The
Power Within Us
Robert Elias Najemy
The Power to Create
Through His example, Christ gave
us the message that there is a great power within us and that we can do wonders
if we believe in ourselves and the Divine. With that faith we even conquer
death.
This divine power is within each
of us. We are the temples of the living God. His power resides within us.
Our lesson is to use it properly in harmony with the universal laws of creation,
so as to create harmony in our personal and communal lives. As manipulators
of divine power, we are co-creators with the Divine.
Until now, we have been doing
a poor job of using that power. We have created a world with a considerable
amount of pain, injustice, inequality, loneliness, violence and famine.
We need to re-find that power
again within us, and use it now together with its proper companion - love.
Power without love, as man has used it until today, is destructive and ugly,
similar to many of our cities. Power with love is harmonious and beautiful
like nature.
The Power to Forgive
That power allows us to transcend
our «small human egos», which hold on to our little resentments,
hurts and anger. Christ gave us clear message with his attitude towards those
who harmed him. As he spoke these words, «They know not what they do»,
he taught us the need to understand.
All negative behaviors are a result
of our fear, insecurity and ignorance. When people harm us with their words
or actions, they are acting out of insecurity and in ignorance of their and
our unified divine nature. They are controlled by their programming and are
not capable of doing otherwise.
As we grow into higher levels
of consciousness, we will feel more secure and understand and forgive them.
He forgave and prayed for those who killed him. This message has failed to
seep into our hearts, even though two thousand years have passed since that
powerful event.
The other who has done us harm,
was simply bringing to us the results of our past choices, present beliefs
and the lessons which we have chosen to learn at this time. It is a test.
It is our opportunity for spiritual growth.
We need to understand that the
other is acting out of ignorance, insecurity and fear.
We need to understand also that
this event is happening to us for a reason to test our wisdom, strength and
love.
We have everything to gain by
forgiving that person.
We forgive not for the other's
sake but for ours. We are the ones who suffer as long as we do not forgive
and forget whatever has happened. We are immersed in our own negative energy,
which deteriorates our emotional harmony as well as our nervous, endocrine
and immune systems.
There is, however, a great difference
between suppressing anger and transcending it through wisdom and love.
In the first case we ignore reality.
In the second case, we need to connect to the Truth.
