The Receptive Mind

“Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John.” (Luke 1:13)

The above statement comes from the angel Gabriel as a promise to Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist. From a spiritual point of view, John the Baptist represents the illumined intellect, that stage of spiritual development that precedes complete illumination. The mind is receptive to spiritual ideas but these are conceptual only, not fully integrated into the buy au clomid consciousness. Most of us are currently at this stage. We accept that God as our Source and Creator is within our being, but in practice we often lose sight of this truth and fall back on our reliance of senses-based information.

Luke tells a story of Jesus by the lake of Gennesaret. There is a crowd of people pressing in on him and so he asks Simon Peter to take him a little ways out in his boat so Jesus can speak to the crowd. When he is finished he tells Peter to go out into the deep and cast his nets. Peter explains that they have fished all night with no luck but he does as Jesus directs. The result is that he catches so many fish it nearly sinks the boat.

The story illustrates the change that occurs when the mind is receptive to spiritual ideas. Peter was on the same lake where he had fished all night, but with no luck. Now, in the presence of Jesus (spiritual consciousness) he goes through the same motions but this time he fills his net. He is fishing in the daylight of illumination.

You may feel like you are fishing on a lake that has no fish and needs restocking. Everything about your life, you are sure, needs to change. However, your lake (life) is well stocked. You don’t have to learn new things to prosper. Open your mind (cast your net) to the truth that you are already one with your infinite Source of good. It is your receptivity to Spirit combined with your actions that determine the blessings that flow into and through your life. Raise your expectations for greater good and goedkope kamagra online fill your net with blessings.
