Awaken to Divine Intelligence
Take a moment to spot five vivid sights—golden sunlight filtering through leaves, a crimson mug steaming, blue sky streaked with clouds, a friend’s warm smile, and intricate wood grain on the table. Touch four textures—soft sweater brushing skin, cool tabletop, smooth phone screen, rough bark of a nearby tree. Hear three sounds—chirping birds outside, rhythmic breathing, distant traffic hum. Smell two aromas—freshly brewed coffee, blooming jasmine nearby. Taste one sensation—minty gum. This grounds you, quieting chaos, opening your soul to the cosmic presence.
Ernest Holmes, in The Science of Mind, unveils a profound truth: “There is no such thing as your mind, my mind, his mind, and God’s Mind. There is just Mind in which we all live and move and have our being.”
Our personal mind is a spark of this Infinite Mind—God, not as a bearded sky-judge, but a vibrant power within. Holmes insists, “There’s a power for good in the universe greater than you are and you can use it.”
Imagine a pie; it could be any pie. One slice is what you know, your skills, your values, etc. Another is what you know you don’t know—Quantum Physics, Mandarin. The rest? A vast, juicy expanse of what you don’t know you don’t know. That’s Divine Intelligence—limitless, infinite possibility. As humans, we often cling to the familiar, anchoring our dreams to the shadows of past experiences, dimming the brilliance of what’s possible. When we craft the future from the ashes of past experiences, we confine our creations to a narrow echo of what was, stifling the boundless potential of what could be.
Tapping into Divine Intelligence means leaning into the unknown present, surrendering to infinite possibility, following spiritual breadcrumbs on the unfolding path. When I surrender to Divine Intelligence, trusting the unfolding mystery of each moment, the outcomes blaze far beyond my wildest visions, reshaping my life with radiant, unimaginable splendor. Ananda, a sacred Sanskrit term woven through Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, ignites the soul with the fire of ultimate bliss, a state where joy transcends the ordinary. When I tap into Divine Intelligence and trust the process, the result is usually beyond Ananda, if you can imagine that!
Holmes explains the way it works: “We cannot recognize that It is, while we are believing that It is not… If we say we can only experience a little good, then we shall experience but a little good. But if we say, with Emerson, ‘There is no great and no small to the soul that maketh all,’ then we may experience a greater good because we have conceived it.” Our belief shapes our reality; our unbelief or doubt blocks it.
Divine Intelligence flows through you now, weaving your spark into the infinite tapestry of Mind. Trust this vibrant power, surrender to its boundless possibilities, and let your belief expand beyond the known. Embrace the cosmic dance of creation, where every step forward, guided by faith, unveils a reality greater than your wildest dreams, radiating Ananda and beyond.
And so it is.
