The Size Of Your Cup:
Yesterday I heard an analogy used to explain how a person receives the Grace of the Beloved.
A waterfall was the divine flow, a cup was your consciousness, (identity of self in relationship to God or one can say ego).
The size of the cup you have reveals the measure of your consciousness, where others have bigger cups and maybe even have pails and also smaller cups?
Now take your cup and place it in the waterfall and fill it up with the Beloved flow of water and that is the measure of your abundance?
Now the idea is to always expand your consciousness which means replace the cup with a bigger cup so you can get a larger supply of the Beloved’s flow as a way to be in more flow?
Sounds good doesn’t it? It is a good description of the human mindset that hungers for what it cannot conceive of as its own True Nature.
Yet as the speaker spoke of replacing the cup with larger vessels, the congregation swooned at the possibilities of more to get.
Where the dreamers would grab a vat and the pessimists would be stuck with the same old cup.
In this, one can understand why the human experience can be so challenging, for I saw no one even considering throwing the cup away.
For they and the flow were never separate to begin with. Thus is the futility to catch whatever you can in a cup.
Such is the tricky silliness of the human mindset that must be in control of its own measure and ownership that only hinders its natural ways.
It gives a meaning of what a blockage is; A self-imposed rigid mindset, always trying to grab a bigger cup that never even contemplates that its cup is the very thing that has kept itself separate from the infinite Oneness of its own Natural ways.
If one wants to be in flow, why not toss the cup and step into the flow and allow it to bathe away any yearning of thirst and muddied up thoughts of separation?
As I took all this in, I could not help but think of the struggle one can impose on themselves and the history of how deaf they can become when they are questioned.
Yet such is the chosen perceived ways of the world that even though they must sip from cups, they are always the flow drinking from its Self.
Such are the fearful ways of self-doubt that will keep itself safe from perceived failures, to chase after only silver even though they will always get gold.
A song they sung as part of the theme called, “chasing silver when you know you will get gold”.
So they choose to drink only from a cup, for they unworthily fear the very essence of gold/flow they are.
I have stated this in the past to them, but they have chosen to take issue when it seems one is questioning their beliefs.
Such are the fragile mindsets that expect to get everything without ever seeing beyond their own seeming.
This is an irony of the mental approach of self-discovery, where being right is more important than listening to the singing about the infinitude of their Nature that is a never ending supply of more to reveal.
One of our divine experiences of expressing always in fresh and new ways, which by the way is our natural infinite creative abundance.
We should always strive to break free from the boundaries of a cup, for it will always have you chasing silver even though you are always gold.
Then you can see the infinite abundance that the Divine knows itself as the diversity of all that we experience in our lives.
For this diversity never separated us, it reveals our infinite abundance and not as differences such as levels of consciousness.
Thank You!
