Healing, Growth and Empowerment*

A Five-Level Perspective

The higher we float or sit above any forest, the more we see,

and the more clearly we perceive it. For example:

When we sit in a spiritual, or light-filled, space above our human forest,

we see everything through the eyes of light and love, and

we experience ourselves as spiritual beings encompassing a human experience

rather than the reverse.

When we rise a bit higher and sit in the simple space of ‘being,’

we are privy to an even purer view.

We see the simple essence of our spiritual and human nature,

without need for interpretation or story.

Here, we’ just are,’ and everything “just is.”

Even our humanness ‘just is.’

When we are elevated even higher over this essence/light/human view,

where we now occupy the possibility-filled quantum space,

we see all these earlier worlds as expressions of infinite potential,

only appearing as real to those looking only through human eyes.

We realize the illusory and storied nature of every aspect of our creation,

and can embrace everything as a quantum possibility, playing itself out as real.

Finally, when we are lifted way, way, way up, beyond the forest’s influence,

we arrive at the point of infinite nothing-ness, the quantum void.

Here, we see absolute emptiness

dreaming not just its nothingness but equally its everything-ness

and, frankly, quite enjoying and celebrating the show.

From here, as a quantum being,

we simply enjoy the view, the dream, the movie, the adventure

(with or without butter on our popcorn).

Let’s look at our human/spiritual projects and practices in the same way.

What projects? you’re wondering.

Those, for example, that express our pursuits of personal growth,

our healing of earlier wounds, our moving beyond perceived limitations,

our efforts to achieve our full potential, our attempts to “be all that we can be,”

whatever forms these projects may take.

Let’s take a look:

Our human approaches to healing or transforming our issues and pains,

and/or establishing ourselves in a bigger state of freedom

are often characterized by taking charge, performing some practice,

actively transforming it with some version of personal power.

For example, we ‘overcome’ our limitations, we ‘fight’ our cancers,

we ‘win the war’ over drugs, we ‘command’ our issues away.

In short, we become a take-charge fighter. We do something.

This is our human approach, that of our “conscious mind.”

Our spiritual approaches to healing and freedom look quite different.

As spiritual beings, we love our pains, issues and cancers,

whether they appear as physical, mental emotional or existential.

We heal our human pains and limitations with the purest of divine light.

We embrace their unseen perfection, surround them with our soul’s light

and put our healing hearts—rather than our conscious minds—in charge.

This is our spiritual approach, that of our “super-conscious mind.”

Our essence approaches rely on an even purer perspective:

As we sit in this above-the-forest chair of simplicity,

peering at the forest through the eyes of pure essence or being,

we have no interpretation or judgment of our human issues at all.

In fact, we don’t even see them as issues, pains or problems.

They—and everything else about us—just are. Period.

Nothing else, no drama, no story. Nothing to heal.

We simply embrace what is.

And the job of healing is magically done—by not being done at all.

Pretty simple, huh?

This is our ‘essence’ approach, that of our “essential mind.”

Our quantum approaches to healing and transformation are all about potential.

Through quantum eyes, the eyes that live way, way, way above the forest,

we see that we as humans are, in truth, beings of pure quantum potential—

a potential being expressed in and through our seeming human personality and life.

This perception—that our very humanness is the experiential fabric to pure potential,’

that we, as humans, are ‘possibilities in action’—

allows us to embrace and unite with everything, including our seeming issues,

not as problems or limitations at all,

but simply as a tangible-feeling experience, a rich living out of what’s possible.

We are ‘possible beings’ experiencing this unique possibility humanly.

We’re ‘living the quantum dream’ in an apparent physical reality.

Thus, we feel no need for healing and transforming anything.

Our approach: only acceptance of and oneness with

this unique possibility that is living itself out as us.

This is our quantum approach, that of our “un-conscious mind,” or “quantum mind.”

Our quantum void approaches aren’t even approaches at all.

Why? Because we’re now sitting at the control panel of creation itself,

viewing all of creation, including its human version,

through the emptiness-filled eyes of the quantum void.

Here, we see ourselves, even our human selves, as this quantum nothingness,

a mighty emptiness that comes complete with an inherent power.

It’s the power to dream … to imagine/create anything

into a seeming existence and aliveness—our human dream, for example.

Here, we realize that we’re both dreaming and being dreamed,

and that, in this dream, there’s nothing that needs to be healed at all.

Rather, our seeming issues are a limitless possibility

being imagined in a dream of dualistic opposites—

power, for example, being imagined as powerlessness,

or love being dreamed of as unworthiness or guilt,

or even divinity being imaged as lack of divinity (humanness).

Once we realize our dreaming/dreamed nature,

we have a different relationship with the so-called issue

and have uncovered the underlying quantum power

that has been masking itself as a seeming problem all along.

This is the approach of the quantum void, that of our ‘ur-conscious mind.”

In summary, we’ve just witnessed five different approaches

to our perceived need for our human healing and transformation:

the “doing” human approach,

the “love and light” spiritual approach,

the “embrace of what is” essence approach,

the “acceptance and oneness” quantum approach, and

the “emptiness and dreaming” quantum void approach.

I leave you with your own thoughts, interpretations and conclusions,

because the above perspective undoubtedly speaks uniquely to each of us.

I would like to conclude, though, with one thought:

If you find your current approach to healing, empowering,

transforming and/or enlightening yourself not as effective as you would like

or experience your all-knowing soul urging you to try a new approach,

you might want to shift gears a bit,

perhaps pay a visit to other spaces above the forest

and embrace one or more of the above approaches—

whichever one(s) seem to call or appeal to you at that moment.

It could be that a unique seat in those upper echelons of consciousness,

one perhaps with just your name on it,

is awaiting you.

Thank you!

(P.S. Don’t forget the popcorn).
