Psalm 50:7-15 “Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, I
will testify against you. I am God, your God. (8) Not for your
sacrifices do I rebuke you; your burnt offerings are continually before
me. (9) I will not accept a bull from your house, or goats from
your folds. (10) For every wild animal of the forest is mine, the
cattle on a thousand hills. (11) I know all the birds of the air,
and all that moves in the field is mine. (12) "If I were
hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and all that is in it is mine.
(13) Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
(14) Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving and pay your vows to the
Most High. (15) Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver
you, and you shall glorify me."
I want to begin this with the idea of thought forms or egregores.
As I have written about them before they are real and have actual spiritual
power. In fact, all religions are thought forms, and have a life of their own.
I also want to mention the fact that in my eclectic spirituality view, I see that
there is mystical revelation from Source in most religious and philosophical
texts. The Judeo-Christian bible is no different. If by chance you think this
is simply cherry-picking scripture passages, I have written about the absurdity
of that claim in other posts and will not deal with it here.
The above Psalm passage falls into that category in my view,
because it is consistent with a loving God, and a God who sees justice and
people being “just” as important. Please do not confuse this with the name it
and claim it gospel, the prosperity gospel, or the "Think and Grow
Rich" crowd. All of those ideas and many I have not mentioned cater to the
individual. That is not the case here. I am writing this to all of us who make
up the collective consciousness. Consider that there is but one creative
source, and that as science is beginning to suggest, it is a field of
consciousness. Within this field is unlimited creative potential. Within this
field there is no lack. The possibility of lack comes with mortal material
existence and the fear of not having enough to survive. Likewise, I believe
that the root of greed is the survival instinct. However, if the reality is we
are eternal souls and spirits within the divine universal field of
consciousness, then we can safely change our thinking and thought processes.
This in turn can create a thought form, egregore, that is not founded in a
zero-sum game. As more and more conscious agents embrace this thought form the
ability to realize and experience more abundance for all will begin to manifest
in material reality.
This is different than the law of attraction, or the prosperity
gospel, or think and grow rich mentality because they are basically geared
toward individual accomplishment and achievement. What I am proposing is
collective. It is a way to begin to generate abundance in a much more fair and
just way that will increasingly eliminate lack for more and more
individuals. It has the potential to radically change humanity and I think
it could be an instrumental way for people to help move the age of Aquarius
forward. The way it would work is to find people committed to meditating on
universal abundance and justice. Once formed and allowed to grow stronger it
would change the dynamic from greed to sustainable improvement globally, and
who knows, it could catch on and glide past the tipping point bringing about
real change.
This concept fits nicely with some of the great religious and
philosophical teachings over the centuries. It was Jesus that
said, Matt 6:31-33 “So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we
eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' (32) For
the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you
need them. (33) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.” I believe he was
trying to get them to change their thought construct and for a time they did. I
think it is important to point out that verse thirty-three could as easily be
translated but seek first his kingdom and his justice.
The Tao resembles the stretching of a bow:
it humbles the mighty, and exalts the lowly; it takes from those who have
much and gives to those in need. This is the Tao— it diminishes those who
have abundance, and nourishes those who lack. The human way is just the
opposite— creditors take from those who lack and lavishes those who
already abound! Where are the wealthy who will use their riches to serve
the world? The wise earn much, but claim it not for themselves. They
accomplish much, but are not attached to their accomplishments. They
succeed abundantly, yet make no show of their success. Lao Tzu. Tao Te
Ching . Ancient Renewal. Kindle Edition. Here Lao Tzu is suggesting that if
humans meditate on abundance for all without extravagant opulence that the Tao
will provide. It is my belief that what we call the divine unified field of
consciousness, he called the Tao.
So, from several traditions you have the same concept though
stated different. There is no lack in the divine unified field of
consciousness, and creating that thought form will indeed help bring it into
fruition. Not so that one can have opulence, but so that one can avoid lack.
