Water As Spiritual Teacher By Sheree Rainbolt-Kren © 2006
Water attaches to nothing. Water has no
idol to worship. Water has no personal desire and no money to purchase what desire craves. Water has no mirror to
adore itself and no interest in winning or losing. Water knows no score and prize.
Water flows over and through
all things without worry it will become unlike itself. Water is without deliberate intention. Water is liquid, taken
form, to show us how to live. We often see only the vessel, and not what is within: this liquid Love. Water is without
judgment and resistance. Therefore, Water is the perfect Teacher for the physical realm, where judgment and resistance
keeps us from going with the flow.
Water has only one function: to Be only what it Is without resistance.
Not to cleanse, for Water does not judge anything in need of cleansing. Water has no Master to teach it more than
what is already perfect allowing. Water has no Certificate Of Achievement, so as to advance to bigger and better.
Water willingly fits all containers. It has no preferences for red, white and blue, or green, or deeper aqua.
Water is blind. It is only because Water is perfectly willing to be what it Is, that it could change form without
judgment and resistance. Water waits unconsciously for your next thought. Good or bad. There is no covenant to keep
Water from hurting itself.
Water makes sound only when meeting matter. Water makes taste and smell only when
meeting matter. Water makes sight only when meeting matter. Water makes texture only when meeting matter. It is matter
defining water for matter.
Water never dams because it senses danger, or a need to dam. It dams when physical
matter has an idea. Water does not get angry at ideas. It obeys, for it is water.
Water has no concern with what
you will make of it. It simply obeys the thought that molds it, for it is Water and willingly allows for all ideas.
It does so without fear that your idea will make it unsavory or unsafe. It does so without guilt that it appears in
a form unpleasing to some. It does so without anger that its living properties are polluted. Water is always what
matter wants it to be. Water does not report you to the authorities for hurting it, for Water knows what it Is.
Water
is without consciousness, as we define it. But Water is not Water by accident. Water is given to be a teaching tool
for those tired of physical measure. When the rich bathe, water envelops the bather. When the poor bathe, water envelops
the bather. When the white bathe, the black bathe, the gay bathe and the straight bathe, water does not discern and
then cause waves to move people away. Force causes waves. Consciousness is Force. Yet, water is obedient and is built
to go with the flow.
Water does not praise or chastise. Water is the Supreme teacher showing us what love looks
and feels like. Water is not the forgiver. Water sees no error to forgive. Water sees no this and that, then decides
for one or the other.
Water will find itself in a crevice and naturally fill it without seeing it in need of filling.
Water will find itself at the edge of a mountain top and naturally spill over it, without seeing it in need of spilling.
Water rushes and winds, and water will sometimes be still, without concern that it is still too long. Water is without
agenda and expectation.
Water knows not time, nor space. Water has no map to dictate its direction and boundary.
Water has no conference table to allot itself in bottles for him and her. These are human yearnings. Water would not
be water if it were to pound a self righteous fist, or justify its allotment based on the Principles of Deliberate
Creation. Water does not anger at the refreshed, nor does Water cry for the thirsty. Water is not afraid of drought,
or flood. Water has no preference for anything more than what Is. What it IS is perfect.
If water were to identify
with left or right of Center, Water could not teach us peace. Only those strongly attached to solid matter will resent
Water's true purpose. Water obeys, even if it appears that Water devastates. Water absorbs energy we gift it, and
acts accordingly as a mirror of our creations. Force is the cause of motion. Force, at its root, is consciousness.
Water responds to consciousness. This is meant to be good news. Or not.
Water follows the natural and the unnatural
landscape, for it knows not how to resist that which IS. Water fills man made lakes and natural rivers without concern
that it invests wrongly, or rightly. Water embraces the rock and the sand alike.
Water cannot be grasped with
hands or feet. Water is stored when a handful of water is insufficient. Water naturally flows through loose fingers,
but will not object to a shelf full of security, if that is your wish.
How can we become like Water? By remembering
what we are. Water will teach us, if we release our human drama and learn. Our only tasks here are, first, to know
obstacle, second, to know peace. Water will teach us both. It won't be easy.
What if the truth of this human
experience has everything to do with clear liquid motion, without resistance, or fear? Like Water. Water is unconditional
Love, in form. The largest form on planet earth.
If you could pick the substance of your experience, what could
be better than the very essence of free will? The license to flow north, south, east and west, with no one managing
your choices, your journey or outcome.
If water shape shifts, or morphs, it is because water is a gift of true
love. You are allowed to have your way with it. But, by the same token, your way will be your way. The rivers, lakes,
streams and oceans are learning from us right now. This liquid canvass is always ready and willing to be nothing more,
and nothing less than our broadcast desire. It is good.
The purpose in coming here is to Know Thyself. Experience
Thyself. Perhaps we were meant to simply pass through, like a flowing river without the taxing investment in landscape
and form.
We were not truly created to judge, change, improve and fix, but to observe and flow, with grace
and ease, with what IS. That is because What Is already IS. There is nothing to add to What already IS. There is only
unknowingness begging experience on one level or another. Master one level, and new substance will emerge to guide
you.
Can you imagine a greater power than to realize such Self Knowing that nothing taking place can keep you
from being what you are? What trust and faith is needed where there is no fear?
A brilliant scientist, Fred
Alan Wolfe, Author of Taking The Quantum Leap, and featured speaker on What The Bleep Do We Know, says this: "The
Observer does not disturb. He merely accepts what Is." If there were ever a perfect definition of Water, this would
be it. If there were ever a perfect definition of God, this would be it.
Humans define consciousness from the
human perspective. Water is conscious, but we cannot define it. We have yet to even conceive of its true purpose.
Love is patient.
Water does not determine what is real and what is not, and then makes plans based on pie charts.
Water is not led to distraction, for water Is; and what Is, has no doubt. What Is - is so sure of itself, that it
literally loses itself in the All. The Center dissolves from definition and infinity is born from Knowledge. From
Knowledge comes Recognition, comes Allowance, comes Love.
Become aware now. Look and feel around you. Soak in
liquid Love and witness to the movement of a warm bath that embraces every bit of the external you. Let this be of
interest to you. Then, when you come to understand how water truly lives outside your mind, you will be ready to experience
how love waits for you inside your mind. What matters most is that you recognize the truth when it envelops you.
It
is not what water does that teaches. It is what water IS that makes Water a Teacher.

