Seeking Higher Things 

I think I had a spiritual awakening – like a sort of profound shift in my consciousness. I don’t even know how this happened and I can’t pinpoint when it started but it’s been growing. I just somehow know stuff that I probably would never have known if I perceived life from what was presented to me right before my eyes. I cannot quite articulate this other-worldly experience but what I do know is that it has created a thirst that I feel I must somehow quench. It’s maybe turned me into a philosopher of sorts, a seeker, a dreamer. I feel like I have stepped outside of the world and I am walking along its outskirts. I have no idea what I am doing but I am kind of on a mission to understand it more. So I thought that I would start with finding the logical explanations to my faith 🙂

“If it’s not deep, then I don’t want it anymore…” 

I toyed so much with the idea of writing something mainstream but if I did that, then it would be inauthentic. I feel like my mind has expanded so much that nothing superficial really excites me anymore – literature, conversation, events. If you are bringing it, then it should challenge my thought process – like the idea of ‘atonement’. I know that this is an unpopular opinion but gone are the days when people who never believed in the spiritual were considered superior in thought.

For your mind to comprehend a virgin birth, a Triune God and the washing away of indelible stains by the blood of a figurative lamb requires you to expand your mind. To use a part of your brain muscle that you have probably never tapped into. Someone once said that atheism is intellectual laziness – hate to confirm that over the period that I have taken time out to seek higher truths, I have come to the realization that this could indeed be true. Grasping of spiritual concepts or principles is actually a full-on science class.

I seldom quote men that are not of the faith, because I truly believe that if somethings foundation does not stem from the place of my belief, then it is tainted to an extent [this is me being guarded not selfish]. But, I will make an exception; Nikola Tesla discovered scientific truths beyond his years that deeply pertain to faith. He is quoted; – “If you wish to understand the universe, think of energy, frequency and vibration”. People usually interchange the word universe and ‘God’ – it’s baffling because I genuinely thought that one is the creator and the other is creation! And when you immerse yourself into the finer details of Quantum Physics, you start to see how indeed, sound (which is a form of vibrational energy) was used to create the universe [He spoke the world into being].

We are made of Mind, Body and Spirit, we spend a lot of our lives exercising our bodies and minds (through workouts and thinking), but how about our spirit man? Ideally if exercise of these ‘muscles’ (the body being actual muscles and the mind being the brain), makes you a better version of yourself physically and intellectually, then exercising your spiritual muscle should literally ‘give you wings’. Faith is your spiritual muscle – and guys, it’s not a pursuit for the faint hearted – it takes energy to exercise faith, it takes all your will power to ignore everything contradictive in the physical to enable you do something that you can only sense using your Extra Sensory Perception (sixth sense).

Sometimes I wonder, if truly there be a sovereign being of magnitudinous power that holds ALL things together, should it not be our most important pursuit in life to know Him? To tap into the source of life, itself? There is an inexhaustive world outside of the mundane ordinary one we have accustomed ourselves to and I want to explore it. When the creator formed us in our mothers wombs, he knew that the world would not be able to contain some of us because we were deemed seekers.

“Seek and you will find”.
