A fresh look at living in the Shadow of the Almighty: The cosmic application of Psalm 91


Psa 91:1-16  You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,

Here is what living in the shelter of the Most High and abiding in the shadow of the Almighty actually means in my view. It is the same as being in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. It is being aware of the matrix or the unified field, knowing and realizing that your higher conscious self is seated in that realm at all time. It is knowing that you are intrinsically connected to the universal energy force of creation that is the word of God and the cosmic eternal Christ. It is accessible by meditation and stillness of mind and soul. There is really no place where it begins, and you leave off or where you leave off and it begins. It is the place of connection to all that exists in the universe. It is the source of all agape love. It is the Tao, (the way.) There is so much spiritual power therein and spiritual power is actually the prime energy of the cosmos. It is birthed out of conscious thought and is what holds the universe together and it is the Christ, the powerful Word of God. It is the dwelling place where the Spirit, the Word, and the Father are one. However, the Spirit, the Word and the Father emanate from this place to all reaches of the cosmos. That is to the quark, the amoeba, the outermost galaxy and infuses all creation with light and life… light and life being the observable effect of energy.

The secret place, the shelter of the Most High and the Shadow of the Almighty is the All in All. It is the source of all that is. It is the realm where even darkness is bright light. Unseen light is still light none the less. There are many qualities of light in the light spectrum that are invisible to the human eye and the darkness is indeed light. The darkness is in the eye of the beholder and not true darkness. This light is the energy and life of all that lives, and even inanimate objects live with the vibrations of light. The consciousness of the universe is in every material object. This is to explain how unexplainable and incomprehensible being is the shadow of the Almighty really is. This knowledge should invigorate and inspire each of us to reach new exalted heights in our spiritual evolution that is always and ever on an upward expansive spiral. It is the antidote to division and strife.

 (2) I  will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."  (3)  For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence;  (4)  he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.  (5)  You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow that flies by day,  (6)  or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday.  (7)  A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.  (8)  You will only look with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

All of the above is merely descriptive of the watchfulness and care that is afforded those who are willing to dwell in the secret place, the Shadow of the Almighty. I should perhaps take a minute to explain the punishment of the wicked. It merely states the karmic law of reaping what is sowed. The punishment of the wicked is the end result of decisions and actions that are not in harmony with the love that is the source of all that is. All that is not sown in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, meekness and self-control will reap a negative reward for the sower in some way or form. 
  
(9)  Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your dwelling place,  (10)  no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.  (11)  For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.  (12)  On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.  (13)  You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.  (14)  Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name.  (15)  When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honor them.  (16)  With long life I will satisfy them, and show them my salvation.

When one becomes increasingly aware of the secret place, the Shelter of the Most High, the Shadow of the Almighty, one begins to reap the benefits of the faith and trust placed in the cosmic reality of energy that is love and light. It is the place where matter is created and can be changed. The more in tune one becomes with the cosmic Christ, the more ability one has to change the material world. This happens in degrees and stages and should not be construed to accuse those who suffer from lack or disease as being less than, or deficient in faith. Rather, it should encourage all to explore the realm of the Cosmic Christ, the Secret Place of the Most High, and the Shadow of the Almighty. May we ever meditate and move upward and onward to the heavenly places in Christ Jesus to become dwellers in the secret place.
