HIRING
THE HEAVENS -- CHAPTER 1
BRINGING HEAVEN DOWN TO EARTH
Do you feel connected to Spirit? I’m not talking about a religious
background or affiliation. I’m talking about being connected to the power
of the Heavens—and bringing it right down here to Earth to use in your everyday
life.
For many people, spiritual connection means going to church and praying.
And even though they may believe they have a soul or spirit within, they
feel separate from the power of the Universe. They can worship it and form
religions around it, but it remains outside of them. Only in times of crisis
or noble cause do they feel justified in calling upon that power—and even
then they believe the response (or lack thereof) is entirely up to God.
The fact is, even those of us who believe in our oneness with Spirit often
find it difficult to envision such a tremendous force as a tangible, viable
energy in our daily lives. The idea that God is within each and every one
of us may be inspiring, but it’s just pretty prose unless we can somehow
get it into bite-sized pieces.
What we really need is a way to make our lives better. To be happier and
more at ease, find a fulfilling job, create a great marriage, help our kids,
be a good friend, make payments, reduce the stress in our lives. You know,
get through the day with as much grace and wisdom as possible.
We need help with the real stuff in our lives—the ups and downs and challenges
and yearnings we experience every day. If the power of the Heavens can’t
be brought down to that level, then what earthly use is it? I don’t expect
to be creating planets anytime soon, do you?
It’s amazing, really. Many of us believe we are divine vessels in physical
form, and yet take any mundane human problem, such as a bill that needs
to be paid or a deadline that’s too close, and suddenly we forget all about
that. We were born with the power that created the world, and yet we fall
apart when we have to create a workable schedule! Somehow our true nature
gets buried under the constant hum of our busy minds, our busy lives, and
our busy fears. Even with all the poetic reassurance of the omnipotent support
within us that’s provided by popular religion these days, we still feel
alone.
But what if it could be different? Let’s explore a shift in perception that
will make your connection to the creative force of the Heavens so real you
can reach out and grasp it. One that will turn familiar but abstract expressions,
such as “God is within you” and “Ask and you shall receive,” into something
immediate and real. Suddenly the expansive power of the Universe, which
had seemed so impossible to relate to, will be sitting right in the palm
of your hand. No longer will God seem like a lofty king choosing among the
myriad of prayers drifting His way. Instead, He—and all of the Heavens—will
become your ally and confidante, sitting right beside you and supporting
your every intention.
In these pages you’ll discover a fresh, revitalized way of looking at spirituality
that will ever so gently bring God down to Earth. And consider this: What
if that’s exactly where He’s always wanted to be? What if He’s been calling
to you all along, reminding you that you are an extension of Him, and that
as such it is your prerogative—no, your God-given mission—to take command
of this omnipresent power?
As far as I’m concerned, the single most important message in this book is
this:
BY DIVINE DESIGN WE ARE CREATORS, AND IT IS OUR
BIRTHRIGHT—INDEED, OUR DIRECTIVE—TO JOYFULLY WIELD THE POWER OF THE UNIVERSE.
This bears repeating. I’m saying that we are extensions
of the creative energy of the Universe, and that this vast resource is always
available to us—without restrictions. I’m saying that the same creative
force that existed from the beginning of time is our essential nature. I’m
saying that flowing through each and every one of us is a dynamic energy
that is ours to use deliberately to create the life we desire. Its potential
is unlimited, unbounded—and it belongs to each of us.
When we see ourselves as divinely sanctioned creators, something quite amazing
happens. The transformation is unmistakable. Life is lived from a different
vantage point. We recognize our authority to summon the vast resources of
the Heavens and all of the eager spiritual assistance that’s available for
everything we do. We discover that all conceivable tasks can be facilitated
and orchestrated, and all conceivable problems can be solved, by our connection
to this incredible power. With this new awareness we can shape our lives
on purpose, creating joy and fulfillment with such ease that it feels like
a miracle. Forevermore our lives can be a deliberate, joyful expression
of the infinite Source of all creation and possibilities. Heaven can finally
be brought down to Earth.
And it’s really quite simple. It’s as near as your next thought—or even closer.
Even if you read no more than the first few chapters of this book, your
life can be changed forever.
As Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “A mind stretched by a new idea can never
go back to its original dimensions.”
Are you ready to have your mind stretched?
