is not with you and with me.

What a powerful knowing to bring into your life. Every time circumstances bring forth something undesired; we now know, that despite appearances, Spirit is ever present in  everything and at every moment in time..

If everything around me is an expression of Spirit then each object knows what to do. The chair knows to support me; the table knows to support what is put on it; the water flute knows to make the sounds it makes when filled with water and air is forced through it; the orchid knows when to bloom and for how long. So, I too know what to do when I tune into my essence. I am essentially no different from you and you too have this knowing. You merely need to access it remembering your Spirit essence. This individual knowing is the omniscience of Spirit.

Spirit created it ALL. From the most minute to the most gigantic. From the very simple to the most complex. Each bit or amalgam of bits is awe inspiring if you contemplate it. Can you just stop and imagine the power that exists in this capacity to create and to endlessly continue to create. This, then, is the omnipotence of Spirit.

So there you have the magnificent “trio of omni's” all at your beck and call. They each come wrapped in the mellifluous fabric of LOVE. They are yours for the asking.

What else do you need to live a life of munificence? The Ubiquity of Spirit makes it all possible. Go ahead tap into it!!
