What are You Creating Today?

I think this is the most important question to ask myself every day, if not every minute.

Today I have created April showers on a bank holiday, a perfect day for exploring all that the river Jordan has to offer in insight whilst sipping lemon and ginger tea :-) It has also given rise to quite a bit of reflection on the implications of yesterday's a-ha moment and the fact that I hadn't read or heard anything new to have that realisation. I knew all this intellectually but without a spiritual experience to shine the light of truth on the matter it remained, for me, a little nebulous around the edges.

A passage in Charles Fillmore's Metaphysical Bible Dictionary has a passage about Abanah that explains this:

Abanah (A. V., Abana), ab'-a-nah (Heb.)--permanent; enduring; perennial; a rock, a stone; stony.

A river in Syria (II Kings 5:12). This river flows through Damascus, which is one of the oldest known cities of the world.

Metaphysical. The name symbolizes something constantly renewing, therefore permanent and enduring. From its setting, however, the river Abanah signifies intellectual thoughts and reasonings about life. A river represents a current of thought. The thoughts of the intellectual domain (Syria) apart from the real life current in the organism (the Jordan symbolizes this current in the instance of the healing of Naaman the Syrian, who thought that he could just as well wash in the rivers Abanah and Pharpar of Syria as in the Jordan) and apart from the loving, spiritual power of the I AM (Elisha) have no healing potency. Intellectual thoughts become permanent only when the intellect is quickened by Spirit and becomes transmuted into spiritual consciousness.

This is one of the things I love about studying the true meaning of the stories in the bible, as I follow a particular path of inquiry answers to other questions present themselves.

But back to my initial question, "What are you creating today?"

If you are not consciously creating something you would like, then you either have just an intellectual understanding or you've slipped back into your amnesia. It's the same thing if you are arguing internally with a perceived enemy.  The solution to this is to (re)start creating consciously and to meditate regularly on the following: "There is nothing but God".

And so, what are you creating today?
