Living with Your Life Shining

★When You Live with Your Life Shining

Are you living with your life shining?

Nothing is more of a waste than living with your life clouded over.

Within life, everything infinite is stored, so a person who lives with their life shining can live making use of all that infinite everything.

That’s why we say it’s a waste not to make use of life.

Clouding over your life and not using it is, as we may have said before, like having “a fortune of creative power” in your account at the bank of life, more than you could ever spend, yet forgetting the account exists, and only staring at thoughts of lack: “I don’t have that,” “This isn’t enough,” “I want that,” “Something’s missing.”

When you do that, it becomes hard to notice the flow of abundance.

While we’re on the subject, there’s an old idea of a “god of poverty,” but that doesn’t refer to someone other than you, some other god.

Rather than searching outside for the cause, turning your eyes to the abundance within you opens the way much more.

If you’re going to be a god anyway, don’t you think it would be good to become a god who creates abundance, like the Seven Gods of Good Fortune?

That’s no fairy tale; it’s something you can become in a very real way.

★Those Who Have Ascended

A way of living with your life shining means words and actions based on bright, pure, forward-looking thoughts rooted in divinity.

To put it from a different angle, you could say it’s a way of living that is love itself, light itself, truth itself.

Hidden within human life are qualities not the least bit different from those of the gods and buddhas.

A person who has dug those qualities out from deep within themselves is called someone who has ascended.

In other words, ascension means a state in which the essence of life has been polished and brought out.

It never means a change in outer conditions, so please don’t misunderstand that point.

Just as the sun sparkles when you look up at the sky, if you completely purify the clouds of your heart, the sun of life shines and lights up your surface consciousness and your physical body.

As you bathe in that sun of life, all your mental cells and physical cells return to light, and you can express your self of light, your true self, in your physical heart and body.

For that, deepen your everyday breathing.

And keep consciously sending out thoughts of light.

It’s good to do both at the same time.

Then your divinity will surely shine, and before long that shine will become the real thing.
