“Grace is the enlivening life (spirit) of God supporting and transforming creation. It expresses throughout the field of nature and from within every soul. It directs the course of evolution and awakens souls from their “sleep” of mortality. Living consciously with the rhythms of life, we are increasingly receptive and responsive to the actions of grace.” ~ Roy E. Davis, An Easy Guide to Meditation
To live in and act from grace is the calling of our true self. Rather than be
confined to experiencing life only through our five physical senses, we
have ‘spiritual senses’ that receive guidance directly from this enlivening
life. As we learn to utilize all our senses, we live within the awareness that
we are living in a field of grace.
Grace is a constant presence and inner guide that is the carrier of Truth
which we absorb through experience, reflection, and meditation. As we
develop a rich interior spiritual life, we find a divine well of grace that is
endlessly supplied. Grace is an uplifting presence to be felt; it is loving
support in the midst of sorrow or life’s challenges; it is wise intuition that
knows the best course for every situation. As clear channels of grace, our
spiritual senses draw us toward what is best for all in any circumstance.
We are able to think of life’s journey as an endless series of experiences
that lead us more deeply into grace.
In intentional meditation practices, the cerebrospinal fluid flows along the
spinal column (climbing Jacobs Ladder with its 33 rungs of vertebrae) to
the brain, enlivening and awakening the twelve cranial nerves (12 Disciples)
and the pineal gland. The pineal gland, when active, acts like a radio receiver that turns a signal into meaningful coherent information.
Meditation establishes capacity for intuitive-based feelings to become
‘set-up’ on the nervous system. It awakens the five ordinary senses of
perception into heightened functionality, becoming re-oriented away
from their habitual patterns of unconscious behavior and attraction so
that “living consciously with the rhythms of life, we are increasingly
receptive and responsive to the actions of grace.”
