#Transcendent Reality is a way of life.excerpted from a speech given at Houston Community College by S. Barry Hamdani.
Count your blessings and watch them grow.
If you really understood the power God has given you-if you could see God's glory within yourself -you would #fear nothing!
One: If you humbly understand your limitations - the things you cannot do - you will become empowered to do more...to become more. Humility creates focus. Who we think we are, unfortunately, is an illusion. We are much more than we can comprehend. We were created in a perfect way. Who we think we are is a form of immaturity. Who we think we are cannot possibly correspond with truth because we are not yet complete. One reality is truth the other is...
The window in which we consider truth and untruth is focus at all dimensions. This concept is expressed in detail in the book, Transcendent Reality.
Two: If we are to grow in wisdom and understanding we must allow who we think we are to shrink: the truth and a lie cannot co-exist because the light within you is greater than the darkness that sometimes clouds the outskirts of our lives. Who we think we are is a view through a window outside of self. It is a comparison to something or someone. It is a judgment of events that we have made personal, events that we have made more meaningful.
Who we really are is too great to know but is discovered, bit-by-bit as we seek to know; therefore, the presence of darkness is not necessarily a punishment; it exist to stir that which is inside us, causing us to elevate to a greater dimension. It, darkness, causes us to act, to make decisions: to create. It is our awareness of darkness coupled with our relationship with light that highlights the integrity of our beliefs through actions and words. We are honored at higher dimensions when we are consistent. This is the stuff power is made of. It is a handshake with God.
Three: Agree with God about what you see and what you do not see.
There are intersections in the roads of life that must and will challenge the content of our beliefs. This action exemplifies the integrity of the handshake. It acts as a spiritual guard that stands at the door to enlightenment. Everything in the universe is listening to your self-talk.The quality of the remainder of life will be therefore governed by that response; it will also determine who one really is. It will speak to the area of your focus. "As man speaketh..."
"To he who hath much is given but to he who hath not even that which he hath is taken away."
I think this is the greatest statement of #higher consciousness and the most profound expression of wisdom ever spoken by a living being in the body as we know it.
Why did Jesus say that? He who hath what?
In the book, you will come to understand why during the making of the world, God never considered darkness. We will describe, in detail, much of creation that is before your very own eyes. Oh, how we think we understand this concept, yet we shake in our boots at the presence of a potential reality which is opposite of what we want. Oh, how easily we succumb to fear when many things go wrong, at once. We wonder what happened to God...
God may be laughing.
God created the road, permitted the intersection and gave you and me the power to not only face fear but to continue to act on what we believe as we ignore its presence. The first punch to the face of fear is disrespect: ignore it. Ignore it while you are secretly analyzing it and questioning why you fear but whatever you do, don't speak it. To speak is to create. When God first spoke, the world took off and began forming.
Four: Remember whose image you are made in.
Fear cannot walk unless you give it legs. It cannot speak unless you give it a voice. It cannot remind you of anything unless you give it memory. It is you, not fear, that is created in the image of God; therefore it is you who create fear. Speech and memory is part of creation, so is the ability to walk. I guarantee that if you watch what you say, daily, you will grow in this knowledge and fear will no longer comfortably walk with you, talk with you or bring falsehoods (dark, incorrect perspectives of truths) to memory. Your life will have changed.
Again, a lie and truth cannot co-exist: you have to make a decision about what you believe, no matter who you are. Even acts of evil require belief...in evil. Universal laws have been established from the beginning of creation, designed to correspond to every action and every belief according to behavior - the manifestation of belief. Those laws are cast in stone.
When you read my upcoming book, Transcendent Reality, you will understand that I believe that I was made in the image of God, in God's likeness and in God's kind (or God's love). I am not the content of my mistakes and error. Those are events. The greatest event is creation. Number five: consider creation, always.
By #believing in something we invite the manifested presence of the opposite of that belief. We create this other (potential) reality simply by believing. The wonder is that this other reality (the unwanted opposite) cannot manifest a real presence without our energy and spoken word. In other words, it cannot live unless you believe in it. It is a balloon without air. Before you allow that statement to bother you, consider that all of creation is done in this manner. The earth was dark when God spoke to light. No wise person invest energy to constantly rebuke darkness when they can use the same energy to command light. Adopt God's attitude toward darkness and succeed.The objective presence of an opposite reality exist to test and strengthen us: to see what we are made of. It is NEVER anything to be afraid of. What you are experiencing is #CHANGE. How you view change is dependent upon your beliefs. Talk to yourself about what you believe in the face of opposition. The little you (the person who you think you are) will worry about what people think about hearing you talk to yourself sometimes but the real you will have already spoken from the heart. The real you will have created something.
What you really believe consumes the very content of your heart.
Change is natural but through the perspective of darkness, change is called an impending disaster; Fear, what an illusion.There is nothing pending but a decision: yours. What do you believe about what is or is not happening in your life? Listen: what are you saying to yourself? Know this: the entire universe is listening, empowered to bring those words to reality. (As man speaketh...)
You do not know that you CAN until you are at the point where you realize you cannot. In the book, I describe this moment as an awakening because humility is the engine that stirs the heart of God and exacts upon the universe a great demand that you come to know truth and understanding and prosperity. So, count your blessings and watch them grow.
Look forward to your copy of Transcendent Reality...coming soon.
