Living Water (I Choose Love)


My cats understand that water is living. It is cute how they literally have a close relationship with it. They play with it, they chase it & try to catch it as it drips from the faucet - water is their friend and they look forward to seeing it each and every day. Water sustains them and comforts them and of course they are aware of that fact as they drink it on and off throughout their day, but to them it is more than sustenance it is their brother whom they love to an almost indescribable depth.

When I watch my cats playing with water and smile at their curiosity at its every move, it brings to mind the fact that the water is truly living. It is not just a figment of my cat’s imagination, a Jedi mind trick if you will, but it is truly living. Science has shown us that and for years people have denied it, but it is true I have no doubt. So for me my cat’s love of water is a lesson and I am taken back through my life to all the Christian scripture I have ever been taught regarding references which include water and lessons of spirituality as well as all of the science I have ever been taught which reference water and how it affects all of humanity.

Science shows us through the studies of Jagdish Chandra Bose where his studies of plants proved that they were an antennae for what we think, do and feel to the point where they act as the canary in the mine with a scientifically proven wireless telegraphy that has existed and was discovered much earlier than that which was patented by Marconi. The same thing can be shown through the studies of water done by Dr. Masaru Emoto which show the beautiful (and sometimes not so beautiful) frozen images of water after they have received negative and positive verbalization & whose studies have shown the proof of what the effects of blessing the food and liquids which we put in our bodies. This water phenomenon can also be found in experiments from the HeartMath Institute and many others & in my opinion there is no doubt to the power of water to hold the energy of all that are near it.

The fact that has been proven again and again in different experiments throughout the years and over time of how water acts as a conduit for our negative emotions & as a barometer that shows the state of the global emotional atmosphere caused by a mix of all the positive and negative emotions we as humans are holding within us and are unwilling to release. This scientific fact in itself should be enough to tell us how the way we act, think and feel toward others effects the entire globe, and how we act, think and feel toward ourselves affects our individual attitudes and health, but just like the Samaritan woman at the well who could not understand what Jesus meant when he told her that he WAS the Living Water (John 4), we also question this within ourselves and with that question, we program the water to remain still, stagnant and stale within us.

However, if we can pause for a moment and take time to open our minds to consider the truth of what is being said then like the woman at the well who sat listening to Jesus as they spoke we too can be changed by the living water which, if we allow it, can be troubled by the love of God and heal us all (John 5). Regardless of what belief you come from I think we all can come to the point of agreeing that God is Love, that the energy of God is Love and that even those who don’t believe in God or that Jesus was the son of God believe that what Jesus is said to have represented is pure Love and compassion for all of those in need. If we can put our own mindset into this place of Love & compassion then we all together can trouble the waters of all humanity with the Love of God just as the angel troubled the still waters of Bethesda. (John 5)

Imagine the healing that such a quake would bring!! Imagine if all of the waters across the entire globe were troubled just as the angel troubled the waters of Bethesda. Imagine the healing which would occur as the 80% water upon this earth we live in were cleansed and healed of all the negative emotion it has been carrying for us over the thousands of years upon this planet, imagine further the 80% water in plants being healed of the negative burdens just from us changing our own individual points of view to one of Love and compassion, imagine further the 80% water in animals being healed with that same power of love and compassion, and finally imagine what the healing would be like if we just took the time to heal ourselves.

If we troubled our hearts with the Love and compassion displayed by Jesus throughout his life by loving all, giving to all, spending time treating all with respect and honor whether they be a Jew, a Samaritan, a gentile, a prophet, a disciple, or the scourge of the earth then imagine the change that would occur upon this planet. It is time for us to "be the change we wish to see in the world" and trouble the waters of our own heart, body, mind and soul and create a world of Love and abundance. It is time we recognize there is no place for a mentality of fear and scarcity that is rampant among certain individuals and groups across our globe. It is time we recognize that in fact we are all one in the body & not one as Christians or Jews or Muslims or Pagans but really truly all one. Just as it is stated “the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech….” (Gen 11). Just as we did then by separating ourselves from the oneness and focusing on a pursuit of something such as our egos, which really have no place in a world of true Love and compassion, we still do by continuing the age old pursuit of pride over all else.

As it is often said “pride comes before the fall” and this is taught throughout the Christian scriptures from Genesis 11 and the story of the tower of Babel to Ecclesiastes and the lessons taught to us by ‘The Teacher’. So when you are considering your position politically consider whether or not you are operating out of a place of ego where you KNOW your point of view is right and it makes you feel justified in removing the freedoms of others to choose their own paths. When you are considering your position religiously consider whether or not you are operating from a place of ego KNOWING you are right and someone else is wrong and therefore you feel justified to admonish them, insult them, take their freedoms etc. When you are considering your position regarding the environment and our abuses of it consider whether or not your ego & pursuit of that which you KNOW you deserve is causing you to feel justified in pillaging that which we are supposed to be a steward of. Consider what we do for our egos and the pursuits justified by ego instead of justified by the Love of the Living Water. If you are not operating from that place of Love and compassion taught us by the various scriptures then how can you really say that you are operating from a place of God and the greater good as ‘The Teacher’ tells us in Ecclesiastes? Without Love and compassion running through the living waters of your veins how can you even receive the message of what is right and what is wrong? Without that how can you receive the knowing and understanding of what is truly best for humanity? Ask yourself if you cannot bring yourself to live your life displaying true Love and Compassion for others then how can you truly understand those who you effect around the globe and without that understanding how can you truly say you are operating from a place of that which is for God and the greater good? Just as Jesus lived his life from a place of Love and compassion for all and left the rest up to God it is my opinion that we too should do the same. Jesus is the Christian example of how to be human upon this earth and as Christians I believe it is a duty to follow his example without letting our egos assume that it is our jobs to act out the anger, wrath or destruction which God can be capable of delivering as taught in the Christian scriptures. According to the Christian Bible, God is the omniscient one NOT humans and therefore it is not up to us as humans to govern one another’s paths and freedoms or to make war for no reason other than a belief that it is inevitable or a belief that we mere humans can affect the prophecy to come more quickly by our mimic of what we interpret in Revelations, as much as it is the Christian's job to follow the example of God’s own son who despite knowing that there will always be both good and bad in the world made it a point to live His life in the good knowing that His Father would take care of the rest without His help. I don’t think you can do anything good without Love, compassion and a true understanding of the oneness which we all are a part of from before the split into one religion or geographical location occurred up until current times & with that I can say I don’t know about you but I know that for me….
I CHOOSE LOVE.
