Amama Ua Noa

In the Gospel of Tomas, it is written, “When we find the Truth, we will be troubled; then, being troubled, we will be amazed and will rule over the entirety.”  The message is that when we uncover Truth, it can be unsettling or troubling. However, through this process of discovery and reflection, we may experience a sense of awe or astonishment. This newfound understanding allows us to navigate and govern our lives more effectively and comprehensively. 

The wonder and amazement of the bright light of Truth take my breath away, leaving me filled with an understanding that there is something far greater than what’s happening in my thinking mind. The same is true for you; the invitation is for you to recognize it.

We spend so much time judging, assessing, analyzing, formulating, and calculating every little detail of our lives to fit the conditioning of who we are as a product of the past. What if something else is possible? To dwell in the infinite realm of possibility, we have got to loosen our mental grip on what we think we know to make room for the unknown.

Let’s begin with Oneness. There is One Infinite Reality. I call It by many names, including, but not limited to, God, Spirit, Life, Universal Presence, Infinite Intelligence, First Cause, The Thing Itself, Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Source Energy, Creator, The Force, Eternity, The Way, The Tao, and so on. This One Infinite Reality is undivided, complete, and whole within Itself. This Oneness creates everything out of itself and therefore includes both the absolute and relative, tangible and intangible, physical and metaphysical aspects of reality.

If you find yourself getting wobbly this week, read the paragraph above and remember there is only one thing happening here now: the Divine. This Divine Presence is within you, as you, it is you. You were made in the image and likeness of this Loving Presence. It wants to live, love, shine, and experience being human as you. Who do you think you are to stand in the way of Spirit shining its magnificent, radiant light through you? 

Amama Ua Noa.

Amama Ua Noa is a saying in Hawaiian culture, meaning the taboo is lifted. Say it aloud, Amama Ua Noa. I know who I am from this moment forward, Amama Ua Noa. The taboo of illusion is dissolved into the native nothingness from whence it came. Amama Ua Noa. I am that I am. Amama Ua Noa. I am open and available to the magnificent good Spirit has in store for me. Amama Ua Noa.

Ernest Holmes observed, “Good and more good is mine. An ever-increasing good is mine. There is no limit to the good which is mine. Everywhere I go, I see this good, I feel it, I experience it. It presses itself against me, flows through me, expresses itself in me, and multiplies itself around me.”

Amama Ua Noa. Amama Ua Noa. Amama Ua Noa.

And so it is.