"Those who seek to conquer other nations by force will only bring further violence." (or words to that effect) -
rather prophetic words from John F Kennedy
"Intro": As I ponder the seemingly insoluble solution to endemic violence
and stop the scourge of terrorism in today's world, the questions for me are endless. Number one: Is there ANY solution
to extremism for any cause - fanatic people, who are prepared to afflict the most inhumane cruelty imaginable for a desired
end (religious* or political), the nature of "pure evil", etc.
* "God has no religion" - Mahatma Gandhi
What
can be done with the "quagmire" of Iraq, (like Vietnam!), Iran, Congo?
What can we "ordinary" people do about it?
* Just
sharing some initial thoughts and my past writings on world peace (dream on, "far-out, idealistic",* Craig!) in an ever-more
chaotic and violent world ... and if there are any possible solutions. YES, I believe, the ONLY way the CYCLE of terrorism
and violence can one day perhaps be ended...as I contemplate this complex matter in my own mind.
* at least, that is
what dear Marie calls me!
PEACE
"Peace is, by all agreement, what everybody wants, at this moment. But
violence - the weakest power Still rules the world to each small corner. Don't sit around - Go out and do! The
world wants peace, For me and you."
by South African, James Van Minnen
"I watched it creep over the mountains,
its warmth spreading, its light growing stronger each minute. Soon it will be up and another day will dawn on South
Africa. This day will be no ordinary day, for it will be the day of peace. Tranquility had won another war for mankind,
utterly destroying pain and violence. For this is the day we have been waiting for. This day bringing new hope for all.
The day stretches on and finally it has to end. The sun will sink back behind the mountains bringing another day." -
anon
and so peace came to South Africa out of a troubled, divided and bloody past...
so why not the WORLD?

"When you can see no light at the end of the tunnel, light your own candle and let your light illuminate
the world, like the radiance from a window at midnight."
"Let the light of your BEING shine brightly; so revealing
Who You Really Are, your "Authentic Self". Be a Bringer of the Light, which emanates from our soul, God, our Creator, the
Source (and Ground of our very Being). Therefore, it can do more than illuminate your own path.YOUR spirit will help makes
the lives of others easier by illuminating others paths. For this light is our humanity, the spirit of God, truth, beauty
and especially love...and this "spark of God" lies within each one of us.
Through your actions and your being, let
your light, YOUR spirit truly shine brightly on the world, like the radiance emitted by a candle at midnight." - Craig
Lock
"Let us build bridges rather than barriers, openness rather than walls. Let us look at distant horizons together
in a spirit of acceptance, helpfulness, co-operation and peace." - Craig Lock
"Become the person you are CAPABLE
of being ... and ALL the person God, Our Creator intended us to become." - Craig Lock
"Lord, make me an instrument
of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where
there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light... and where there is sadness, joy. I shall pass through this
world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do
it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." - anon
"Love is the only
force that can erase the difference between people or bridge the chasms of bitterness. In a changing world, it is a constant.
It is the security of the home. It is a beacon of hope in a world of distress." * - Wayne R. Bills, MA
Love WITH
STRENGTH and resolve is a power in us more powerful than bullets. It then has Unlimited Power.
"I believe that unarmed
truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than
evil triumphant." - Martin Luther King, Jr
"Through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder.
Through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you
can't murder hate. Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that...
Difficult and painful as it is, we
must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future. When our days become dreary with low-hovering
clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative
force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out
of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long,
but it bends toward justice." - Dr Martin Luther King Jr
"I believe often we greatly underestimate our potential
and resources. We have it all within to do anything; but when we feel weak and don't think we have anything left to give,
then all we need to do is ask in prayer. You will receive wisdom , strength, imagination and creativity you never knew you
possessed from without, from a Higher Power, your Creator...
and then nothing is impossible to you and God."
The
task ahead of you can always be overcome by the power within you...and the often seemingly difficult or even "impassible")
path ahead of you is never as steep with the great spirit that lies within you. - Craig Lock
"There is no
easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again
before we reach the mountaintop of our desires." - Nelson Mandela
"But what can a 'mere I' do, God?
..and
the good Lord replied...
"I made you!"
So...
"To build a better world... just build a better YOU."
Craig

P.S: LOVE is the greatest and most powerful force in the world; so shine your own unique bright light on an often
darkened world ...in a spirit of living at the highest level of humanity.
"When the world is filled with love, people's
hearts are overflowing with hope." - craig
"Blessed are the peace-makers... because they'll accumulate plenty

Uplifting, encouraging and empowering people through the power of words and thought energy.
