Sacred Tools

Posted by: edb In: Mrs. Overall's Things

Sacred tools are important, wonderful, helpful helpers and assistants but tools are simply that.

Tools for the use of.

For the highest good of.

They should never become of such a strong focus that the original intent/focus is diminished. It is possible for us to sometimes be unaware that our focus on the tool is so intense, that this ‘over-focus’ in itself diminishes the higher focus of intent.

Like ritual, tools are a great help, but we must guard against ‘getting lost’ in tools or rituals; tools should never take ‘centre-stage’.

Perhaps the most sacred of tools are the ones that are inherent within us; the heart and the mind. When heart and mind work synergistically and sincerely, harmoniously and holistically, with wholeness and holiness, our system becomes aware of its connection to the ‘entire environment’ – the universe.

It is a profound – the most profound – connection, superceding and surpassing all other connections. This recognition of the high vibrational energy of pure love, also gives rise to the knowledge that each one of us is love in every situation.

Love is the purest, deepest, kindest supreme emotion. This Divine Love, Love Unconditional never judges us, just enfolds us, ‘holds us’ for eternity.

The joy of this realisation, the awareness of this concept is the highest blessing we can receive.

The Ultimate Blessing, the blessing of blessings, the Blessing of the Divine.

All sacred tools need to be respected and used with this heart/mind loving connection; to enable us to use our sacred tools to the best of their potential power.

Intent with love is paramount!

about the brolly thing

The White Parasol is our (see "about little me and mrs. overall) umbrella where reflections on the confluence of religious,spiritual and modern, everyday life - with all its conflicting issues - can be looked at without and with prejudices. A practical emphasis to provide another way of looking at the bigger picture, in the midst of the ordinary material life, but without theological restriction (which doesn't mean that it is to be disregarded either). The parasol is to protect us from the heat that the issues generate theologically and politically. To propose and discuss,listen to and open up to, other perspectives without fear of getting burnt, in the hope of moving onwards. A belief is not necessarily a reality or a truth, but a programming. The overriding approach: "Faith is about searching for the truth without fear, so it doesn't matter if we lose all of our beliefs.." (from a compilation of ancient wisdoms spanning all religions in Anthony De Mello's "Song of the Bird). But can we question,without fear,issues which shape families, towns, nations and what wars are made of? Well if all the political diplomacy we have had since time immemorial can deliver only a war-torn earth, even in contemporary and "more enlightened" times two thousand years after Christ came to bring peace, perhaps we should dare to.
