Continued From Prior Post…

The elders who had been part of the original dispute cautiously entered the hall where the elders of the other neighborhood were gathered.  They explained their situation, and then waited anxiously as the council conferred.

To their amazement, the elders were sympathetic and compassionate. They volunteered their help and they offered to share their well.

Together, the neighborhoods came to meet this challenge. They worked together to build canals and irrigation. Each discovered admirable qualities in the other, and grew so close in their endeavors that they became inseparable.

In somewhat the same way as these two neighborhoods, we have become separated from our true Self, our Silent Master. We forget how and why we became so separated. In this story, this is symbolized by the well drying up. Sooner or later, however, some event usually turns us back to our Silent Master. Maybe it's some kind of illness or failure that makes us seek our Silent Master again, or maybe it's a natural desire to simply know our real Self. Whatever the reason, when we seek to find our real Self, we may be filled with doubt and guilt, and we might feel undeserving or afraid to turn within for healing. But if we do, our Silent Master greets us with healing and love, just as the elders of the opposing neighborhood, not with rejection. And just as the two groups prospered greatly when they worked together, you can prosper with renewed power and strength when you join forces with your Silent Master. As the Silent Master image at the start of this chapter indicates, the immaterial aspect of yourself, your spiritual being, is intimately involved in the life you create, because matter and spirit exist at the same time.

Your Silent Master Consciousness knows Itself to be immaterial in substance, but It also takes form (manifests) as your physical body and the material world around you. Thus, you may describe yourself as being both immaterial (spiritual) and material (physical) at the same time.

This is why your Silent Master consciousness is so accessible to you. The return to your Silent Master consciousness is a return to an aspect of yourself that exists within you right now - right where you are.
