Chapter One
Know Who You Are to Manifest Your Best You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are! —Eckhart Tolle
We are DIVINE! Yes, Divine creatures who can create, manifest, form something from nothing! Jesus is a prime example. He turned water into wine at a wedding feast, created an abundance of food for hungry crowds, manifested 153 fish in a net for his disciples to illustrate the power of belief. In addition, Jesus brought Lazarus back to life after many days in the sepulcher. He gave sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, made the lame to walk, and taught that love is the most important key to opening the door—the door that will open if we will only take the initiative to knock.
We are all sons and daughters of DIVINITY! And we create with the same inner Spirit of the DIVINE. In Luke 17:21 (KJV) Jesus told the Pharisees that they should not look with their eyes for the kingdom of heaven.
Another example of a holy and wise man is Buddha. He said, "The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart." The message, of course, is to look within yourself. Many throughout history have shown us personal Divinity in action, otherwise known as: manifestation, creation, and miracles.
It is written that Buddha instantly tamed an elephant that was about to trample a child. He made tainted water pure, and manifested a bridge in the sky, walking on it for a week! Buddha's list of miracles is long and incredible. Take the time to read about Buddha's and others' miracles of manifestation to help give you a sense of your own Divinity.
The Path
Great philosophers, writers and gurus through the ages have shown us various paths to fulfillment. The first stepping stone on that path is understanding that we are Divine beings—we ARE that path. The life stories of these movers and shakers inspire us because they demonstrate that human transformation IS possible. They reveal to us that we can live on a more compassionate level, not only with others, but also with ourselves.
The great William James believed that personal transformation is what really mattered. The belief in the unseen could, he believed, save one from the pitfalls of life and instill independence and purpose—the ability to rise above circumstances and become great. James himself suffered from depression and used faith to anchor himself.
Mohandas Ghandi wrote in his autobiography that he fought temptations of the flesh and had failed on occasion when he was young. He went on to lead a moral life and by doing so found that he had much more personal power that benefited not only his family, but also others who were within his range of influence. Gandhi led a lifelong search for truth and arrived at his own conclusions about Divinity.
St. Augustine lived a scandalous existence before he began searching for answers about the purpose of life. He found his path to fulfillment and became a father of the Catholic Church.
The well known story of St. Francis of Assisi shares the conversion experience of a son who could no longer exist in his parents' prosperous surroundings knowing that others were without homes and food to eat. Following his conversion, he ministered to the poor and shared Christ's message of love.
There are thousands of written examples of personal transformation. One could write many volumes solely on that subject. The root of these transformations was the knowledge that inside of each man is something more which is unseen by the naked eye—a seed of Divinity. We are each created to be great—to express Divinity in our own way.
Transcendence
Ralph Waldo Emerson grew up in a religious household. It was expected of him to become a minister and spend his life preaching the Gospel in Concord, Massachusetts. However, Emerson could not cope with the fact that his mouth was delivering messages which he, himself, did not believe. He dared to step out of his religious frocks long enough to think about what his purpose was and why.
Emerson initiated the Transcendentalist movement in the 19th century. With a strong emphasis on the individual and the Divinity of man, Emerson's philosophy spread throughout New England and included followers such as: Henry David Thoreau, Bronson Alcott and his daughter Louisa May, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Margaret Fuller and more. Some may question whether they were all dyed-in-the-wool Transcendentalists, but the fact remains that they were all deeply influenced by the movement. Emerson's philosophy extended to Europe where Fredrich Nietzsche, George Eliot and others embraced his views. Today, Emerson's initiative to explore who he was—to find his individual path to fulfillment—continues to enrich our daily lives.
Whether we agree with a person's transformation or methods thereof, they are, nonetheless, valid for that individual. The important thing to remember for each is that they knew they had a purpose—a reason for making their lives excellent. They knew that inside their suit of skin was a Divine being! Each chose to express that Divinity—share it with the world.
There are many paths—many ways of thinking, experiencing, worshiping and living. It matters not your locale, culture or religion. YOU are the path. Go inward and discover the seed that was planted in your DNA. It is wise to learn how others found their paths, but always make it a priority to find and walk your own path. Then get out there and share what you have learned with others so that they can forge their own paths!
