Spiritual Attunement Through Meditation. Episode #144: Finding Our Original Self Today I’ll be sharing information from author and teacher of non-duality, Marshall Davis. These words are from his…
Marshall tells us that the Gospels tell the story of Jesus calling children to come to him.
You are likely familiar with the story.
The disciples stopped the parents.
Jesus became indignant at his disciples for prohibiting the children from seeing him.
He rebuked them, saying, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Truly, I tell you, anyone who will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." The message is clear.
There is something about the smallest children that is characteristic of the Kingdom of God, better translated as the divine realm or the spiritual realm.
What is it? We do not have conscious memories from when we were very young.
It is called infantile amnesia.
We cannot remember when we were infants, but we know that we were.
We know we did not pop into existence at the age of three.
Before you were born, I set you apart.
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." It is reminiscent of the Zen koan about your original face before you were born or before your parents were born.
The Pauline epistle goes even further.
He chose us in him before the foundation of the world.
We were in him before the beginning of the universe.
To see the Kingdom of God is to remember that eternal presence, to remember what we were before there was a cosmos.
That may sound impossible, but it is not.
It is the same awareness that we have of deep, dreamless sleep every night.
We know that we did not cease to be during those hours of the night.
Likewise, we know what we were before we were conceived.
What were you before you were born? We were not nothing.
