The Secret of the Oak Tree Acorn Can Lead to Joy and Harmony Within The Universe

I heard a friend say a few months ago, “The Universe Has Got My Back”.  It is truly amazing that the design of the Universe is such that there are no secrets and no gimmicks.  There are some Universal Laws and everything that exists, every choice, every action is either in harmony or out of the harmony with all the natural laws.

Think about it for a moment the oak tree has all the knowledge and wisdom that is required for it to produce an acorn and grow in perfect harmony for hundreds and hundreds of years.  There is no secret that the acorn must learn that is given by some selective process.  Within you is that same innate knowledge that is required for you to live in perfect harmony with all of the universe.  Just like the acorn, it is not a secret you must learn.  It is already known.

The difference between you and the oak tree is that being a human spirit you have the ability to make a choice.  You get to choose whether you will live where the consciousness of the universe exists.  You get to make the choice between even the most basic of life decisions.

If this secret innate knowledge exist within you, the key is choice. You must make the choice to begin to look within.  Look within to find the answers to every question and every decision.  When a person earnestly seeks the answer from within, they will become very clear that, in fact, it does exits.  The difficulty is within society today we have actually been programmed and taught through the centuries to actually stop looking.  We are taught in society that we are a victim of circumstance.  That life is not our fault, thus it must be someone else’s fault.  Society tells us we must place the idea of blame on someone.  This is happening from habit.  It is happening from choice.  It does not negate the fact that the innate knowledge of how to be in perfect harmony with the universe does not exist. It simply means – WE CHOOSE not to look for it.

Belief systems, religious practice, and spiritual dogma have absolutely nothing to do with the innate knowledge that exists within.  If a belief system, a religious practice, or spiritual dogma is in harmony with the natural laws of the universe, the person who believes and practices them will always be in harmony.  As many wise teachers before have said, there are many paths and many mountains – they all lead to the same place.

Think of it in this metaphorical way, within you is a series of shelves with various boxes upon them.  Each box is labeled with a different event that has transpired.  Each box contains the emotions, the experiences, and the lessons learned.  When you open the boxes and truly look within them, you can discover the true miracles, the abundance of life, and the purpose of life.  You will also discover in these boxes the choices made that resulted in experiences not in alignment with your own innate knowledge within.  When you stand back to see all the various boxes individually labeled and market – it is a deep and profound moment.  It is a life story and within that story one can see where moments shifted the course of the story.

Society has programmed us to not look inside the boxes.  The programmed belief is to close them tightly and seal them so they cannot accidentally open.  As we continue in this manner trying to figure out life, the new belief enters.  The new belief is that there must be some secret we missed in school as life is not very clear. This manner of living leaves us disappointed and full of fear.  So, we look outside of ourselves for someone to share a secret that will “make it all better”.  This is what these old programs, these old paradigms have taught us to do.  The result is that we become so overwhelmed at the vast number of boxes on the shelves, that to even begin fills us with “don’t dare” go there syndrome.

A new perception can begin to emerge when you pause and realize that you only have to explore one box at a time.  As you discover the miracle in the single box, it is then that you discover you have more of your own “secrets” than you ever thought.  You discover you can be the loving and empowered being that has access to all of your innate knowledge.  By opening box by box and identifying what is contained in each one, you reveal the truth about yourself.  The knowledge empowers you.

Many have asked me recently asking for direction on their journey knowing something is out of alignment with the Universe.  They are confused, lost, and in chaos.  They fear looking back at what they call traumas and wounds in life, unsure if they want to go there yet again.  They just want the secret key to life.  They want the key to unlock the door to perpetual joy, serenity, and harmony.  They know the old paradigm is not working but have no belief that they themselves hold the answer – the golden key.

Understand that looking forward from this moment, your actions, your choices determine the path and direction.  Discovering that the secret key within will unlock the “secret” of your own innate knowledge.  It is already in your possession – you must be willing to look for it.  Believe – Willingness – Trust
