The Oldest Renewable Energy

by Rev. Phil Manke

For a while, now, I have been drawn to considering the oldest renewable energy and had thought it surely must be Love.

If I am believing that this world is my reality, is there any use for understanding or studying the ego thought of separation that made it seem possible?

The mind that believes it is of this world believes that the energy of the sun is the beginning of time, because it cannot know what is beyond it. Much thinking and processing is involved in this idea. Yet, what is beyond remains beyond. Eternal truth has no body. What is not of time cannot be old.

The ego still loves to study itself. That is the way to make itself seem real. Perhaps this is why only the mind free of attachment can explore this idea of just what truth is.

The ego is attached to the body and therefore is vulnerable. It has interests in being safe and in supporting ideas that insure its safety. The ego’s belief is that it is separate and alone. It knows it is made up and must one day die, but spends its life in frantic search to prolong what one day must occur. Is it any wonder that the ego is insane in all it does?  Its basic function is impossible!

The conflicts of this world seem to insure that you will not see truth beyond your body. Yet, in the silent time of meditation can one begin to remember what has always been true. Reason supports the mind at peace. The Identity of Mind is unlimited by form when you realize you have a choice to lookbeyond. Truth, as Love, is beyond time, and this world. Therefore it is not renewable, because it cannot be destroyed. Only the thoughts that obscure vision need be cleared and forgiven to see what has always been true.

Fearful thoughts cannot extend in truth, because it is their nature to close off and protect vulnerability.  There cannot be a separate thought of truth for every mind apart, but the mind can accept the one Mind of Truth and realize that all is whole. Indeed, it is the only way for it to be whole.

When we begin to realize the ephemeral nature of the world, we can realize that it is not worthy of contest or capture. It exists in our mind, and as such, is reflecting only of our thoughts. In other words, it only has the meaning we give to it.

Happiness is a choice, not an effect. We are not our bodies. We are free. Where are our thoughts of competition now? What need have we of this world but to reflect and share only what is real?

Choose happy peace, and be well in All That Is.
