OCTOBER 2018: Building the Temple

There is but one temple in the universe, and that is the body of man. ~ Novalis

The notion that the human body is a temple is certainly not a new idea. But what does this truly mean? At first blush it appears to be a religious statement, as many become exposed to this teaching through Bible scripture or through eastern traditions such as, Yoga. To some it seems to be a reminder to eat better, exercise and take better care of the physical needs of the body. But, this great truth is not simply referring to the flesh of the body, nor only the spirit. Truly it is calling us to acknowledge our whole being. For wholeness is holiness. We might say that the recognition of wholeness is the blueprint for the building of the temple.

The quest for wholeness brings the impetus and the urge for us to get to know all the aspects of the Self, which include body, mind, heart, soul and spirit, as well as community and environment. More and more people are coming to understand that what we can interpret with our physical senses and our conscious intelligence is not the only intelligence and energies at work in the universe. But as we fast lose our death grip on this 3D reality, we need to continue to develop our intuitive abilities and our spiritual senses to better interpret the energies around and within us. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to get very clear emotionally, so that we can interpret our experiences with purity and not through the darkened lens of a fear of  the unseen, unknown or unusual.

If we do not allow ourselves to learn how to read energy in a non-judgmental way we will find ourselves lost in a world of fear, superstition and misinformation. We do not want to burn the witch within. For certainly within each of us there is a master magician and physician, who will benefit greatly by understanding how to better work with and manage energy.

Not additionally, but perhaps more importantly it is important to develop our intuition so that we can connect with our soul and our body. Psychism isn't just for foretelling the future... the depth of second listening and second sight can reveal spiritual messages and clues, and subtle cues from the body that can make all the difference in healing, creativity and empowerment.

During the month of October we will be increasing our understanding of energy. We will be raising and resetting our vibration, discovering areas that need vibrational re-attunements, learning about how to read and shift the energies surrounding people, places and things, including ourselves and opening to new levels of manifestation. Everything is energy and as such, we invoke the power of change right from within.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Corinthians 3:16

The full understanding of the body as a temple is to realize that the true temple is the body of humanity as a whole. It is in this way that we are all temple builders. As we see our own individual bodies as a temple, we begin to vibrate accordingly and are moved into proximity of other people, places and things that are ready to be a part of the Holy Temple of Humanity. It is true that this process starts with each of us individually, and is carried forward by our understanding that we are all a sovereign part of something greater than any one of us alone. The soul awaits our humanity to reunify in God Consciousness, the knowledge of the Collective Soul.
