Our Essential Nature.

Our Essential Nature is the very essence of our being. When we let go of our conditioned ideas and thoughts about what we think is happening and who we think we are we can allow ourselves to come into more clear contact with our Essential Nature. Our Essential Nature can be traced back to the Source of all creation. You may think of the ‘Big Bang’ - the theory that some scientists hold as the ‘beginning’ moment of our Universe. Spiritual wisdom traditions have various ways of knowing and understanding the Source of creation that both align with and deviate from scientific materialist theories such as the ‘Big Bang’. Most views - both scientific and spiritual - hold the notion of one single original Source of all creation.

The same Source that created this Universe has created our Earth which, through evolution, has created our human species - you and I. The energy arising from this Source is infinitely intelligent and creative - more so than we can comprehend with our extraordinarily intelligent thinking minds. We are made of this energy - some has condensed into the physical material of our body and some remains formless including the electromagnetic activity of our heart and mind and the more subtle energy bodies of our being.

When we are able to develop a conscious connection with our Essential Nature we can live guided by this intelligence. One key principle in allowing ourselves to be guided by our Essential Nature is to use our intellectual mind not as a master but rather in service to our Intuitive Heart which is an energy center in our being that interfaces fluidly with the deep and mysterious wisdom of this Earth and this Universe.
