Elevated

Elevated. Risen. Blossomed. The light shined down. All terms we have heard and know well in our hearts and mind. We know the truth behind them. And when we think of these words we may come to think of a general higher state of being. As what is elevated is above. What has risen is now tall(er). The blossomed flower of the plant is what it is known for and certainly does not sit at the bottom of the plant. Logically the light may not shine down if it is not above.

We look at the water more refined in it's matter than dirt.  It sits elevated above the dirt. Try as we might, fling dirt into all we wish but if the water is more in substance than the dirt, the dirt will sink to the bottom and the water remains above it. If the water is heated and evaporated to even more of a refined matter, it turns to gas form. The elevated water now a gas rises above the Lower temperatured and less refined water. It becomes unseen to the eyes it becomes so refined as it rises to greater heights. It will remain at those heights, above the water, above the filth of dirt and cannot be lowered until it mixes with other elements and conditions in the sky to become water once more. At which time it may not hold it's position in the heavens any longer. It must return to the lower realms of Earth and take it's place amongst the other water and dirt.

If we think of this we may gain an understanding of Universal Law and how it works. We may know without doubt how to gain "higher ground" and Elevate ourselves. For the Law is all around us and what works for one of natures creation applies to all. What works for one individual will work for another if we place ourselves in the proper conditions.

Ask ourselves of this elevation and the conditions and environments we should seek.  The male wishing to have a wonderful evening and impress his hearts desire drives the female to the highest point and parks his car. The worries are gone, as is the stress and thoughts of all that entails both their lives when in the city below. They feel at ease, in love, elevated in a higher state, both mentally and physically. Physical in the sense of they are above everyone else below in the city. And as they stare out at the city below they talk and think of the beauty of it. The lights and buildings, thought and love that went into creating such a beautiful site. While up here there is no consciousness of anything less than. It is only on the drive back down. One can almost guarantee it changes with altitude. As the homes and people in them are of "higher" class on the hill. As they descend towards the bottom the beauty of the structure of homes and neighborhoods lessen. The people in them are of more or less average intelligence. Still a sense of safety and relaxation as passing through. But as the descent increases the neighborhoods become more unstable, less beautiful, and the minds that dwell in them are felt in different manner. Crime, disorganization, lack of love and care and even violence may be seen. The beautiful lights seen above are gone as half dead street lights flicker on and off. Many of the buildings seeming so beautiful before now look run down, ragged, some even vacant when looked on the lowest points they now sit. The beauty seen at elevated heights, with elevated thoughts, now seems to leave even the most developed minds once they lower themselves into the underbelly of the city. The lesser thoughts are evident everywhere one may look. It becomes a battle for one to keep higher thinking of the beauty of this city when mingling amongst the roots beneath it's dark soil.

Whether we are conscious of it or not, Law governs us all. We are aware that the Law of Gravitation exists. It is accepted by all in all professions and all cultures. It cannot be denied by logically developed minds. Even a child quickly becomes aware of it's principles. So then be not surprised to know that higher, more refined thought can be found not only in elevated thinking individuals, but in individuals who do their thinking at higher elevations. Higher, more pure thought are drawn upward as much so as the refined water in gas form. Those who live at lower levels of the Earth find it hard to breathe at high altitudes not because of simply the air. It is because they have lived amongst inferior element that bogs down spirit. At high altitudes their spirit and mind are exhilarated while their physical body aims lower where it seeks to hold comfort in lesser than surroundings. Their are some who would scoff at this idea. Tibet is known world wide. The Dalai Lama is a man respected by all faiths and the temple can be found in the highest region of Earth with a physical elevation of 16,000 feet. Men and women from all walks of life looking for enlightenment have been drawn to it. In fact temples of all kinds and buildings of the worlds most successful businesses are built at higher elevations. Be it on Earthly structure or created by man.

The CEO of the company never has his office on the first floor of a 60 story building. It is always at the where, Top! Whether we are conscious of it or it is driven purely by our subconscious this is no mistake. The greatest, clearest, most driven minds will always be drawn to higher elevations. Both mentally ... and physically.

The manufacturing plants may sit at the bottom of the valley, but make no mistake, the offices of the elevated minds who are the success of these companies will always sit above at elevated heights. They know something that the workers in the valley do not. They do not refrain from constant mingling with workers in the valley because they think themselves better. They know that extended time below will mix their thoughts with certain elements and conditions that will, like the gases in the sky, change them to lower forms and send them from their elevated position. It is not personal or out of smite or ego. It is out of higher intelligence. And such minds desire greatly for those in the valley to raise themselves and elevate their minds, thus bodies, from the mental and physical "poor" house to the "pent" house elevated above.

The Truth, the Whole Truth, and nothing But the Truth

The Truth is the Truth is inside each individual. We all know the truth. "The TRUTH shall set us free" But it is not "knowing" the Truth where the freedom lies. It is the application of that Truth inside of us. Our heart is but an organ if it does not pump blood to every inch of the body. An arm, useless, if we do not use it and apply it. The body and all functions of it become frail, obscure, weak, and useless without ... use. So too does the knowledge of Truth inside the mind.

In addition to this simple fact is the next step in consciousness of Truth. Once we understand we must apply it, not simply know it. We must understand how to use the application. For if the heart knows it must pump blood ... but only pumps it to the leg not understanding its application is meant to be well-rounded and dispersed in ALL directions, and not simply in one, then failure of life is to come. More power comes with each conscious step of Truth. First we understand we must use it and the power that exists in it. Second we fine tune the application. We stumble, we misuse, we may take for granted or not fully understand it's application. We may use it in the wrong direction. Like a fire-arm, will we use it to bring pain and chaos ... or fire it into the heavens to signal the start of this planet's united race? This is the power of Truth, Universal to all, within each being. As the process of fine tuning and using the application of Truth, it becomes like a treasured automobile. It becomes quicker to act. More efficient. With ability to reach more places in less time. Safer with less chance of a wreck or injury in it.  The comfort and joy when in it increases. The pleasure and desire more apparent within us when we sit inside and admire it. As does our desire to increase the fine tuning and build upon what we have already built.

Now we only move every lasting to the third step, the infinite step, of mastery. Of eternal growth and youth. Of continuous building of new and expanding material, that is building and application of greater and greater truth.

The Truth is a seed buried deep in each individual. Some seeds buried just at the surface. Some thousands of miles beneath. Some sprouting quickly in days, some taking years and years. Time is of no concern. Great Truths like the seeds of many beautiful plants need to be buried deeper in the soil and travel farther to reach the surface and blossom in all it's beauty. The trip and struggles through the deep soil and darkness it began in before the sun could fully shine on it was one that took longer to develop ... but make no mistake now. Now it is blossomed in grand exquisiteness. And though it took longer to blossom, it's roots lie deeper than the others around it. Roots now so deep and strong there is nothing that may destroy it. Cut it down, burn it, bring all force you may against it and the roots lie so deep you may not destroy it. It will come back again and again, outliving lesser Truths that try to overtake it. Try as they might lesser developed Truths may not outlive or out shine the perfect Truth, perfect harmonious thought.

Truth is not to be learned, not be read or taught, or shown or heard. Truth is to be realized. Realized, applied, and grown. It is not for anyone to teach. We may only attempt to inspire the Truth that is already within another individual. Acting as the Sun's rays giving warmth into the soil encouraging the seed to reach up to the surface where it is to blossom and live in the light and warmth of the heavens bliss.
