What is referred to as Father Time is a manifestation of the earth plane that allows thought-forms and inspiration to be grounded into human reality. Time is a necessary element of our planet of duality; nevertheless, it can feel limiting and heavy since our physical bodies are restricted by it at the same time that our spiritual selves—our Souls—are able to operate in the unified field, merging with All That Is. The dichotomy between self and Soul feels most pronounced at those times when our perception is focused in the world of form, yet touches the amorphous world of spirit. Union with what is perceived on the earth plane as “other than self” is desired, but that longing is restricted by physical form’s adherence to the conceptual elements of time and space via the reasoning mind.
At times when the veils are thinner between planes of consciousness (i.e., the world of form and those worlds in which Soul simultaneously resides), the possibility of being unbound by form is realized between the spaces of earthly moments, connecting personality with its greater whole. The limitlessness of who we are in our entirety awakens us not only to the world of the unmanifested, but also to the wider possibilities for our earthly existence. This can emerge in the human body as both an overwhelming sense of potential and feelings of bliss as well as gut-wrenching feelings of sadness and isolation. Though the emotional body may experience pain, that pain can be the opening into an expansive perspective that re-routes us in our lives so that our spiritual paths are more clearly defined. A renewed sense of clarity and possibility then fuels us with the necessary energy to yield to the changes that materialize in the world of form in order to ensure that we are walking our Soul’s chosen course. When perceiving through the heart, fear of the unknown is assuaged by a peek into the higher awareness of Soul’s eagle-eyed vision of the landscape ahead in the human realm, where time and space preside.
The senses provided to us by the human body and this beautiful planet on which we reside are stimulated through our acceptance of and focus in dualistic reality. In opening to the unified whole while being firmly grounded in form, what appears to the human eyes via the reasoning mind as miraculous and rare is perceived via the heart as available and readily attained. Observing the content of our thoughts informs us as to our beliefs and, therefore, the focus of our attention. Though currently confined by form and the laws of physical reality, expanding our awareness to include the simultaneous existence of our physical and light bodies not only inspires us beyond the limiting thoughts and beliefs that hinder our potentialities, but also accesses our power to play with time and space, drawing to us the energies that manifest what are perceived as miracles by the eyes of humans as seen through the reasoning mind. As the heart is expanded by an awareness of the light bodies that are ours (and equally as real as our physical forms), the perceived limits of time and space operate in harmony with our Souls’ intentions to manifest those dreams that exist outside of space and time.
Dare to dream while holding hands with Father Time, all the while embracing this space (place) we occupy as our home! Stillness (as well as serenity), which allows our human forms to merge with the light bodies of our expanded selves, is not only a vehicle for change. It is that which opens the door to possibility through which miracles pass. Be still and know I Am.
