DaVinci Code De-Coded
The search for the Holy Grail is like so many other things. We come to realize that what we are searching for is right here all the time. We don't need to go somewhere else to discover it. We are carrying it within. So the real question is: how can we "RECOVER" it? How can we begin our own quest for our own innate grailness … our interior Christ nature. The recognition of our Christ self is the secret to the unfoldment of our divinity?
3 Quick Suggestions:
1. Be on the lookout for surprises! Many people live in a rut of daily routines. They lose sight of the surprise of living One of our favorite questions to ask congregants is "What will it take to make you say "WOW?"
Exercise: Make an "O" with your mouth. Now, make "W's" with three fingers on each hand, and hold them next to each corner of your mouth. WOW! Be on the lookout for the wow's in your life!
- In 1963, baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry remarked, "They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." On July 20, 1969, a few hours after Neil Arm-strong set foot on the moon, Gaylord Perry hit his first, and only, home run.
- Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest.
- The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.
2. Be on the lookout for serendipity. Carl Jung called it synchronicity: the coming together of inner and outer events in a way that cannot be explained by cause and effect and that is meaningful to the observer. It is that happenstance, that "accident" that turns out to be fortuitous. It could be called "a moment of grace."
Scotchguard was created by a 3M scientist. Scotchguard is a substance that helps prevent dirt from staining fabric. The 3M scientist was trying to make a synthetic rubber to be used in airplane fuel lines. By "accident" some of the new substance spilled on her assistant's canvas shoe, and they couldn't get it off. As the tennis shoe grew older, it got dingy–everywhere except where the substance had spilled. Three years later, after some trial and error, they invented Scotchgard. Serendipity occurs more often when you expect the unexpected to happen … the more you experience it, the more you experience it!
3. Be on the lookout for Spiritual Sensations … moments when you feel the presence of God … when you know that you know that you know you are plugged in and connected. It could be when you are meditating; in church; out in nature; playing with a child; etc.
Just for kicks, we googled the word "Spirituality" and in 14 hundreths of a second, it brought up 101 million hits! It's a hot topic, and people are definitely on a quest to discover it. Go on your own personal inner journey … your own quest. Affirm your true identity: Your I- amness with God. Search for the divinity within you. All the answers are within when you become aware of your own divinity.
So, be on the lookout for surprises … for serendipity … and for spiritual sensations … and you will discover what has been within you from the moment you were born: the divine spark of God … your grailness … your Christ nature which is the truth of you.
We have the key to unlock the DaVinci Code! Let's raise our chalices together, and toast the joining of the two halves of our consciousness. Let's toast our shared divinity … honor our grailness … celebrate our spirituality! Let's claim our oneness with God, and discover what a transforming difference it will make in our lives!
