You prepare a table before me: A holiday metaphysical perspective of Psalms 23:5 and abundance

The holiday season is here and abundance is everywhere.  Can you recognize it?  Is this abundance flowing into your everyday awareness.  If  not then perhaps Psalm 23 can shed some light on abundance in your life.  The Bible verse Psalms 23:5(NIV) states, You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows with blessings. During this holiday season there will be many tables set in anticipation of great feasting. Does this scripture relate to our meals? or is it metaphorically imploring us to be mindful of our thoughts? Each day presents itself as an opportunity to prepare for feast or famine. That feast may or may not involve literal food such as Thanksgiving dinner but more importantly a metaphysical cornucopia of thought. What are you thinking as you prepare your daily feasts? are you preparing mental famine? Are your thoughts of lack and/or limitation? or will your buffet table be filled with positive affirmations of peace, love and prosperity? Each thought projects an imprint into the manifestation of life and this verse is a reminder of the abundance of thoughts that dwell as the gift of human intelligence. Intelligence may be considered a dichotomy of "good" and/or "evil" therefore to manifest that which is "good" it will be necessary to prepare a table of good and right thinking. Watch your thoughts and words as you practice and prepare positivity.

A table is the foundation for the feast. Is your table of the right height and width? or is it limited in how much abundance it can hold? Have you ever hosted or been to an event and realized there was not enough table space to hold all the food? Imagine what that is like in your mind. It can be very frustrating being bombarded with so many images and messages from people and technology. For years folks have been guessing at how many messages are imprinted in our minds each day. The numbers are staggering with some guesstimating one person is receiving 5000 ad messages a day according to an article in the New York Times. That is a lot of mental clutter. How do you sort through it all to get the best and highest good for yourself and others? Is your mental filter clean?
Enemies would be thoughts that there simply is not enough. It is written that the feast has been prepared in the presence of enemies. Have you ever been to a wonderful gathering and suddenly something inappropriate is said or done? crickets...lol The person who drank too much or that bitter person dissing the potato salad( perhaps in an attempt to harness attention) sorta dampened an otherwise lovely setting. Do not allow the behavior or beliefs of anyone else to steal your joy. By doing so they are also depriving you of abundance. An enemy would be a thought that anything negative has any power in your life. If there are outer enemies then perhaps there are inner thoughts which are compounding the issue. Cancel, clear and delete your own negative thoughts and embody prayers of love. Let it go. If the dinner guests have arrived and the table is full it is necessary to expand the options. If everything can't fit on the table some things may have to be put aside until there is room for them later like the dessert. The same thing holds true in manifesting a desired outcome. Thoughts in mind create after there own kind and if there are negative thoughts filling your consciousness now is the time acknowledge and release them. If the mind is full of too many thoughts this may be a opportunity to sit back, relax and focus or meditate on God. God is love. In doing so the enemies or negative thoughts will flee into the nothingness from whence they came. The drunk falls asleep and all the potato salad is gone. sighs. Somebody liked it! and all is well...
An anointing according to metaphysican Charles Fillmore is a symbolic expression of the pouring out of the spirit of love on one who has faith in God. With faith in a higher source the spirit if love will always prevail. The holiday season can be an emotional and stressful time for many. Set your table with love first and all things shall be added. Happy Holidays!
My cup overflows with blessings and each moment I acknowledge and express gratitude for those blessings as they grow in abundantly.

A metaphysical perspective on the rain Matthew 18:3

This is considered the rainy season and while some folks dread the afternoon showers they are really blessing.  The Bible says in Matthew 18:3 "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."  As a child I remember getting excited for the rain, either I was prepared and got to wear that shiny coat with the cool rubber boots and awesome umbrella (kinda like Mary Poppins only much smaller) or if I was really lucky I got caught in it.  Wet drops of liquid sunshine falling from the sky. I would always pray for puddles to appear with no way around so I could splash in them always aiming for the middle hoping it was deep enough to reach my little ankles but not too deep.  The grownups would always panic and yell "look out" or "run so you don't get wet".  Somehow it seemed no fun for them.sighs. Maybe they forgot just how fun and spiritual the rain is.
Then I grew up...wait a minute...when did that happen?  geez. I am now one of "them".  Panicky and perhaps somewhat perplexed with the thought of another rainy day my mind would too often make minor inconveniences like traffic into major discomforts.  Then the thought occurred to me, I don't have to panic! no need to fret..  Annie sang about this. The sun will come out again. I can dance in this ran.  So I did. I danced! Fully clothed no raincoat no umbrella not even in my fabulous designer rain boots with the big polka dots. I laughed and even shed a tear, the rain was gracious and washed away any fears or concerns. The tears were unrecognizable and then it happened the clouds parted for a brief moment and the sun peaked out to kiss my face and smile at me.  I smiled back in gratitude for life. I danced in the rain and it washed all the tears away..and it felt so good a deep down spiritual good. Metaphysically, rain represents Spirit refreshing and enriching our thoughts and our mind. The rain can represent a spiritual cleansing of negativity thereby creating a space for manifestation of abundance and prosperity.
Sometimes as adults we get  into a state of mind while attaining and maintaining adult responsibilities where we forget to honor the inner child.  The inner child is that part of us that is innocent, and unassuming.  The inner child is inquisitive, imaginative and dreams unabashedly about life.  That inner child looks just like you and perhaps has been hurt, disappointed and maybe has been told it's simply not ok to play in the rain.  She may have forgotten how to dream and is just waiting to be acknowledged.  Does your inner child need permission to play? permission granted!
Go play in the rain its just what we may need to grow spiritually! (of course be safe and follow all the precautions  that are stored in your grown up subconscious) can't let go? then at least smile at the rain. its a start.. be happy
