The joy of expression,
Creation itself could not have existed, if it were not for the supreme act of expression.
The point where energy changed form, and became matter was the beginning of all that is. This was the ultimate act of love, and expression from the divine consciousness that we call God.
By design, it is the very desire, and nature of energy to express itself, by seeking out, and merging with like particles. Then this energy slows its vibration, and finally takes shape as physical matter. But what causes this meta-physical force to reconfigure itself? And what is the purpose of this alteration?
As gasoline releases its potential with the ignition of flame, so the infinite energy of the universe requires the direction of thought to spark its transformation. And this remarkable process is ongoing every second, of everyday. It is the process of being, experiencing, and is the final result of knowing. Expression creates the physical experience. With the absence of experience, we would all be just biological computers, collecting data, and never being able to process it. It would be information without applicationagain, just data.
So how does this expression\experience process come into play in our tiny little lives? Well, for one thing, our lives are far from tiny! The impact of our thoughts, words, and actions ripples into eternity, causing a shift in a reactive universe, much like a stone thrown into a pond, creating waves of infinite possibility. The only weak link in this cosmic chain is the human animal's nature to play small, and limit true potential. And unfortunately, we have been conditioned to fear our true capability.
A great deal can be learned from our surroundings, as nature expresses itself with absolute certainty everyday. One only needs to look upon a group of wild flowers that have just been kissed by the gentle lips of spring. The flowers bloom with zero effort, or fear, and express themselves fully, and completely.
To know, and to be are two entirely different things, as one can say, I am a kind, and generous person, but if one does not express kindness, and generosity to them self, or others, then one is just paying lip service; and no form was given to that statement. However again it is human nature to quickly give expression to fear, than to articulate love. And acts of fear will produce experiences just as potent, as love. But the main difference between love, and fear is that love can, and does overcome fear, not the other way around. As fear is simply a place where love has not taken hold. But thankfully, love is a seed that will grow in the most barren of soil.
Today's society is a collective expression of fear; and is perpetuated by the belief that life should be a constant struggle, full of anxiety, and drama. And it is the universe's philosophy to always grant what is requested of it, hence the saying be careful what you wish for. Sadly enough, many folks actually define themselves by their negative, and unpleasant experiences, so they continue to express themselves as a product of their trials, and tribulations. This creates a vicious cycle of expression, and experience where no growth, or joy exists at all. But a simple shift in how we view our lives is all it takes to break this pattern. We can alter our perception, and choose to see life as a playground, or a blank canvas, or even a big gob of clay waiting to be molded into a beautiful work of art.
However we choose to see the miracle of life, gratitude, and joy must be infused into the equation, as these very positive states are at the essence of love, and the more we learn to express joy, and love, the closer we become to the source of all creation. Love attracts loving experiences, and joy attracts joyful experiences. This is the experience of God; this is the expression of the universe. And fear was never taken into consideration during this construction.
So how does one learn the joy of expression? We start by remembering that we are in fact God's expression of love, and joy. We were never seen as a struggle or a burden when we were made. And it is up to every one of us to keep these joyful, loving states of being working in our lives always, as they are a gift, a gift that truly keeps on giving. We also need to keep in mind that our souls have been imprinted\ hardwired with a full awareness of love, and joy. So all that is needed, is to go inward, and allow the eternal part of us to operate. Then expressing love, and joy, will be as simple as breathing!
Which is a stronger statement; I know about love, and joy. Or, I express, and experience love, and joy. how do these statements apply in your life?
May you always experience the joy of expression!
