And… there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud…(Exodus 19:16).
These are dramatic expressions of the change of consciousness as we move away from the common things of life to the higher things.
In these days of the Exodus, the conditions of the outer world answered very quickly to man’s thoughts because people believed it was possible. Moses took his people across the Red Sea by the power of thought, and he was able to do that because in those days people believed in the power of thought. They believed that God could take them across the Red Sea dry shod, and He did.
Moses had the true knowledge of God from his father’s people, the Hebrews. It was the historical mission of the Hebrews to teach that God is not a limited, corporeal being, but incorporeal, infinite, divine mind.
Moses saw clearly the unity of God and man, and the unity of man and man. He got more than a flash of what we call the cosmic consciousness. That was his illumination. Then he realized that he must give this to humanity.
As has been said many times in the Good Morning Garden, thought is the most powerful force in the universe next to God. It is also the way we communicate with God. Our thoughts become our words and deeds and they shape the reality in which we live. When we change our thoughts we alter our consciousness for good or ill. That is why the Bible places so much emphasis on prayer, contemplation of God and right thinking.
Accepting the existence of God is a thought that changes our consciousness and thereby changes our world. The inverse is also true of all these things. When we refuse to believe, accept, commit and live according to God’s will our universe, lives and world will reflect that as well. Committing oneself to living according to God’s will is a thought that, when implemented changes our behavior and thereby affects all those we touch.
The result is that love, joy, gladness, gratitude and all our feelings are manifested into the world as emotions which are also thoughts. These are the thoughts that cultivate a garden in which we can share God’s consciousness and we can become the vehicle to bring change to the world in which we live for the good of all.
By thinking, I am,
